My loving golden therapy dog, Jasmine, is not feeling her best. Tests are out, should know something soon. The critical care she received was fast and I was kept informed. It was a great experience under a bad situation. The Dr and technicians were very caring and comforting to Jasmine and me both.

I brought my dog in tonight for sudden lower limb and back pain after a sketchy jump onto the couch. He was yelping in pain going from lying down to standing.

The Dr and staff were excellent about explaining all procedures & cost t...

I brought my sweet dog, Mochi, to AVECCC, because she was struggling to breathe. When we arrived, I called the number listed, and was quickly greeted by one of the staff members. When I told her what was happening with Mochi, she immediately RAN out to my car, and took Mochi to be treated for critical care. Shortly after, another staff member came to my car, to walk me int...

My 12 week old puppy went into anaphylactic shock from one of her shots. This staff was completely outstanding and amazing at keeping in touch with me and calling me to touch base on how she was doing. She came into their clinic in critical condition, vomiting, covered in hives, face, swollen, and not able to breathe well. They communicated everything to me with ease in a...
