Emergency Care: Please call our main telephone number for instructions for after-hour emergencies
Microchip Pet Identification: We offer microchip identification as a means of permanent identification for your pet. We use the HomeAgain microchip. Many clients elect to microchip when their animal is spayed or neutered. A tiny microchip, the size of a grain of rice, is implanted between the animal's shoulder blades. This procedure takes just seconds and is relatively painless, and is recommended for companion pets of all species, breeds and ages. Individual numbers are registered in the national database managed by the HomeAgain Pet Recovery Service. When a lost pet (cat, dog, etc.) arrives at a participating animal shelter or veterinarian clinic, a Universal Scanner is used to identify the unique encoded number on the implanted microchip and the owner is identified and contacted immediately.

Comment/Review

F.T. My first visit.. every staff member I interacted with was very pleasant and welcoming. Dr. Wheeler spent a lot more time than I expected (and I'm NOT complaining! ) discussing my 14 yo cat Jack's teeth and easy ways to care for them, kidneys, diet, hyperthyroidism and car sickness. His explanations were thorough, easy to understand and not rushed. Every question I asked was treated respectfully. It was obvious that Dr. Wheeler is very committed to providing the best care possible. I look forward to returning with Jack when he gets his dental work and will bring my other cat, Susie, in when she's due for a checkup.

K.F. Very clean facility, friendly staff upon arrival, thorough exams, family feel. Worth an hour drive! Dr. Gerardi has a passion for animals that is unmatchable and shines through the level of care your pet receives. The techs were very friendly and compassionate! Keep up the amazing work!

J.M. Wonderful vet. She was so great with my Bella. Kind, compassionate, caring. The whole package. Thank you. I feel like my baby will be well taken care of in your hands.

C.L. The compassion and communication of everyone there was outstanding. Dr Wheeler and his staff went above and beyond to make my dog Foxy and I feel comfortable and well cared for. A truly no-fear vet visit, I am grateful to have found you.

C.B. VERY positive experience each and every time I take my two dogs there. They arrive there happy and always leave there the same way which is crucial for a dogs emotional well being. Thank you Dr. Wheeler and his fabulous team for taking such great care of my fur babies!

D.M. Dr. Girardy and the staff are amazing. Dr made us feel so comfortable and never rushed during our appointments. It was a super stressful time thinking my girl possibly had cancer, and we feel extremely taken care of. Looked at in the eyes, felt like family! Thank you all so much for being the best vets office I’ve ever been to! We love you!

D.S. My chihuahua, Beef, had an appointment set for next week. Unfortunately, he injured his paw and I was very concerned about it. I called and asked if anyone at all could look at it, and was accommodated immediately. I am beyond grateful for the quality of care he received. It was easy and convenient to get the prescriptions Beef needed right there at the office. I’m very glad to have my pup in care here.

M.S. The tech and vet were both knowledgeable and very caring. They did a great job making our kitten happily comfortable even through a shot and ear cleaning. Will definitely be taking all pets there from now on.
