I highly recommend this vet after having been to a number of different vets. All of the staff go above and beyond and they truly care about your furry loved one. I have Dr. Sutherland as a vet; he is so kind and knowledgeable and always take the extra time needed to explain every little detail. I will never go anywhere else.

My mom takes her dog to Baker and highly recommended them so when I got my new puppy I started to go there as well. My puppy was dealing with ongoing stomach issues and the staff and veterinarians were extremely helpful. I felt like I was calling almost everyday for help! They were always extremely nice and helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure my puppy was feeling better. They even call the next day to check up on my puppy which I think is amazing. After a long couple months of stomach issues my puppy is finally feeling better. As a crazy new dog mom the staff and vets always made me feel

I just recently got a new puppy and i was very nervous about bringing bailey (12 week old puppy) to the vet. My family friends referred us to the Baker Animal clinic and our first experience was amazing, the vet called us and talked to us for about 20 mins answering all my questions and the vet technicians were very helpful and extremely nice, take care of animals and love them!! I highly recommend them
