My 3 cats have been coming here for years. A few months back my oldest boy needed some serious dental work done and I was very worried about the whole process. It wasn't cheap (surgery for a pet *never* is, that said they're about as low cost as someone can be operating a veterinary business in SM) but I was so happy with the level of care that my cat got, and the continuous communication from the team throughout the day kept me reassured.
He's since made a full recovery and is a very happy kitty again!
Definitely planning on continuing my cats' care here!

Reviews
I brought my 7 month old kitten yesterday and the service was so helpful and efficient! The staff is well informed. I felt from the moment I walked in that my little boy was in good hands. They gave me constant check in details for him. Turns out he was just overheated! So grateful for this team!!
Changed our vet and we have loved every staff member and doctor we’ve worked with. They are very friendly out front and prompt and professional in the back. Doctors and techs have all been very competent as well.
