My dog Lucy needed to be seen immediately and NVC did not hesitate to take her in. They not only took amazing care of Lucy was also me as I was having a melt down. Thank you Dr. Dykman and the entire team for your loving care with my pup!

We were not clients but they kindly fit us in on the same day to help us with an urgent infection with our puppy. They did thorough testing and were comparable pricing to our vet. They were the only vet in the area that would see us and we appreciate them making the time. It would have been a long drive to the emergency vet with a massive bill if it wasn't for them.

The clinic weighted my puppy incorrectly 2 times. First time it happened affected the type of medication my puppy had to take for ticks (she needed a stronger one). The second time it happened she was weighted 1.4 kgs under her actual weight (she weighted 5kgs on that day). And I was not alerted to the fact that she was losing weight, so it gives me the impression that they do not look at the pets file to see how they are progressing. I am very unhappy. Planning to change vet because of this. Lost trust.

Use to go here for years. Never had problems.
Was told they could see both dogs at 3:40
Waited in the parking lot in the car for over an hour while i watched vet techs go in and out with several other customers. I kept asking them how much longer. They said oh youre next.
Waited another 15 minutes and finally phoned.
Was then told it would still be quite a while like close to another hour as they had an emergency.
Was not told this at all when we showed up.
Great! Thanks for letting me know? I could have rescheduled. All they said was yeah sorry we are too busy to let people know.
Good

The worst vet experience in my entire life. After packing up my very anxious cat and trying to calm her I arrived at the clinic to be told I couldnt go inside with her. Something that was never told to me when booking the appointment. After about 40min waiting they brought my cat inside, I was greeted with a very rude and condescending vet assistant. Total time waiting, over an hour. Rude, uncompassionate staff. Then the kicker, 30$ to trim her nails??? After spending 450$? Without asking consent. Needless to say I will never be back and will certainly warn others.
