Stateline Animal Clinic

We love our pets! We love to make a big fuss over them, but we like that fuss to be in the form of love and comfort rather than rules and unrealistic expectations. Sometimes we feel like kids in the principal’s office when we go to the vet. Even though our pets are up-​to-​date on vaccinations and are treated like family, some vets just always seem to find something obscure to rant about. Sometimes, mud under my puppy’s nails doesn’t mean I don’t know what a bath is, it just means she discovered a puddle since her bath two days ago.
We are so grateful to have found a vet that makes us feel comfortable and treats our pets with compassion. We first visited Stateline Animal Clinic when we needed to board our pets (a senior dog and a young cat) last minute. No place we were familiar with had an opening. The pets usually stay with Grandma, so I was beyond nervous to leave them behind, but I had no choice so they stayed with the kind folks at Stateline. It was wonderful. They gave us all the information I needed to be comfortable but didn’t complain that we’d waited so long to make a reservation. Then they kept us in the know about how our pets were doing while we were away, but they weren’t overbearing. They met and exceeded every need our pets had. When we picked up our animals they were in great spirits! We knew they had been treated well! Everyone complemented our cat who thinks she’s a dog and said they’d been able to spend time with her in the office. They’d enjoyed her social personality. The fact that they had gotten to know my cat rather than leaving her in a wall of crates while I was away was my first real indication that we were in the right place!
Not too long after that we lost our very, very old lab to old age. She just got too tired to do anything, even eat. It was one of the hardest things our family has ever experienced. Stateline Animal Clinic helped us through it. They treated our dog right and my hysterical husband even better. Though there was very little to do, they reassured us we were doing everything correctly. Then, they just took care of a lot of things we didn’t even want to think about. They went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible in this terrible time.
Now, we’ve adopted a new puppy! We took her in today for the first time. They loved her just as we expected. They asked lots of questions and made several phone calls to find answers we didn’t know. We never once got the idea that we were a hassle or that we should have found out more about the new puppy before we came in. They just took care of everything– and it was so fast!
We have a happy, healthy dog and a plan to go back next time!
