I have trusted our dog’s health care to Grand Avenue Veterinary for our Australian Shepherd for 9 years. They are very helpful, competent, and caring. I would highly recommend them for your pet’s care.

I’ve taken my fur babies here for the last 10 years. They’re fantastic and you can tell they truly love animals!! My cat fur babies don’t always love being there. That being said they don’t like car rides.

We have had four generations of dogs receiving primary care at this clinic. Dr. Robinson and Dr. Wauhob are true professionals. The staff is courteous, kind, and always willing to provide great care and service. I give my highest recommendation!!!

Grand Avenue Veterinary Hospital has been absolutely wonderful. If I need to get my pup in that day- they have always accommodated to meet our needs. Love the friendly staff. They will be our primary care for Rowan.
