It was easy to make an appointment with Collins hospital for animals. They followed COVID-19 procedures ensuring safety for both themselves and us, as well as our pet. They came out and got our pet and called us when they were almost done. Then they had us watching how they trim our pets nails, which is really helpful going forward. Watching them with our pet made us feel like he was in good hands. They were gentle and kind with our pet, which put us at ease. This is definitely a prime place to take an animal to the veterinarian! I highly recommend.

5 stars ⭐️ for the professionalism and pet care received from Dr. Fisher (will be returning)
1 star ⭐️ for the absolute lack of professionalism, attention to detail and service received from Nikki, the support staff. I had 4 interactions due to misspelled names and emails, misplaced records, mix up with another customer and poor handling of my pet (she took the carrier and held it out of balance, resulting in my cat’s head almost hitting a ground). The travel certificate I ordered had wrong name on it (after I corrected all the records as per above 4 issues). Did

I feel fortunate that someone of Dr. Cabaniss's caliber--and who understands birds--is only a mile away! She has discovered some things, like high sugar in the urates of one of my parakeets, that other vets missed. Dr. Cabaniss is thorough, knowledgeable, and kind. I never feel rushed in the follow up calls after a drop off. Her team is is helpful, efficient, and courteous about scheduling appointments and getting the doctor's answers to questions they can't answer.

I had my first visit today where a technician trimmed my hamsters' nails and gave me more info about future visits. Everyone was really nice and welcoming!
