Affordable, compassionate, overall top notch establishment. Cared for my dog until it was time to put him down (16 years) then came to the house so my lil guy could fall asleep in his bed. Met me at his office once on a Saturday for an emergency situation for a kitten. This man cares for the animals he treats!

We have been taking our pets to Fort Russell for over twenty years now. We have never had a problem. Mike & his staff are always very friendly & genuinely care for our pets. He has cared for our goats, horses, cats, dogs, birds, & hamsters. He often has lower prices when compared to other area vets. He will not try to talk you into any extras either. In fact, he called me while my dog was getting dental work done to make sure I wanted certain elective things done. They even held my dog afterwards instead of kenneling her bec... read more

I cannot really comment on the actual services performed by this vet since Estelle was rude and NOT sympathetic towards my situation and we were unable to get help for my pets there...
