I am only Giving Circle of life a 4 Star because it was my very first time taking my Yorkshire dog to them. They were very professional and was really good on explaining things and making sure that my dog was in good health and to be honest with you I will be taking her back from here on out all the staff was very good to my dog and to me and you just don't really get that much anymore from others so definitely well worth going there!

My cat Winnie got hurt, attacked by an animal outside during covid when they had no availability and were booked for the day. The staff talked to the Doctor and she made special time for him to come in and to be taken care of despite not having any openings. They were very sweet kind and gentle with him. Very thankful for them

They are always very respectful of our pets and the pet situation in the main lobby, they don't just let a bunch of people with giant dogs (like myself) in at once and just let them possibly go at it in the lobby. very good with cats and dogs.

We lost our dog this week. I called this place and everyone showed such caring and compassion. We had to have Luke cremated and the kindness shown to us helped make this process less painful. Thank you ladies for everything that you did to help make this somewhat easier. I highly recommend this place.

Rosie came home smelling so clean and pretty and was as soft as can be. How you are able to take a long-haired cat and get all the knots out of her fur is beyond me. And she came home happy and relaxed. Your groomer is amazing!

Amazing staff, affordable pricing. They genuinely seem to care about your pet, and I greatly appreciated that they were able to get my sick kitty in to see the doctor within just a few hours of me calling! My furbaby is now doing much better and didn't seem too angry about her trip. I will be using them as my go-to vet going forward.

Critical: Professionalism I brought my pets here for many years. I thought they had genuine concern for animals and their best interest. However, this is not the case. Certain staff here are more concerned about assisting others in gaining possession of their pet for the sake of benefiting their own personal life verses what is blatantly best for the pet.

Took our puppy, Bentley here for his his first vet visit based off wonderful reviews and word of mouth. The staff was very nice, professional and knowledgeable. We left with answers to all of our questions and have a happy, healthy pup!

They are awesome even during these trying times. I can't wait to finally be able to meet the whole staff once things get back to normal. They quickly accepted our family into theirs while we are living/staying in MO, allowing my elderly shepherd to continue her treatments when we are at our home away from home. Everyone has been kind and very helpful and I really appreciate each of them (and so does Tammi)!

She normally hesitates to leave me especially when it's a stranger, but she was very comfortable going inside without me from the first day! I highly recommend Circle of Life Animal Hospital to anyone in the area needing an Awesome Vet Clinic!

I have taken our dogs here for years! The staff has been kind to us and our animals. Dr. Cook has many times gone above and beyond what anyone expected from a veterinarian! Although the whole staff operates on a professional level they are personable and make our visits seem more like visiting friends! From helping helping find homes for animals dumped out at our home; including staff adopting themselves; to taking excellent care of our animals at affordable prices; to even seeing our daughters dogs who had escaped and retuning them because a staff member remembered treating them! These are caring individuals and highly recommended!

My family and I have been taking our Animals to a veterinarian for 21 years, and that's pets and farm animals. We had an emergency with one of our pets and they never returned our call so we called circle of life veterinarian. They helped us that day it was very nice. Since then we went back to circle of life and they are still outstanding very polite. love this place!

We have loved the treatment we have gotten from circle of life so we no longer go to the old veterinarian. circle of life is our new choice! outstanding cannot complain about one thing about them love them.
