I have been going here for over 10 years, having brought 2 different dogs and six cats. My beloved pets have always gotten the best care there, even at the end of life. Dr Sloat is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met, he exudes kindness and gentleness. When my pitbull, Satara got liver cancer, and was beginning to suffer with liver failure, he came to my home to euthanize her in a comfortable, familiar environment (that was over 10 years ago, so I don't know if he still is able to do that.) Dr Russo-Moon has been managing my little Jack Russell's diabetes over the past 3-4 months and they have been great with having the special diet, insulin and needles available.
This is a great place and I recommend it without reservation. 2022- I lost my Jack Russell and had to euthanize a cat, and once again, they were so lovely. They sent condolence cards. Now I'm bringing my two huskies there, and they fit us in to the schedule so I was able to bring them both in. Awesome care, as usual!
