The vet listened intently to my concerns, kept a watchful eye on our little buddy and proceeded with her idea to solve his issues. our boy was in no way stressed and rather enjoyed the tummy tickles!

They asked if they could take her to to back because there was "too many people in the room" (me and my family) they came back a short while later and said my dog slipped her harness(which has never happened before) and that they couldn't do any vaccines or anything for her, until she had been on a sedation medication. I asked for them to try in the room but they ultimately refused. Sent us home with trazodone and gabapentin to give the dog. I gave the meds to her as instructed, but my dog didn't seem different. I told them I would sit with my dog this time(my family was still in the room with us) and again they commented about having too many people(not exactly a choice as they wanted a morning appt and I have young children.) To which I said it'd be fine and that we just need her shots done. They came prepared with ONE of the vaccines that she needed out of several. I held the dog and she was fine, a little nervous but fine. They refused to give her the other shots to "avoid stressing her out more" recommended more meds to sedate my dog further. I refused the meds as that's just additional money that I don't see as necessary. Come time to check out, and they charged me for an exam; which didn't happen. They tried to get me to have the medications more than once which my 5 year old dog has never needed for a vet appt before. So very upset that this was our experience as now we feel we have not much choice than to drive the distance for the vet that seemed to care more for the dog than the money. All the good reviews gave me such hope... thankful we learned this quickly and don't have to go through this again.

He recently helped my 14 year old Jack Russell who had kidney failure. He kept her feeling much better for close to two years. It was stressful as she was part of our family.

His wife Dr Julie was also great when Dr Chris was not available. And the staff really care about your animal. They all came to see my Jack Russell before I had to let her go.

My husband and I have been taking our three golden retrievers to this veterinary clinic since we…read moremoved to the area last March. It's a beautiful office, the vets are well qualified and the staff has almost always been courteous, professional and upbeat. That changed yesterday. Several weeks ago we booked an appointment for annual check-ups/shots for all three dogs. We showed up for the appointment on time. The clinic was running behind considerably, by almost 30 minutes. Things happen, and docs get backed up. I understand that. A heads up call would have been nice, though. As we were waiting in the parking lot, my husband needed to use the restroom. Most adults can hold it. He can't. He's a 3x cancer survivor (sarcoma). His chemo treatment has left him unable to hold it. After sitting in the car in anguish, he politely knocked on the clinic door fully masked, told her he was fully vaccinated and asked if he could use the restroom. The woman with the blue hair (sorry, I don't know her name) answered the door and flat out told him no. Keep in mind that we're paying customers. Yesterday's vet visit likely would have cost us somewhere in the neighborhood of $600 based on our experience with other visits to this clinic. So, we drove down to the nearest Port-o-John so my husband could relieve himself. Meanwhile, I called the clinic and got blue hair lady on the phone. I was calm and pointed, making it clear that we would be taking our business elsewhere because of her lack of compassion for another human being. I wanted this to be a teaching moment for her. I explained my husband's cancer situation, and she said that she would have let him use the restroom if he had told her about his illness. I was aghast that a paying customer and fellow human being was expected to bare his soul to a stranger for some basic humanity. Not sure if she knows a lot of men, but most aren't exactly the soul baring types. Blue haired lady started to cry. She told me she was shaking. Truly, my intention wasn't to make her cry. It was to educate her on her profound ignorance and let her know she had lost a customer. I recognize that this country is a cesspool for inhumanity and narcissism right now. But, one has to wonder if they want their beloved pets being cared for by someone who displays such mean, judgmental and shortsighted behavior to another human being. I got a glimpse into who that person is, and I don't trust her to care for my pups. The beauty of capitalism is that I can take my business somewhere else. I'll not reward rudeness with my hard-earned dollar. There are plenty of qualified vets in the world whose staffs are considerate of both people and pets. **UPDATE** One of the docs left my husband a message. So disappointing and unproductive, claiming I "berated" her employee and hiding behind her Covid protocol. Typical clinician who hasn't a clue about how to run a customer-facing business and doesn't care about people. Why would I trust this person with my pups? Reaffirms our decision to not return to this clinic. Clearly, the management only empowers bad behavior from its employee.

They apparently have both retired (as they deserved) and the clinic has been bought out. To say the least I was shocked at the care for my 15 year old pup I received from a hospital I used for many of my pets. I have now changed vets to one that is a bit farther away but better.

Dr. Mara recommended a different approach for my dog on a couple different fronts, both of which were far easier, and WAY less expensive than my previous vet had been recommending, and not only did it save me a ton of money, their approach was so much better and less stressful for my dog.

They take independent approach to each dog, meaning if my pup loves her belly rubbed she gets her belly rubbed. But if she loves to be just left alone, she is left alone. Having two separate areas for the dogs, big and small size, helps too so that pups stay in their weight class. The fenced in outdoor play areas are great and on the icky days, they have inside areas as well ready for all the Mother Nature's antics. Winni loved going to Four Paws, and each time came home and crashed from all the fun. Four Paws was also very accommodating with a Pup Bus when I could not get her to daycare or home. And the extra services of grooming, Winni loved her spa days. Highly recommend!
