I took my cat there to have nails trimmed and anal glands extracted. Staff was wonderful. One of them named my cat when she was little. As I adopted her. So glad to find this wonderful office.

I can’t say enough good things about TLC. The level of care is exceptional. The price is extremely fair. They take care of all four of our dogs and even helped diagnose two of them with different issues who had been misdiagnosed in the past! I would use them again and again and I tell everyone about them.

I have a 5 year old Rottweiler. She is my baby girl. She had severe ear infection and all the ladies were so wonderful with her. I can’t thank them enough they were all so loving and caring. And a little 150 pound woman had my rottie loving her by the time it was over. Never been to a vet that was this kind and caring. And loving to not just my dog but every animal that was there. They are the best. From the Dr to all the staff. You’re the best. I finally found a place a feel at peace with taking her there. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ❤️♥️. Roxy(my baby) and Ronda.

I mistakenly ended up at TLC Vet Care due to an emotional mix up on my end thinking my I was going a fur baby. Not only did the staff just roll with it like I was supposed to be there, they didn't even make me feel crazy for not having the right clinic. They seen Husker that day and took the best care of him. He is doing amazing and I know it's because of the care he received at TLC Vet Clinic. Then our other ShihTzu Whiskey ended up having a tumor on the outer part of his eye and they seem us with in 24hrs and now we already have the procedure set up to remove it next week . The staff is friendly, always a friendly smile when you walk in and always nice when you are leaving. In this world of craziness, I really appreciate should a great place with good people!!!
