What your neighbors say…

They are open 7 days a week and later in the evenings making appointments for those working easy to facilitate. The staff is super nice and caring as well as very professional. Easy to work with and will take the time to answer your questions and care for your pet with the utmost compassion. Glad to have found this vet for my fur baby.
Angela
Everyone there is so caring and loving with the pets. They do an excellent job above and beyond simply fixing the problem, they are so gentle and reassuring.

Their prices are very reasonable too, so important when an emergency strikes our beloved fur babies. We’ve had three emergencies with our dogs over the past nine years and each time CKVC did a fantastic job.

Elizabeth

Excellent customer service and fantastic veterinary care! If you are looking for a vet clinic that provides caring, compassionate, experienced veterinary medicine with the service that is second to none than look no further!

Julie

Amazing clinic, staff and doctors. Easy to get in, super clean, and as I am sure you are aware, the staff can make or break a business. The staff and the docs’ attitudes will ensure that this business is around for the long haul! It was nice to hear the staff and docs ask questions and take a true interest in their client! Well done, very well done!

Denise

It took a few years to find the right vet clinic for my Russian Blue cattery, and this facility is the best in the area. Dr. Tritsch and the other vets and staff do a great job on health care for our cats and kittens!

Diane

I can’t recommend this place enough! They have some of the most caring, encouraging, and professional staff in the business! The weekend hours by appointment are wonderful, and the vets don’t pressure you into unnecessary services! I wouldn’t want to take my pets anywhere else!!

Rachael

Great place for quality veterinary care. This isn’t the least expensive practice in the area but the price is extremely reasonable for the quality of service. I am always able to get appointments quickly and they truly care about your pets quality of life rather then just trying to sell you services. They have all of the latest equipment on-site should your pet require complex treatment.

Theresa

Great for a weekday or weekend experience. The cams are a huge relief, when leaving a fur baby for several days. Ty and Nicole (BOSS Nicole) are fantastic with the animals and very communicative. I am a repeat customer and will continue to trust them with my favorite kiddo.

Jay

We’ve been clients since our first dog in 1993. Other vets may be less expensive but I feel they care about my pets and that is worth more than money. I’ve never been pressured into unnecessary procedures or medications. I love Dr. Weakly

Debra

I was need of assistance with a very elderly old pet today. They could not have been more accommodating or sympathetic in my families time of need. If you have pet that are truly family, than you should definitely see this team.

Katie

Though my best friend past away there unexpectedly, I truly believe they tried their best to help him. They have been so sweet and caring about my loss. I recommend them to anyone who is in urgent care for their pets.
