Dr. Uhlein has genuine concern for my pup. Whether we have a visit at an emergency hospital, a specialty vet, or bloodwork appointment with a tech, Dr. Uhlein takes the time to learn what is going on. We feel she partners with us and provides support. Myko could not receive better care.

Dr Forward has been our primary vet at Whole Pet Vet. She and her techs have been awesome with our senior dogs giving us alternative solutions when prescription medicine was not the best option or was not working. One of my dogs has since passed away. Our other one has some complex medical issues that Dr Forward has been working through with us. I really appreciate that she and the staff care enough about my dogs to call or text me to check in on them especially when they’re going through a rough situation or a major change in their treatment.
