Testimonials
What a few of our customers have to say about us

"Dr. Somer is fantastic. It's is obvious to me that they care more about my dog then they do about selling services. My dog is very precious to me and money is no obstacle when it comes to her health and well being, all the staff know this but they never try to upsell. Karma is treated like gold and she actually loves going to the vet. Keep up the awesome work!"

"They saved my cat by correctly diagnosing my cat after a previous vet misdiagnosed her problems. I'd spent tons of money on drugs and an operation that didn't help my cat at all. It wasn't until coming to Dr. Somer that we got proper treatment. Wish I had found them sooner. Isis is now 17 and doing good."

"This is the first place that the staff are super friendly, they interact with the pets and greet them as well. I love that they call us to follow up to see how our dog is doing and ask if there are any concerns or question. Great service and I can always asked them questions about any concerns that I may have with my dog or products. I always get my questions answered or I get ideas to try. My dog loves them!!Love the online service."
