  • Helen Manners

Our Great Dane needed a fairly complicated eye surgery on both eyes. All staff at ophthalmology department took an amazing care of her. The surgery went very well. Our Dane can see properly for the first time since she was born. It is an incredible experience to be a part of a new chapter in her life thanks to GCVS.

  • Kirby Deal

The staff here is very friendly and professional. We came in during emergency hours for my cat and the staff absolutely loved him and kept our spirits high during a very stressful time. They took great care of him and were thorough with their exams and treatment. So glad they were able to help our kitty.

  • Nikki Miller

Great service and care from the ER staff. They were compassionate, explained things thoroughly, and I was updated every step of the way. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them, and I feel she was well diagnosed and cared for. I would return for care here if needed.

My aging dog is at the point where lots of things go wrong. Dr Hudson examined her eye and provided a detailed assessment. We agreed a plan to address that should keep her comfortable during her last weeks. I found the staff to be compassionate and highly qualified.

My dog was seen for a mineral bath due to a skin condition. When they picked him up they told me it may be awhile before he could be treated. I explained that he gets anxious in a kennel and I could come back when ready for him - I was told
