We take Dozer and Lily to Pine Creek and they are fantastic! I have always loved this vet; they make sure your pet is comfortable. They talk to you in terms you can understand and are sure that you are ok with everything before doing anything. I'd recommend them to anyone!

The staff at Pine Creek are so caring and amazing. Even when they are busy, they make you feel like your pet is the most important thing in the place, taking time to listen and care. I have worked with multiple vets here and they both were great with follow-up calls to communicate with me when my dog was sick. When it was apparent that it was time to say good-bye to him, I felt such support and genuine caring. I can't thank them enough for all that they did during a very difficult time.

Rufus is my shy guy and they do everything possible to make him more comfortable and a little more relaxed. He loves the rooms with windows

Report
My 16 yo cat was very ill. The doctor agreed that Spot had a good life and prolonging it wouldn't be in best interest. The staff and doctor were very supportive and let me stay with Spot while she was euthanized. I got to spend time with her and hold her saying our final goodbyes. I would highly recommend Pine Creek for their kindness and professionalism. They even sent me a sympathy card.
