I have been taking my dogs to the Jarrettsville Vet Center for over 10 years. I cannot say enough good things about... well, about everything. From the very first day we brought our poodle in, we have been treated like family. The receptionists who greet us, the technicians, the doctors...are all so capable and caring and knowledgeable. It is very clear that they all love animals and they all love taking care of them. We now have two miniature poodles. Both dogs have special needs. One has a myriad of health issues including epilepsy. The other is a cranky and elderly dog, with elderly dog health issues. I know when I bring my two boys into the clinic, that they are getting the very best care possible. I know that each and every person who works there has the animals' welfare as their highest priority. Through the years, my guys have had all kinds of medical emergencies. Major surgeries, epileptic seizures, hip dislocation, several large tumors surgically removed, allergies, skin infections, ear infections, colitis, dental extractions, collapsed trachea, being attacked by a large dog...a long list. They are alive and well...and happy...because of the Jarrettsville Vet Center.

Jarrettsville Veterinary Center turned what was already an upsetting and stressful situation, even worse. Yesterday evening my Yorkie, Boomer, decided to stray from our yard with his brother, Buster.... and Boomer got lost. After hours of driving around, giving out my cell to local neighbors and posting on Facebook about our lost dog, we finally got reassurance that our dog was found by someone and taken to Jarrettsville Vet Center. I immediately called, and they were closed. I left a message, with his name and his description, and let them know I would be there as soon as they opened. We were so relieved that he was found and not wondering around at night alone, scared and cold. My 3 daughters were so excited that he had been found and they stayed up last night to make a thank you card to give to the vet office. My problem is how I was treated upon arrival to pick up Boomer. I was not greeted when I walked in, so I greeted them and explained who I was and that I left a message and my yorkie's name is Boomer and he has a green collar... and I was stared at like I had 3 heads. She did not want to communicate that dog was there and she dryly said "let me check". She turned and walked to the back. Rude. Then another lady chimed in and said "you have ID?". Oh, Stupid me! I guess I am naive, and didn't think that other person would actually show up to claim MY dog. It's not like this happens everyday, and I should know the protocol. The manager came out and explained that they had to identify us as the pet owner. Ok, I understand but I don't have papers on hand , I would have to go dig for it because everything is in boxes because we are moving. I then asked if we could just call our vet office for the records. I told her that it had been a while since they were there. She said yes, they would call. She called, then came back and said they verified our records, but they haven't been seen for a while, so we will have to call animal control so they can verify ownership. I asked how will they do that with the same records that you have? She replied " I don't know". This whole time I am left feeling like everyone thinks I am some crazy person just showing up at 8am to claim someone else's dog. I UNDERSTAND that you have a policy... but did you have to treat me like My family didn't matter or this wasn't already a delicate situation, maybe show some compassion? They said the reason they would call our vet clinic was because they would have our information and the description of the dog. You got that from my vet, but because we hadn't been there in 4 years, apparently that was a problem? Animal control showed up and talked to them. Then came and asked me about the situation. I told her that they verified with my vet but that we hadn't been there in a while so that was a problem. Animal control said "ok, let me see what they (Jarrettsville vet) wants to do, either release him or I will have to transport him to humane society and you will have to pick him up there." Jarrettsville Vet chose to have animal control transport Boomer to the humane society, which didn't open for another 3 hours (meanwhile I have 3 anxious children that can't wait to see their dog). We went to the humane society when it opened, they called our vet, verified our records and gave us our Boomer back! My husband left a google review and the owner said that we should have had correct documentation and updated records, or this wouldn't have happened. Or that we should be grateful they took care of him and didn't charge us... well, had your staff not been so rude and upsetting, you would have had an adorable hand made thank you card from my kids to display on your wall. Had you treated me with a little respect and compassion, you would have gotten a sincere thank you from me as well. I'm sure we're judged as bad pet owners or something because our dog got away and that we didn't have update vet records, because that's exactly how they acted. We surely will make a vet visit, as time got away from me. People should also go the dentist once every six months, but a lot of people don't and then are surprised when 6 months turns into 2-3 years. Oh yes, it happens! But hey, who's judging? Not me! As a dental practice manager- let's just figure out what we can do to help get you back on track! Then educate on the importance, not shame the person. That's caring customer service. I also, as a manager, I would never leave the premises while a situation such as this was occurring like the manager of this place did. Or would NEVER call the police because an upset husband called iterate because his family can't get their dog back, and lie to say he is threatening. He said he would call a lawyer... really people? Anyway, thankfully it is all over now and we have our Boomer back! He is happy too to be back with his brother and family, and looking forward to eating some of his homemade treats being made for him right now!

My mother brought my cat here for an emergency checkup that unfortunately ended in my cat having to be put down. I was at work and they allowed my mother to use their phone and call me as well as waiting until I got there to put her to sleep. I don't remember the veterinarian's name unfortunately but she was very respectful and very consoling. They even allowed us to use the staff door, when leaving for privacy, as I was a complete mess. I'm definitely taking all my animals here from now on.

The owner, Krista Magnifico, along with the other vets that work there are the BEST! They care deeply about their clients which include our furry friends. I cannot say enough good things about them except to say that the veterinary world needs more vets like Dr. Magnifico. A special recognition to Dr. Morgan who has been there with me through tough times with several of my pets. She was unfortunately the one that had to deliver the bad news but always does so in a kind and gentle way. When it was time to let them go I looked to Dr. Magnifico to help me help them to cross the Rainbow Bridge in a peaceful manner. On a positive note everyone is like one big happy family. Cindy is also very kind and willing to listen when I am rambling. i could go on and on about each person that works there so lets just say they ALL ARE GREAT.

Dr. Magnifico is an Angel. Our family cat had been having problems and was having difficulty breathing. My wife called our local Vet and they couldn't see Dillon. They also were not very sympathetic. We called Jarrettsville Vet and they said that we could bring Dillon in after Dr. Mag finished Surgery. As soon as we entered the office. The staff was fantastic. They immediately put my wife and teenage son at ease. Once in the treatment room, Dr. Mag gave us all of our options. As a family, we made the decision to alleviate 15 year old Dillon's suffering. The amount of compassion and care through Dillon's passing displayed by Dr. Mag and Brittany was commendable. Thank you Jarrettsville Vet.

My relationship with JVC began in 2014 when I started fostering for a local rescue and they were the practice the rescue used. Many of the dogs I have fostered have been ill and have required ongoing treatment, over time I built a relationship with the staff. Ultimately I left a practice I had been a client at for 14 years and decided to make the switch brining my own pets to JVC as well. I always have known that my pets are in the very best of hands and both our pets and our family have been treated with compassion. JVC has seen us through from new puppy/kitten care to the end of the journey with senior pets and terminally ill pets. Almost a year ago I joined their team on the other side of the counter have been honored to be part of such a kind, caring, compassionate group of people.

Between 6-8 hours for responses or return phone calls. Took two days to get pain meds filled for a dying dog because "we forgot you called to fill them". We almost had to amputate our other dogs leg when they wrapped a splint too tight and gave him gangrene. Hours are good but not worth it. They obviously don't care based on past experience. Update: 5/6/17 we were denied an application to rescue a dog because they gave misinformation to a rescue shelter.

The folks who work at Jarrettsville Vet Center are the kindest and most caring. I am so very fortunate that I found them over two years ago when I first moved to PA. I entrust my Girls with them weekly for doggie day care. Dr. Graf is amazing! All of the staff have gotten to know my Girls and report to the vets when something seems off with one of them. Once they are checked out and an issue is determined, I immediately get a phone call telling me what their concern is and asking what actions I would like to take. I will stay with them as long as I live in the area!

Thank you for not declawing cats! Any veterinarian who does not perform barbaric outdated unnecessary p3 toe amputations on cats is tops in my book. I take my cats and dogs to a veterinarian who does not declaw cats, even if I have to travel an extra 20 minutes, it is worth it, they don't cry and whine in the car anymore like they used to when we used our ex-vet. Animals are sentient beings, not property for humans to mutilate. No wonder they used to cry on the way to our ex-vet, they were wondering if any of their body parts were going to get amputated.

I love JVC! They are by far the best veterinary practice in Harford County!!! I have three dogs that are all rescues; each with their own issues. Dr. Magnifico treats my dogs like they are Westminster Dog Show winners. She attends to each one with their special needs with love, care, and kindness. TRUE STORY: One of my fur babies, Pepper, had to get stitiches the day before the blizzard; during the night Pepper pulled the stitiches out. When I called JVC, Dr. Morgan was still there. She was getting ready to leave before the snow got too deep. She told me that she would be willing to stay there until I got Pepper there which is a 45 minute drive. I didn't want her to wait on my behalf, so she gave my some instructions to help Pepper and she gave me her cell phone number. She said that if things got worse I could call her and send her pictures of Pepper's wound and she would help me to care for him during the blizzard. Truly remarkable!!!!! Dr. Mags is our regular vet at JVC. I have never trusted anyone with my dogs like I trust Dr. Mags! She always has their best interests at heart!!!! Dr. Mags is an incredible vet and an amazing person!! I think the world of JVC and the way that they treat my fur babies. They truly care about my babies and that means the world to me!!!! I highly recommend JVC, give them a try and you will see for yourself the amazing vet skills and love that your loved one will receive! <3

There aren't enough words in the world to express my love for this clinic! Especially Dr. Magnifico. She and her staff have always gone above and beyond for our family. We have been coming to jarrettsville vet center since 2005. We had a special jack Russell terrier with lots of health issues and now have an equally as unique chihuahua. And over the years we have moved further and further away from the clinic. We are currently a little over an hour from JVC and it was never a consideration to switch vets. We get the best care in the world and wouldn't EVER go anywhere else. Thanks for making us feel like family and not just a number!! :)

I cannot say enough good things about JVC!! They were life savers for us when we had a cat with some serious urinary issues. Every other vet wanted to do a major surgery, but when i called here they actually wanted to do everything they could before doing something so serious. Dr. Graf was so educational and caring at a vulnerable time for us, and continues to be as we maintain Oren's health and prevent any future flare ups. The whole staff is so nice and so willing to help. We drive an hour to get here because we don't trust anyone else with our babies and it is more than worth the drive. We'll do anything to keep our babies happy and healthy and you can tell everyone at JVC will too. Oren says thank you!

Overall-- not worth it. Too many bad experiences not outweighed by good ones. Top 4 bad: 1) had to literally pull my dog away from one of their groomers as I saw her being too rough with her; 2) questionable vet competency as evidenced by complete misdiagnosis of kidney failure. the vet gave her ~ 6 mos to a year to live and she's still with us 3 yrs later (lots of unnecessary tears and we added another dog to the house thinking she would no longer be with us); 3) more evidence of questionable vet competency - they 'prescribed' this medicine for the dogs' kidney failure at ~ $50 month. After one year of taking it, I asked about any research to support its use only to be told that there wasn't really any research because it was really only a supplement, not an actual medication. $600 in their pocket for a supplement with no research efficacy other than the vet saying that she "thinks it works"????? And finally, 4) "I'm not just sitting around here twiddling my thumbs." Yep- that's a quote from one of the vets. One of our dogs had staples put in and they fell out in the late afternoon. Concerned, I called and the secretary said that vet on duty would call me back in the evening. Not hearing anything all night, I took my dog there that next morning, saw the same vet who was supposed to call, and when I asked about why she didn't call- that's what she said. Not sure which vet school she went to but I would think that they would cover that in a class (customer service 101). So, we've definitely switched.

JVC is full of kind, warm and compassionate people that truly care about animals of all shapes and sizes. Their prices are competitive if not cheaper than other vets I have visited. We have taken our dogs here for years and have had the pleasure of seeing several of the doctors and have spoken to all of the staff. We have experienced happy checkups, illnesses with our dogs, surgeries and even a bout with cancer. With the recent loss of one of our dogs, I cannot make a higher recommendation for these folks. From the beginning of diagnosis to the end of the pain, we could not have had a better experience with the doctors and staff. They loved my cancer-stricken puppy more than me if that's even possible! They even handled the cremation and billing with the utmost professional behavior and most importantly, LOVE. Thanks to all of them I will continue taking my pets there forever. CD

Jarrettsville Veterinary Center turned what was already an upsetting and stressful situation, even worse. Yesterday evening my Yorkie, Boomer, decided to stray from our yard with his brother, Buster.... and Boomer got lost. After hours of driving around, giving out my cell to local neighbors and posting on Facebook about our lost dog, we finally got reassurance that our dog was found by someone and taken to Jarrettsville Vet Center. I immediately called, and they were closed. I left a message, with his name and his description, and let them know I would be there as soon as they opened. We were so relieved that he was found and not wondering around at night alone, scared and cold. My 3 daughters were so excited that he had been found and they stayed up last night to make a thank you card to give to the vet office. My problem is how I was treated upon arrival to pick up Boomer. I was not greeted when I walked in, so I greeted them and explained who I was and that I left a message and my yorkie's name is Boomer and he has a green collar... and I was stared at like I had 3 heads. She did not want to communicate that dog was there and she dryly said "let me check". She turned and walked to the back. Rude. Then another lady chimed in and said "you have ID?". Oh, Stupid me! I guess I am naive, and didn't think that other person would actually show up to claim MY dog. It's not like this happens everyday, and I should know the protocol. The manager came out and explained that they had to identify us as the pet owner. Ok, I understand but I don't have papers on hand , I would have to go dig for it because everything is in boxes because we are moving. I then asked if we could just call our vet office for the records. I told her that it had been a while since they were there. She said yes, they would call. She called, then came back and said they verified our records, but they haven't been seen for a while, so we will have to call animal control so they can verify ownership. I asked how will they do that with the same records that you have? She replied " I don't know". This whole time I am left feeling like everyone thinks I am some crazy person just showing up at 8am to claim someone else's dog. I UNDERSTAND that you have a policy... but did you have to treat me like My family didn't matter or this wasn't already a delicate situation, maybe show some compassion? They said the reason they would call our vet clinic was because they would have our information and the description of the dog. You got that from my vet, but because we hadn't been there in 4 years, apparently that was a problem? Animal control showed up and talked to them. Then came and asked me about the situation. I told her that they verified with my vet but that we hadn't been there in a while so that was a problem. Animal control said "ok, let me see what they (Jarrettsville vet) wants to do, either release him or I will have to transport him to humane society and you will have to pick him up there." Jarrettsville Vet chose to have animal control transport Boomer to the humane society, which didn't open for another 3 hours (meanwhile I have 3 anxious children that can't wait to see their dog). We went to the humane society when it opened, they called our vet, verified our records and gave us our Boomer back! My husband left a google review and the owner said that we should have had correct documentation and updated records, or this wouldn't have happened. Or that we should be grateful they took care of him and didn't charge us... well, had your staff not been so rude and upsetting, you would have had an adorable hand made thank you card from my kids to display on your wall. Had you treated me with a little respect and compassion, you would have gotten a sincere thank you from me as well. I'm sure we're judged as bad pet owners or something because our dog got away and that we didn't have update vet records, because that's exactly how they acted. We surely will make a vet visit, as time got away from me. People should also go the dentist once every six months, but a lot of people don't and then are surprised when 6 months turns into 2-3 years. Oh yes, it happens! But hey, who's judging? Not me! As a dental practice manager- let's just figure out what we can do to help get you back on track! Then educate on the importance, not shame the person. That's caring customer service. I also, as a manager, I would never leave the premises while a situation such as this was occurring like the manager of this place did. Or would NEVER call the police because an upset husband called iterate because his family can't get their dog back, and lie to say he is threatening. He said he would call a lawyer... really people? Anyway, thankfully it is all over now and we have our Boomer back! He is happy too to be back with his brother and family, and looking forward to eating some of his homemade treats being made for him right now!

My mother brought my cat here for an emergency checkup that unfortunately ended in my cat having to be put down. I was at work and they allowed my mother to use their phone and call me as well as waiting until I got there to put her to sleep. I don't remember the veterinarian's name unfortunately but she was very respectful and very consoling. They even allowed us to use the staff door, when leaving for privacy, as I was a complete mess. I'm definitely taking all my animals here from now on.

Rasist place. All Caucasian employees and didn't take the chance to hire me .. a Hispanic employee. Trained me 20 hours and said I didn't have enough experience. I think there is a bigger issue here.

The owner, Krista Magnifico, along with the other vets that work there are the BEST! They care deeply about their clients which include our furry friends. I cannot say enough good things about them except to say that the veterinary world needs more vets like Dr. Magnifico. A special recognition to Dr. Morgan who has been there with me through tough times with several of my pets. She was unfortunately the one that had to deliver the bad news but always does so in a kind and gentle way. When it was time to let them go I looked to Dr. Magnifico to help me help them to cross the Rainbow Bridge in a peaceful manner. On a positive note everyone is like one big happy family. Cindy is also very kind and willing to listen when I am rambling. i could go on and on about each person that works there so lets just say they ALL ARE GREAT.

Dr. Magnifico is an Angel. Our family cat had been having problems and was having difficulty breathing. My wife called our local Vet and they couldn't see Dillon. They also were not very sympathetic. We called Jarrettsville Vet and they said that we could bring Dillon in after Dr. Mag finished Surgery. As soon as we entered the office. The staff was fantastic. They immediately put my wife and teenage son at ease. Once in the treatment room, Dr. Mag gave us all of our options. As a family, we made the decision to alleviate 15 year old Dillon's suffering. The amount of compassion and care through Dillon's passing displayed by Dr. Mag and Brittany was commendable. Thank you Jarrettsville Vet.

I've boarded my 2 German Shepherds four times there. They always come home happy, clean, and well taken care of. They take great care of my furry children. My pups aren't the most friendly to strangers, but Dr. Morgan is the best and makes them feel at ease. Kudos to the kennel staff and vets for accommodating my dogs and taking great care of them.

It's pretty easy to get an appointment, they are open 7 days a week. They also have grooming and boarding on site. It seems like a popular place and the Vets are all very caring and kind

My relationship with JVC began in 2014 when I started fostering for a local rescue and they were the practice the rescue used. Many of the dogs I have fostered have been ill and have required ongoing treatment, over time I built a relationship with the staff. Ultimately I left a practice I had been a client at for 14 years and decided to make the switch brining my own pets to JVC as well. I always have known that my pets are in the very best of hands and both our pets and our family have been treated with compassion. JVC has seen us through from new puppy/kitten care to the end of the journey with senior pets and terminally ill pets. Almost a year ago I joined their team on the other side of the counter have been honored to be part of such a kind, caring, compassionate group of people.

Between 6-8 hours for responses or return phone calls. Took two days to get pain meds filled for a dying dog because "we forgot you called to fill them". We almost had to amputate our other dogs leg when they wrapped a splint too tight and gave him gangrene. Hours are good but not worth it. They obviously don't care based on past experience. Update: 5/6/17 we were denied an application to rescue a dog because they gave misinformation to a rescue shelter.

The folks who work at Jarrettsville Vet Center are the kindest and most caring. I am so very fortunate that I found them over two years ago when I first moved to PA. I entrust my Girls with them weekly for doggie day care. Dr. Graf is amazing! All of the staff have gotten to know my Girls and report to the vets when something seems off with one of them. Once they are checked out and an issue is determined, I immediately get a phone call telling me what their concern is and asking what actions I would like to take. I will stay with them as long as I live in the area!

These folks really go above and beyond. I'm so lucky to know them. Dr Magnifico and her staff work with my rescue to help animals that are desperate. They are both realistic and compassionate in their approach to healing, and honest about what the outcome may be. The entire staff is supportive, kind, and are completely dedicated to helping animals thrive. I cannot recommend this practice enough.

The whole staff at Jarrettsville Vet Center is caring towards the animals and also towards the pet owners. The vets truly care about the well-being of the animals and go beyond their way to help them. Dr. Magnifico rocks. She is the most loving and precious soul. I drive over an hour to take my dogs to be seen by Dr. Magnifico and wouldn't have it any other way. It is worth the drive knowing she is always looking out for the best interest of the pet, but also always shares her honest opinion and recommendation. You will only deal with the most trustworthy and caring team at Jarrettsville Vet Center!

Thank you for not declawing cats! Any veterinarian who does not perform barbaric outdated unnecessary p3 toe amputations on cats is tops in my book. I take my cats and dogs to a veterinarian who does not declaw cats, even if I have to travel an extra 20 minutes, it is worth it, they don't cry and whine in the car anymore like they used to when we used our ex-vet. Animals are sentient beings, not property for humans to mutilate. No wonder they used to cry on the way to our ex-vet, they were wondering if any of their body parts were going to get amputated.

I love JVC! They are by far the best veterinary practice in Harford County!!! I have three dogs that are all rescues; each with their own issues. Dr. Magnifico treats my dogs like they are Westminster Dog Show winners. She attends to each one with their special needs with love, care, and kindness. TRUE STORY: One of my fur babies, Pepper, had to get stitiches the day before the blizzard; during the night Pepper pulled the stitiches out. When I called JVC, Dr. Morgan was still there. She was getting ready to leave before the snow got too deep. She told me that she would be willing to stay there until I got Pepper there which is a 45 minute drive. I didn't want her to wait on my behalf, so she gave my some instructions to help Pepper and she gave me her cell phone number. She said that if things got worse I could call her and send her pictures of Pepper's wound and she would help me to care for him during the blizzard. Truly remarkable!!!!! Dr. Mags is our regular vet at JVC. I have never trusted anyone with my dogs like I trust Dr. Mags! She always has their best interests at heart!!!! Dr. Mags is an incredible vet and an amazing person!! I think the world of JVC and the way that they treat my fur babies. They truly care about my babies and that means the world to me!!!! I highly recommend JVC, give them a try and you will see for yourself the amazing vet skills and love that your loved one will receive! <3

There aren't enough words in the world to express my love for this clinic! Especially Dr. Magnifico. She and her staff have always gone above and beyond for our family. We have been coming to jarrettsville vet center since 2005. We had a special jack Russell terrier with lots of health issues and now have an equally as unique chihuahua. And over the years we have moved further and further away from the clinic. We are currently a little over an hour from JVC and it was never a consideration to switch vets. We get the best care in the world and wouldn't EVER go anywhere else. Thanks for making us feel like family and not just a number!! :)

I cannot thank Jarretsville Vet Center enough for how well they treat my pup! I have only had him for 7 months now, and throughout these 7 months of taking him to JVC the staff has treated him so great! They are always so sweet to him, and take the best care of him, especially when I took him in for his second surgery. I would recommend this vet to anyone! I thank all of the staff here for taking such great care of our "baby".

I cannot say enough good things about JVC!! They were life savers for us when we had a cat with some serious urinary issues. Every other vet wanted to do a major surgery, but when i called here they actually wanted to do everything they could before doing something so serious. Dr. Graf was so educational and caring at a vulnerable time for us, and continues to be as we maintain Oren's health and prevent any future flare ups. The whole staff is so nice and so willing to help. We drive an hour to get here because we don't trust anyone else with our babies and it is more than worth the drive. We'll do anything to keep our babies happy and healthy and you can tell everyone at JVC will too. Oren says thank you!

Overall-- not worth it. Too many bad experiences not outweighed by good ones. Top 4 bad: 1) had to literally pull my dog away from one of their groomers as I saw her being too rough with her; 2) questionable vet competency as evidenced by complete misdiagnosis of kidney failure. the vet gave her ~ 6 mos to a year to live and she's still with us 3 yrs later (lots of unnecessary tears and we added another dog to the house thinking she would no longer be with us); 3) more evidence of questionable vet competency - they 'prescribed' this medicine for the dogs' kidney failure at ~ $50 month. After one year of taking it, I asked about any research to support its use only to be told that there wasn't really any research because it was really only a supplement, not an actual medication. $600 in their pocket for a supplement with no research efficacy other than the vet saying that she "thinks it works"????? And finally, 4) "I'm not just sitting around here twiddling my thumbs." Yep- that's a quote from one of the vets. One of our dogs had staples put in and they fell out in the late afternoon. Concerned, I called and the secretary said that vet on duty would call me back in the evening. Not hearing anything all night, I took my dog there that next morning, saw the same vet who was supposed to call, and when I asked about why she didn't call- that's what she said. Not sure which vet school she went to but I would think that they would cover that in a class (customer service 101). So, we've definitely switched.

We ABSOLUTELY love all of the people at Jarrettsville Vet Center!! Our little Ringo came to us from them when his angel, Amanda pleaded to save his life. Cindy was also a sweetheart to keep us optimistic when we lost him 2 years ago in a horrible snow storm for 3 1/2 weeks. I am not sure who was happier when he came back to us, the people at Jarrettsville Vet or us! Thanks to them for more than 25 years of caring service ! Love you all!

Dr. Morgan is the BEST. She is so kind and caring. She goes above and beyond to help figure out what's wrong with my furbabies. She's called the house asking how they are when they have been under the weather. The only negative thing I could say about the place is that sometimes it takes way too long to check out.

JVC is full of kind, warm and compassionate people that truly care about animals of all shapes and sizes. Their prices are competitive if not cheaper than other vets I have visited. We have taken our dogs here for years and have had the pleasure of seeing several of the doctors and have spoken to all of the staff. We have experienced happy checkups, illnesses with our dogs, surgeries and even a bout with cancer. With the recent loss of one of our dogs, I cannot make a higher recommendation for these folks. From the beginning of diagnosis to the end of the pain, we could not have had a better experience with the doctors and staff. They loved my cancer-stricken puppy more than me if that's even possible! They even handled the cremation and billing with the utmost professional behavior and most importantly, LOVE. Thanks to all of them I will continue taking my pets there forever. CD
