Best vet around. We travel for work. Sometimes states away. But we will always come back to Chappelle for our pet's care.

This clinic cares so much about you and your pets. The clinical care the very talented team at Chappelle provide is always exceptional. I really like the nail trimming with each visit and I appreciate the time every staff member is willing to spend with me answering questions about my dog and their health.

Took two 8 week puppies in with severe diarrhea and a fecal sample. They outsource samples to another lab! Sent me home with a case (12 cans) of prescription food and a box of probiotics. When asked how much to feed them, I was told to go on Purina's website and look it up. As for the probiotics, the tech said to sprinkle "some" on the food. Nothing more specific than that. They said to feed the canned food for three days yet sold me a case. Not impressed with the quality of customer service or professionalism.

Visited on 1/12/22 for the first time. Had a cat that unfortunatly did not make it. The staff and vet were very sensitive about the matter and I don't think they could have handled it better. Their pricing was very fair and they did not insist on services that didn't seem necessary. Will use again and would recommend. Thank you for your care in our time of loss. D

I have been taking my animals here for the past 15 years. Dr. Suto is awesome! When any of my babies has had a procedure, from teeth cleaning to cancer removal, he has called to tell me what he found & what the continuing treatment was if needed or not. Very thankful for a great vets office, my fur babies are the most important to me!

Absolutely love the care we receive from Chappelle. They are respectful and truly care about the animal and their owner. Our favorite is Dr. Lewis, she goes above and beyond every time.
