I've been taking my dog to Alford Ave since he was a puppy. At first it was their location that attracted me to them, but after the several happy years of care I don't want to take him anywhere else! My dog has been treated by all three vets and they're all wonderful and very attentive to their patients and patients' "parents."
Today, Dr. Burke and all techs who helped with my dog's treatment each took time to make sure my buddy was as comfortable as possible before each procedure. We went home with clear instructions for the medication and treatments he needs to feel better. Love Alford Ave vet folks :)

It was quick, pretty affordable. The veterinarian took time to address all of my concerns.
All the staff is very friendly. Also, I don't
like to pay top dollars for the decor and designers waiting room,as it is the case in many clinics.
There, you feel at home and get great service.

She has a growth in her mouth.  The doctor I took her to originally just looked in her mouth, said it was bad and told me she would be dead in a few weeks.  The doctor at Alford Avenue took the time to pet my friend to alleviate stress before he examined her.  He put his fingers in her mouth and actually examined the growth.  Unfortunately, he confirmed that the growth will kill my friend.  It will make it harder and harder to eat and eventually harder to breathe.  The things I liked about him though are that he was interested in making my friend as comfortable as possible now and in the future.  He asked me to come back in a month to see how much the growth had grown and to weigh her to see if she has lost any weight.  I appreciated him wanting to be involved in the last stages of my friend's life with me.

The Vet said it would never heal and therefore would never fly.  We prepared to have it live with us.  Unfortunately about two months later after buying an outdoor enclosure for "Pige" a neighborhood dog broke into the cage and killed him.

I love the hospitable services my dog gets when I take her to Alford's. You can definitely see from the very start that every person in that place is a true animal lover which says a lot about the company. They are very clean and offer many different services which can also come in very handy. I do wish they did not charge so much, but then again you pay for what you get.
