Good for the emergency visit but it's a little sad that they don't know possum have been carrying rabies for 2 years there's a news article about it and even animal control has been warning people.

This was my first visit and with a new puppy. Everyone was so nice and didn't seem rushed. Best vet visit i have taken a pet too in a long time. Glad I gave them a try.

I was really looking forward to our first vet visit, but unfortunately, it was not the positive experience I hoped for. I brought in my new puppy, who came from a pet store, and instead of being supportive or understanding, the staff seemed judgmental about where he came from. The vet kept pointing out that he “lacked confidence” and that I needed to enroll him in puppy classes right away. While I understand that socialization is important, the way it was presented felt more like criticism than advice. I left feeling discouraged rather than reassured or guided. For a first-time visit with a young puppy, I expected a warmer, more encouraging approach. I want what’s best for my puppy, but I wish the staff had shown more empathy and offered constructive guidance instead of making me feel like I was doing something wrong from the start. So I will not be going back.
