This was our first Vetster experience and Dr Tripp was awesome. He provided very thorough explanations about my dog’s condition with a great roadmap to recovery.

LOL, Dr. Tripp is very knowledgeable and helpful. What I thought was the problem is not the problem, but now I have a good handle on what the problem actually is. Now onto healing my dog.

We were so worried about our dog who hasn't been eating or drinking. No one has been able to give us an explanation or help us until today. Hearing from a professional with both veterinary and behavioral insights was exactly what we needed. Thank you!!!

Dr. Rolan helped me so much in the short time we were able to talk. I am going to follow his instructions as well as I possibly can. Looking forward to seeing Carlie grow up right!

Great experience. We were not able to get our dog in to be seen by her regular Dr and I am so glad this service is available. Dr. Tripp was very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Wonderful experience all around.
