Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional and compassionate to our needs. Being new patients they were able to quickly schedule follow ups and boosters. I haven't received such compassionate care, honesty and time to explain history and concerns as I experienced at this clinic. I may be a new client but my first few appointments were a really good start to a new town and a new veterinary clinic I feel I can trust. Thank you.

Rob said as soon as he got him to the vet they gave him painkillers to top the pain while we decided what to do. It was apparent that the damage was so great that we needed to euthanize him. By the time I got of work he was already euthanized. They brought him out for me to see, he was still warm so I kissed on him and cried for about 15 minutes. The staff was very compassionate. Let me take my time. I am grateful to them for that.

They supported my partner and I though the entire process as well during his last appointments. Our Bandit was in great hands throughout all of his appointments at this clinic. They answered all questions we had and made caring for our boy easy. After he left us the clinic took nose and paw prints for us, chose a beautiful box for his ashes and mailed us a stone with his name engraved, all from the kindness of their hearts. Thank you Sunnybrae Animal Clinic for all your care! I continue to recommend this clinic for the other pets in our lives.

The first time I came to this clinic my dog had collapsed and they immediately took her back to…read morecheck on her. Within 5 minutes the clinician came back and said we need to euthanize with zero explanation as to why. It wasn't until they were already drawing the euthanasia into the needles that they explained there were tumors in her stomach and they had preformed an ultrasound to find them. She has had no history of this but I could see she was suffering so I agreed. When I was saying goodbye to my dog I've had since I was 10 years old they kept coming in asking if I was done yet. I was given 10 minutes to say goodbye to my dog of over a decade. They still charged the emergency visit fee on top of the cremation fee. I was out $700 and my best friend. There was no one else in the lobby waiting and they were still rushing me out. No sympathy to my situation, you'd think vets would be more compassionate to pet parents but no. The only reason i'm giving the two stars is because on another occasion, I needed to get my cat dewormed and the woman on the phone encouraged me to try a cheaper over the counter medication at a local pet store first, before paying for an appointment at their clinic.

I'm going to drop the photos here for everyone to review & make their own decisions. I know hair will grow back but this shows the "expertise" of the groomer. I know this review may do no good to the owner whose response to criticism has been quite colorful to say the least, but I do know that in a small town word travels faster than wildfire & I plan to take my botched pup to every local place to show off his "muddy paws look".

The shelters are old, yes, but they are certainly not in danger of collapse. The fences are working fine; it's been a long while since they weren't.

The fences (hotwire) don't work most of the time, so horses get out routinely. The owners are NOT horse people -- they had no prior experience with horses prior to buying the stable a few years ago. In fact, they've missed noticing obviously colicing horses in the past! DO NOT trust the owners to feed your horse, either -- they've failed to feed horses in the past that they were paid to feed. Animal control has been called out before because of horses in extremely poor condition, which the owners had been trying to sweep under the rug. And the "arena"... The sand footing is way too deep. The owners were even told by the vet's office that the footing is dangerous and could cause tendon/ligament injuries to horses, but the owners haven't fixed it (or really anything else that's needed repairs).
