What recent reviews say

Most recent visits involve skilled, warm care and clear communication; staff remember patients and explain treatment thoroughly. One catastrophic 1-star report alleges a fatal medication overdose, which stands starkly against dozens of 5-star accounts praising the clinic's attention to senior and rescued animals.

Praised for
  • friendly and professional staff
  • knowledgeable vets and techs
  • thorough explanations and follow-up
  • compassionate end-of-life care
Watch-outs
  • medication dosing error led to patient death
  • miscalculation in drug administration
compassionate-staffknowledgeable-vetsclear-communicationclean-facilitythorough-examsgentle-with-animals
Best for: Senior dogs, rescue animals, owners seeking patient education and emotional support during end-of-life care.
Think twice if: Anyone concerned about medication safety and dosing accuracy should weigh the single fatal overdose claim against the clinic's otherwise strong record.

Strengths

  • staff remember individual patients
  • hands-on post-procedure guidance
  • compassionate handling of difficult cases

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Russ named as well-regarded veterinarian
  • Staff call owners during procedures to provide updates
