    Dr. Tripathi saved my dog’s life! Diagnosed him with kennel cough and pneumonia. Got him on the right medications and my dog started feeling better in 1 day and fully recovered within 2 weeks without having to be hospitalized so he could recover at home. So thankful for him and the team at Hilltop. Thank you!!
