Last month, I had to say goodbye to my dear bunny, Polly. I wasn't an ongoing client here; I only came when it was clear my bunny was ready to go, so I can't speak to anything but that experience. What I can say is that the nurse or vet who assisted me was so kind, patient, and understanding. I had all sorts of fears and complicated emotions around letting Polly go, but they were reassuring and compassionate. After searching and searching for someone who could see my elderly gal, I was so relieved to get assistance that was compassionate and not financially burdensome. Thank you.

A week ago we found out our pup was going to need major surgery. We had several quotes and needless to say I was shocked of the fees. I did research and found Animal House. They are very kind and very knowledgeable. I so appreciate everything they did for our fur baby. Please know that they are well worth the wait.

I have been going to Animal House Veterinary Clinic many years with all of my precious rescued fur babies. (cats and dog) They are the kindest, most caring and wonderful Veterinarian Clinic I have ever been too!! I LOVE ALL of their precious staff - they are like family to me!!! They recently did everything they could to help me with a sick senior kitty that I was having trouble letting go of!!!
They were so concerned and compassionate and showed so much love to both of us. Dr. Herd sat with me and talked to me and loved on her as she went to Heaven. I can not say enough about how well they have taken care of my 4-legged children and I wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Thank you for everything Animal House!!!

I started doing dog rescue 18 years ago and Animal House was the 1st vet I used. How many vets do walk-ins?! Hardly any! A.H. alway have worked with rescues costing cost to save money. Dr. Herd and staff have even volunteered on thier days off to help with Animal Rescue Corps. and local rescues. The location is ideal, they always have enough staff and do a great job on surgeries and treatment.
