  The veterinarians at Mars Hill Animal Hospital are the very best. They, and their staff, have provided excellent care to our three dogs over the past several years. We would not go anywhere else.

  From the initial phone call to make our first appointment to the process of our dog's surgical spay and follow up, we knew we were in good hands. We received follow up phone calls and assistance with unloading our large dog for follow up. We were offered drinks and kept comfortable while our dog having procedures done. The office is huge and very clean, absolutely no animal smells at all. Going there feels like going home. Tomorrow we take our cat for his first visit there and will be taking our dog back for her final recheck from her surgery! I'm excited to see how our cat will behave in the car with the dog? Whatever happens, I know our animals are in great hands with Mars Hill Animal Hospital!

  Compassionate care and prices that don't frighten me. 😄 I can tell they love the animals here and even MY dog isn't afraid when I have to bring him to the doc. I'm definitely a customer for life.
