Very good veterinarians, but the prices are quite high. They also tend to schedule "additional tests", and even after I called four days later to explain that my pet was doing well and the initial problem had been resolved, the extra test was not canceled. It sometimes feels like many vets follow the same playbook of recommending as many services as possible, which can make the experience feel more focused on billing than on what's actually needed. That was my impression here as well. It's disappointing, because the care itself is good. If you're good at what you do, just be good and bill honestly for the work that's actually necessary. People can tell when it starts to feel excessive. Very expensive here. Bottom line. read more

Ollie has been coming here since 5 weeks of age he is now 2 he got neutered, microchipped and vaccinated here.The care never stopped being amazing! I found a kitten in a trash can at 3 weeks and of course also had to take her here they've been nothing but amazing with her which is no surprise. She also got all her vaccines here, spayed and microchipped. This place is amazing and you can tell they really love what they do and care for your furry friends. Seriously wouldn't go anywhere else you guys rock! read more

See all

I have always been very comfortable with the care my pets have received at Perticote. They have cared for our dogs and cats for multiple years. I have been to many vet offices and emergency clinics and specialist offices. I keep returning to Peticote for their personal care for our family. They are there when I need them . My questions are answered in a manner that I appreciate . Dr, Bill and Dr Jeanette have provided all the care I could expect from my Vets and beyond . Thank you for your honesty and compassion. I like that this is a family type of practice . The rural setting is one you can't find elsewhere . Thank you to the Vet techs and front office staff! You all are hard working and do an amazing job. The office is always busy which makes your day even busier. Thank you Carolyn for keeping it all together! Would highly recommend your practice to anyone. read more

Perpetual miscommunication among staff members. Misguided workers providing inaccurate and misleading information as there is a clear disconnect between the clinical team and the clerical team . Self righteous male doctor known to speak to clients condescendingly and has demonstrated, on more than one occasion, to have a very short fuse and/or an anger issue. If you can not treat others with dignity, particularly paying customers, I do not have confidence that you will treat an animal with it either. This practice is breed and size discriminatory but instead of refusing service for these baseless prejudices, they do everything in their power (including financially exploiting you via unnecessary lab work, testing, medications and vaccines that have absolutely nothing to do with boarding eligibility), making it nearly impossible to board the dog. By the time you've finally done everything they've asked of you, another staff member will contact and berate you with more last minute requirements while insisting that YOU are lying, That somehow YOU Dropped the ball and that YOU must have been told all of this earlier, but chose not do YOUR part. This game will go on until it is less than 12 hours before your animal's stay, you have talked to numerous staff members with varying accounts of what is expected, at which point you are either out of time/funds to fulfill everything that is being asked of you or you just downright no longer feel comfortable entrusting such incompetence with a precious part of your family. Now out of hundreds of hard earned dollars on a cancelled hotel stay, but the peace of mind that we have knowing our dog will never be subjected to this nonsense again is priceless. Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me twice, shame on me!!! DO BETTER. read more

I highly recommend Peticote Veterinary Clinic. Except for the long waits, which I get, we have always had positive visits. I am understanding of how Covid has affected all of us and the lingering effects as well. We are all adjusting to a new world. We all have to be patient and understanding. Every visit we have had has been positive. We greatly appreciate the doctors and staff. read more

Will find another vet. The vets themselves are great - but the office has no clue as to what's going on. I left after waiting for the vet to show up after 45 minutes sitting in the room! No respect for anyone's time at all. Also they won't deal with any calls for scripts if chewy is involved - not sure on other services. They just won't answer calls or verify prescriptions for chewy. So you have to drive in just to get a written script! You'd never know we're in the computer age. Not a happy camper. They overbook all the time and then expect you to bend to their inconsistencies. Will find services elsewhere. I hope the good doctors figure it out. They need some serious help in the business department! They don't realize that even if you're a great vet - you have to treat the customers fairly. read more

I feel this situation needed to be shared because it is not a "light" one you can just brush off. I have gone to Peticote for the last 4 years for both of my dogs, of which never really had a problem until today. My dog Gypsy had a recent visit where we were told she might have hip dysplasia and needed X-rays. I booked the appointment and all was set. I was then called week before and had to move that appointment from Friday to Saturday because of understaffing. Okay no biggie. Then day before Saturday, I was called and told need to reschedule because of overbooking. Ok once again fine, but I'd already scheduled twice now and I'm getting a little annoyed. Appointment day comes I was told I could bring her in early around 8:20am because I had to work the day. She was gotten at 8:50am. Lady came out to get Gypsy and said she should be done around 10:30am. Ok I said I would wait around since it's a 33min drive back home. Made no sense to leave. 11:30am comes, haven't heard anything, call to check in on my dog. Lady was immediately cold and said "she's fine, she is resting". I said okay when is she good to go and how did she do? Lady responded " she hasn't been seen yet. Probably not until 12-12:30pm". I was confused and said " I was told much earlier? I'm confused on why things keep changing ". I got a response back saying "we cant prepare for everything that walks thru our door." I said I understand but I was told this morning something different so I need some clarity and have been waiting this whole time". Lady then said " yknow what's not fair? Moms that can't be with their sick kids. People who work during COVID". I said " I don't need a lecture on what's fair I never even said anything about fair. I just wanted clarification and worry about my KID (cause yes I'm a mom to my dog)". The lady said a couple other inappropriate things and then said " I'm not going to have someone push me to push the doctor to SUICIDE". How disgusting of you to even bring that up. What on earth is wrong with you, how dare you. She then proceeded to keep cutting me off, was unintelligent in what she was saying and the conversation ended. I never once during our conversation was rude or inappropriate and kept reiterating that I wanted to just know what's going on with my dog and need a time for pickup. Simple question to answer. I have to work during COVID too (you know cause apparently this woman thought I wasn't working, k) Fast forward to 3:15pm she was FINALLY seen for an X-ray that only took 25min. She was there all day and I was advised to not feed her or give water since 10pm the night before because we originally had an 8:20am drop off. They had to make an appointment just to pick her up which was at 5:20pm. Did not get home until after 6pm. It was unnecessary. If it was overbooking or under staffing AGAIN, let someone know. I would have rescheduled AGAIN. Immediately once we got her she had to go poop and pee desperately. What was she doing there for 8 hrs? No sense for an X-ray appointment that long. And on top of it this is how you treat me? Stress doesn't give someone the right to be an asshole. I'm DISGUSTED from that conversation and the overall day. After 4 years here, this one experience has me leaving for good. I will never bring my pets to this establishment ever again. It's a shame. I would be lying if I said I didn't cry from this experience. Fast forward to the "apologies" and updates. Spoke with Dr. Petit again (we spoke twice at this point in matter) and he said his wife gets worried about suicide rates and vets have the highest rate... supposedly talked with her and said won't happen again. Even though in our first conversation he said it was a technician I had been dealing with but now it's his wife. The wife ended up calling me back not to start off with an apology but to update me on my dog which her husband did two minutes prior. Ok. She then said " I'm sorry, this is a difficult time for us, and I didn't know what you're going thru,etc" along with other non-relevant excuses. You don't defend your outburst during an apology (which shows you she isn't sincere nor feels at fault). If you really believe you were wrong, you just apologize. Simple. So thank you for an insincere apology. My dogs will never come here and I'm happy to never deal with this ignorant woman again. For reference, my total bill was $472.03 for the day. I advise anyone looking for a vet, to find a different one. A vet clinic that shows kindness to both the animals they treat and their owners. read more

Had a follow up shot appointment and was told they were too busy and they rescheduled us, ok. Went back for next appt., told they were busy and we can wait in our car and they would call us. Told the receptionist I had another appt, how long will it be, she replied she didn't know. Now my dog has to start the shots all over and I have to pay again. The customer service at Peticote sucks. After Dr. Bill retired this place is just sucks. read more

Dr. Jeanette was great...everything and everyone else at the practice was horrible and its seems like covid has made it even worse. In a time of crisis we were unable to see her and had to deal with her father. The senior Petit was standoffish and misogynistic. Its a good thing his patients can't talk because he has no bed side manner. He was not receptive to owner input on animals behavior and presentation to aid in diagnosis which led to multiple visits and issues being missed and left untreated. Appears to be treating only symptoms and not looking to treat the cause. Also, If you make the poor choice to continue going here check your meds before you leave as we were given the medication for the wrong weight of our animal. Oh and be sure to clear your schedule as appointments rarely ran on time. read more

Very, very caring vets!! Very strong concern to make visits as safe as possible . All vets are so concerning

This veterinarian has attitude problems and has a real chip on his shoulder. He thinks he is a wonderful vet but most of his services and procedures have a monetary agenda. I regret ever bringing my animals to this clinic. I have found so many more caring Vets in the area who are motivated by the animal's health and well being and not emptying the owner's wallets. BTW-does his property still have a "pay to hunt" business on it? (that should tell you something) read more

We've been going here since we moved to the area in Spring, have seen Dr Carter on a few occasions and love him, the nurses and the front desk ladies! I have always left feeling very informed and at a reasonable cost. The office and the exam room are always very clean. Definitely recommend Peticote Vet Clinic! read more

Peticote is a family owned veterinary clinic that also has boarding. Dr. Petit and his daughter Janette are both great doctors. The staff is friendly, kind, and sympathetic. I have three dogs. We have been going to Peticote for almost ten years. I have been seen twice in emergency situations. When results have come in the doctors themselves have called me with the results. I appreciate so many things about Peticote. I highly recommend them. read more

Very professional and courteous, always takes the time to answer questions. they care about your pet as if it was their own.

Peticote Vetinary Clinic has been the place I've taken Fred "Dog" since he was a pup. The staff treat him like he's their own. Dr. Bill & Dr. J. are a God send. Not enough words explain what good people as well as DVMs'. They have never given up on my Fred. I highly recommend Peticote Vetinary Clinic. The techs "girls" are very very knowledgeable as well as caring and compassionate. Awesome. The animals they treat are treated like humans...... read more

i gave peticote a few chances before I wrote this review. The first time I took my male older cat in with a grape size lump on his chest, Dr . Drained it with a needle sent me home and it came right back . the lump seems as though it isn't bothering my cat but I had no answers as to what it was. recently I make an appointment for my older female cat who is holding her mouth open and drooling excessively, they tell me her teeth look good and they don't see anything unusual except an area in her mouth with some puss.they do bloodwork And send her home . A few weeks later my cat gets worse , I make an appointment they tell me do not feed her in case we need to sedate her to do X-rays. Ok they see my cat again and say the same thing , that nothing unusual . But that it's a good idea to do X-rays only they don't have the time to do them and I'd need to wait at-least a week before they have time to do the X-rays.. so basically I brought her in for no reason , waste of time . Then they Never call me back to schedule an appointment for my cat . It's now 4 days later and no phone call . I call them and ask why are they not calling me . the answer is ohh the veterinarian that does the X-rays hasn't come in yet. Meanwhile my cat is suffering tongue sticking out , drooling and now after all that I need to find another veterinarian. Very disappointed. Not professional . read more

This is a family owned business, which I really love, because you can tell they really care. The staff is always warm, and responsive to my pets needs. They have treated both my cat & dog for years, & nursed both back to full health after a couple of serious problems. Thinking our lethargic cat Reggie was dying, we immediately called Dr. Petit, who told us to come in immediately! Turns out he had a possible urethral stone which was easily treated with a urinary catheter, I believe, and an IV. They kept him overnight, then for several days after(I'm not sure they keep pets overnight now), then recommended the right foods for him. He's been well ever since. I won't take my animals anywhere else for their care. read more

My family has had multiple issues with this Vet clinic. Their professionalism and the way they interact with customers is disgusting. It was not just a one time thing either it happened twice. When I made a comment about it on their Facebook page the owner called and told me how offended he was that I would say things about his amazing business. All I wanted was a heart felt apology from the owner. When I was able to speak and express my concerns he then said, I'm kinda worried what type of vet care your dogs do get since you only bring me dead ones. I tried to explain that our vet did not provide this service that he had. He told me that if I continue to spread lies (even though he acknowledged both events that took place) he would seek legal means. I do not recommend this place to anyone! I didn't put details on the events for a reason, just wanted people to have this review. read more

Doc Pettit, his wife Carolyn and their staff are the absolute best. We've taken our animals here for over 10 years for everything and always get the best care. Whether it's a simple nail trim, vaccinations or major surgery, they're fair, honest and professional - and they truly care! The compassion we encountered here when it came time to put our 13 year old bulldog to sleep was the most heartwarming thing I've ever encountered with anyone outside of my immediate family and close personal friends. I honestly cannot speak more highly of this practice. read more

If you care for your animal then I highly suggest you avoid this place especially for boarding. I had my 13 yr 5 lb Yorkie boarded for 4days and 3nights. I had requested a luxury board which included more attention and care. They were left emergency contact numbers in case there was an issue. When I went to pick her up I was informed that she was moved to a basic kennel that appeared to be for stray animals because they could not handle her. She was cowering in her bed and didn't move until I went to grab her. When I picked her up I realized how stressed and thin she had gotten. They never contacted me or any of the contacts I left so that she could have been picked up and taken away from that environment! I was livid! Also, I brought Fresh refrigerated Dog food and when I asked for the remainder it was almost Full . Apparently they just threw her in a corner and left her with a bowl of old uneaten food. When I took her home she devoured a bowl of fresh food and drank a bowl of water ! I understand that dogs get stressed but she has been boarded before without problems. In addition I sent an email requesting that they contact me explaining why I wasn't contacted and Dr Petticote the RUDE man that he is called me and basically talked over me and stated that he was not going to chance his employees getting hurt by a miniature Yorky! Wow ! He was rude and raised his voice telling me that my dog should not be boarded?? Wow He or his workers never called to ask us to pick her up! Maybe because he threw her in a BASIC kennel and forgot about her until I was charged for services I didn't ask for. According to him the dog was moved 3x and it started the same day I dropped her off. Wow issues on the first day and no calls ?? Petticote Vetinary Clinic is a Sham and a Joke ! Never again! He was basically concerned with money more than the animal! read more

Avoid!!! it's all about money and unnecessary test and meds!!!!!!! I took my Shih-tzu there for labored breathing concerns. Not only was he misdiagnosed and charged a lot of unnecessary money for lungs X-rays, blood test to see what antibiotics he's resistant to...all for nothing .... And I was told verbatim by Dr. that owns the clinic, that his breathing was due to old age and the breed and that maybe the antibiotic he told us to give him would also help with his breathing.....Keep in mind I've had my dog for 12 years and I know when something is off with his breathing .........fast forward a month later breathing wasn't better and we took him to Red Bank Veterinary clinic where he was diagnosed with nose carcinoma. Red Bank is expensive but worth every penny! all doctors and staff there, are well trained and know what they are doing talking about not to mention polite! Had we waited longer the lump/tumor growing in his nose would've constricted his nostrils and he would've suffocated. Wasted money with Peticote that could've been put towards my dog's oncology treatment! We trust these vets with our pets and yet everything is about money.....be careful where you take your pet! read more

I'm middle of the road with Doc Pettit. He's been there when I needed him but I have had concerns as well. I concer with one of the other posts that there is now an attitude issue at this business, I've experienced it a lot in the past 2 years and I'm a 20 year customer. What I've learned is 1) check your bill. I've been over billed on more than one occasion, sometimes twice for the same procedure on the same bill; 2) before going through with any procedure ask for pricing. A routine X-ray of a foot with 2 views was over $200 more with Pettit than a local animal hospital's price; 3) This next point is true of any vet office (a vet actually told me to do this) - get a script for a prescription and shop for price, especially if it's an antibiotic. Every time I go to Walmart for my pet's meds they're normal pricing beats out the vet and a local grocery store pharmacy. My last encounter was paying $33.50 for an antibiotic (Pettit) only to find out that Walmart sold it for $9 (Walmart has antibiotics that are $4 and some are free - depends on how long the product has been on the market). The local grocery store wanted $150.00 for a months worth of K-9 thyroid meds and Walmart charges me $20....go figure. If you're told the med needs to be compounded, check with Walmart anyway. I did and it payed off. 4) Just like our medical doctors, vetenarians have their speciality areas. I'm not talking specialists, I'm talking vet #1 does skin issues very well, vet #2 does ears incredibly well, vet #3 has very reasonable prices for teeth cleaning, and vet #4 has good pricing for spay/neuter work. If all these vets are at the same practice you've hit gold. I'm trying really hard to stick with Pettit but I feel as if I'm being pushed out. I do ask questions, I will do my research, and I do challenge billing if I feel it is in error....sometimes people don't like that but in the end I have to be financially responsible while balancing that with proper care of my pets. read more

Fantastic and caring people. Always friendly and thorough. Dr Pettit and staff are the best!!!

This vet is truly family. I had a 15 year old black lab who recently passed away on Monday. If it wasn't for this vet I wouldnt of had him that long. They've saved his life numerous times and I could never repay them for the way they helped Bryce. They are always honest with me even when I don't want to hear it. They truly love all the animals they care for and they worked with me with payments. They value the animal health first and foremost. I cannot thank them nor recommend them enough. Everyone I know who has a pet i refer to them. They are all beautiful people and they they took excellent care of Bryce up until his last breath. I cannot say anything but wonderful things about them. If you want a good vet who will care for your dog as if it were their own this is your vet. My dog has been through through three surgeries in the past 5 years and they saved his life every single time. They are the reason I got to spend 15 years with him and for that I will forever love and appreciate them. read more
