After a really bad experience at another vet my hound was aggressive and very anxious. Any attempts at a vet visit were ruined until Dr Howard helped me. She was kind and patient with him and sat on the floor with him for nearly 30 min just letting him wander around. She was able to fix some health issues he had since we weren't able to see a vet in a few years because of the bad experience. She is by far the best vet I have ever been to. I have since taken my senior dog of 13 years to her for pain management and she has been wonderful. I adore her and this office for being so willing to work with a scared and nervous dog. This office isn't the closest vet clinic to my house but I am willing to make the drive because she is so wonderful. I would highly recommend her.
