I've had two dogs at this practice and they are super. When my dogs are sick they say bring them right in. They are great with the dogs, my beagle loves everyone there. My dog had tummy trouble and needed medicine and it was much less for the exam
and medicine than I expected I can't recommend them enough

My family and I have used Countryside for all 5 of our huskies for over 10 years now and wouldn't take them anywhere else. Thanks to Julie at Countryside we were able to get both of my roommates dogs in for a visit on very short notice. This allowed us to move forward in our adoption process of their new brother most likely saving his life. We truly owe this place for all they have done for us.

Countryside vet is the only place I will go with our animals...I wish they took care of my kids too :) Dr. Heath Thumel is our favorite he is the most kind, patient, honest, and down to earth professional doctor we have worked with (and I have had dogs by my side for over 30 years!). While all of the providers at Countryside are wonderful, I do always request Dr. Heath Thumel. When our 12.5 yr old Ridgeback past away this past December, Dr. Thumel made a very sad and difficult process better. He not only cared for our pup as if she was his own, but he cared for my family as we struggled with decisions

I absolutely love Countryside. I will recommend them over and over again. Last year in June I had a pup that nearly died because 3 other vets didn't take me seriously about he couldn't eat. I made an appointment with Dr. Soverns and she was extremely understanding and determined to figure out what was wrong. It turned out to be Right Persistent Aortic Arch. Something that is relatively rare and she had never even dealt with. She contact the Dr who could do surgery and save my pup. Now a year later he is alive after a very long recovery and trial and error to gain weight. I could not have done it

I have been looking for a permanent Dr for my lionhead albino bunny and I found two! Dr Heath Thumel is great he knows how important my son is to me and always stays in touch for updates every time Bilbo(bunny) visits the clinic. As well as Dr. Young when Dr. Thumel wasn’t available I was a little hesitant but did not regret it after speaking with Dr. Young! This clinic has all the qualities I added above including front desk and the vet assistants.
I’m glad I found a vet clinic to take my son and feel that he is being taken care of.

We got our 'pandemic pup' last April and Countryside was recommended to us by several friends and neighbors. It has been a year and believe it or not we have not been inside the clinic as yet due to the social distancing precautions. We are very grateful for such care for not only our dog but for us humans as well. The process is very thorough as you check in through text, you hand over your pet to a loving technician who promptly calls you. Your pet is then examined and the Vet calls you to discuss the issues further. You then get a check out call to come pick up your baby and any items you've

The staff and doctors at Countryside provide exceptional care and compassion. My pandemic rescue dog has unfortunately had quite a few challenging medical issues which has lead to multiple visits. Dr. Julie Thumel typically treats our dog and she does an amazing job. However, we also had to see other doctors at the practice for urgent issues and they all have been equally amazing. Each doctor takes the time to actually listen to what you have to say about your pet's symptoms to better understand what's going on. They never make you feel like your questions are a burden. I hope I never have to move
