Best place to take your fur kids! They love Animals here for sure. They have full care. Boarding and grooming. We've been coming here for years. and it's amazing when your furkids love going TO the vet.

It is with great disappointment that I write this review. When I relocated to Wellington, I needed to find a vet for my 12 year old pup. My initial impression of this clinic was positive. I had several issues that came up and made me realize that they lack compassion for the animals and are all about the money. Their lack of willingness to investigate my dog's symptoms lead to an sinus infection. Unfortunately, this was not an isolated event.
Whenever a payment issue comes up, the doctors are nowhere to be found. You are then forced to speak with the staff which is less than helpful. They also have difficulty staying on schedule. Wait times of 30 + minutes is not unusual.

My cat, Mittens, was not well and Animal Healthcare got me in right away. I was very concerned. They were friendly, professional and helped me decide the right course of treatment. They were also very fair, as in price, and didn't rush to do expensive tests or treatments. Mittens got better, but it scared me. I would recommend Animal Healthcare Center and Use them again.

I love this place. Dr. Dew and his staff are wonderful and caring. My rescue fur baby has been going there for her vaccinations. She needed some dental work which went well. I highly recommend Animal HealthCare Center for all your needs. They also call me after a visit for a vaccination or other procedures to make sure my baby is ok. If I call and need to talk to Dr. Dew, he calls me back. I know several people who use Dr. Dew after problems elsewhere. It's just a great place

I have met all the vets here and they're all wonderful. My Yorkie got fixed here. I just went for her yearly exam with shots. Dr. Dew and the office manager really made her feel at ease. They gave her the biggest and warmest "hello". My baby relaxed so much, she kissed them both! Sue, a receptionist there, and my family and I have known each other for eons. She absolutely loves animals and is a real sweetheart. This is an awesome practice! Xoxo
