Dental care is vital to the overall health of any animal. Dental disease leads to health issues with the heart, liver, and kidneys, and can affect the entire body through the bloodstream. In fact, 80 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats over three years of age suffer from some form of dental disease, making it the most common pet health issue among our pet population.

This vet hospital is very friendly and caring. They were very understanding and apathetic when I had to make the hardest choice of my life and put my best friend down after 9 years. After I had to put her down, I received this sweet gift and card in the mail of my baby's footprint. I highly recommend them and they are worth the wait. All vets are very packed and they try to squeeze you in for emergencies.

I had an appointment to get our newly rescued-off-the-street ginger-tom, named Morris, of course, a checkup, shots, and neutering. The doctor listened to his lungs at check-in and determined something was off. They advised me to hold off on the neutering and provided prescription antibiotics and rescheduled for 10 days later for a follow-up and hopefully lungs will be clear so we can get his procedure done along with vaccinations. They are very efficient and friendly and the doctor was very nice as well. I like the older building they are in too. It has character and shows that they have been around

Horrible. My old dog (15 years) was brought in with sudden inability to use his hind legs and poor balance. The vet told my hubby they had no idea but he needed to leave him for 3-4 days but they suggested putting him down. They were going to charge approximately $1500 on the cheap side. Said he would need a feeding tube even though he was eating/drinking. When hubby told them he was taking him home they threatened to call animal control then denied when questioned. It's been a week and we put my dog on antibiotics for inner ear infection. It's more than likely a vistublar issue (vertigo). He is
