Wonder staff…caring and treat your pets like family. Affordable while most families have a budget.

We've been going here about 6 years now. Overall the vets have been great and we've been pretty happy with the overall experience. I only took off one star because of price increases, seems to be everywhere, BUT they're still pretty reasonable and try really hard to make sure your pet is well cared for.

Expensive. I was told by them my cat had KD and to give him fluids weekly. The Doc (Dr. C) told me “if I can’t do it (at home) to bring him in and they could do it, you don’t even need an appointment, maybe just at least call ahead so they can prepare” so I was under the assumption I could bring him in and pay for fluids for them to do it. I can’t stomach it (putting a large needle into him - I tried multiple times at home myself and failed) I got charged $38 for a tech to do it. When I asked about that they talked to the Doc and he said “there must have been some miscommunication.” And they told me if a Doc has to do it because a tech is unavailable it’d be like $60! It takes them less than 10 minutes to do. Charging that price is absolutely crazy just for fluids. Over $150/month for a tech to give my cat fluids and well over $240 for a vet to do it. Even one of the receptionists up front seemed like she felt bad charging me that. The techs I’ve seen are always nice. “Here let’s charge you $40 a week because your cat is dying and we know you’ll pay it if you want him to live longer!” is how Prairie Creek makes me feel. My cat is 14 and I’ve brought him there, and only there, since he was a kitten. Seems like they want my money and don’t care about you or your pet. I did call All City Pet Care after my final visit because I cannot afford that to see what they would charge. They told me they would charge $15-$20 for fluids which seems much more reasonable.
