If I could give more stars, I would. My recent visits to Durango Animal hospital (three in two weeks) surrounded a serious health condition on my tiny Pom, Cupcake. As a Pom Parent, rather than a dog owner, I was anxious and feared the worst. Dr. Preyor and Dr. McDermott sorted matters out immediately and began treatment for severe breathing issues. This condition involved return appointments for follow up care and monitoring, which reflected the same degree of care, concern and professional excellence all around. The staff on the phone, the front desk check-in, as well as those assisting the doctors were the best. It's frightening to witness a pet in distress, and I can't imagine how frightening it would be had I not had already established a relationship here. The standard of care is as good as it gets!! Better!!
