I had a wonderful experience and so did my new rescue dog. He was given a room to help him stay calm and he was able to get his nails done. They are responsive to all my dogs needs and l highly recommend this service.

Just want to say what a great place DC Ranch animal clinic is. We were warmly greeted by Yesenia, then we had the pleasure of meeting Melody, that was extremely accommodating when it came to our very skittish cat. Entirely professional. Dr. Lopez is the primary reason we came to this practice. She is a consummate professional in every sense of the word. The care and consideration she gave our cat when he was a kitten, and now as a senior cat, shows her true calling. Thanks to everyone at D C Ranch animal clinic!

I came to DC Ranch Animal Hospital after a very bad time at another vet- I was scared, a little untrusting and very nervous about my pup's health. DC Ranch Animal Hospital immediately made me feel heard, and that my pup was in the best hands! They were able to diagnose her quickly and get her what she needed to feel better. I have recommended them to friends and am so thankful we landed in their care.

Great experience at DC Ranch Animal Hospital. We were out of state visiting some family when our dog got sick. Staff was able to get us in same day and were all super kind! Doctor Wheeler was super sweet and very patient with our nervous Chihuahua. Wish we lived here so he could be our primary vet!
