REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
I moved to the area a year ago and was nervous about finding a new vet. Every interaction with all of the staff has been great every time. The office is clean and nicely decorated. The vet techs and front desk staff remember my dog’s name which makes me feel very welcomed and secure in taking him here. Today I took him in for a grooming and Ms. Rebecca is always a sweetheart and always does her best when my pup can be hard to handle. I appreciate her and the staff so much. Thank you Tails-a-Waggin team!

I called and spoke to Joan. My older kitty was having a horrible skin reaction to fleas. She graciously listened to my concerns including finances. I came in for our appointment with Angel two days later. I was so worried that she would have to sit in lobby with other pets but we got a room immediately. Nathan took great care in getting a pill down her and explaining home care. Dr. Mercado was lovely and offered me options for treatments and costs. Sally made sure I understood any future costs. Very friendly, knowledgeable and caring staff!!
