Reviews
Our lionhead bunny was 10 years old when we had to make the tough decision to let her go to sleep. I made the appointment for late in their day. As soon as I walked in, the staff was kind and compassionate. They allowed me to pay in advance so as to not have to stay after. Dr. Garner was super soft spoken and compassionate with us. He reassured me that I was making the right decision and why. It was a very difficult day, but I walked out without any guilty feelings, just heartache. I cannot thank them enough for the way they treated my baby and me during a tough visit.
Also, they were half the price of any other vet I called further away.
Stephan Garner was amazing!
He was more than a vet!
He was a teacher, as well as a guide!
The entire time he went into detail about every step and why. Great vibes and good energy!
I feel those people love animals and they all seem happy and knowledgeable! Great prices!
Try this clinic if you want a guaranteed good doctor!
You won’t regret it!
