What reviewers say

70% Positive sentiment
based on 1,104 reviews

Help For Animals Inc. in Barboursville is a high-volume, low-cost spay, neuter, and vaccination clinic that provides affordable veterinary care to the community. The staff is widely regarded as compassionate, caring, and dedicated to helping pet owners on a budget. However, due to its popularity and low prices, the facility frequently experiences heavy crowding, significant wait times, and difficulties with phone communication and appointment scheduling. The clinic operates strictly as a routine and wellness provider rather than an emergency facility, and waiting areas can occasionally feature strong odors and cleanliness concerns.
