Caring Critters Animal Hospital

We’ll always be grateful for the caring way Dr. Zimmerman and Natasha helped my Mom see her 17 year old dog slip peacefully away when it was time for her to be released from her suffering. My sister and I had done several weeks of research on all the places in the area. Cost was not a consideration, in this instance, but it’s good that the services were the most reasonable of the three «finalist» good places we chose, as that IS a consideration for MANY folks even though they love their pets as much as we love ours.
We did a little planning ahead but when my Mom called me and said it was time, I was able to make fast arrangements long-​distance and she and her dog, who was in distress, were seen within the hour. (As fast as I could alert the pre-​arranged transportation for my elderly Mom.)
My sister and I were unable to accompany Mom so feeling that she and her dog would be cared for in the most compassionate way possible was the major consideration. We are happy to say that the arrangements were made expeditiously and everything was taken care of perfectly. Mom has a great loss to deal with but it was the best possible experience under the circumstances. I don’t normally give a good review with only one visit to a place but Mom’s approaching 90 and won’t have another pet. If we were to have a pet, in the Mesa/​Apache Junction area, we would certainly be retuning to Dr. Zimmerman’s practice.

Took my dog there for general checkup and a rabies shot. Was told that dog needed blood work done because of her age, she’s 12. Price for blood work, 285.00. I told them that i just wanted shot today. Was told if i didn’t get the blood work done they couldn’t do the rabies because she had a slight fever. I said never during exam did anybody say anything about a fever. Paid for exam, left, never to return.

From out of town, The time had come to say goodbye to my old Jack Rat Buddy. After explaining all the options and making sure I would have no regrets, the Vet was very supportive of my decision. As upsetting as it was to say goodbye I can’t imagine anything more they could have done to make it easier. Buddy slipped away eating real bacon and being held. The staff even sent me a condolence card! We just adopted a little sweetie from the shelter and will be bringing her here for all vet services. Amazing staff!

This place is WONDERFUL they treat you so well, we had a really sick puppy on our hands and needed to see someone ASAP and they took us in after hours. You can totally tell they LOVE LOVE LOVE animals here!
Thank you so much!!!
