Our Beagle/Dachshund developed a large fatty tumor on his back leg. After trying "home remedies" and getting quotes as high as $4,000 to remove the tumor, a friend recommended Academy West. I took Eddie there for a consultation, the staff was amazing and Dr. Kimmel was very excited to help Eddie live a good life. They quoted between $700 - $1400 for the surgery. I scheduled the surgery as soon as I could and am happy to report, Eddie is doing great and looks like a new dog! I don't live close, but will be sure to always bring my pets there for any reason needed. GREAT PEOPLE WHO CARE!!!!
