I've used this vet while a student at Auburn for my senior cat, and they have been great! I love Dr. McElroy, and she is always kind and good with my cat. Due to my cats age, we've made pretty frequent vet visits the past few months, and I'm always able to get an appointment or prescription quickly. I'm not sure how the prices are compared to other vets in the area, but I know my bills are significantly cheaper here than our vet at home.
I also love that they always have a well stocked selection of the Hill's prescription diet. It has been a life saver when I haven't been able to order my cats food on time. I will definitely miss this vet office and Dr. McElroy when we move.

Dr. Smith, Dr. McElroy, Jeanie, and the entire staff are amazing folks. We adopted a senior dog, and AVH helped us take great care of her. They are very responsive to emails, flexible with appointments, and fill prescriptions quickly. They explain things in a way that's easy to understand and offer information on various treatment options. When it was time to let Dobby go, Dr. McElroy was so compassionate and patient with my questions and feelings of uncertainty. They handled the cremation arrangements, got a paw print, and sent a very nice condolence card. All of my future pets will go to AVH.

Report
Our 10 year old 150lb English Mastiff had gotten sick on April 20th. He was blind but, between me & my son we managed to help him get in & out. On that day he had cried out & then after he could not walk. My son & 2 more ppl did get him in the car. & quickly rushed him to Auburn. The staff at Auburn could not have been more professional & knowledgeable on what had happened to our Buck. They explained what options my son had & explained in detail their prognosis. We had to make that decision to let him go. It was the hardest decision we've ever had to make. The staff was wonderful & we highly recommend Auburn if your pet gets ill. Thank you AVH.
