Decided to go to this vet we are new to this area. We were very happy with them. Girls at the front desk are all so nice and also the technicians. We seen two vets and both were excellent, very knowledgeable and took there time to explain what was wrong with our dogs. We will continue to use them because we think that they are great and so does my doggies.

The service was great. Friendly people and doctor. Please ask for cost prior to having work done. I did not and was shocked by big bill. But they were able to adjust things in a kind and friendly manner. Thank you for taking great care of our dog.

Found this place on Google. Reviews were excellent so I tried them out. My dog (Dallas) needed surgery. So when I first went there they gave me an estimate for the surgery which was reasonable. Day of the surgery after everything went really good I went to pay and it's a lot cheaper I mean a lot cheaper than what was estimated. They are very knowledgeable quick fast and my dog is recovering beautifully. I will be coming back here and bringing my other dogs now, thank you.

Once again, I'm amazed at the level of care this veterinary hospital offers. The entire staff is wonderful and today, Judy went out of her way to recommend ideas to encourage Jasmine to eat. Went home and gave her the cooked potato and cottage cheese. Jasmine loved it! Thanks again, Judy!

I have a tiny 4.5 pound chihuahua who has epilepsy so I was terrified to have a much needed dental on him. After getting an estimate for almost 1,000.00 from another hospital I called for a second opinion. Judy took time to explain the entire estimate, compare it to their process and even figured out what untypical charges were by asking her vets. She eased my mind so much I decided to have small animal hospital do the dental.

The process was great! She was even kind enough to send me a quick photo of my baby in recovery. He lost 6 little choppers from his overcrowded tiny mouth and his teeth are pearly white! His kisses don't stink at all anymore and I guess we will have to find a new nick name because stink face doesn't suit him anymore! If you have any hesitation about a dental like I did. just do it! Dr Dupre performed the dental flawlessly and Judy and the rest of the front office were great! The cost was half of my previous estimate. I highly recommend!
