Friendly staff. They try to sell you too many extra optional shots and pills and insurances...
Selling parts took so long of my visit there that I forgot about many other things I had in mind to ask doctor about my new puppy. I will probably not going there again if I don't have to.

I'm dog sitting my nieces dog for a few months. Alice was in need of her shots. They transfered her papers from home clinic. They were exceptional! I'd take her back there again!
