They will not give out lepto shots first vet clinic I have ever heard of that refuses to give lepto shot! Sorry but no vet should have the right to refuse a shot because they don't believe in it

How do they have so many stars? They don't even answer phones and have so many restrictions in order to get a hold of someone.

Brought my dog in an emergency (he had been shot by some kid for the heck of it) they turned me away saying they couldn't help me. I then brought my dog to firgrove veterinary and they were able to slow his bleeding down and prep him for emergency surgery which was done at Sumner vet and I'm happy to say he is fine and happy.

Was told when we brought out dog in for his puppy visit (he was 85lbs at the time) to make an appointment on the first to get him neutered. Called today and was told no dogs over 60 lbs. My question was why was i told to make an appointment on the first by the Dr. Only to be denied by the very rude receptionist? We will be taking our 3 dogs elsewhere for care. Love Dr Russell, but will no longer tolerate the rudness of the office. She is constantly rude over the phone like you're wasting her time when you call.

Due to covid-19 the schedule and time is a little odd. Yet we all adapted to make our pocket book and our pets happy cuz the vet doctor is a animal whisper.aka knows her info/stuff. I always recommend them! I thank them for their time to make my animals happy.

I loved the Dr. her style was easy and caring, the receptionist not so much. They Have very limited hours, none conducive to working people. When I asked what do working people do, she laughed and said "don't know". Her suggestion was I have someone else bring my cat in, not a realistic answer. Needless to say, this forces me to a different vet, it's a shame.
