I am just astounded by the care and service my cat and I received here at Magruder-Tab animal…read moreclinic. My cat has been sick by coughing and sneezing for about two years now. I've been seeing another clinic in that time and have spent a lot of money trying to figure out what is wrong with her. I've been told she's healthy, nothing seems wrong, she seems okay. Then they recommend blood samples and other expensive tests to be done. I spent enough money and asked a friend who she takes her animals to. She suggested Magruder. My goodness what a difference. We got her shots and were in and out. Right before I left, as Dr Fedor and I were chatting (I highly recommend her, by the way), I mentioned the coughing and hard sneezing and my cat generally looking unwell. She said well, it's probably feline herpes. You can get meds on Amazon for like $20. So I took that advice. It's been about a month and I have my playful cat back! She looks like she feels so much better. No more sneezing, coughing, hiding, and a lot more rolling around, snuggling, and mischievous fun-loving behavior. I have my cat back. I am so happy and so is she. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this clinic to take your babies to. By the way, their prices are much more affordable. I won't wince the next time I need to get my cat child a check up.

My sister's cat Tiggers had an aural hematoma and she asked for my help since she couldn't afford…read moreto pay to take him to the Vet. When asked where she normally went for vet care, she said Salty Paws near where she lives in Hampton. Since I live in VA Beach, I asked my son to drive the 45mins north to take Tiggers to the vet. Visit #1 on 6 Nov: $500, said needed some shots and flea treatment and to come back 10 Nov. Attempted Visit #2: Major wreck and fire on the 64. Took my son over an hour to drive from VA Beach For Tiggers scheduled appointment and turned away for being FOUR minutes late. FOUR! after an hour drive across town. Told to come back the next day. By the way, I am a Navy healthcare provider and it is preposterous to turn someone away prior to 15minutes past the scheduled appointment time as we take into consideration traffic and travel throughout the Hampton Roads area. Visit #3 11 Nov: another $500 for them to put a straw through his ear, give some more meds and scheduled follow up 2 weeks later. 1 week later and the poor cat is still miserable without any obvious decrease of swelling to his ear. Blood is matted into his fur down the side of his face. So we decide to take him to a local vet in VA Beach. We simply can't wait another week because we're really concerned for the misery of this cat. Being turned away for being 4mins late the last time really ticked me off and I was no longer feeling like I wanted to continue care with Salty Paws at this point. Local Vet takes one look at Tiggers and exclaims: What the HECK is that???!!! Do you mind if we take a picture so we can train our vets on what NOT to do??? The straw that was supposed 'drain' his ear, literally went straight through-- so how the heck was this providing any drainage?? The blood and pus seeped out from around the straw, not through it. And of course another $500 for that visit. Vet pulled out the tube, gave some more meds plus an antibiotic (since Salty Paws didn't give him one despite being at major risk for infection) fully drained the ear, kindly shaved the area where the fur had gotten filled with blood, and then had to stitch up the mangled mess that was done at Salty Paws. The Vet was also incredibly concerned that Salty Paws didn't have any detailed medical documentation about the treatment they provided Tiggers. For human healthcare this would be considered MALPRACTICE. This place felt like they were more concerned with a cash grab than actually improving the health of my cat in swift, compassionate way. Tiggers (now my family cat adopted from my sister) got his stitches out today and is feeling much better.

Outstanding Care and Compassion…read more I can't say enough wonderful things about CARE Emergency Vet in Williamsburg. They were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish and took such incredible care of my sweet Lulu during a very scary time. The staff was kind, patient, and compassionate and not just with Lulu, but with me as well. They explained everything clearly, treated Lulu as if she were their own, and made sure she was comfortable and cared for every step of the way. Dr. Moin was truly a godsend and very thorough. I truly felt like she was in the best possible hands. Emergency visits are always stressful, but their professionalism and warmth made all the difference. I'm so thankful for their quick action, expertise, and genuine love for animals. Williamsburg is lucky to have a place like CARE. Highly recommend to anyone needing emergency veterinary care -- they are simply the best. Especially Dr. Moin!!

CARE is a closer ER vet to me, and the ER vet I have used in the past, but on Tuesday night at 1:30 AM when my dog had been unproductively retching, pacing and licking for over an hour, they were closed. AEC was a 40 minute drive, but worth every minute of that drive. I called ahead to let them know I was coming and the present symptoms. When I arrived, Bear was acting totally normal, but out of precaution (and to save going home and coming right back around) I asked to still have some diagnostics run. AEC was upfront about the high and low end costs (very reasonable compared to past ER visits) and the staff was kind, understanding and informative. Dr. Crist took time to walk me through Bear's radiographs and explain what I was seeing as well as answer all of my lingering questions. As a dog mom to another who has chronic gastritis managed with meds and a prescription diet, I have spent a lot of time discussing the dog digestive tract and GI issues with the regular vet and Dr. ChatGPT. Dr. Crist answered all of my questions with clear, thorough explanations. I didn't get names in the moment, but the three vet techs I interacted with were also kind and knowledgeable, even at 3 am when most normal humans are fast asleep!

I've been bringing my dogs to On Command Dog Training for at least 3 years now. I've had the…read morepleasure of receiving dog training from 7 different trainers (1 was a substitute). Each trainer was extremely professional, knowledgeable and able to effectively communicate the lesson material, corrections to my dogs' behavior, suggestions for additional training, and most importantly, providing me the skills and confidence to continue to train my dog outside of the classroom. Another major, and I mean big deal "major", valued trait about all the On Command Trainers I've had, is their non-stop emphasis on using positive reinforcement to correct a dog's behavior. Personally, I've found that positive reinforcement leaves an open and enthusiastic communication channel between me and my dogs; my dogs don't shut down to training because they are being yelled at, just the opposite, my dogs keep an open mind and are eager to learn new things because they are strongly and positively encouraged to do the right thing. Hey, I'm not saying training can't be frustrating, but I've learned from On Command that negative actions and comments shut your dog down, they loose confidence and, for them, training isn't fun anymore. My experiences with On Command Dog Training have been extremely valuable to enhancing the safety and enjoyment of my life with my dogs. I strongly recommend them.
