God bless this amazing staff and practice! They saved my huskies life when he accidentally swallowed a foreign object. I was mortified at the initial cost of surgery all the local vets were quoting me and also the possibility of having to put him down. Thankfully I learned of this non-profit practice that keeps the costs affordable. They got him taken care of immediately and he came home with me the same day. Incredibly fortunate and grateful for them. Thank you!!

We are very happy with the service provided by Anicira to spay our kitten. The check in process was very smooth, quick and clear. They took into consideration my comments about our cat's health history, made her comfortable during the time she was at the clinic and provided clear post-surgery care instructions. Our kitty was feeling content, energetic and pain free when we picked her up and is healing very well Quality surgery by experienced vets
