When you get to the building you have to sit in the car. Call the number of the location. They will walk you through the process of paperwork and they will take care of your pet. They are very warm and loving to your little loved one.

Super friendly place, very helpful and quick. Only downside is that they are currently understaffed due to covid, so there was a little bit of a wait, but not horrible

We brought my 8 month old kitten in for his initial check up and again after an emergency and I was so impressed with the staff that I decided to bring my old girl in whom I'm extremely protective of. They addressed all of my concerns and took excellent care of my baby. I'm never going back to my old vet. We recieved much much better care here and it's so relieving knowing my vet actually cares about my kitties instead of treating my cats like they're less important than dogs.Thanks to everyone at Faithful Friends

Dr. P and all of the staff have been so great for us and our furry kids. They were all so compassionate when we went through the passing of our first dog. Dr. P spent so much time with us when we were finally ready to get another dog. He went through all of our crazy puppy parent questions and made breed specific suggestions to us and we really appreciated his input and honesty. All of the staff are helpful and kind, a really great place for care for us and our puppy.

I originally found Faithful Friends when we were very new to the area. It was late on a Friday afternoon when my dog was injured and no other vet clinics had any availability to see him. Faithful Friends went the extra mile that afternoon to see my dog and take exceptional care of him. That was several years ago and our dog has since passed away, but we have a new puppy now and I wouldn’t consider taking him anywhere else.

I absolutely love this vet. Dr. Puryear put in so much effort to help figure out what was going on with my pup's stomach, and is always willing to give me advice based on what he would do for his own dog, what is most cost effective, what is going to be easiest for my lifestyle, but most of all what is best for my pet. Dr. Carr has also been exceptional, friendly and empathetic!

I’ve used Faithful Friends for many years, they’ve always lead me in the right direction with my dogs. I originally started to go to them because of the great care they took of my brothers dog when the dog was diagnosed with cancer. They have always treated us and the dogs like family. We trust them 100%.
They won’t overcharge or try to sell you. They say what it is and they make sure they diagnose not just treat symptoms.

Reign was mistreated and misdiagnosed by his former vet and Powers Pet ER. I was desperate to find someone who could help me to figure out what was wrong with my very ill service dog. Dr. Pruyear told me he gets many complaints about Powers Pet ER, and listened to what I told him about Reign's symptoms and what all had been done. Looked at the xrays, didn't see a blockage, and put Reign on 4 meds for 2 weeks. Aug. 30 we went back, and Reign is well on his way to being himself. No surgery needed, and so much more reasonable than our original vet, who seemed to be in it for the money only, and much
