What Our Clients Are Saying

Christopher H.

“I cannot speak highly enough of Russell Veterinary Services and the exceptional care they provided for our 110-pound German Shepherd, Max. From the moment we walked in, it was clear that this clinic goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and their owners feel comfortable, safe, and well-informed. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail truly set them apart.”

April D.

“If you’re looking for quality pet care at a reasonable price, then Russell Veterinary Services is the place to go. They are professional, expedient, and reasonable. I’ve been to all the local vets in the past, but Russell Veterinary Services is now my go-to place of care for all my critters.”

Diane H.

“I’ve been using Dr. Russell’s veterinary services for quite some time now. We have a small farm/homestead with two older horses, two working dogs, one old guard dog, a middle-aged cat, and ‘The Girls’ for eggs. What I like about Dr. Russell is that he’ll do a farm call for a fee and examine our very large working dogs and horses in one visit. Otherwise, we’d have to borrow a horse trailer and drag each of our 3 dogs one at a time.”

Deanna W.

“I have been to this clinic for about a year now, since we moved up here for school. I have brought both of my dogs here for preventative care as well as serious problems requiring surgery. I absolutely love the care both Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Russell provide. They are patient with my dogs, who have anxiety at the vet, and are always willing to spend extra time to answer any questions you may have. All of the staff at this clinic are amazing and are always willing to help. I could not have asked for a better vet for my dogs, and they always bring me peace of mind whenever I have concerns. I cannot thank them enough!”

Alexander W.

“They seem to really care about our pup! We view Delilah as our child, and they can definitely tell! We live about 30-40 minutes away, and they are completely understanding if it takes us a little longer to get there!”

Rhonda H.

“Dr. Russell is so personable and patient. He was informative about my little stray doggie and put my mind at ease over a few of my concerns. My disabled husband went with me. Dr. Russell was very patient with him and treated him like he was the only person in the world while he explained and explained again.”

Olivia

“Took our dog to get spayed, and the staff was very friendly and patient and kept us informed on everything. It was the best price in our area as well.”

Elizabeth L.

“Every time I come, it’s a wonderful experience!!! The vets talk me through any issue I may have, they’re very thorough, they make sure my pets are happy and taken care of, and that my sweet fur babies are living life to the fullest! Thank you to all the staff, they’re all wonderful!!!”

Cheryl S.

“Everyone was friendly and had a great experience with my fur baby. Dr. Russell was very nice and informative.”

James E.

“Awesome people to take care of our furry family members. They are very professional and very caring. The place is clean and smells wonderful, and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Good job!!”

James A.

“They take very good care of our family pets. Nail trims, shots, annual check-ups, and a couple of emergency visits.”

Holly H.

“Tried another vet and was seriously unhappy. Russell was recommended, so glad to have found them. The techs are phenomenal! Entire staff caring.”
