We booked a 3 week kennel stay 2 months before vacation and we had gone to office 2 times to make sure everything was set up ok. Even picked the 2 kennels for are dogs. Now 2 weeks to vacation and we stop by to check on reservations and they cant find them and they are all booked up. They acted as if they couldnt care. We found a different kennel and will never be back. Be Ware Just because you have a booking doesnt mean it will be there when you take your dog to drop it off.

We have been coming for years, with multiple pets. They are friendly and do not push you to make decisions. Grooming is affrodable and the doctors are friendly. They have grown a lot and are getting busy, make sure to make an appointment or you will end up waiting in line.

Absolutely horrible. it says that they do exotics and small animals and then turn around and say that they don't do cats or small dogs. turned a patient away with a chihuahua and said we do not do small dogs. and told me that they took care credit and when I showed up with my service dog they said that they don't accept care credit and was baffled when I showed them the text saying so. don't trust this vet office. my dog is a very alert and aware animal. as soon as the vet stepped out of the building I could tell that my service dog was uncomfortable just being in the car in front of the building. do not recommend. find some place better. like a place that actually listens to the pet owner and not try to talk you into other treatments that won't work.not to mention they are more expensive then other vets in the area.

Dr. Brown was amazing. She made an appointment for me super fast, I didn't feel pressured to spend extra money. She was upfront about all costs before proceeding with care so we knew what was going on. She was so gentle with my senior dog and genuinely cared about her physical and mental well being. She explained all results in a way I could understand. Absolute 5 star experience and they now have a whole family of fur babies as life long customers and patients.

VERY happy with our new vet clinic! We moved into the state and love that we've found such a genuine place to care for our 3-year-old labradoodle. You can tell that this isn't a business whose #1 goal is to make lots of money. Their #1 goal is to care for your animals. Dr. Brown was very thorough in her check up on our pup, and she was transparent in what she recommended for Teddy and what the cost would be. Definitely will be staying with this practice!

We have been taking our pets here for years. Dr Knudson is kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. I have never had a problem with any of the staff. The pricing is fair and I love their different areas for service. One of my current boys doesn't do well around other dogs so I appreciate that we can be seen in the gazebo or little cabin. Thank you for making time for them when they are very sick, it's a relive that they can usually get us in quickly.
