Countryside Veterinary Service - Large Animal

I’ve seen two doctors now (Dr. John Hajny & Dr. Bittner) and they are by far the best. First was a check up by Hajny and second time was a sick baby. My goat was sick and must have gotten into something. They went above and beyond to explain to me what was going on and what they gave him. Me being overly paranoid called the emergency number after hours and Dr Hajny called me back within 3 minutes at 9:30 at night. Super nice and again explained to me what was going on and calmed me down. Then spoke with Dr Bittner the next day and she gave me a recommendation and that did the trick. As you see from the picture he’s doing amazing now haha These people are beyond nice and well priced compared to other vets!!! You two will forever have my furbabies as a patient. Ty so much.

After being a regular client for 8 years, they suddenly dumped me just weeks before our kidding season began. Their reason: I was too far away and no longer in their coverage area. I later found that they continue to serve clients even farther away. So I was lied to, staff was rude to me. Finally, they offered a referral to other vets - the three practices they recommended were equine only (we have goats, not horses) or had completely gone out of business. Their vets are medically competent, but their business practices are shoddy and in my experience you can't depend on them unless you are a large client with unlimited deep pockets.

All of the staff here are truly amazing! From emergencies to routine vaccinations they are wonderful and accommodating. Everyone is beyond kind and caring and the only place I have fully trusted to care for my pets correctly.

I've used both small and large animal services. I've experienced Dr. Elliot, Dr. Bittner and Dr. Brougher for various large animal emergencies and they were all amazing. Their professionalism, thoroughness and compassion are so appreciated. The techs/assistants are also always super helpful and caring! And not to forget the receptionists for being so great at communicating and always makes sure to ask the important questions and being understanding and compassionate as well. Coming from someone who is an RVT in emergency vet med, I understand how under appreciated this field can seem, but every single person I interacted with was wonderful. You all should be proud of the amazing team you have! (Picture of my drunk, sedated gelding from after our most recent visit 😅)
