We have had a rough two weeks with a very sick baby (dog) and were very pleased with the help we have received so far at Coastal when we made the switch there. The vet as well as the staff have been great to answer questions and provide any help possible.

My baby started having seizures at 5 years old and I called my Vet to get her in on a Monday morning and they said we can get her in at the end of the week. That was not acceptable for me.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about everyone here! From the moment we walk in, we are welcomed with so much kindness, compassion, and genuine care. It means the world to me knowing that Petey is being cared for by people who truly love and care about him. 🐾❤️ Everyone has been so patient, understanding, and reassuring throughout everything we’ve been going through. They take the time to listen to my concerns, answer all of my questions, and make me feel like Petey is just as important to them as he is to me. As a pet parent, it can be incredibly scary and emotional when your fur baby isn’t doing well, and having a team that makes you feel supported and heard means more than I can explain. I am so incredibly thankful we found Coastal Creek Animal Hospital and for the love and care they continue to show Petey. We truly appreciate every single person there! ❤️🐶

He is so lucky to have you, and we’re always here for both of you!

Wait… Luna typed this herself?! So talented! We’re so happy to hear her skin is feeling better and her ear infection is gone. Most importantly, she can finally get back to her favorite activity; uninterrupted naps without the dreaded scrit-scratch! Give Luna some extra belly rubs from us!

My baby started having seizures at 5 years old and I called my Vet to get her in on a Monday morning and they said we can get her in at the end of the week. That was not acceptable for me. I called Coastal Creek and they took us in a few hours later. They called me pretty much every morning after that visit to check on her. Unfortunately, my baby continued to progress very fast and the meds just were not working and I had to make the decision to let her go. I am so blessed to have been able to take her to see Dr. Mack, she was so loving and truly cared about my baby. The entire staff was amazing.

Response from the owner · 2 months ago

Thank you for your incredibly kind words. We know how difficult it was to say goodbye to sweet Nikita, and we’re honored you trusted Dr. Mack and our team to be there for her. She was clearly so loved, and we’re grateful we could provide her with the care and compassion she deserved. ❤️
