Great vets, great staff, never had anything less than a 100% professional, caring, and positive experience. Wish I could old say the same about my GP, and her office.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) Thank you so much to Dr. Woods and the team for squeezing our 16-year-old Golden Retriever, Marco, in on such short notice for an infection. Dr. Woods and the amazing vet tech (wish I caught her name!) were incredibly compassionate and kind- not just to our old guy, but to us humans as we figured out the best course of action. Marco genuinely loves coming here because everyone treats him like a friend, showering him with treats, water, and endless pets the second he walks in. Thank you for your important, compassionate work. I recommend this clinic to everyone. Keep being amazing!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Happy Tails! From the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel welcome and genuinely cared for, not just as clients, but as pet owners who want the absolute best for our dog. Our new vet was incredibly thorough, patient, and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense, answered all of our questions without rushing us, and made sure our pup was comfortable the entire time. You can tell they truly love what they do, and it shows in how they handle both pets and people. What really stood out was the attention to detail and the level of care. Nothing felt transactional, it felt personal. We left feeling confident, informed, and relieved knowing our dog is in such great hands. If you’re looking for a vet who combines expertise with genuine compassion, Happy Tails is the place to go. Highly recommend!

My dogs are always well cared for and treated well. The doctors listen to all concerns and answer questions to the best of their ability. I only wish I had started coming here sooner.

From the doctor to the staff and everything in between this is hands down the best Vet office
