I have been going here for about 10 or so years. Regardless of Veternarian, Vet tech or administrator I have had in contact with I am always happy with the experience. Everyone is very knowledgeable and willing to answer any questions I have had. Everyone is always professional and very helpful. I always feel safe and comforted knowing they have my Sheri (dog) in their hands. Especially now that she is nearing the end of her life.

They offer services (like arthritis shots)that hemp ease her pain for a fee, and they also offer plenty of free advice and small articles to help you get started on the right path to help your dog be comfortable, happy and as active as they can be, at home. Even though I have moved about 40-45 minutes away, they are still my families vet.

Good service and people. They also gave me the Exam price on the phone, before the service even started. I tried Loving Care on NW Highway, but they refused to tell me the basic Guinea Pig Exam price till AFTER the Exam was finished. When I posted a bad review on Google Maps, they responded by calling me a Bully. And, they didn't even address their practice of refusing to give me the cost upfront.

I looked at other reviews, and they again call people who have issues with them bullies. They also said something about not discussing their practice, if they haven't seen my pet, why? Other Vets do it quite nicely. Can't they stand up for their actions without gaslighting clients? Don't get scammed. Get the costs before, not after. Don't go to Loving Care.

Rand Rd is excellent! I have taken my dogs here and they are also an approved vet for the rescue I foster for. Very knowledgeable and caring. Clearly do what's best for the animals. Very lucky to have Dr. Pete and Dr. Judy close by!

I honestly don't know what's been happening here. But I've been coming here for a couple of years now. My appointment was at 10:00am nobody had checked on my dog until 10:50am don't know what can possibly take so long. Another thing. My dog was yawning. Yawning. And the worker told him to shush I don't know who this lady thinks she is but if my dog wants to yawn he can yawn.
