I have been here a few times. Both times were very challenging times for me in that, I was there with my family to put down old, sick cats that I had since childhood.

The staff were warm, respectful and professional both times. They welcomed us in and guided us into a spacious, private room where we could spend some last moments with the respective cats, while they processed some paperwork. They offered condolences and communicated clearly about the procedures before guiding us to the lab.

They used 2 injections for our cats, with the first being a pain medication to make the animals calm before the second injection. They made these challenging times a little easier for us and it allowed us to get some closure. The technician informed us that not all veterinarians use 2 injections, which can be quite stressful and discomforting for the animal, which is the last thing you want to see when you are in this situation. Glad that they use 2.

Besides that, there are a number of other services here and lots of other animals if you want to play or adopt.
