I took my baby boy Jack to Craig Road Animal Hospital yesterday, to update his vaccines, and a couple of other maintenance things.I chose this vet initially because I THOUGHT they were super close to me. In truth, my sense of direction and distance is not to be trusted...they're about 7 minutes farther away than I had thought they were. Distance aside, I'm glad I brought Jack here, and even though he absolutely HATES going for rides in the car, I will most definitely bring him, and his sister Phedra, back. I messaged them here on Yelp first, and they replied pretty quickly with answers to my questions. I was able to set up the appointment for my boy online, within about 5 minutes. The location is actually pretty large. Much bigger than I thought it was going to be. Its clean. It doesn't smell like animals or animal waste...and we all know that dogs like to pee on everything, so I was pretty happy that it smelled clean. We checked in, and I filled out paperwork. All of the girls at the front were nice. Apparently they offer tours of the facility...I opted to not take one this time, as Jack is a little anxious. Next time, I will definitely take advantage. Once we were in a room, a vet tech, Chelsea? I think (I'm so bad with names), came in and asked a couple of questions and said hello to my boy, and then took him in the back for his check up, anal gland expression (gross), nail trim, and vaccines. Dr. Silver came in while they were still working with my poor boy's butt. She was very kind, even when kind of scolding me for letting the anal glands go so long without being expressed. Believe me, I already felt like a bad mom, but she wasn't rude or condescending at all: simply stated that she recommends bringing him in more frequently, which we definitely will be doing now that we're settled. She answered all of my questions, and gave me some great information about looking into Jack's anxiety behaviors and issues. They had a tech come into the room to check me out and take payment, which was super convenient. All in all, this was a great visit. Thank you, Craig Rd, for treating my boy so well. We'll see you soon for our other dog's vaccines! Read Less
