    Sheena Craig
  • "These folks went above and beyond to help an out of town visitor help with a puppy who decided to do a flying nun impression from a second floor bedroom. The staff were kind, helpful and thorough. We were fortunate that the pup was not seriously injured.
    I can tell you this...if you're in the area, I would highly recommend Cherokee Animal
    Care as a primary pet health provider.
    Thank you for helping me and my pup!"
    Terri Jenkins
  • "A stray cat came to our house with a broken leg so we called the animal care clinic and they took him in with no questions asked! They said if he tested negative for feline leukemia then they would fix him up and get him adopted out 😀 I called the next day and he's on the schedule to get his leg amputated and they're getting him fixed up! I couldn't be more grateful for them!"
    April Booth

  • "My almost six month old puppy Banshee was terrified of her vet visit, but the staff was very sweet and let us wait in the exam room so the other dogs wouldn't stress her out more. They were very gentle and compassionate. It gives me peace of mind knowing she's in good hands."
    Brooke Karma

    Joe Collins
  • "I love this vet! Dr. Robbie is the best! Great staff also! The staff is so caring. I had to board my two cats while I was in the process of moving and they took great care of them! Not only that I was worried because my cat wasn't breathing well and she ended up having asthma and Dr. Robbie did everything to get her back to feeling better. My baby is doing great!!"
