My dog hates the vet. This vet did the best job I've ever seen trying to help train that fear away. The vet even came out after the appointment to sit around and shower my dog with some love so hopefully next time he's a little less nervous to visit.
I was going to Dr Haas and then Dr Mariko took over. My 13 year old pit bull had an emergency yesterday and when I called, they said to bring him in right away . Luckily he was fine, but I am so grateful forthe last minute accommodation.
