Very professional. Had our bunny neutered. No problems at all and great follow up by SAVH. — J. Gillmen
South Auburn has ALWAYS been there for me. From my urgent last minute needs, my calls back from the after hours line, and holding my planned appointments. They are like family. They took care of my elderly dogs up to the very end of 18-19 years and would always find the time to explain and educate. I know my precious babies have the best care. I'm a better pet owner because of South Auburn. Thank you ALL! — L. Silenciario
The first time we brought him in to see Dr. Jamie, we knew she was the perfect fit for Koa. We are grateful for the love and care everyone showed Koa and again thank you for thinking of him. — B. & L. Gregersen

Having had dogs in my life for over 40 years, I can truthfully say I have never been happier with a veterinary clinic as I am with South Auburn Veterinary Hospital.
