“I recently adopted a senior cat whose previous owner had passed away. When I got him, his eyes were in very bad shape. A friend recommended Autumn Trails as my veterinary service and specifically spoke very highly of Dr. Young. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. Dr. Young was fantastic! With the medication he administered, my cat Zac’s eyes were noticeably better by that same evening. Dr. Young is not only skilled but also such a kind and witty individual. I wish I could remember the technician’s name—she was so caring, gentle, and sweet with Zac. I also really appreciate that this office is open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. That’s a huge plus for me since, somehow, my pets always seem to need care on weekends! I highly recommend Autumn Trails. I was extremely impressed with the entire experience!”
“We lost our sweet Lulu on this past Sunday and despite an emergency surgery and only one vet available , they fit us in. Our dog passed as we arrived and they took her body for cremation but the team treated us and her with respect and gentle understanding. They took the time and provided us with clay paw imprints so we would have a way to remember our sweet girl. We simply cannot thank them enough for their compassion and professionalism for us and our pet!”
“Absolute BEST. Called on Saturday close to 8. They said they could see my dog for infected foot on Sunday and call back at 8 am for an appointment. I just showed up at 8 am and they got her taken care of. The entire staff and vet were friendly, competent, professional and AFFORDABLE. Wish I’d found earlier. We are bringing all 3 of our canines there soon just for check ups and establish a good working relationship. They deserve that and more !”
