These folks have always helped my family with our large dogs, and I am going to start bringing my cat to them as well. Every time we've had an emergency they can get us in within an hour or less. They don't dismiss my concerns (or my warnings) about my dogs' anti-social behavior, and they behave accordingly (muzzles available, prepared to be firm but not mean, etc.). My mastiff and German shepherd are actually quite comfortable with their doctor and will tolerate the other doctors, which says a lot for the comfort level the dogs have at this office because I cannot take them to a groomer or a dog park --or sometimes even on a walk--without them panicking or attacking. They recommended the Gentle Leader for my mastiff which has made my life much easier, and they have compassionately treated nine dogs that I have had through my life from puppyhood all the way through their golden (and less-than-golden) days. They can recommend specialists for necessary surgery that they cannot perform (such as spinal surgeries for dogs). Their network and the products that they have available for pet care is extensive. I recommend this hospital to every pet owner who expects their friend to be treated with compassion, care, dignity, and who expects to be treated the same way themselves. I've been to three other vets and have never encountered the level of service or care--or the low cost--as I have at Crows Landing. The small drive from where I live is worth it.
