Bark Avenue Animal Hospital

"If you've ever had a bad experience at a veterinary hospital or clinic because the staff people were apathetic or impatient or even rude toward you or your somewhat fuzzier, possibly sick or injured friend that you'd brought to see the doctor, then make Bark Avenue the very next place you bring any of your ailing non-human family members. We've brought three of ours here at this point, and every time we've experienced nothing but kindness, patience and understanding from every person with whom we've interacted. Our recent visit was a bit different than our previous times due to following pandemic protocol, but they got us taken care of quickly and did a great job of treating our kitty for a few injuries she earned by defending her food dish from an obnoxious and very persistent alley cat that just was NOT getting the message that he welcome. The very first time we came here was a few years ago when our Rottie/Aussie Shepherd mix was suffering from what we thought might be some type of food-borne illness. As it turns out, our poor Chloe was in the final stages of bone cancer, which all too quickly took away any decent quality of life from her. The best action we could take to help her would be to euthanize. The procedure was entirely unique, at least to my experience, in that we were all given the option of staying right at Chloe's side throughout the process. Bark Avenue has a special room where, if you choose to, you and your family can sit with and offer gentle comfort to your dog friend as he/she quietly passes. That's a really cool thing to have in place, and is a reflection of the genuine empathy and caring nature of the entire Bark Avenue staff. Thanks to all of them for being awesome!!"
