    I went to them for the first time for a quality of life check. My 20 year old cat was starting to show signs that she was ready to cross the rainbow bridge. They were so kind, compassionate, and gave me honest answers. I miss my cat, but thanks to their support and care, I know she is no longer in pain. They have now become my primary vet.

    Everyone was so kind and helpful. We just moved here and my old dog was struggling. The visit ended up being pricy, but they really were thorough in explaining the cost and giving me choice. It definitely wasn’t as expensive as it could’ve been. Really grateful for their kindness in working with my old boy. I would highly recommend this vet. It was also very clean and peaceful in there.

    My cat woke up sick and they were able to get me an emergency appointment same day AND not charge exorbitant prices. I just moved to the area and was looking for a new vet for my 3 cats and found it here. The care and patience they demonstrated with us was above and beyond, explaining everything in a way we could understand.
    Thanks so much for treating Tart :) She's doing better than ever now!

    The compassion and dedication of this team are unmatched. You can truly feel how much they love your pet and care about their wellbeing. The staff goes above and beyond to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care, and it makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have a hospital that treats pets like family.

    My sweet pup was cared for by the staff at Saltwater for the last 6 years of her life. She had a lot of medical needs towards the end so was there monthly. They were so kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. If you want the best care choose them.

    They were incredibly accommodating. I called to attempt to get a same-day appointment and they said that they could get my dog seen if I dropped him off and they could squeeze him in between other appointments. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option for me as my dog suffers from extreme separation anxiety. They had me come close to closing and were able to fit me in. You can tell that they genuinely care. Dr Runey takes extra time to explain things thoroughly and in depth. A+

    I called with an issue with my dog’s eyes and they made an appt that day!! We went in and a doctor saw him right away did an exam and a test. She gave us the results.
    She ordered drops and eye lube! We did as she told us to do for two weeks. We did struggle with dosing the drops and eye lube! Our little guy took exception to our administering them!! I called and they came up with a solution! We followed the instructions and it was so much better.
    Dr. Aubrey DeHa is a great vet and the staff is friendly and helpful. The appts were on time. The office and exam rooms were clean!

    Thank you so much, Dr. Deal, Sabrina, Katrina, Sadie (apologies if I got any names wrong)... everyone at the clinic was so helpful and so wonderful. My 4-year old cat Una was in great hands at your clinic, and the treatment recommendations made me feel like my baby was being taken care of thoroughly. And thank you for letting her do her thing and get comfy behind your computer. :)
    I appreciate you very much!
