My dog injured her leg. Took her to see Dr Brancel. She sprained her leg. Dr. gave me some pills to keep the swelling down. Great Doctor, he kept my dog calm while he was looking at het.

We have been bringing our dogs to Dr John for 20 years and he and his staff have been very professional and yet very caring, too. These people really love the dogs that come to them for help

In one visit we received the best care for my little cat. We got all her shots and cleanings and everything scheduled. The staff was very friendly and kind. Will highly recommend and will be back when we need.

Prairie State did none of that. Lazy. It gets
