Because they are the best when it comes down to taking care of your pets needs. Also they are reasonable and very courteous and professional and caring.

I was told my pet would "probably be better" in a few days. He died in agonizing pain the next day. I would've rather known initially how bad the injury was so I could've humanely euthanized my pet. I feel that he wasn't looked over sufficiently during the examination. I was reassured he didn't need an x-ray as the damage wasn't severe. apparently it was. 

Business response:

We are very sorry to hear of your recent loss. His passing was very unexpected, based on the full physical exam he had 24 hours prior. We have reached out to you to offer our condolences. If you have any further questions, please contact our hospital.

These folks are absolutely amazing! They cared for my chinchilla and helped him bounce back from a nasty infection, and were so kind and gentle with him throughout the process. The care they provide is second to none, and their prices are fantastic. They truly love and care about the animals and people they serve. You will not find better medical care for exotics anywhere. Highly, highly recommended!

So grateful for you guys for taking care of Quilliam, my little hedgehog, for almost 5 years. He passed 1 week before his 5th birthday. He was in his last hours of his little life when I quickly called and you guys fit me in ASAP to be able to put him to rest peacefully without anymore suffering. I even received a thinking of you card in the mail a few days after he passed away. Keep up the compassionate & awesome work for our pets and spikey fur babies in the NOLA area, we really really appreciate it so much especially duri... read more
