My dog has always had such a hard time at vet visits and the team here was so caring, really responsive to his needs, and letting him get comfortable. It was the best vet experience we've ever had. I couldn't believe how it easy it was. They're the best! Thank you so much!!

Dr. Schilkie and her team are exceptional. They have a strong affection for dogs and provide care as if the dogs were their own pets. Dr. Schilkie is a compassionate veterinarian and the best in her field. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Schilkie providing excellent care for our animals.

I am very happy with the care and attention my dog received at PRVC. Dr. Schilke is very thorough and spent time to make sure I understood what was needed for my dog's care and follow up.

This is the best vet I have ever been to. All of the doctors are so kind and genuinely care about (and remember) every pet they care for. Couldn't recommend them more.

I have never disliked a vet visit more than I have this time. I left that place feeling like i was just scammed and it only got worse. Not only was I given a 200 dollar antibiotic for something simple the written script i was given to take to a pharmacy was also over 200 bucks. I have worked in vets in the past and have never seen someone given this very expensive antibiotic for something as simple as kennel cough.
And even when i expressed my concern over the choice of meds i was told oh well thats what the dr says to use. It works better. Meanwhile a week later my dog is showing no signs of improvement at all and im going to have to take him to see another vet. One who will give me something that wont cost me an arm for it and will work. Ill never be back to this place again.

Phone lines were not working so we arrived without an appointment to follow up with our sick dog. The staff were all so considerate. Dr. Bayha squeezed our dog into her already busy schedule, examined her and gave us a treatment plan. We are grateful for this service.
