The staff and doctor were excellent. They' d come out to my car to do the sign-in and take my dog. They returned with my dog and the doctor came out to talk. He was thorough and didn't rush through details of the visit. He didn't try to sell me anything. The whole visit and items I chose to purchase was very reasonable in price compared to other experiences. And my pup did t try to bolt out of the clinic. She seemed comfortable and happy.
We' re so grateful to Carrington Vet and staff.

i moved to this area recently and was going to a vet nearby for my dogs but they weren't really professional with my dogs, i needed an urgent appointment with my dog and they refused while Carrington Animal Hospital gave me a spot the same day even thought they were busy.
100%! recommended.

My experience with Carrington Animal hospital was excellent. As an out of towner I was anxious to find rapid help for my dog who was suddenly ill. I was able to get a next day appointment and had quick diagnosis and treatment. Dr. O'Reilly and his staff were so caring and reassuring. The follow-up too was wonderful with two phone calls checking up on how my dog was feeling. Comforting to know I have a vet nearby when I'm staying in this area!
