The first vet we took her to was nice but there was only one doctor there are we had an appointment but waited over an hour to get seen. We went ahead and got her shots there but never went back. The second place we took her was after she hurt her leg and they claimed she needed a splint and all this other stuff and we believed them. However, their front desk lady was always rude and the vet and his staff were immature and I didn't feel that they listened to our concerns....sooooo, we went to yet ANOTHER vet.... Finally, on the recommendation to Pawtropolis, I took Frankie to Shoal Creek....they explained that she never really injured her leg that bad and that the previous vet should have taken x-rays of both legs and they would have noticed that. Also, both vets (Dr. Elder and Dr. Askren) are sooo nice and they explain everything. I feel that the doctors and all the staff truly care about your concerns and your little furry family member's well being. Even though we are getting ready to move to Watkinsville, I will still take my dog and kitties there.

Kyss sent me photos and videos of Ziggy playing and having fun with his new friends - he was having a blast! Kyss was so flexible with my drop off and pick up times. When we got back in town, we unfortunately had to make an unplanned stop on our way home which caused us to postpone Ziggy's pick up until the next morning. Thank goodness it was no problem for Kyss though - she was way cool about it and easily made the adjustment.

I cannot speak highly enough about the care she received.

He could have easily had me do expensive treatments that ultimately may not have provided any better long-term outcome.
