Our great Pyrenees got very sick over the weekend, and we came to Empire Ranch for the first time. All I can say is wow, what an amazing staff. MJ was 120lbs and not mobile, so they came to the car to see her. Lauren was amazing with her, and so was the vet. Unfortunately we made the hard call to help her pass with peace and dignity. When we can even fathom a new pet, Empire Ranch will be our new vet. Thank you guys for helping us, and loving her. The sundae was the best thing you could have done, she loved peanut butter.

From the very beginning, I was impressed by how thorough and prepared they were. They asked where my dog had previously been seen, and when I arrived they already had all of her past records ready to go, which made everything feel so organized and seamless.

I brought my dog in for a dental evaluation expecting she would need extractions, and I was blown away by the care and professionalism of this clinic. They scheduled her surgery quickly and took incredible care of her from start to finish. Dr. Kurth was phenomenal. Her communication was excellent, and I truly appreciated the multiple updates throughout the day. I especially loved that they called once they knew how many teeth needed to be extracted and made sure I understood the cost before moving forward. I never once felt pressured to spend more than necessary.

Joey’s discharge education was clear, thorough, and so reassuring. Every interaction I had exceeded my expectations, and seeing how thoughtfully the team cared for other pets in the clinic was incredibly comforting. This team is prompt, fair, kind, and genuinely eager to help. I am beyond grateful for the care they provided and so appreciative of this entire clinic.
