"They were so sweet and really put me at ease when I had to get my dog medical assistance the same day. I will be bringing my other two dogs to them very soon for check ups..Dr. DeHart is wonderful and caring. I love that she also explains things in ways I can understand and makes plans to help your pet..unfortunately, I went to another animal hospital and after surgery lost my baby...I have so many regrets and one being that I didn't chose to go to the animal hospital that the Dr. recommended and settled for something closer to my home. I will bring all my future pets here!"
