Client Testimonials About Your New Team
I owe the life of my pup to Horizon. We came running into the lobby with my dog coughing up blood and they handled everything like true professionals and saved his life. Outside of dramatic TV shows, I have never seen a hospital setting go from silence to full emergency mode in such a short amount of time… I think that might say a lot more about our human facilities than anything else.. but I digress.
I genuinely believe that, if not for the fast and professional actions taken by the super star veterinarians at Horizon, I would not have my wonderful little road dog with me today. I can’t sing their praises enough.
It wasn’t just the fact that they burst into action and began doing their jobs, but you could see the concern, determination, and desire to help my little guy. These folks truly care about the well being of your pet. If you have a pet emergency, I firmly believe that this is your best shot in the area.
------------------------------------
My 6 year old pug Daisy was bitten by a baby rattler twice in the face and once in the paw several days ago. I called ahead as I raced down the freeway and they met me in the lobby -awaiting her arrival.
At that time, she was limp and taking her last breaths. She was promptly resuscitated, given antivenom , IV fluids and was observed for complications for about 25 hours. Thanks to the incredible and swift care provided by some of the most caring people I have ever met - SHE SURVIVED!!!!!
Not only did they provide excellent care of Daisy, they showed compassion and concern for me as her mom/owner as I was falling apart having witnessed her agony.
All three vets that treated her - Dr's Anderson, Krantz, and Mallon were communicative (calling with updates on her condition), compassionate and skilled experts in emergency/critical care. Her nurse Angel on the overnight was outstanding and caring as was Victoria in the reception area.
I am so grateful to everyone at Horizon - I have my little girl back who continues to improve each day. I've had many veterinary emergencies both dogs and horses. My experience with emergency care at Horizon was top notch with the best possible outcome.
