I ended up at the Hilltop location by accident after the closer location to my home failed to inform me my appointment had been cancelled due to a doctor being sick.
However, I feel extremely blessed to have gone to Hilltop and to have worked with Angie, Joy & Vavilih. After my visit I felt my baby boy Ares was well cared for and my daughter and I were well informed/educated on my puppy and his needs.
Due to the great service, the welcoming environment, and the reasonable pricing Ares will remain at this location for all of his care.

I needed to bring my dog in for a same day appointment. Trinity and Jacob provided exceptional customer service and they were able to help my dog within the hour. I was thoroughly impressed with their efforts. 10/10 customer service!

Jacob was very caring and professional. He helped us to understand the options for our dog's wellness plan and what made sense based on our dog's age and needs. Jacob was very helpful and made us feel that our dog was being well cared for. Thank you!

Recently transferred my pets here and I have to say it’s the best decision I’ve made. The staff is great, and the care for my animals has been exceptional. Especially today. A young gentleman named Jacob did and excellent job with my dog and was so informative and made the experience so easy. I joined the care plan and will continue to come back!

What is an Optimum Wellness Plan?

You can spread the cost of your wellness plan across the 12 months of your annual agreement to make it easier to budget for the essential health care your pet needs. Your monthly payments can be automatically withdrawn from a checking or savings account or charged to a credit card so that you don’t have to worry about them once you enroll. We also offer the option of paying in full if you prefer.
What kind of appointment do I have?
• In-room appointments: You and your pet visit the vet together. Please arrive a few minutes before your appointment time
• Drop-off appointments: If you have a drop-off appointment, we will communicate a time to drop off your pet. Keep your phone nearby and we’ll call you when your pet is ready for pickup.
