Dr. Capuzzi accurately diagnosed and treated our dog with exceptional care. She explained the condition clearly and promptly called in the prescription so we could get it as quickly as possible. In the meantime, she provided helpful guidance on how to manage the condition without worsening it and offered clear instructions on how to maintain our dog’s health after recovery.

Dr. Joan Capuzzi was incredible to work with. She took time to listen to me and provided thorough answers and guidance on how to care for my sick puppy. I just joined Vetster today because it is a partner with my dogs pet insurance & I didn’t expect it to be so great. Thank you!!
