Everyone I have had contact with has been friendly, helpful and efficient! Especially love the grooming service!
My appointment with Dr. Pooch was wonderful. She took the time to get to know Bailey and built almost instant rapport with him.
I have been taking my pets here for many years and have been very happy with all of my pets care.
We really appreciate the care and kindness from the veterinarians, techs, and front office.
The people are nice. The Vets are completely capable. But I doubt I can return to Hidden Valley. I rent my home and must provide proof of rabies vaccination. It's a $48 shot, so ok, that cost I can handle. Hidden Valley requires annual health visit with vaccination. $400+ total invoice. I can't afford a $400…
Dr Dozier was great with our fur babies. One of our kitties was not a great patient and Dr Dozier took her time with her.

The people are nice. The Vets are completely capable. But I doubt I can return to Hidden Valley. I rent my home and must provide proof of rabies vaccination. It's a $48 shot, so ok, that cost I can handle. Hidden Valley requires annual health visit with vaccination. $400+ total invoice. I can't afford a $400 bill for a $48 need. There are mobile vets that do 3 year vaccinations. I have no choice but to move in that direction next year.
Emjay, we appreciate your kind words about our team and veterinarians, and understand your concern about the cost of an annual visit for rabies vaccination. While we do require an annual exam to maintain a veterinarian-client-patient relationship per the NC Veterinary Medical Board, our exam charge is $85. Anything other than those 2 things can be declined. We understand that vet care can be costly, and we want to respect that and work with you whenever we can. Please let us know how we can assist you in the future. We can provide an estimate for services if requested, and then you and your veterinarian can make the best, most informed plan for Luna's care. We appreciate your trust in us and want to keep it!
Good service, very detailed.hh

Dr Dozier was great with our fur babies. One of our kitties was not a great patient and Dr Dozier took her time with her.
Thank you so much for sending this great feedback. We completely understand we might not be the kitty's favorite place. We're glad Dr. Dozier was able to take her time and get everything taken care of!
