We saw Dr. Perkins for the first time last week with our lab. She was wonderful and listened to my concerns, put my mind at ease, and loved on our big boy. Thanks to the staff that we love and Dr. Perkins, we are loyal clients. Thanks for all that you do for our fur babies!

Phyllis, Hendersonville

Dr. Hale is a great veterinarian! He took such great care of my 16-year-old Princess. She had a lot of health issues the past couple of years but Dr. Hale got my old girl in great health again. Thank you so much to him & his great vet techs The Animal Clinic!
