Holistic Pet Care is truly a special place. In the 18 months since my first visit, I found each staff member to be a pleasure to deal with. They have the smartest, kindest, most compassionate vets and the office staff and vet techs are also so sweet and kind. Dr. Hirsch and Dr. Sathish helped my Sparky have an amazing quality of life until the very end. He knew he was loved by all of you! For this, my family and I are so grateful and we wish Holistic Pet Care continued success for many years to come! Thanks for caring for our fur baby like he was your own. <3 <3 <3

After a terrible experience with another vet, we brought in our 10 week old kitten to Holistic Pet Care after her conditioned worsened (upper respiratory infection). The care we received is worlds away from the horrible experience we had at the other vet. This office was so attentive, listened to all our concerns, and talked us through all the questions we had. After some proper antibiotics, our kitten is doing so well just 3 days later. I’m so grateful for the staff and for the flexibility of having open appointments available that works with peoples schedules. I’m so happy that we found our kittens new vet!
