It is easy to make appointments here, and the office keeps us up to date on what our animals are…read moredue for: vaccines, etc. Also, they are very understanding when you have trouble getting large dogs to their appointments!  (Let's just say our Great Dane had issues.) Their boarding services are wonderful and very reasonably priced. We felt very comfortable having them take care of our Great Dane after he got neutered knowing he would receive his medication on time and eat quality food. Now to the vet: Dr. Scott Peters has been our family veterinarian for close to two decades. He's maintained the health of our donkeys, horse, dogs, and cats (yes, it gets noisy sometimes out here!). He saw us thru two donkey pregnancies, has a great after-hour emergency service (which we have used more than once), and helped us keep the feral cat population down in our area by spraying/neutering the ferals my mom would trap and bring in (I think most vets would have told her that was crazy to do). If you need veterinarian services in the Ava area, I recommend the Animal Clinic of Ava.

Their dogs and been checked and cleared of having hip dysplasia, and will be microchipped too. The parents/puppies have the most gorgeous colors, and wonderful temperaments. The puppies and puppy's parents are also very socialized by the owners and as well as their children and grandchildren. They live on a farm so the puppies will also be socialized with horses and cows. Stanley and Sandy take excellent care of their dogs/puppies. They treat these beautiful dogs like family, which they are, fur babies. Stanley and Sandy are the most genuine, honest people you will ever have the pleasure to meet. They are so easy to talk to, whether it is in person, over the phone, or messaging, it is like you have met them before.

This is where I first heard of her and saw Aprils amazing work. I had a one hour session with her where my dog and I had our photos taken.

Some other animals that I know she does are cats, rabbits, a lamb, and even a cute little rat! (Yes, I have rats and know how fun they are!)

Today (05/29/26) I took our beloved miniature dachshund in at 8:30am to get neutered and he was k*ll3d instead. At 9:30am we were called and told that the sedation went fine but his test!cles hadn't dropped so they needed our permission to "find them" because it cost $100 more. They said there were no pros or cons to continue or stop the surgery so since we were under the impression he was already put under, we agreed to let them go ahead with it and we would pay the extra money. The vet did not run proper tests on my dog beforehand or check his heart, which was enlarged (found out after d3ath), and put him under in which the anesthetic k!ll3d him. If they would've taken 1 simple step to check, our sweet boy would still be al!ve and well. They also waited over 5 hours to call us around 1:15pm to even tell us the news and when we showed up less than 5 minutes later, he was already cold and stiff. While being very dismissive, defensive, degrading, heartless and down right rude to us, the lady who called us at 9:30am argued that she "never said they had him sedated on the phone" which is an absolute lie. The vet was so defensive and said he did everything he could. We were then told that since his test!cles hadn't dropped, the surgery wasn't even needed because he was more than likely infertile. Then why'd they do it?? Why didn't they tell us that on the first phone call?? He shrugged his shoulders and didn't have an answer then. I asked about the huge time gap from 9:30am-1:15pm and he said "he tried calling us at 11am and it didn't go through" so in his case he didn't get an answer so he waits another 2 hours? We never got any other calls besides at 9:30am and 1:15pm. When asking for all records and receipts to be printed off, they argued until they were blue in the face that our dog had NEVER been there, that's also not true. He'd been multiple times for vaccines and routine things. They finally found 1 singular visit in their records but none others. The vet was also adamant about sending the x-ray that was done after death, instead I took a photo of the computer screen which shows a time stamp of 10:04am. My dog was long gone before they said anything to us so they could make up a story, they were prepared. They still tried to keep our deposit and make us pay for the cr3mation or we another option given was we could just do a mass cr3mation and toss him out. When I declined (after going back and forth to try to keep our money), they tried making me leave with my cold, stiff dog, in a dinky towel in front of their fully jammed packed waiting room. It was sad, embarrassing, degrading, heartless, and downright inhumane of how we were treated. DO NOT go to this place if you want to keep your animals alive. I'm not the only bad review and I also know they have deleted other bad reviews. Keep your babies safe, do not go here no matter the circumstances. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!!!
