Some things we DON'T

Picture
Rush your appointments
We're always thorough and ensure all your concerns are heard

Treat your online research results with disdain 
We know you only Google because you care. We love and encourage 'pawrent' participation when it comes to caring for our patients

Promote treatments based on what we think you can afford
We value honesty remember? We'll help you to understand ALL of your pet's treatment options, then provide clear fee estimates and innovative payment solutions if required.

Judge the decisions you make for your pet
That's not what compassionate care means
