What customers said about large animals
Love my doctor Giles he took care of my old girl at northeast clinic and can continue to with appointments to fit my schedule rather than wait in 3 or 4 hours at the clinic thank you
Raquel Ellis is the very best and went above and beyond for our dog. I am really appreciative of her and her dedicated staff.
Been coming here for a while, always very happy with the care and professional work they do,
Had a wonderful and compassionate experience here at Canutillo Vet Hospital, PLLC. Dr. Saenz was amazing with our bernedoodle for his neuter and microchipping surgery. I have little kids and they even welcomed and accommodated me there as well.
Feel so satisfied after each visit with our Beau. Always thorough answers to our questions and each time learn something new about dogs/pets.
My cat Alley has anxiety. The Vet and staff were very caring. They made up the room special for her needs.
