Kind words from our clients

Real reviews from real clients.

Everyone at CAVS is so very caring and professional, from the front desk to Dr. Ryan and Tiffany. We drove in from Lafayette with my precious Lizzy. All three of us were treated with compassion, although Lizzy probably didn’t think so when she was pricked and sedated for her procedure! I highly recommend CAVS for specialized treatment of your pets.
