Best Friends Animal Hospital & Pet Resort

Ive been here several times for my pet rats. The vet is absolutely incredible very gentle with animals he sincerely cares about their well being along with everyone else there! I have so much respect for the people here they do their jobs well while also caring for their individual patients. I wouldn’t take any of my animals to another vet they time and time again blow my mind with their level of knowledge and concern for the animals well being. If you have an exotic pet definitely come here. And if you have any standard pets such as cats dogs… come here. you won’t get your babies better care anywhere else

It is hard to find a good reptile vet. This hospital has the best herp vet we have ever been to, and we do know our herp vets! We have had Tibby our turtle for over 10 years, he is a part of our family! I highly recommend Dr. Craig. It is evident he is extremely passionate about exotic animals care, and he is especially knowledgable about reptiles and amphibs. He spent a great deal of time talking to us and explaining things, and he even followed up our visit with a personal email after he had done some research. How awesome is that?! We will take Tibby back to him for our yearly check-​ups and are so glad he is in our neighborhood!

Best Friends AHPR has certainly been good to me for the two years my pets have been patients. Dr. Craig Staehle treated my baby ball python through months of debilitating illness that eventually took his life. We did literally everything we could, short of surgery that may well have killed him in the process. I was there every other week, and the team showed me the same kindness for my snake as they do for my cats. The entire staff signed a sympathy card when he died, and were nothing but supportive.
My parents take our other pets to Four Paws, but I’ve found Best Friends to be cleaner and more «put together» than Four Paws. They run a tighter ship, and the wait time is never as backed up as I’ve seen other vets get. It’s easy to get an appointment, and they do offer some evening and weekend availability.
I absolutely trust them with my pets’ health and safety, and if I ever needed to board my cats, they’d stay there. If you’re new to the area and need a veterinarian, or if you’ve been wanting to switch, I can’t recommend them highly enough. They’ve been wonderful.
