Imagine what your mouth would feel like if you never brushed your teeth or went to the dentist. For many dogs and cats, this is a painful reality. According to the American Veterinary Dental Society, more than 80% of dogs and 70% of cats have dental disease by the age of 3. Dental (or periodontal) disease is the most frequently diagnosed health problem in pets.

Pretty sad that this is the only vet in the state that doesn’t check for a microchip when people say the dog was abandoned. And I know for a fact the contact information is made available to the vets to contact the proper owner. I wouldn’t send your pets here. This vet will help people steal animals from their rightful owners.

Goodfriends vet, Dr. Dinwoodie and staff, are caring and very responsive . I bring all my animals there and have had many emergencies and when I call them, whether getting ready to close or not open yet, they said come down now we will see you. And I am so grateful for them and their kindness. I highly recommend Goodfriends .

We took our dogs here for vaccinations. It cost ~$300 a piece. I’m used to much cheaper prices. Maybe it’s the state average? The service and staff were kind and considerate however l just can’t afford to be overcharged for care.

They are professional and always make time. We like Dr. Campbell (new to Good Friends.) We trust them with "the boys." When we first started going to them several years ago, their prices were better than most; however, they're not as reasonably priced as they used to be... but we trust Good Friends.

A local police chief and friend of mine asked to bring in his puppy for the doctor to take a quick look at his bleeding ear close to closing time.
The doctor would not stay open 15 more minutes or even come to the phone to offer some advice.
That’s not the kind of vet I want taking care of my dog.

We have been taking our dogs here for years. Love the doctors, love the staff. We had used other Vets over the years before we found this group and I have to say they were not nearly as impressive.
