This review is long overdue, and for that I apologize. My dogs and I have been going to Family Pet for many years, and frankly they put up with a lot from me given my tendency to adopt older dogs. Two of those dogs required pretty uncommon and gnarly surgeries (one young, one older); each time, Dr. Duster would chew on and sometimes invent a procedure, then honestly assess the risks with me.

I do not want a vet to tell me what to do (okay, well sometimes I do but only when overwhelmed and in the moment); they are no more gods than physicians. I want my vet to have exceptional skills, the diligence to do research when necessary, the honesty to admit what they don't know, intelligence, compassion, humor, and warmth.
