Excellent, couldn't get any resolve from Calera Animal for my dog's itching and scratching. Dr. Hubbard suggested giving her a shot to see if she stops itching until the shot wears off, if she starts back itching, to bring her back. This is to help determine what is causing the issue. It's been two weeks now and her itching has came back. Making an appointment and will post outcome, so far, the best vet in this area and I feel that my first visit was very reasonably priced.

Everyone there is so friendly, helpful, efficient and kind. Clearly they love the animals they care for. We originally went to them last month when our beloved elderly cat was at the end of her life. They took care of her with love and dignity. Since then we've taken both of our black-and-white cats to see them. We even came on the wrong day, and they were so nice about it!
