All you really need to know about Matthews Animal Clinic is the following: When my newly-rescued dog ate a DVD, thereby breaking it into a hundred super-pointy shards, only some of which were left on the floor, they gave me an immediate appointment and charged me much less than you would think for special tummy medicine and all-day observation. He survived and is doing great (and hasn't chewed a thing since)! Since then I have had no problem getting immediate appointments whenever I need to. It's kind of amazing. It's so easy to do business with them! Two paws up!
