When we started looking for a local veterinarian for our new Poodle, Apaw was recommended to us. Our first visit was very pleasant. We signed up for the puppy plan is I would recommend! It would save so much money.

The vets are so informative and are very patient with our questions. I completely feel like I can trust them with our puppy.

I love the welcome sign that list the animals visiting that day!! Makes it a little more personal. They also do boarding!

If you are looking for a veterinarian, APAW is a good choice

Dr Johnson is the best. They take great care of our 4 Shih Tzus. We have been going to APAW for 19 years and wouldn’t take our girls anywhere else.

Dr. Boyce is the absolute best veterinarian I've ever encountered. She's so caring and efficient with every single animal she treats. I've been a dedicated patient since 2004. I took my first Rottie Richie Rich there from the age of 8 weeks until we regretfully had to put him down due to cancer at the age of 12. (long life for a rottie). The whole time we were patients she was his only vet. She was so caring and he loved her. But it was when I made that final appointment that I saw how dedicated and caring she actually was. She took the necessary time to explain to me what was going
