These folks are wonderful! I really appreciated the care they took with my cat. I only left because I wanted a vet that was closer to my house because driving with a cat is.well, you know. :

Very impressed with this knowledgeable veterinarian. Didn't even have to bring my elderly dog in the last time. They were able to diagnose his problem just for my stool sample. They then put him on the proper treatment and two weeks later he was great.

If you're seeking a new veterinary office, look no further. The doctors and staff of Animals R Special are outstanding. Being a first-time puppy owner, I've made my fair share of calls and visits to the office. They're always responsive and compassionate no matter how minute the need proved to be. Today I had a bit of a scare when my 1 y.o. Pomeranian had an adverse reaction to his vaccines. They took immediate action to stabilize him and did so without billing me back for the extra measures taken to ensure that he was well. (Thank you Dr. Wagner and team!) I came to Animals R Special via a referral and wish to offer this review as my referral to anyone looking for a vet office. Animal care doesn't get better than these ladies!
