As with anything of high quality, it comes with a higher price tag...but I would not trust my pets to anyone else for anything except maybe a booster shots, and that is only because I have to drive 270 miles to take my babies to Creature Comforts. When I moved back to Southern California, my boy Buddy, was not feeling well...I had been taking him to a local, highly recommended, vet, but they found nothing. On a trip back to Vegas I boarded him again at CC and they found that he had a life threatening problem, with a few shots and some medication (for life) he is a healthy 13 yo. They even gave me a discount on his bill which included his teeth cleaning, something that is necessary for the health of your pet. If you love your animals like they are your children...I highly suggest that you bring them to Creature Comforts.
