Got myself a new little pupper and was totally convinced that he was breathing too fast. Called Dr. Thomas and she got me in and like and hour. She listened to his heart and said "he's fine". Lol. I appreciate SO MUCH that they got me in so fast! I love this vet! Update: may 30, 2022 Took my chonky pupper back for his booster shots. He learned about heart worm, and even found a Bassett on the dog chart.

Had a weekend emergency and was worried I wouldn't be able to talk to anyone. Had a callback within minutes, addressed every question and walked me through what I needed to do. Happy with the whole staff at Thomas Vet Clinic!
