I recently had to put down my pet hedgehog (5 years old and suffering from WHS) and I can't explain how amazing this place handled everything. They fit me in on the same day, and they were just incredibly kind during such a difficult time. The office staff was caring, communicative, and professional and the doctor was fantastic. He explained everything and answered all of my questions, and provided my hedgie with the utmost care. I highly recommend this place for your pet care.
I wanted to update my review as last time I was upset and my experience wasn’t great. The vet has always been amazing. Today I had to say bye to my little hedgie Stella and it was a very difficult day for me. He was extremely reassuring and kind and I got to spend as much time with her as I needed. I wanted to thank them for their patience and kindness and helping me get through today. The vet even stated after t answer all of my questions and help
Me with my grieving process. Thank you for all of your kindness and care today.
I bring our rabbit and cats here and have had very positive experiences each time!!
The staff is so nice and they really do a great job!
It’s hard to find a vet to treat rabbits. The other ones in the area were far more expensive. PPEAH really did a great job with our bunny’s spay as well as any care we have needed since.
We have also brought our elderly cat in. Again, same wonderful experience!
They do a really wonderful job of trying to explain costs BEFORE the appointment. They do their best to avoid surprise bills.
Highly recommend!!
