When my cat became sick and her regular Vet could not see her, I started calling around to find a Vet that could see her. I found SunShine Animal Hospital and they had an opening the same day.

Nice clinic, but prices I feel are quite expensive. They charge for everything, such as anal glands which isn't included with bathing where other groomers do.

The Dr is wonderful and so were 2/3 staff members I encountered. However, one of the front desk girls attitude was really off putting. First she asked if we were military but told me my active duty husband had to be there and I couldn’t use my spouse ID. The other front desk… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
I have never seen a veterinarian or vet techs handle animals as lovingly as they did, we went from stopping in for an emergency situation with 1 animal jumping out of a car window (which they handled amazingly btw and she has fully recovered, see pic) to taking all of our pets… Read the full review on Google (opens in new tab)
