After our cat fell ill, we took him to VSH. Our sweet cat was a big part of our family and we loved him dearly. It was a really difficult time and the team here was incredibly compassionate. They all instantly fawned over and loved him and made us feel confident that they were going to take very good care of him.
We were invited to the back area to see where our kitty would stay, again, adding to our comfort level and we were welcomed to come visit him often. We were also impressed that the nurses' station was set up square in the middle of the room where the animals are kept; giving the nurses a clear, close view of all the animals. Another facility we went to in N Raleigh kept the animals down the hall and behind a closed door; away from the caretakers and nurses which was a bad sign and really sad.
Our beloved kitty didn't make it and the doctor at VSH could not have handled a tough situation any better. She was patient, caring and made a gut wrenching time for us as bearable as she could. We even received a sympathy card and they hung an ornament with our kitty's name on their Christmas tree.
We did find VSH was a bit more expensive then the N. Raleigh Vets and yes, you do have to pay upfront, it is a business, but I wouldn't hesitate to take a pet there again.
