When I woke up and found my Cat ill and had no idea why, I called my vet of 23 years. They said oh next Friday we can get her in. What? So I called my friends Vet (Lake Cable Animal Hospital) and they got me in within the hour. I was SO appreciative of their help. I will be using them from now on.

Took my dear boy to this vet. She was very nice but her staff could use some training. Anyway wanted me to just send my dog in by himself. I do understand these are difficult times. But that's like asking you to send your young child into the drs office by themselves. AND WHO WOULD DO THAT.! Already found another vet. When I told them why I was switching and ask about their policy they assured me they would never ask me to send my pup in alone. Don't take your pets here.

It's not everyday you can call a vet clinic and get right in especially a busy clinic, I called because one of our pets passed away and I was told to bring him right in. We had him privately cremated because he meant so much to us! Even though the staff was busy with other animals and surgery I got right in. My fiance was very attached I got him a paw print and Ken the vet tech had brought it out and wanted to see what I thought first which meant a lot! They turned out perfect! Now we have him returned to us and we couldn't be more relieved and grateful! Dr. Watters is a very caring vet and I couldn't ask for a better staff!
