Pennyroyal Small & Exotic Animal Hospital

They have a cat that will scratch children, be careful of a white cat with a black spot near it’s nose!!!

Dr. Lacki and the entire staff are friendly, professional, informative and patient. At no time did I feel rushed and I very much appreciated the time Dr. Lacki spent explaining to this lay person the nature of the problem.

Let me say I’ve been to many vets, and I left my old vet to come here because it was so wonderful. But I’ll start at the beginning.
Me and the boyfriend needed to find a place to bring our bearded dragons. Not too many places treat exotics and those that sometimes do have no clue what they’re doing… at all. Well when I called them the lady on the other end on the phone not only gave me a price quote at the time but even told me some things I could do for our beardie so I wouldn’t have to bring her in. Yes. They give health advice over the phone just because they care about the animal. They never want you to spend more money or try to suck money from you. They are also how I discovered care credit so I’ll never have to worry about my pets during an emergency.
Anyways we brought our first bearded dragon to penny royal and never have I seen her treated with so much respect. Everyone thought she was so cute. Wanted to pet her, not your typical response for a lizard. They ran a poop float and gave her a full physical and found out she had giardia. We got her meds and later brought our other beardie. She was free of that but found out she had a tape worm. They didn’t have medicine on hand to treat that being they’d never seen it before in a bearded dragon so they had medicine specially made for her. Was wonderful. Truly wonderful. They also treated her great. Heehee they have a heating pad for them to lay on to get them to relax. I believe my scale babies wanted to take it home.
A time later I worried about my pembroke welsh corgi, he’s eight and hasn’t been to a good vet in so long. I came into some money and quite dramatically told them to run every test they could. He’d been breathing strangely, almost like a asthma attack. And limping on one leg. The vet techs were great, the vet who is the same woman for our lizards got on the ground and loved on him. And she knew exactly what was wrong with him and told me how to treat it and that he was fine. A reverse sneeze is what it is. They did blood work and X-​rays. He has arthritis in his right leg but other than that healthy. I was so relieved I cried. Before we left a tech came out and asked if we had questions. She answered everything. Even things I forgot to ask the vet about. Told me things I could buy elsewhere or things I could do. I couldn’t appreciate it enough.
And on a non health note, we brought my new puppy who is also a corgi. She was a very spirited thing at only 8 weeks old but had behavior problems. Techs told me what to do, how to stop it, advice… them the vet told me some things as well. She got her other boosters and shots and of course she got many cuddles and pets. Now after doing what they told me to do and of course her growing up (now 4 months old) she is wonderful.
Please bring your babies here.

I’ve been bringing my dog here for over 2 years and have consistently been happy with the care. Dr. Gravatte in particular is top-​notch. You can tell he really cares about your pet. Most importantly, I’ve never felt pressured or guilted into high-​cost procedures. I recommend this place to all my pet-​owning friends.
