I've been coming here for almost 10 years and I'm always pleased with their service and care they give my dog Baxter. I moved about 30 min away but still travel back to use their services. Highly recommend.

Today was my first experience taking our senior dog Lilly to be groomed. The groomer Stacy did an amazing job. Stacy was very kind and thoughtful in making our furr baby look so adorable.

The doctors, technicians, and receptionists are fantastic. Dr. Morgan was recommended to me and she is great. My dog has also seen other Vets in the practice and they have all been great as well. Thank you to everyone at Jarrettsville Vets for taking care of my baby!

Dr Magnifico is an awesome veterinarian who truly puts the animal first. They have a program to set up a savings acct for your animal for when you are short on money, you can just pull the payment from the account. Great place that will help you as much as they can with financial issues within reason.
