My dog was badly injured and the staff did great work. He’s doing fantastic and will be just fine. The work was expensive but it was done overnight on a Friday and he was treated like any other person would have been. Glad I made the decision to rush him to a ER.

Our pet had a serious allergic reaction to a bite on a Saturday and we took her to this emergency clinic to which we had never been before. The doctor and the staff were both competent and compassionate. The care was excellent and our pet was much improved within hours of the treatment she received. We could not be more pleased.
