My shepherd was showing signs of a UTI, and when I contacted GAC, they got us in quickly. When they got back the lab results, my vet (who had the day off!) called me right away to discuss the results and to see how my dog was doing. I have always had quality, professional service here, and even more importantly, my…

I’ve been going to Governor Animal Clinic for at least 20 years. Dr. Julie Sorenson has taken care of all our dogs throughout their lives.

Governor's animal clinic is amazing! After almost 2 weeks of my dog not eating and barely leaving the bed once a day I was ready to give up on my companion of 8 years. I had seen over 7 vets over the course of a year with a ton of money spent and no answers. I went to Governor after I received a referral from…

I’ve had many dogs and cats in my life. Over the years my pets have been treated at many different veterinary clinics. We’ve been going to Governor Animal Clinic for many years. My pets have received top notch care, even with hard to diagnose problems. The vets and staff are everything you hope you’ll find when you’re looking for help for your pets.

We had our first Vet visit for our newly adopted dog, Belle. Governor Animal Clinic came highly recommended. It was a great experience for both of us. Our Vet Dr. Stevens is wicked smart, professional and loves her job. Belle approved 10 out of 10. We are happy.
