  • ""I could not have asked for a better place. Sadly I had to put down our dog last weekend. The treatment I got and my puppy got was over the top amazing. It's not an easy thing to put your pet down. Having amazing customer service is always a good thing but here they actually care! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything!""

  • ""We found our new fav. Vet!! The first time I met Dr. Stiles I right away had a good feeling she gave my father and I a warm welcome and introduced herself. She took a look at our pregnant female and after examining her she told us the problem and was 100 percent correct. She could have taken advantage of us and gave us the run around but she didn't. She is honest and trustworthy. We had another concern with a puppy and again very honest with her answers and did not try and rip us off or stress out the puppy in any way. I will be telling everyone about Dr. Stiles at rancho vet!!! Thank you for everything you do.""
