This review is for both the Fairlawn and Stow Locations, since they're so very similar and I've seen the same veterinarians at both locations.PPC is not a full service animal hospital, so I will not dock stars from my rating just because they're not full service.PPC is a low cost animal hospital for routine visits and non-serious illnesses. If you need a check-up, vaccines, or if your furry friend has a non-serious illness, I strongly recommend PPC. Visits here will cost about half of what they will elsewhere. They do not perform surgeries and I do not believe they have an X Ray machine. But they do perform spays and neuters, which are priced very competitively - I definitely recommend looking at PPC for fixing your cat or dog. Also, I love the vet techs at PPC. They're so friendly and really take the time to answer questions and make sure everything is clear.However, if your cat or dog is very sick, you may want to choose a full service animal hospital, such as Visiting Vets, Metropolitan Animal Hospital, or Stow Kent Animal Hospital. Notably, one time, we brought our cat to PPC and she ended up being seriously ill, which we did not know at the time - and PPC did not charge us for the visit. They saw she was gravely ill and said "go to an emergency vet right now." I thought that reflected their sincere caring for animals, rather than "we can't do anything for her. Go to a full service vet, and you owe us $25."Based on their signs, I think they only treat cats and dogs. So if you have a different animal, you may want to call first or look elsewhere. One last thing: they are not by appointment - they are walk-in only. This can be convenient or a pain in the butt. It's typically not been an issue, but there has been one or two times where I ended up waiting almost an hour (out of several visits, so it was not the norm). Also, they don't open very early nor are they open very late, which can be a challenge with work schedules.If you need to get your cat or dog vaccinated, checked-out for minor problems, tested, fixed, or anything else rather routine, PPC will save you a good amount of money while providing high quality service. Definitely recommend. Read Less
