Preventive Care
Comprehensive preventive programs protect against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. Customized plans consider pets' lifestyles and risk factors to prevent zoonotic diseases and maintain long-term health.

My rat died after a visit with them. They told me he would be okay with medication but as soon as it was given to him he choked and died.

Kept uninformed the vet assistants are nice but the vets are very pushy and in my opinion and personal experience they shouldve got a little more field experience before receiving their certification. I'm switching vets
