Top notch vets, phenomenal staff, my dog loves going to the vet and that should be all you need to know. They also have play groups, grooming & spa, as well as boarding! All of which we've used and our dog loved it!

I am not a client of this place, but my wife's Aunt has been going there for around forty years. I have taken her there a few times and have always been impressed with how nice everybody is. They not only care about the animals, but their owners as well. I have no problem recommending them to anyone who wants their pets taken care of in a fantastic environment.

Dr Westerfield treats my dog as if it's her own. I have total faith and trust in her which is the most important thing to me. She also communicates very well and my dog seems to respond to her treatments advice. She is a very good Vet and has always impressed me with her care.

I have been taken my dog for 14 years and I did liked the vets very much. This week I called to ask to speech with a vet in the phone before an appointment on Saturday. I want to have blood work before my appointment. Secretary named Melony extremely rude and not willing to help. Stated I couldn't have blood work before my appointment and I could not talk to the vet in the phone, unless is a phone visit.
I wanted just blood work done before my visit to expedite the process. I always pay the full bill, I have never used dog insurance. My dog and it is written in his chart is very anxious and due to covid I could not go inside with him. I explain all this to Melony, but with no avail. Rude, unprofessional. They will lost a client or future Referal due to Melony. Magda siqueira

As new puppy owners, we were very particular about the future care of our baby. Schulhof came very highly recommended and did not disappoint with the compassionate care that we have seen from our first visit. Everyone at Schulhof has demonstrated such kindness and expertise from the receptionist answering our calls to the staff and doctors handling our puppy.
