Today, I took my 3 cats here and the vet was so nice and explained everything to me. I felt very informed with what was happening and I really appreciate that in a provider for my animals. Thank you so much!

I take my puppy, Axel, & my cat, Leroy here. They were great with both. My cat got rabies shots and they even combed out all his mats for him. So nice and caring. My puppy been going since he was 6 weeks old, he's 11 weeks now. They are amazing with him. So gentle. They taught me to clip my animals nails myself as well. Their pawprint app is great with uploading all my furr babies documents& records.

We was going to this vet for a few years and was the only vet we had been to so we thought it was a normal clinic. DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE! We had blood work and an x ray for our dog because he had an upset stomach. $440 later all they said was he was dehydrated. I knew there was a bigger issue so we went to Tri State Animal Clinic in Louisa. They looked at the same blood results and x rays and was immediately concerned. They didnt even charge us for our first visit because of the negligence we received at Academy. Academy also said that our dog was able to have pork and other processed foods

My dog was in horrific dog fight and the other dogs viciously killed my poor Harley. The vet was very kind in telling me the prognosis. But because of not being able to find his certification of rabies vacconation, this faculty kept trying to make me believe they had to cut my dog's head off for testing. And that is exactly the terminology used. The overweight male vet tech kept telling me the health dept informed him they had to take the dog's head when that was untrue. When I confronted him about lying , he admitted, "Well, yes, we cannot force you to get his head tested but it is recommended

A great veterinarian office! <3 The people working at this vet clinic are very friendly and personable. They have been great with all of our cats! A couple years ago when one of our cats was suffering from kidney failure, they did everything they possibly could to save him, and when we had no further options to save him they made sure that he was as comfortable as possible in his last minutes. They were gentle when he had to be put to sleep (he was put him out of his tremendous misery and pain in a loving environment). <3
They even sent a condolences card in the mail, which was very thoughtful
