I have been going to Best Friends Animal Clinic for the past 7 years now. Prior to this I lived in LA. So needless to say I have had my dogs to numerous vets in numerous geographical locations. I CANNOT EVER STRESS HOW WONDERFUL THIS CLINIC IS. Suzanne and Sandy are the absolute best. They really love animals. It is very obvious they do what they do out of sheer passion. They have always guided me about my pets with education and compassion. Yes they are knowledgeable, great with animals and professional yet they are also inexpensive and totally honest. In 2009 my dog Tanqueray was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma and I asked Dr. Suzanne what should I do and she told me; It may be better, due to its location and your dogs age to just let it be.. And that often times with this type of cancer once a dog has surgery sometimes this type of cancer comes back much more aggressively. I did speak to a few other vets and they wanted me to do the surgery which would have entailed removing several of her ribs, moving her diaphragm over and about 6 months in a crate. (she was a 60lb lab/pit mix). And her chances according to them were 50/50 and due to her age (10) she might not survive the surgery. Oh and of course they needed $2500 for the surgery. In November of 2012 I had to put my beautiful dog, Tanqueray, down, after a courageous 3 1/2 year battle with cancer. She was my first dog ever and she was 13 yrs old, needless to say she was my soul mate and it broke my heart. The worst day of my life. My other dog who was 11 at the time had never known life without Tanqueray so I asked Suzanne if I could bring him in to also say good bye to his best friend. She completely agreed. I can never really put into words how compassionate and understanding Suzanne and her assistant Sandy were that horrible day. They made the worst day of my life somewhat bearable. They were down on the floor with us.. Suzanne made sure Tanq was totally comfortable in her last moments, Sandy made sure my other dog was ok while his mom was beyond tears. And we were all in it together. Again I cannot ever put into words how wonderful Suzanne and her assistant Sandy are. I am not a religious person, however if there is such a thing as angels then these two certainly are angels. I cannot recommend this animal clinic enough. THEY TRULY LOVE ANIMALS.
