All of the personnel were pleasant. They treated me and my dog great. They resolved all his problems. He is not the easiest dog to handle but he came out stress free. I would recommend them highly.

My chihuahua was dying in my arms and I couldn't get him across town to the other vet without him suffering. We got him to Pioneer and they helped him immediately end his suffering. Including creamation, and everything. We are going to try to switch our other pets to Pioneer now. Thanks guys for everything. Cory

I was glad to get an appointment and people are nice. I think vet costs are high in general. I just wish he'd have explained the costs of treatment for my first dog before putting her name on the medication. That way I could do what I could afford. Vet costs can get high when you have two dogs. Also I absolutely do not like my dog getting examined in a different room than I am in. They take them in a different room to do the examination.

How does the owner know they have been examined at all? If the doctor comes back in the same room with you anyway, "how does this have to do with Covid?" It all was pretty strange. On the second dog, they helped with the cost situation which I did appreciate! But I was still feeling upset from the first dog at the same time. I kind of felt like I came in for one thing and he found ten other things to charge for. We all want to do what's best for our dogs and don't mind paying for them to be healthy. But for some vet care can mean not paying other bills or getting behind.

Excellent service for my emergency. Was very very accommodating. My sweet Jax(snorky) couldn't walk or relieve himself. 7:45 am( before Business hours) they accommodated us!. Made no promises to treatment, yet they took him in. I had been to two animal hospitals prior and was turned away. Now just 2 days later back to normal. Bladder infection. Praise the nurses and Dr Dr. Wood!

My furbabies have gone to this clinic since moving to Leavenworth. Very caring, compassionate and professional. Thank you for the awesome care!
