Dr Rowan and all the staff here are the best! They treat us like family and give best care. They aren't the cheapest vet around but they are the best. Hands down. All the vets there take great care of our fur babies.

Rutherford is by far one of the best vets I have ever been to. They have see 2 out of our 5 animals and every time they have been caring and compassionate. This last time my cat Panther had to be rushed into surgery for a blockage. Rutherford truly went above and beyond for us. We already know we will be clients of Rutherford for life.
