        What Pet Parents Say

        Safe Social Distancing

        Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

        Curbside pickup during this time has been a wonderful experience! The process worked quickly and efficiently, and as always, my fur baby and I were greeted with a friendly smile at both drop-off and pick-up. The curbside check-in process was fast and efficient, even with the high level of social distancing mandates that are currently in place.
