I had a lilly scare with my kitten on a Friday (VERY poisonous to cats, which I learned after the fact) and my vet reccommended taking him to Dogwood ASAP so he could have round the clock weekend care. I drove there crying but the vet tech calmed me down and was so kind to both me and my kitten from the moment I walked in. Dr. Abernathy was very calming as well and straightforward. We went over his x-rays together, which helped feeling like I was in the loop through the whole thing. The vet tech let me hug my kitty goodbye before they brought him back for the night. Dr. Abernathy herself even called me later on at night to give me an update which I appreciated! They care and it s so obvious. A job like that I feel like could make someone jaded, but I had an incredible experience and reccommend them to anyone!

EDIT:
Had to bring my poor little guy in AGAIN, about two months later this time at 1AM due to a completely unrelated issue. Cody, the tech at the front, and Dr. Granum were so kind and helpful from the start.
I m genuinely not understanding where all the 1 star reviews are coming from. Vets are expensive, emergency vet care is expensive, but at NO point did I ever feel pressured into getting tests done or that they cared more for my money than my cat. The place is busy frequently, so yes, there is a wait time, but they care about your pets and make it very clear.
