Caring to both humans and our furbabies alike. This vet practice is a keeper. Everyone we've come in contact with from reception to the techs and including the vets have been kind and compassionate. They were able to schedule us in for a new patient urgent care (not emergency) visit and procedure. Having the option to wait in the car to minimize pet discomfort is such a simple but well thought option. Electronic signatures and document reviews are a plus. I absolutely recommend this practice, your pets will thank you!
I have taken my dogs to Barker Animal Hospital for years and they have always received the best care. The practice is fear free and everyone is compassionate, gentle and friendly. I particularly appreciate that the waiting room is not packed with anxious pets. BAH is excellent in managing arrivals and departures to avoid stress. The vets and techs are calm and gentle when examining my nervous Cavalier. He’s a challenge and I appreciate their concern. I highly recommend this practice.
The folks at Barker’s have been such a gift for our family! Our 11 year old basset, Jabba has received the most genuine and passionate care. (The first time he has actually been happy in a vet office!)
Since trusting Barker’s with Jabba’s care, we have never felt so comfortable with the expertise treatment and care he has received!
Thank you for treating Jabba and our family with such kindness, and thank you for all that you do everyday for our dogs and cats!
*Jabba especially thanks you for all the chicken lunchboxes*
