Groveway is a truly wonderful veterinary hospital. All of the vet techs and reception have really been really kind, and they are really caring and gentle with our cats. Today I'm writing specifically with immense gratitude and appreciation for Dr. Mollie Powell. We are very grateful for the kind and gentle support our rapidly declining 14 year old cat, Claire, received. Dr. Powell helped get us quickly into a specialist when needed and was really responsive in general. Since we live close, Dr. Powell was able to accommodate a home visit for our Claire's release from her physical form. She brought the paw memorial and left it with us which was so thoughtful. Dr. Powell was extremely accommodating and kind, and my husband and I don't think it could have gone any better, given the excruciatingly heartbreaking circumstances. Losing our Claire is devastating for us, but we are so grateful to have been able to help her over the rainbow bridge right where she slept every night for as long as we can remember. Thank you, Dr. Powell, for helping our Claire over the rainbow bridge peacefully at home. Edit to add a big thanks to the really knowledgeable and cat-loving Dr. Emily Holmes, who is mainly there Fridays. We have a chunky cat who we now feel like we have a better understanding of his food requirements and have a good game plan to help him drop weight. Slow and steady, and he seems to already be adjusting well to the new, more strict routine.
We have used Groveway for over 5 years now, and so happy that we found them! Today they saw our pet on very short notice. Thanks to the great team who support us even though our dogs a howler!
Every good vet kept leaving during the time I frequented this place. Those vets were amazing. Dr. Cornelius manhandled one of my pets and Joseph was beyond clueless and didn't know how to read the room. Joseph kept insisting we wait for him to go find a freakin business card when we were in a rush to take our pet elsewhere for help. A pet of ours passed away, we informed Groveway, and they kept sending us routine appointment reminders. When we called them out on it, they couldn't even be bothered to apologize for the mistake. Never again. The entire Vet N Care organization has lost my trust.
I love Groveway. I found them in 2015 when my friend needed help choosing a vet to take her senior cat to say goodbye. I had never been in the room for a euthanasia before and I was very nervous, but needed to be there to support my friend. The entire staff was so compassionate and empathetic. They gave us all the time we needed to say goodbye. They really created a peaceful environment and they handled everything with so much grace that it really felt very beautiful. I have been taking my own pets there ever since. They also helped me have a peaceful goodbye with my first dog, what could otherwise have been a dark experience, was handled with such care. They even created a paw impression for us, which was very special. I have been taking all my animals to Groveway since 2015. My two cats and my other senior dog that has major oral surgery with them as well. I could not give Groveway and their staff higher praise or recommendation. Their new veterinary, Dr. Sip, is wonderful. And crazy enough, she specialized in exotics, which saved my friend's chinchilla who really was on the brink. Everyone at this hospital is incredible, your pets will be in the best hands. 🐾
We recently had to put our 15 year old cat to sleep as his illness had worsened. We took him to Groveway Vet and the tenderness and care they treated both my pet and myself was very comforting. They took special care to explain everything to me and let me spend time before and after with my pet. They helped make a difficult thing as easy as possible. Would recommend them for sure!
I took my bunny to see Dr Cornelius . He was great. Very nice, knowledgeable and informative. In fact, the entire staff was wonderful. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to their rates/fees. They are kinda pricey....
