Brought my dog in. Easy to find, excellent wait time and care from staff. Edit: Had to bring my dog in for wheezing which tuned out to be an allergy. Just about gave me a heart attack not giving me informed consent about the cost of a lung xray, exam, cbc and heartworm bloodwork, prednisone and antibiotic over $700. I didn’t ask but I definitely should have been told beforehand. I’ve NEVER been to a vet who didn’t estimate cost BEFORE doing something expensive.Because who has $700 spare dollars these days for a mild illness. Made me sign a promissary note.

I had a terribly terribly sick dog! I spend part of my year in Minnesota and part of my year in Mississippi. My regular vet was not available and I went to Hansboro pet hospital with my dog. We were lucky enough to be seen on a walk in basis. I honestly can't thank them enough for everything they did. My dog had ingested something that was causing him extreme distress. They did X-rays barium and ivy 12 hours later he was so much better! 72 hours later he was feeling more like himself. I honestly can't thank them for enough for everything they did for us! They also soothed my soul when I was so worried about my spirit animal.

Our fury girl was having issues adjusting to the climate in Mississippi. I called and was able to get her in right away. Our girl loved the technician and liked her doctor. I say only liked bc the tech gave her treats...so she loved her. They gave her meds and said if she wasn't better in a couple of days to bring her back. The staff here are welcoming and competent. When we return, this will be our girls vet.

My 15wk old pup had somehow injured himself and was not looking good. They were able to get us in right away. Dr Gaddy was able to pinpoint the source almost immediately and got him xrayed and fixed up with a laser treatment for instant relief. By the time we got home, he was already moving and acting like himself again. She and her staff are just lovely folks and I am glad to have chosen them for my new baby.
