Dr. Fouts has been caring for our Ripley girl for 7 years! He always listens to your questions and concerns. Dr. Fouts takes the time to explain and makes sure you understand! I couldn't be happier with the Hillside family!

Great knowledgeable veterinarians! Reasonable pricing. They always explain in detail what's going on with your pet and what needs to be done without doing tests etc that aren't necessary.

There really isn't an answer to that. We feel that the staff at Hillside are amazing and give their hearts to the community of pet families. I never have to worry about how myself, my pets, or anyone in our family are treated because Hillside is a PART of family to us! From the front desk associates, to the vet assistants, vet techs, and all the way to the doctors themselves this is literally the best place to care for your pets.

Hillside Small Animal Hospital has been taking care of Annie Lou since she was a puppy. The entire staff is caring, compassionate and I always know my Annie is in good hands at all times to include boarding. Thank you Hillside Team for all you do.
