I took my first golden retriever to Dr. Strickland in 1992 and since that time he and his staff have provided the best care and compassion to the next two retrievers I’ve had. Always there to welcome a new pup into my life and for advice and helping make those tough decisions when it’s time to say goodbye. A big thank you to him and his staff for taking such good care of my best buddy, my 8 year old golden Cassidy for her surgery yesterday. For a doggie that dreads a trip to the vet, his staff always takes the time to make her feel loved and get her through the procedures.

I searched around before I landed here & I will never leave. Dr. Strickland is the only vetenarian there which means no other animals are in the building when I take my high anxiety cat in. This makes for a peaceful, quite, stable environment. The pricing is the most reasonable you could ever find! This place is not in it for the money instead they are in it for the love of the animal! I will probably cry when this man retires. He is the last of a dying breed & has been so quick, thorough & great to my lil man who Actually* loves the staff there. My cat always convinces the girls in there to hold him which is RARE & so is this place! 💙💗
