In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention a non-corporate feel, vets who take time to explain options clearly, and handling that’s calm with nervous/reactive pets (including a “big reactive dog” made comfortable and not pushed beyond his limits). One reviewer also mentions joining a monthly plan covering parasite treatment and vaccinations.
