Oakwood Veterinary Clinic

I started bringing my senior kitty here back in October when she looked like she’d been losing weight. She was diagnosed with hyperthyroid (not uncommon for aging felines). We tried some medications, which she was unfortunately allergic to. I didn’t feel that surgery was an option due to her advanced age. I also tried an herbal remedy. I spoke numerous times with the vets over the course of a couple months while we tried these treatments. They were supportive throughout as well as when I decided to not continue any aggressive treatment and to let it take its course. I was blessed with 6 more months with her.
The last couple of weeks I could see her starting to fail and yesterday, after a steep decline over the weekend, I decided to bring her into the office so we could help her pass. I called at 8 and had an appointment for 2. The receptionist I spoke to on the phone and in the office was lovely. The vet and vet tech were wonderful; extremely supportive and affectionate towards my sweet girl. The «grieving room» was a comfort. After she was given a sedative and then even after she passed I was provided plenty of privacy and all the time I wanted to spend time saying goodbye and holding her. Their good care made a horribly painful situation a little bit easier.

Being a new patience they saw my dog right away. The receptionist was friendly and welcoming. We waited all of 5 minutes before being called in. The nurse was very friendly, as well as the doctor we had. Also didn’t wait long at all for the doctor in the room. Check out was fast and easy. (Preferred for my little anxious dog)
Payment required at time of visit. No billing. You can never escape expensive vets but I thought here was reasonable. $ 45 for a rabies vaccination.
They also have a pretty big turtle in the waiting room! More like a tortoise.
