They are amazing. My dog broke his femur at the head everyone told me I had to wait a month to be seen even though I already had an X-ray as well as another month to have the actual procedure. My dog had already waited a month for the X-ray. Selma was amazing I called Friday my dog was seen and had surgery performed the following Monday. Thank you so much for your help I greatly appreciate you guys. The price was super affordable and a breath of relief. The drive was almost 4hrs but I highly recommend this hospital.

Been using their service for nearly 30 years. I haven't he as an issue yet. They have a great record keeping system as well. That's very rare, because most places change and update their systems, which sometimes cause old information to be lost. Try them out for yourself

My dog had worms and it was like he never got any reprieve from them, so we changed animal hospitals and he has been fine.
