We recently moved and had to switch vets after about 6 years of seeing Dr. Duster. We’re happy with our new vet, but nothing will match the kindness of the staff at The Family Pet. Kendra at the front desk was always so welcoming and Larissa always went above and beyond to make our nervous pup feel safe. I know how hard the veterinary world can be and these people deserve all the praise in the world. You can tell their love for animals exceeds anything else. Seymour, Dweezil, and Moon Unit say THANK YOU for taking such good care of us and spoiling us with treats.
