Services
At Four Paws Animal Clinic our focus is on preventive medicine to improve the quality and life span of your pet companion. Preventive medicine includes vaccinations, strategic deworming, flea and heart worm prevention, thorough examinations and laboratory screenings to maintain the health of your pet.
When you come for your first appointment, please bring your pet's medical records or records from the breeder for puppies/kittens. The staff will escort you to an exam room where the veterinarian and a technician will come in to exam your pet, answer your questions, and perform any diagnostic or preventive treatments needed.
Four Paws Animal Clinic offers a wide variety of prescription medications, as well as the latest veterinary products, including heartworm and flea prevention and veterinary diets. We think you will find our prices competitive, and you will know that the products are safe and recommended by our veterinarians.

I’ve been taking my cat here for about 5 years, and I’ve always been pleased with them. But I got a puppy a few months ago and was going quite often for shots. She has a lot of energy, and I was made to feel like an inadequate pet parent each time I came in. It was to the point where I was in tears at my last visit. I had mentioned putting her in doggy daycare for socialization, and one of the vets basically said “Absolutely not. She can’t be controlled.” By the way, she’s been to a dog park and doggy daycare and has done excellent.
To add insult to injury, on her third set of shots

I came in last week with an injured kitten that i found on the road, the staff was just so amazing! They rushed the poor thing in ,no questions asked and literally saved his life, i had brought in injured animals in the past to different vets and they all refuse to treat them without me paying everything up front and taking ownership , witch i cant always do... all they asked is for a donation so they can keep doing it.. im just so impressed with them that im moving my dog to their care!

My precious sick dog was left in a crate an entire day with no
Care. I called several times and was told the Dr had not had time to look at her. By the the time I insisted on picking her up I had to take her lethargic little body in my lap to an emergency vet whose only recourse was to end her life. I will never forgive Four Paws for keeping my baby away from me her last day.
They also refuse to see my other dog to prescribe her insulin because it was originally prescribed on an emergency basis elsewhere.. Four Paws started out as such a sweet humane clinic . Sadly they grew too big and lost

I’ve been coming here for 2 years and it used to be amazing. Dr. Moore and the staff used to be absolutely amazing, caring and did awesome work. They recently had a change of management and ever since they have been getting worse and worse. The front office staff is rude, they make you make an appointment but does not attend to your pet. They increased their price for travel health certificate from $50 to $180 but are not knowledged in health certificates for pet travel. They completely messed mine up and cost me a lot of money for something that they should’ve known if they are raising their

Four Paws takes wonderful care of my 16 y/o yorkie, Bean. Dr. Moore and staff are quick to respond when I have worries. They are so polite, accommodating and helpful. Bean just celebrated his sweet sixteen, and I thank Four Paws for helping my little man stay healthy. I saw a tremendous change in his health when we started going to Four Paws a few years ago. I love them and recommend them to all fur-parents.

I absolutely adore Four Paws. I love that it is women-owned and that Dr. Moore is fantastic when dealing with my very temperamental kitty, Grommet, and my sweeter Snap. When I have dropped one of my girls off for an appointment later in the day, the staff has been excellent at keeping me in the loop and asking before doing something like sedation.… I love, love the friendly office staff! They remember me even if I'm only in a few times a year, and always greet me and my girls with a smile! The other thing I love is that they communicate well with each other. One time I brought in Snap for

We are new to Four Paws animal clinic and Dr. Belton has been AMAZING! She really takes the time with your pet and is very thorough! She even took the time to email me information to answer some questions I had about our new pups. We will be switching our older dog to this vet as well! We were overall impressed with this vet!

The doctors at Four Paws are some of the best in the business. However, you are only as good as the people you hire. The front staff has got to be the best around. Even when they are busy as ever in the mornings, they make sure to acknowledge you are in the room when you walk in the door. They are also greeting the pets with a huge smile and rubs, of course. If you come in contact with Reception make sure you tell them they are doing great! We need more kindhearted people like them.

My first visit to this business. Dr. Belton was so kind and gentle with my older (scaredy) cat. She was thorough in her diagnosis, and Baby & I went home feeling much better. The whole staff — everything about the office — was exceptional. I just couldn’t have been more pleased with this experience. Six out of five stars!

I was very impressed by the amount of time and patience the receptionist at Four Paws had for myself and my cat Whiskers. Whiskers was a new patient and she took the time to talk me through her symptoms to get a better understanding of what was going wrong. Not only did I feel like she really cared about myself and my pet, but she was very kind even when I called back 3 times as a worried pet owner. I am on a budget and Four Paws was able to work with that budget and made recommendations that would work best for my situation. I am so thankful for their time and attentiveness and would recommend
