Testimonials

  • "Boone vet is the best! We take our two kittys and two dogs here for routine visits.

    They are always so excited to see our pets, we never have a worry when our pets are in their hands because we know they genuinely care about them.

    Their prices are fantastic, I know they are low but every time I hear what the bill is it’s still lower than my expectation! When we took our puppy in right after we got him we found out that his first exam was free which was awesome.

    Whenever we have a concern or question we can give them a call and get a thought out answer which often ends in an at home fix- they don’t try to get you to come in to get more money out of you like some places I’ve gone to in the past.

    Terrific team of amazing people, I’m glad to have my pets in their hands!"

  • "BVH has been taking care of our animals for many years. They have provided very caring & compassionate services to us, and for that we are so grateful. We had a very hard day yesterday, as our family dog, Lucy, passed away at almost 15 years of age. They were professional & helped us cope with the loss of our beloved girl. They really seem to understand how much our fur babies mean to us. Thank you to all of the staff in working with us through this recent visit, which was very emotional for my entire family."

  • "We had to make the very difficult decision to put our kitty down, and everyone involved at the vet hospital was fantastic. They were honest and kind as they walked us through each step. Also, everything was very affordable, and that just helps make the whole situation less stressful. Thank you, and much love from Coltrane's family."
