My Cane Corso is not easy. I've been to several different Veterinarians and different hospitals for my baby and this hospital is by far my favorite! The BEST of the BEST is what you will get. The staff is AMAZING! They took my dog in and they handled her like no other! I will be back! Even if it's just to say hi! THANK YOU!

I would highly recommend Oakhurst. New to the area and leaving the vet I just found because twice they could not see my dog when needing an immediate visit. My old vet always found time. Called Oakhurst today and got us in immediately and visit was very caring and thorough!

We had a very positive experience. Dr. Leanza took her time, made sure our puppy was relaxed and happy, answered our questions, and provided us with reading materials, and clear information. The waiting room and treatment rooms were clean, modern, and spacious.

Oakhurst Vets have taken such good care of all our fur babies. We know that our animals can expect very competent and compassionate care. The kindness of the staff has helped our family through some very recent tragic times. The outpouring of care and concern is deeply appreciated and has helped us deal with our losses.
