Lora L.

“Love Dr. Flores. She has always gone above what is necessary when treating my animals (horses, cattle, pigs, cats, and our dogs). Can’t say enough good things about the tech, and the boarding facilities are amazing. The same goes for the girls over at the boarding facilities; they treat your pet like they are theirs. They should get 10 stars!!”

Brie G.

“This place is awesome! My little dog is normally either super shy or barks at people. But the tech and vet were so kind to her, and she was wagging her tail when they would come back into the room! She didn’t even get upset about being held for her shots! Everyone was so kind!”

Shannon V.

“Very nice, clean vet. The people there were extremely nice and helpful. Thank you so much for taking care of our Cookie! The prices were great; definitely would go back!”
