We have had to say goodbye (unexpectedly) to two fur babies between in 24 hours. The staff, Dr. Green and Dr. McGinty were beyond amazing (as always). They went out of their way to bring us peace, comfort and to make sure our two babies passed on with love. I am FOREVER grateful to this clinic and will NEVER take our fur babies anywhere else.

Peterson Pet Hospital's technicians, Doctors and receptionists take great care of Indy, our 10 yo mini-Schnauzer. They are caring and competent. We trust their care and highly recommend them.

I'm visiting from another state and was referred to them by my sister. They were amazing and my dog was very comfortable with them. Would recommend to any looking for a great experience to check them out.

Great experience for new puppy exam and info gathering. Vet loves what she does and appears fully devoted to sharing education on various new puppy matters. Price was comparative to other vers in the area but had more extras added to their fee. Staff and overall visit placed me at ease.

They are great with my Rotti. A little pricey, but thorough and make the experience a stress free one.

When my eclectus parrot needed emergency treatment, Dr Conrad saw him within minutes. She spent an amazing amount of time examining him, explaining his condition to me and then again on the phone with my son who is attending college out of state. She was extremely compassionate and kind as she explained our (limited) options. Delivering bad news must be the worst part of her job, but she did so g...  See More

We love love love these vets. There isn't a better place to take the ones you love. They treat your babies just like you would, only better because they spoil them (treats, playing, rubs, down on the ground with them). I wouldn't trust another place as much as this one. Dr. Knutsen has saved my dogs life twice. I tell everyone I meet with fur babies to try this place out. You won't regret it

I was looking for help for my dog during fireworks season. The staff noted that some previous medications made my dog sick, so they steered me to a different type of medication. They made the process very easy.

Had to put my 15 year old dog down and they were wonderful. They saw me coming in door and walked us directly to the room. Nurse was in quickly and they prepped Molly and then brought her back in, along with doctor. The entire process was quick but they didn't rush me out, giving me plenty of time to grieve. Very impressed.

As always they did a great job with my dog Snoopy. Considering he is nervous around other people and won't let them touch his paws. So with that being said we love them they have see both my pom and my Chihuahua pug mix. Thank you guys for being so great
