They've always been very helpful - of course, they get paid for it, so you can't blame them - but they've always gone above and beyond to do the job, too.\n\nMost places will give you decent service, but the staff at the clinic always recognizes our pets by name after just visit or two, and when we recently had to put our oldest dog to sleep, several of the long-time employees, who had worked with him for years, recognized him and seemed to be genuinely sad. They even made up a doggie-blizzard for him, with kibbles and ice cream. It was pretty cool (no pun intended).\n\nI would suggest making an appointment rather than walking in if you can, because it will get you to the front of the line, where if you just walk in you get at the back of the line, but that's not always possible."^^ . .
