I took my foster dog to another vet and had to stick 3x to draw blood. I'd spent 2 months getting this dog's trust and help overcome fears. The Staff and Vet helped ease her anxieties and mine. They were clear, concise and only took one stick. Professional, reasonable, and very compassionate.

Just a quick new statement - they make you feel like your pet is the ONLY one that matters in that moment. Just the most compassionate, sweet doc and staff you can imagine! WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL people there! Takes good care to greet and calm the pet before treating. They were gracious enough to squeeze an appointment in for our dog w/o a scheduled visit to treat his ear infection. Thanks to you all. You're the absolute best!!

Dr. Pellegrin and the whole staff are incredible. I switched from another vet because I wanted a doc who would care about my dog and not just the bottom line and rushing through patients. I found all that and more in Pelican Vet Hospital and I feel like my injured dog will get better now!

The people that work here are AMAZING!! We found them because they do the vouchers for free neutering on cats and now, they are stuck with us. It felt like family from the time we walked in, they answered all of our questions and even when I called back the next day to ask what I am sure were the same questions, they answered with no problem and even were laughing and joking to lighten the mood and again make us feel like family. Way to go Pelican, you have us for life, and I am even bringing our other cat in to join the family as well.
