"We are so grateful that we took our little dog to Animal Emergency and Specialty Services. All of the doctors, techs and staff were amazing. They treated our fur baby as if she was their own. She got to come home after 2 nights and has been doing wonderful. So thankful this place is available to us."

"My dog Lucy is in the middle of getting getting Chemotherapy treatments there right now. She is alive today because of this. The Dr. and staff here are amazing. I whole heartily recommend this office."

"Dr. Wong preformed surgery on our dog recently, and did an incredible job! Our dog had a quick recovery because of the extremely talented staff. The techs were especially gentle to our nervous dog and took such great care of him before and after the procedure. They were amazing and we highly recommend this clinic!"

- Y H.

"My normal vet was covered up on a Saturday and suggested I take my blue tick to this center for a hematoma on his ear. He encouraged to deal with it immediately. I was concerned taking him to a new vet and when I walked in their door I was quickly met with knowledgeable personnel. The whole time there was about 2 hours and I was kept updated from the cost to the post care he would need. I would recommend anyone to take their pet and I believe they will have the same experience. Thanks to their staff.”

- Steve N.

“My dog had a total ear canal ablation done
here with Dr. Bohling and the surgery team and I am beyond grateful! They stayed late to complete the procedure as it turned out to be more involved than expected due to the chronic condition of her ear. They were very thorough with at home care when she went home and even checked her twice in the following weeks to make sure she was healing properly. Thanks to them she is living out her golden years in comfort. I highly recommend this hospital for your fur babies needs!
