I'm a caretaker and the amazing lady i work with has elderly cats. When we had to put Red Ruby down we brought him here and they were amazing. They were kind, considerate and made the situation as painless for both the cat and us as possible. We ended up having to put another cat down months later and they were just as amazing. Included the picture to show they made both the cat and my friend as comfortable as possible.

Don't bother calling. Not accepting new patients and booked 8 weeks out currently. Update: Response to owners. Can't give you 5 stars. Besides, by your own admission you are overworked and therefore more likely to make mistakes as noted in other reviews. Fair warning for new customers. Need more vets? Maybe increase salary offers so you attract help needed to provide 5 star services.

Amazing and thorough care for our favorite critters! We've been taking our dogs to Dr. Boyer for almost five years and have one good experience after the other. Once mentioned that our dog had been licking a spot incessantly during a routine visit, so they checked it out and found a foxtail seed lodged in her skin that could have caused serious health problems later on. Another time, she gave our other dog an extra X-ray without charge to be sure about a diagnosis. And the list goes on! We really appreciate how the staff are so kind and understanding about our anxious girl and her special needs coming into the office. Thank you!

The absolute best vet. Dr. Boyer and the team are always extremely attentive, kind, and thorough in every interaction. Ever since Dr. Boyer sat us down to honestly discuss our options once we discovered our cat had diabetes two years ago, we knew we had found a special place because of how fully transparent she was with us about costs and lifestyle changes. They serve so many families and yet the team always manages to maintain an intimate relationship with everyone. You and your pets are safe here - I wouldn't take our little buddy anywhere else.
