Friends have recommended Grassmere for years but I live a long way off. When I rescued an injured dog, Grassmere was the closest. They were wonderful to this stranger and were straighforward about Simba's needs. He ended up getting a referral to a surgeon for very expensive surgey and then had a long recovery period that required daily boarding at Grassmere. The staff was great about working with me to manage various grants and donations I got for his care, and now that he has found a permanent home, they always ask about him. After that, I was hooked. My four dogs (one has now had to be euthanized at Grassmere and they actually sent me a personally-signed card!) are aging and have complicated health problems, so I feel great that there is continuity among the vets and techs and that they act like they know me when I show up. My 5 cats also go there now, too. Grassmere is one of just a few accredited facilities in our area and they are very caring about pain management. All of this plus their capability to hospitalize means a lot to me in terms of high-quality care. Prices are competitive, too. We always request Dr. Lambeth, but the other vets are great, too.
Pros: Great vets, friendly staff, clean, good hours
Cons: Boarding facilities are kind of grim-looking; care is good
