Quivira Crossing Veterinary Clinic

Every vet, tech, and front desk person there have been so kind and loving to us and our little Chunky Bear in taking care of him while having kidney failure. They are truly exceptional!! I highly recommend them, and I rarely make recommendations.

My girls have had bad luck with groomers until coming to LVCC. They love their groomer and are no longer afraid of going.

I have used Quivira Crossing for the past several years for their grooming services. I am always greeted with a smile! My groomer Ashley is always happy to see my pup for his grooming appointment and she does an amazing job with him!

I have tried other vets and didn’t experience the welcome and care that I have found at Quivera Crossings. Such a difference to go somewhere that makes my dog and I feel like part of the family

Kelsey does an excellent job with my dog. She has anxiety but always makes Lucy feel relaxed. I appreciate her as a groomer.
