My dog Bonnie was at death's door, could not even walk to the car and had to be carried, but with the expert treatment of Dr Bowlin and Dr Solomon she bounced back. She is now eating, walking, even running and swimming!

Brought my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog for a checkup and to bring her shots up to date. Was able to book an appointment on line with my preferred vet the same afternoon!
As I experienced in previous visits, after a small wait, the technician and the veterinarian were excellent with my aging pet and we were able to comfortably discuss her condition and options for future treatments. They go out of their way to make us both very comfortable and able to explore her issues fully! I highly recommend this practice if you are interested in helping you and your aging pet accommodate the issues that come with age and make informed and affordable choices that can meet both your needs!
