Testimonial

  • "We just switched to salem today. Our wgs is very skittish and the vet tech and doctor were beyond amazing with her. She came home very happy even after being poked and prodded. I was very happy with the treatment plan the doctor presented and they did so in a way that works for our budget. I look forward to using them in the future. I highly recommended them!"
