Why Pet Parents Love Us

"I want to thank everyone at Center Veterinary Clinic who helped us this past weekend when we walked in without an appointment after our dog had been bitten by an unleashed dog. The staff immediately cared for my dog. The communication prior to procedure and the call by Dr. Boitnott and with the vet tech was detailed, specific and easy to understand. I had full confidence in my dog going under the anesthesia since the communication was so caring and supportive. Dr. Boitnott did an amazing job! Dr. Boitnott was caring, not rushed and you can tell she loves her work and animals. The front desk staff was also fantastic and helpful with any questions I had. I am so grateful that we have had the pleasure to have such amazing consistent care over the past 8 years at Center Veterinary Clinic! Thank you to everyone!"

"My sweet sugar bear has about every issue you can possibly imagine and we have bounced around a few vets. Dr.boitnott is out of this world! The vet techs and staff like Monet, truly do an amazing job making you feel welcome and assured that you’re in the right spot to make sure your best friend is taken care of."

Braden

"I have been taking both my dogs Luna and Leo to Center Vet for quite some time and I am so happy with the care my dog Luna received for her dental cleaning. I was very worried about having her dental procedure done because she had to go under anesthesia but center vet updated me multiple times and kept me in the loop the whole time. There were no surprise charges and the doctor who performed the cleaning did so well. Luna’s teeth has never looked this good and I am so thankful to everyone at center vet."

"My wife and I discovered Center Veterinary Clinic via Google because our senior cat needed to be seen. We’re SO GLAD we found CVC!! We learned and signed up for a pet plan that lowers costs throughout the year which makes things more affordable. They are professional, knowledgeable, and best of all: they really care (you can feel it)! We’re really happy with CVC and highly recommend them for you and your fur family! 👍🙂"

"My dog Hazel and I are relatively new clients to Center Vet. We switched after a referral from a trusted friend and I’m so glad I did. I’ve now taken Hazel in 3 times: once for a scheduled appointment, once for a recheck, and a third time for an urgent care appointment to treat a flesh wound near the eye. Dr. Bigelow was very knowledgeable and took the time to understand my concerns and questions. Dr. Boitnott was so personable and made me feel at ease in a more urgent situation. And the costs are much better to what I was paying at other clinics, which I didn’t LOVE. I’m definitely going to recommend them to all my pet parent friends!"

"Marissa S"

"I was grateful to be to referred to this urgent care for a late night minor emergency with my dog. The staff was professional, friendly, and answered all my questions. They took great care of my small dog and were able to quickly stitch up a laceration. The clinic was incredibly clean as well. Pricing was all agreed upon up front, and they removed some medication from the “treatment plan” that I didn’t feel was totally necessary for my pet. Overall I had a great experience, and I would recommend to my friends!"
