Town & Country Veterinary Hospital

The last time I took my dog to the vet, I was not very happy with their services. When my dog got sick in early May, I did my research on Unilocal and found Town & Country Veterinary Hospital, they had great reviews and I liked the feedback people posted. I scheduled an appointment for my dog to be checked out at their facility and Dr. Petersen and his staff did exactly what has been posted on Unilocal.They are friendly and very caring towards the pets. My Bonnie was comfortable there and was not shaking. They even took a picture of her.
Bonnie had a follow up appointment with Dr. Petersen but didn’t make it to see him again, she was old and died at the end of May, but they were very thoughtful and sent us a sympathy card. I truly recommend taking your pet to them. They are amazing! When I get another dog, I will make sure to establish a new relationship with them.

I have been to a few vets in the SLC area and Dr. Petersen and his staff are absolutely the best. They don’t run unnecessary tests and have even given me advice over the phone without making me come in and pay another office visit fee. The prices are reasonable and they have been there for me again and again, even sending me a personal note when I eventually had to euthanize my cat. My only wish is that they were open on Wednesdays, but with one doctor I understand.

While I was up half the night with a sick dog, I researched the websites and reviews of countless SLC veterinarians. Experience, knowledge, empathy and pricing all played important roles in choosing Town and Country. The staff was incredible the way they took care of Papple (and Papple’s worried mom) Dr. Peterson and Terri were thorough and patient with Papple during his examination, and Heather took her time discussing future nutritional issues with me and answering any questions I had. There was absolutely no up selling (huge turn off in vets) and pricing was very reasonable. So glad I finally found a vet that I feel confident about returning to in the future with our furry family members.

Never had such good service, they treat your pets as their own. Heather is very informative and will listen to all your concerns. Dr. Peterson is efficient and will even draw out diagrams for me. Front desk is patient and will work with my schedule. Worth the money, peace of mind, and a well taken care of pet.

Wow a real veterinarian!
I brought my dog Coco in because his ears were swollen, flaming, and angry for a few weeks and it was not getting better despite regular ear cleaning. Dr. Peterson performed all of the history and physical exam (checking the ears, taking cultures, etc.) inside the patient room. And he did all these procedures in front of me instead of taking my dogs away to the back like many of my previous vets. Furthermore, I was impressed that he did all the procedures himself!
Instead of simply throwing antibiotics at Coco, like many previous vets, he took a good history and a focused physical exam before making his diagnosis. His opinion was that with Coco’s long history of allergies, he was probably having another allergic event and it was not an infection.
It’s coming to end of the week and Coco is doing great. He is currently taking Zymox and Apoquel (new med for dogs with chronic allergies) and the swelling in his ear has come down and he has stopped biting his paws and scratching his belly. Coco is happy, going on hikes, and eating well.
I also brought my dog #2 Dexter in to see the vet because he started scratching his ears. Dr. Peterson looked in his ears with an otoscope and found him to be disease free. And guess what? He didn’t charge me for Dexter’s visit, how generous is that!
These are my first impressions of my one visit to Dr. Peterson’s clinic. I am so relieved to finally have met a wonderful vet and really happy that my dogs have a great doctor!
One last thing: Dr. Peterson came in and took some photos of my dogs. Those photos have been uploaded onto his business website. How cute it that! (

I have been so happy since I switched vets a number of years ago based on a friend’s recommendation. Dr. Peterson and all of the staff do just what is needed, and they do not get into recommending what seem to be «extras» at other vet offices. I like that no-​nonsense approach. Just great vet care.

Seriously the best vet I’ve ever been to! Heather at the front is so sweet as well as the tech, Terry and Dr. Peterson. I travel around a bit and they were very accommodating to my dog and I with his condition so I’m not having to stop in every two-​three weeks. Also best prices I’ve seen! $ 48 for the exam, a 3 month script and great care. Doesn’t get any better. Thank you for your services!

After a few visits, we still continue to like Town & Country; however, one member of their staff does not seem to care as much as the rest. She comes across quite cold and doesn’t always listen to your concerns… stark contrast to the other staff members.

Thank you So Much!!! Dr Peterson saved our dog Aspens life. After seeing two other vets 6 visits with our little weener dog with neck pain, along with 4 prescriptions. Final straw was last Friday, our dog went form being very slow in pain to not moving and screaming in pain all the way to the vet and in the vet. Our vet called Dr Peterson in Salt Lake and he said to bring her down immediately. We got down there he did a thourough neurological exam and had us follow him to the U of U to do a MRI. I was amazed as is MRI tech that he give the animals the exact amount of sedation for the whole 45 min MRI. They found a hernated disc that was really bad to a point of possibly paralyzing if gone untreated. He had us meet him Sat the next day for her to have surgery on her cervical spine. We were a wreck literally at this point. He called us a couple hours later to tell us she is fine and it went good. :) He then called us that eveing to assure us she is doing good and give us a update. We met him Sun afternoon and our dog went from screaming and imobile two days prior to so excited and running around. I have to add that our dog only stays by us but when we picked her up she followed him around in the hospital, I feel she saw his face last when she went into surgery in pain and woke up out of that pain to his face and he is her buddy now too.
Dr Peterson thanks you so much and we love you.

I can’t say enough about Town & Country and their staff. After relocating to SLC I need to find a new vet for my St. Bernard. Like most pet lovers he is like a child to me, albeit a 200lb. stubborn, spoiled rotten child :-)
Knowing he was still stressed from the move they were very patient with him and took the time to let him get comfortable with them before coming at him with needles, etc.
Despite his absolute hatred for having his nails trimmed, they were very patient with him and got the job done.
I felt their prices were very reasonable, and they made sure to give me a rebate form for his heartworm meds, which I otherwise would have never known about.
Overall a great experience, and I am more than comfortable putting them in charge of my little guys well-​being.

Meh is how I’d describe my first experience at Town & Country.
Dr Peterson was nice enough, but I felt that he should have spent a little more time with my dog for the fee that he charged. There was also no follow up call to check up on the condition of my pooch. I will not likely go back.

Wow! Dr. Peterson is amazing… one of the best vets I have ever met. I was able to tour the facility before bringing my dog, and even in an emergency situation where the doc was out of town – my dog was still OK. I called and was referred to his covering Vet, and they saw him as soon as I could drive him there. SERVICE!
