Harris animal hospital is very professional, very friendly, and thorough. I have never felt rushed when I'm there speaking to the veterinarian. She is very informative and takes her time to explain any procedure or answer any question that you might have. I would definitely recommend Harris animal hospital.

My sister had to bring her dog there unexpectedly to be put to sleep. I went with her for support. The staff who didn't know the animal were extremely caring and compassionate. Thank you for being so amazing
