Outstanding establishment for emergency care for your fur babies! Our sweet Boxer had to be euthanized due to a condition he had been struggling with for about 8 months. The entire staff from front desk, vet tech’s & doctors were absolutely amazing. Very understanding, prompt & caring! We hope to not have to revisit them but certainly will if need be! Thank you for being there in one of our darkest days 💕

Imagine just moving here with precious Bulldog of 5 years, and suddenly needing a serious work up on her. Our vet at Sandhill referred us to CVETS. The news wasn't good. In fact it was horrific. I've shared my life with many, many, many pets over my 62 years. Saying goodbye is never easy, but it's the last selfless gift that we give to our fur babies. So thankful and appreciative of not only their quick and accurate diagnosis, but their sincere kindness and support during this very difficult time. The entire staff was absolutely wonderful. Can't say enough great things about them.

We had to take our cat Chase here last night after fearing he had a urinary blockage, another one to be exact. He had one 4 years ago so we knew what signs to look for and when I noticed that his pee spots weren't as much as they typically are for him, we called his regular vet for advice and they suggested we take him to CVets so we took him right in. We only waited about an hour before they took him back to look him over, to which they found no blockage! Yay! Dr. Powalie was so sweet and patient while we talked everything over about Chase; what they found, what they could do for him and what they suggest for the future. Overall, the visit was well below what we expected to pay and we're so grateful they he didn't need any procedures done. The facility is gorgeous, very welcoming and cozy, the staff at the front desk were wonderful, easy access to bathrooms and there's even coffee and snacks available in the lobby! I know that no one wants to have their furbabies taken to an ER Vet, but rest assured that your babies are in such goods hands with the staff here! Thank you CVets! 😊🐾

So compassionate and wonderful during a most difficult time. We adopted a senior hospice dog who was very sick. He had multiple issues and we had to make the hard decision to humanely euthanize him. They were so kind and it was a peaceful ending for this guy who had been suffering. Thank you for helping Hugo cross over without pain. 💔

TLDR: Knowledgeable and friendly. Great communication. Felt like they put our girl first and foremost. Fair cost that was as we expected.

We are so grateful for the care our 18 month old puppy received through CVETS. Domino ruptured both of her CCLs and needed a bilateral TPLO. The team was wonderful throughout the process. They worked with us to get her scheduled for her procedure in a timely manner that allowed us to provide the best recovery at home, and they did an excellent job making sure her pain was managed during the short wait for her surgery. We had clear care instructions and a physical therapy plan after her procedure. When she was near her final follow up appointment, she was showing a lot of anxiety about confinement. We were at the end of our rope trying to keep her restricted but engaged. When we called in to see what we could do to ease her anxiety, our surgeon Dr. Lefloche very quickly worked us in to get her follow up that very afternoon and she was cleared to begin working up to normal activity. I loved that they did not just say “here’s more meds” but instead took the time to work her in and see if she was ready for more activity. The staff worked with us as we live about an hour and a half one way from the facility. During and immediately after her procedure there were updates so we knew how she was doing. The cost was fair, and they offer a military discount, which was great. Everyone was knowledgeable and friendly.

As a side note, Domino’s older furry brother Daken would like to say he is personally very displeased with CVETS, because after eight weeks of peace while his little sister was confined, she is now good as new and he would like his quiet back, thank you very much. Now that she can run, jump, and play again, there is no escape.

This review has already gotten super long, and I could keep going, tbh. We are huge CVETS fan and will definitely use them when we need specialty care in the future. As a testament to their great work, all of these pics are of Domino since she was released. One happy doggo!

Thank you, CVETS!

CVETS has taken such great care of my sweet boy. They have been so attentive to his needs and have done an amazing job communicating with us while our dog has undergone chemo. I can tell they truly care about him and his health. I hope no one ever NEEDS to send their furbabies to CVETS, but if they do then they can be sure their babies are in good hands.

My 7 month old puppy got a bone stuck around her lower jaw and I could not get it off. I called CVETS hysterical and LeAnne was amazing and reassuring. I drove an hour and a quarter to get there and they were very quick in getting Tilly in the back. By the time I was finished with the paperwork she was back in my arms.

This place is one of the finest establishments you could ever bring your pet to. My dog became paralyzed and with only minutes to spare he was rushed 45 miles away to CVETs at 1:30am in the morning. The exceptional staff of Techs and Doctors provided immediate care and assessment and explained everything to me. Ultimately my dog had to be put down, but even then, the sympathy shown by staff was fantastic. I highly recommend this animal hospital. (5 ⭐️)
