Dr. Dryden and staff were incredibly helpful and compassionate with our beloved senior retired service dog who wasn’t feeling herself, and spent a lot of time with us helping get to the bottom of her ailments. Thank you so much Critters Clinic, we love you!

Reviews
We have had some medical scares with both of our dogs and critter clinic has always taken care of them in the best way. Dr Tharpe always makes us feel secure knowing our dogs will be okay.
Critter Clinic is excellent. We have been taking our babies there for their entire lives (12 & 9 this year).
Chris is outstanding up front and Dr. Pounds is a world class veterinarian. I trust her judgement and skill above any other veterinarian I have ever worked with or met. If she left/moved I would take my son (Winston) wherever she was because she is that impressive as a medical provider.
