what pet parents are saying…

“Everyone here was friendly and professional. They treated our stray dog with dignity and respect and fixed her umbilical hernia she had that wedidn't know about.

There's a lot of stigma when it comes to Pitbull breeds, but they showed her so much love and didn't have any fear for her. I'm very happy with the outcome of the service there and would absolutely recommend them.”

Paula S

“I took my two female cats to get spayed. The staff is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was extremely comfortable with leaving my babies in their care. The prices are the best out there. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a spay and neuter clinic.”
