I just want to say how amazing everyone was! They kept me up to date on my girl’s surgery and recovery. Tanya and Kristina was so helpful and made me feel like she was in the best care and at the right place. I feel so lucky to have found them and we traveled over an hour just to go there. Thank you everyone for taking such good care of my sweet Millie, now she’s on the fast track to a speedy recovery! ❤️ We definitely will be telling everyone about this amazing vet and team!

South Central Veterinary Services have helped our family of pets for decades - the best combination of excellent care, focus on what is best for the animal, and consideration of the cost. Even when we were traveling and our dog needed emergency care they consulted via telephone to help us make the right decisions. AWESOME docs and staff!

Kessa was just one of 7 puppies in this litter that we rescued from a bad home environment. The veterinarians and staff at South Central Vet Clinic always provide Excellent Service! They are very knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring, patient, friendly, responsive and thorough. As a foster parent with rescue pups, we are in their office almost every week, and they never disappoint. They offer great quality service at affordable prices. And we never wait long to obtain an Appt or receive service. It is obvious these veterinarians and staff are in this business because they love animals and respect

I really liked them at first. However, when I had a pet pass away, I chose to cremate her and really wanted her back. They could not find her ashes and I called many times and tried for like a year and they did nothing to help me. They blew me off and tried to tell me I had to track her down with whatever place they sent her to. So, I never got my dog’s ashes. Who knows where she is. I’ve since moved all my pets to a different vet. Very sad.

I have been using this vet for many many years I would not take my animals anywhere else. I took my wolf/boxer mix to another vet when she was 19yrs old they said we should just put her down. I then went to Dr. walla a few days later and they were amazibg and showed more kindness than the other vet had.

Dr. Walla is the BEST. Was having problems with my pet and called the office more than willing to make the 2 hr. drive but Dr. Walla diagnosed my pets problem on the phone and called in a script which solved the problem very quick. Thanks to you and your staff for a service well done
