Our Glowing Reviews

“

"Butch and I want to thank Kathy Haywood and everyone at Montgomery Small Animal Clinic for once again going way above and beyond for us this past Saturday. This is not unusual for them, and we couldn't ask for a better clinic, or staff to take care of our "babies". Not only do they give our babies the very best veterinary care possible, but they genuinely care about all of their patients. They are all very compassionate, and have always gone way beyond the normal services."

"I have been bringing my pets to MAC for 17 years. Now that I have moved to Myrtle Beach, I still bring my babies there!! The three hour drive is well worth the extra effort because I know they will get the BEST care possible and it gives me time to visit family while I'm there! I love the professional, knowledgeable and caring staff!"

"Excellent care and service, I simply cannot speak highly enough of this business! Lindsay is wonderful to work with, she is knowledgeable, professional & a pleasure to speak with. All of the animals that we have sent here for vetting, prior to going into rescue have been given the highest standard of care, and the thought that goes into the after care packages that are sent home with the animals is beyond my expectations. Thank you for the amazing work you do!"

"To me this is one of the BEST ANIMAL CLINICS AROUND!! Everyone there is very friendly and treats you and your fur babies like family. I'm from Moore County and to me it's worth the 30 to 40min drive to go here. They go the extra mile for you and your fur babies. They do everything from baths, nail trims, to full exams and are very GOOD AT reminding you a month ahead of time for any shoots or meds you may need."
