Testimonials

  • “This is such a great vet! I have a rescue dog who was severely abused, and therefore is very afraid of people. All the staff here is so friendly, and patient with her, and clearly they’re good dog people because she will actually take treats from them. That is a first! We also have a new puppy, and they were just wonderful with him! We have officially found our new vet.”

  • “The staff were very caring and helpful. We adopted an "old boy" of 10 years and brought him here for a check up. Come to find out he is in renal failure. :( But with their help and our love, he will live out his last days in a loving home being snuggled instead of being stuck in a shelter. Love our Beau!”

  • “They were great and always have been! I've been going to Dr. Chestnut since I got to Boone with my rats. He's always done such a great with my boys. Then, my kitty Juniper had an accident where she swallowed something. Dr. Palmer took her in without her being a patient yet and fixed her up the next morning. She even did a complimentary x-ray after the fact to check for pneumonia when she lost her voice. Everyone at this clinic is great!”
