What reviewers say

40% Mixed sentiment
based on 666 reviews

The hospital provides crucial 24-hour emergency and critical care services to the local community, operating primarily through a curbside drop-off model where pets are brought inside while owners wait. The facility handles a wide range of urgent situations, including traumatic injuries, toxic ingestions, and surgical procedures, alongside compassionate end-of-life care. While many clients express deep gratitude for the supportive and gentle demeanor of certain staff members and veterinarians during high-stress moments, experiences with wait times, pricing transparency, and communication style vary significantly across visits.
