Our last vet office was a nightmare, so I was a bit nervous. But we have always been well taken care of! All of our pets get vet care here.

First time appointment for a Rabies, full exam, and heartworm testing for my newly shelter adopted Australian Cattle Dog. She was in a shelter for 2 years in Texas and really has Vet avoidance issues with my previous Vet Clinic. I decided to try a new Clinic. This was an amazing experience as Dr. Donna Wilson and Vet Technician Alex were able to complete the procedures with care, professionalism, and ease. 5 Thumbs up for their Exceptional Customer care for my Cattle Dog. These folks at Mountain Shadows walk on water and eat fire in my book on exceptional Veterinary care.

The staff and doctors at mountain shadows have been great with my girl. She has had a few recent health issues but everyone there make her comfortable and not stressed. I've had bad vets and I can say that these folks are amazing. I have no doubt about their capability and trust their decisions. After all, my dog is my family and I want the best care for her the same way I would want the best for my human family. Would I return and would I recommend? Yes and absolutely yes!
