Dr. Chambers and team were absolutely incredible! We came in with our highly Reactive dog (very difficult patient) after a porcupine incident and they triaged and treated her with amazing care while working/communicating with us. Highly Recommend

I have used the VECC for a long time and I have always been very happy with how they have cared for my animals. Not only the care, but also the fact that they listen to you and respond to help the current situation. I was referred to a different specialist and chose VECC with Dr Lister instead and I’m so happy I did. She explained everything to me and answered all my questions.
