Dr. Lavallee was excellent at giving my pet hamster Pesto the love, care, and attention she needed! She helped go over the possible causes & solutions to help her feel much better. Dr. Lavallee had a ton of knowledge on hamsters, so I knew my Pesto was in good hands. She provided extra resources and information, going above & beyond. I thank her for helping out in such a stressful time!!!
