From my first contact with Coldwater I knew I picked the right place to have my Chloe looked at. The office staff was amazing and dr took time to explain everything and suggest what was best for Chloe. I highly recommend them

Everything was great with them. In the few visits I went to. Only bad experience was they didn't explain to me how they test stool samples. And they tested my dogs stool sample for the wrong thing so that was a waste of money. Other than that it's been good.
