About Us

Thank You For Your Kind Words

Catharine O.

“The vet took the time to listen to my concerns about medications for my dog’s arthritis & pain. We came up with a plan together, weighing the benefits, & negatives, of one treatment over another. I wasn’t made to feel like I didn’t have a say in my dog’s treatment plan. I really appreciated his concerns & gentleness with my old girl.”
