Friendly staff that really care about your pet. My dog is a bit scared when going to the vet. They take the time to make him comfortable with them and are sure to do a good exam.

South Town took especially good care of my dog taking extra measures due to special circumstances. I can't thank them enough for their treatment of our pet.

I absolutely love the veterinarian and staff at South Town. This is the opposite of how most vets feel- it feels like a family here. Everyone knew my name and my pups name within one visit, and they called and checked in on how his treatment was going 2x after our first visit. On our first visit as we were new patients, the vet spent almost 45 minutes really learning about my dog- service I have not received at my previous vet (though they were not terrible by any means). I look forward to bringing my cats here too when they are due for a visit- but am thrilled with the service and treatment my dog received. Prices were comparable to other vets in the area- but service was above! Read Less

I had a rough rough time putting a cat down who for years peed on everything I own. I made an appointment with another clinic last week who knew the details and scheduled and appointment only to turn me down when I went there. I was so devastated and it is too bad the other place made it harder. South Town understood my pain and dilemma and told me they would help me put down my cat. Again, a hard hard week and a looonnng drive there, but they were so wonderful and tolerated my falling apart. They let me be with him and he was purring before he went and I can feel good about that. Sometimes you can't take the wild out of an animal and they don't belong indoors as a pet, and I guess my cat was just being a cat, but because there were no alternatives for an old, spoiled, prince of an animal other than this, they helped make it a little easier to do such a difficult thing. Great people. Thank you so much. Read Less

When we first moved into the area, one of my dogs got bitten by a neighborhood dog at 5 PM on a Friday and needed immediate care. We didn't have a vet yet, and no one else would see us. Dr. Crittenden took care of him, and we have been going back ever since, for everything from routine vaccinations and wellness to surgeries--tumor removals, bladder stones, and dental surgery. Dr. Crittenden is very good about explaining different options, and always takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable with a decision. Everyone here cares about your pet! Visiting the office is always a pleasant experience.Read Less
