Testimonials

Our clients have consistently expressed their gratitude and satisfaction with the level of care and service they have received at Tara Animal Hospital. Here are a few testimonials from our valued clients:

"Tara has been my family vet for decades and will remain my family's vet for future decades. We had to euthanize our beloved dog of 15 years because of her poor quality of life due to old age and the veterinarian cried right along with the family as we all watched her take her last breath. Thank you, Tara, for your tender hearts." - Google Reviewer

"I love the staff at Tara Animal Hospital. They always treat my animals like their own. Everyone from the ladies at the front to the vets have such pleasant personalities. I had a few emergences with my pets, today with my cat Puddin, and they always get us right in. One thing I appreciate is that I'm never rushed. The vets always take the time to thoroughly explain my pet's issue and the best course of action." - Facebook Reviewer
