I loved this, was able to get my dog's a visit, and flea and tick medication, and had all my questions answered. Dr. Ellen Russell was very knowledgeable and kind and helped create a great treatment protocol for my dogs!

Dr. Russell helped me understand what was going on with my cat and helped keep me calm to get my cat the help she needed. She talked me through my options and helped me understand each one. Highly recommend!
