APPLE COUNTRY ANIMAL HOSPITAL

We like them. Their responsiveness is awesome. They are just very friendly. Our dog swallowed chocolate one time. We called because we were nervous that he was going to get really sick and they were there right away helping us out. I would recommend them highly. It is easy to get to and easy to get appointments. Sometimes, they will tell you that you should do tests that are costly and sometimes, I wonder if we need all the tests that they recommend sometimes.

I go once every year and sometimes more depending on what my pet business is. I was there probably sometime last year. The cost of service was less than $300. I really like them because they can always fit me in. When I called they will be able to fit me in. There is really nothing that I just like about them.

This visit, like all our visits there (Really - if you didn't love and trust your vet, why would you go back?) was great. We currently have two dogs - one AKC, one rescue - that needed their annual. With recent dog virus outbreaks and owning breeds that are very vaccine sensitive, we found our vet (Dr. Gould) to be a great listener to our concerns - and ready with good answers. In the past they have helped us get previous dogs to the ripe old age of 15+ and 17+ years in a compassionate way. Once a patient with them, just uttering your pet's name (in our experience) gets a recognition response (and no, not for having a history of biting or the like!). They have some nice evening hours; they know when to refer to a specialty hospital. Our fur kids are our kids, and I would go no where else.

Took my cat in for a behavioral issue that has plagued her for over a year. We'd been to vets at two other facilities and had been through behavioral modification, Prozac, dietary changes and a lot of bloodwork workups with no relief. I told the vet at Apple Country that I was ready to consider having her put to sleep since her behavior was so destructive, but I'd considered having her be an outdoor cat. The vet was incredibly compassionate, understanding that this was a difficult decision, but supported having her become an outdoor cat. Now everyone is happier, and the vet didn't try to strongarm me into trying another medication or doing yet another lab workup. That won my confidence and I am sure I'll be taking my pets here for years. They've also been absolutely great with the dog!

The vets and techs at this office have been extremely responsive. They return calls immediately and will fit us in during emergency situations. They treat my pets as if they were their own. They have done their best to find lower cost treatments when available.

I am going to tell you something about this vet. They never call back and their prices are extremely high too. I mean, I am probably actually not going to use them again because they do not return my calls again and again. I have a dog with a problem, so it means a great deal to me that I get called back and that I am communicated with. They are also pricey too.
