Moyers Veterinary Hospital

Absolutely the best experience I’ve ever had with a veterinary office. I completely trust Moyers Clinic. I know my girl, Trixi is in good caring hands. Very thankful that I’ve found a veterinarian that I completely trust.

Midvalley Animal Clinic

"I LOVED this place once...THEN, they hurt my dog, and refused to take accountability for it. Overcharged me a large Fee just to pick him up that day and in general. 5, 000.00 and he could barely walk for a month. After 12 years, I pulled my dogs and left. Be careful! They don't really care...
