Horizon Veterinary Specialists

My husband and I are beyond grateful for Horizon Veterinary Specialists. We had an emergency with our our 13 year old furry baby Star a week before our wedding! She had a major infection and thank goodness that they were able to rush us in for a check up. If the infection burst and went inside her gut, it could have been a horrible scenario. Thankfully, she got surgery right away, recovered quickly and was able to be with us at our wedding. Amy, Melissa, and the entire team were wonderful at Horizon! Star is well today because of them. Thank you!

They were very kind to us when we were there to put our sweet cat down to rest in 2021.... BUT we have been traumatized and beyond hurt to find out that we did not leave with our sweet girls footprint and ashes like we were promised. We spent alot of money to make sure that we brought her home in a beautiful way. We chose their footprint, and engraved box option with her name on it. Even though the labeled number matching the ashes and footprint are the same the actual footprint is not hers. We have come to realize this YEARS after her passing because I came across her real footprint on my dresser when she had stepped in nail polish when she was still alive. She was our one and only family cat and we are all very taken back by this discovery. Just when we thought we could make more room in our hearts to adopt another cat we are now having to deal with the realization and stress that this has brought upon our whole family years after her passing.

Our 14 year old dog, 6 O’clock had been experiencing some health issues over the last couple of months. He seemed disoriented, confused and was having small seizures. I had planned a visit with his regular vet when the vet returned from a conference, but 6 suffered a grand mal seizure on Wednesday morning. I called his regular vet office and the receptionist recommended Horizon. I called, they said come in. I explained that 6 is my son’s dog and Blaze, 34, suffers from a traumatic brain injury. We knew this was probably going to be an emotional experience and with a TBI even more so. Everyone, from the receptionists desk, to the vet tech, to finally the vet were compassionate and understanding. They discussed options with us, but 6 was clearly in pain and to extend his life would have been cruel. We chose to let him gently pass. They gave us all the time we needed to be with him before. Asia comforted us with when we said it was a hard decision, giving us the example of a shoe that’s too tight. 6 had been living in this too tight shoe for awhile now. It was time to loosen the straps and take the shoe off. They took 6 back to put the catheter in and during that time the front desk gently asked if we’d prefer paying now instead of after. Realizing that after would be an even more emotional time, I took the option to pay while 6 was out of the room. Then we just talked to him for about 15 minutes before the vet came in. She also offered more words to ease our pain. And then 6 gently passed in our arms. The hardest thing - to let a family member, our 6 O’clock go, but Horizon made it as easy as possible. Thank you.

Excellent staff and care when your furry friend is in dire straits. My 8.5 year old Rottie mix ate something he should have and we ended up here. They called in a surgical team after confirming a blockage with an ultrasound. He received emergency surgery late at night to remove a blockage from his GI tract and spent 4 days under their care. I felt helpless as my pup struggled to fight through such an extreme experience but every time I went to visit him, the staff was so compassionate and full of love. I received updates 2x a day and they even sent me pictures. They let me come visit him when I wanted, even the night he needed the surgery. It is not cheap and they do not have payment plans which is restrictive, however, what more meaningful way to spend my money than to save the pup that has kept me whole through so many life changes.

We experienced the hardest day having to bring in our beloved Maltese who passed away at home . Everyone was very compassionate and the signed card we received with all handwritten words of sympathy meant so much to us . A special thank you to Mariyah and Nancy.
