The phone call I made to let them know I was coming, was with an unprofessional receptionist who was totally unsympathetic and a carefree attitude. I was met by a very nice tech and vet, who were very swift with putting my pup out of her misery, even though it was a cold, brightly lit room, not peaceful at all for me. However, I couldn't afford the cremation right away and I was told I would have to take her home. I asked if they would put her in something and I was told yes, but they handed me her wrapped in an old towel and told me to put her in the freezer. I was devastated hearing this. Not only did I not have a freezer large enough, but I would have to wait five days to get the money together for cremation. Thankfully, on Monday, my regular vet took her in and took very good care of her until cremation. I've always said good success using this hospital, but this hurt my heart.

If you are going to into the office for a Rabies shot that the Government requires every 2 years…read moremake sure you ask for a quote before seeing the Doctor. Dr Pennington. The Doc is a great man he is very caring about animals, BUT, getting back to the quote for what you want done. The last visit was $300, I ended up paying for Blood work test's that is NOT what is required in the state, there is another shot that is not required it is a shot for Lyme Disease. My dog is in the house 90 % of the time, she only goes outside for her Bathroom issues, and walks down the sidewalks. I will be requesting the Rabies shot only going forward. Like I said the Doctor is a very nice man and he knows animals, but buyer be aware of unnecessary charges.

Dr. Pennington and his crew have been my vet of choice for over 30 years. He is the best in the…read morearea and truly cares about his patients. People here have complained about the wait time and there is a reason for that wait time. Unlike other vets and animal hospitals, you will not be rushed. You are given the time needed to give your furbaby the best care possible. If it goes over the standard care time so be it. Yes others will wait but if the time comes that YOU need extra time with the vet, you will get the same excellent treatment and the time needed for your pet to be best cared for. It amazes me these days how people don't notice when there is not a revolving door for patients. He is accepting patients on and off over the year as people move etc. You'll still want to give them a call either way. If you have a question, Doctor Pennington will call you back during his phone "call back" times which is usually after 5pm est. The staff are very knowledgeable and will usually know whether or not your question can be answered over a phone call or if your furbaby would need to be seen. They have been working at the office for a very long time and if for some reason they don't know, they will check with the doctor. Regardless of how we feel about it, sometimes the questions can only be answered with the pet present and an appointment is needed. He's not going to just tell you what you want to hear. As for cost, he is actually very good for this area. And if you have a budget you need to let the staff know. They will work with you to keep within your budget and get the best care for your pet. There are almost always medication and treatment options!

It's obvious there is something wrong w his mouth preventing him from eating and drinking fully. I truly believe these people wanted to just run tests to charge me money. Bc the first thing the vet said was this was going to cost few hundred dollars that I had to pay for right then and there. Never had a health care professional be concerned with payment. That not their responsibility. This was insulting as if she thought I couldn't afford it or money was something that would persuade me not to get my car care. They continued to jab my cat almost 1/2 dozen times trying to draw blood. The vet. She finally had to call a tech in. There were three techs and the vet and they were so cruel to my cat. I will never go back and half mind to call the authorities bc they have a vet who is in capable of handling animals.

The staff is , incredibly kind and professional. They met my boyfriend's shepherd mix when I brought her for a nail trim. Lacy was very anxious but not only did they take their time, they were so kind and truly gained her trust. I just brought her for another nail trim & a Lyme disease vaccine (several months later), and Lacy was not shaking this time. They were again patient and loving towards her. I will be bringing her again for her second Lyme vaccine next week. I recommend PAW very highly. They will love your pet and are in this for the right reasons.

My kitty, Finley is doing remarkably well ever since switching over to holistic care at All…read moreCreatures Wise and Wonderful. Last spring, he got extremely ill and tested positive for a fatal retrovirus. We thought he was a goner. The conventional vets pretty much gave up on him and told me to consider euthanasia. Finley bounced back after we put the prednisone in the trash bin and instead gave him some Acemannan "inner leaf" aloe and CBD oil from Pet Releaf. He started seeing Dr. Matthews after this (early last spring). She tested all of his food, and medicines to make sure they agree with him. She recommended a limited raw food diet, continuing with the aloe and CBD, as well as monthly acupuncture treatments. Dr. Matthews has a way of communicating with the animal, understanding their backstory and knowing what they need. It seems a little hocus pocus but you can clearly see the animal responding. She was also trained as a conventional vet. She has a lovely side-kick named Dee Dee, who does Reiki and just loves up the animals during their procedures. Dee Dee gives Finley "cookies" and places a scarf over his head so he feels secure, (and looks like a baby babushka). Finley does get very stressed from the travel so Dee Dee's relaxing and loving energy has been especially helpful. The office also provides 'acupuncture' treatments over telehealth. Don't ask me how this works, but it DOES. Since Finley started as a patient, he has been acting happy and healthy, getting into lots of mischief, "helping" around the house, and posting his latest thots to Instagram. He does have a bit of a "herx" reaction which lasts about 2-3 days after each appointment, but I assume this is a good sign.
