We used Little River Vet for years but have been without a pet for a while. But we now have dog and cat and are so glad Little River (now Pender) is still available for the excellent care we had previously.
My dog was sick and my old Vet couldn’t get her on the schedule for one month. Pender fit me in the next day. Great staff, took care of my dog. Professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Recommend.
Blood tests for Mina the cat today were done quickly and didn't bother Mina much. Dr Downs quickly contacted me with test results as we figure out the next steps for Mina. The same excellent standard of care is provided by Dr Downs and her staff of vet techs. I've been bringing my cats to her for over 20 years. Best decision ever.
