I highly recommend Dr. Linda for this type of service. I had to make the tough decision of letting…read moremy dog go due to cancer, and Dr. Linda was very compassionate and supportive throughout the entire process. She even made an exception to meet me at my house on the weekend to perform the service. My boy was able to cross over Rainbow Bridge in the comfort of my loving arms in our home because of her. Dr. Linda took the time to console me before, during, and afterward, and she never once made me feel rushed. Also, she was kind enough to follow-up with a greeting card that I received within a few days. Thank you for everything, Dr. Linda--my boy's last few moments on Earth were happy and peaceful because of you!

It felt like having a long-lost friend in the room; she even sat on the floor with us to say goodbye to my 18-year-old Maddie. I was especially grateful for her specialized approach for cats she uses a gentle, sting-free method that made the process peaceful. Cats are known to hold on and suffer longer than they should, and without her, I know Maddie would have continued to struggle, and I would have been heartbroken watching it. She saved us both from unnecessary trauma. If you need someone who is spectacular, easy to be around, and truly understands the bond we have with our pets, she is the one to call."

We have had across the board experiences with local groomers - from "Don't bring her back," to "must have strong medication." I liked the last groomer personally but Mia never looked as nice as I thought she could look. Her face hair was always left long and her eyes disappeared. Her tail was left ungroomed. Sally, of 'For pets Only', took her in, and must have quite a way with animals. Mia had only half of her medication and did great. Mia has never looked better! We have finally found our groomer!

I think these vets are ok. They definitely have helped me in emergency situations. The only thing I…read moredon't like is the tone can be condescending from the vets and like many other vet clinics recommend hills and purina. Certified dog nutritionist backed food? Maybe. But have you actually read the ingredients? Do you know that if you were to do a little research you'd find those dog and cat food options are some of the absolute worst? Corn, wheat and byproducts. Highly processed and very inflammatory. Please go outside the indoctrination box. Kibble is so bad in itself but these dog food companies should be condemned. Thank you for taking care of my animals when I needed you. I discovered a much better option for my cat with crystals in his bladder and he tested negative for crystals recently. Took him to another vet and she said to keep doing what Im doing. Urine acidifier and low phosphorus wet food. Weruva for the win.

I called around to other veterinarian offices and no one was willing to give my cat medication for her anxiety to get her to her appointment but when I called BGV, they were so nice and had the idea of requesting my cats records from her previous vet so that way she can be prescribed anxiety meds for her first visit appointment which I truly appreciate so much. The staff was super welcoming and answered all my silly questions. The dr I had, I believe dr Jill (?), was super friendly and helpful! The vet nurse Catherine was also very nice and helpful. Would recommend this place.

Dr Mikhaela is the only reason my circus is still running! She is the definition of professional--competent, incredibly thorough, and remarkably responsive when things go sideways. We have presented her with some truly "unique" and bizarre animal emergencies, and she handles every strange circumstance with total grace (and zero judgment). It is rare to find someone who is as brilliant as she is kind, and she takes wonderful care of every creature on my property. My animals are healthy and I am much calmer knowing she's only a call away. If you want the best for your four-legged family, look no further!

I recently had the vet come out on a horse call. I had…read morespoke. To her letting her know we're the injury was and what it was. She proceed coming out and doing a very brief physical exam 2 to 4 minutes at 50 bucks . Then proceeded to say the area of injury she had concerns about it being in the joint . Then said she does not irrigate or flush in the field and proceed to do a coding scrub for a few minutes that cost a additional 60 bucks then suggesting going to a vet that had a clinic who who could do proper testing and flushing. I appreciate the input to go somewhere else but feel that if the vet does not treat in the field that should be conveyed up front so the clie t doesn't waste money ect. Seemed like a very nice person but I would not recommend for a horse vet.

When it was time to say goodbye to our beloved elderly dog, Simon, she treated him with incredible kindness, dignity, and care.

Dr. Stacy explained everything clearly, answered our questions with patience, and made sure Simon felt no pain. He passed peacefully and gently, which was the greatest gift we could have asked for. Losing a pet is heartbreaking, but Dr. Stacy's compassion and professionalism brought us so much comfort.

Sally Welch, the owner and kitty-caretaker extraordinaire, was a great help in organizing Billy's adjustment to my home, allowing me to foster him first to make sure he got along well with my spazzy little female, Knuckles.

Billy is such a butterball of love; I don't know what Knuckles and I would do without him! Sally does this work completely from the heart, and I am very glad to have supported this organization. Seriously consider this source for your new family member! (They have some bunnies, now, too!)
