Cons:

  • "They push you to put your dog down, our little one could have been saved."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

  • "I also rarely have trouble getting appointments, even on short notice and even with my crazy schedule."
  • "Having an after-hours option that's in the same practice is great."
