From calling and talking with them all the way till we left, it made what we had to do a little bit better. Thank you so very much to the staff at Vista Animal Care for being so caring, for the clay paw print an for the card you sent.

They do a great job with my two puggles. The vet techs must be so lovable because my dogs pull on the chain to go in. Plus I have always gotten a call back from the vet the same day I have a concern or question.
