Both our dogs have had their teeth cleaned here; both came bounding out like nothing happened! Playing, eating, unafraid… pain meds are offered for tough vaccines, like lepto; followup phone calls by staff… this is a first class operation; they care for your pet and for you!

Dr Thompson is GREAT!!!! He’s very knowledgeable, a bit old school who doesn’t just run a million tests for nothing. He gives you OPTIONS for treatment and says we can start with this and go from there. We choose Elk Park over all other vets in town.

Dr. Don took my pooch in as a walk-in and they were able to treat her quickly. Very kind staff, to the point on the issue and so patient with my many questions. Highly recommend.
