They have supported us through some really difficult moments and have always provided thoughtful, reliable guidance.The front desk team is consistently kind and welcoming it genuinely makes a difference, and I always look forward to seeing them. I never thought a trip to the vet could feel like a positive or even “fun” experience, but somehow we always leave smiling, laughing with your team, and feeling completely confident in the care our cats received.Thank you all so much for everything you do!madalyn B. ★★★★★ I'm so happy with the care my guinea pig received. It can be really hard to find a vet that sees guinea pigs so I'm glad Saltwater have someone on staff that does. My guinea pig had an infection in he cheek and the staff helped get him the antibiotics he needed and drained excess fluid. They were transparent about costs which I really appreciated. They were also good with a routine checkup for my healthy pig. Their knowledge and care is truly felt and I would trust them again with any future needs. Thank you!!Sophie M. ★★★★★ Dr DeHart and the staff are amazing! They listen to the concerns we have with 3 very different cats and help problem solve for all of them.Holly ★★★★★ Dr Deal and Sabrina were helpful, and proactive prior to my dog’s surgery this week.

You can truly feel how much they love your pet and care about their wellbeing. The staff goes above and beyond to provide thoughtful, comprehensive care, and it makes all the difference. I’m so grateful to have a hospital that treats pets like family.Sabrina Melissa J. ★★★★★ My sweet pup was cared for by the staff at Saltwater for the last 6 years of her life. She had a lot of medical needs towards the end so was there monthly. They were so kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable. If you want the best care choose them.Amber B. ★★★★★ They were incredibly accommodating. I called to attempt to get a same-day appointment and they said that they could get my dog seen if I dropped him off and they could squeeze him in between other appointments. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option for me as my dog suffers from extreme separation anxiety. They had me come close to closing and were able to fit me in. You can tell that they genuinely care. Dr Runey takes extra time to explain things thoroughly and in depth. A+Mandy n ★★★★★ I called with an issue with my dog’s eyes and they made an appt that day!! We went in and a doctor saw him right away did an exam and a test. She gave us the results.She ordered drops and eye lube! We did as she told us to do for two weeks. We did struggle with dosing the drops and eye lube! Our little guy took exception to our administering them!! I called and they came up with a solution! We followed the instructions and it was so much better.Dr. Aubrey DeHa is a great vet and the staff is friendly and helpful. The appts were on time. The office and exam rooms were clean!Michelle K. ★★★★★ Thank you so much, Dr. Deal, Sabrina, Katrina, Sadie (apologies if I got any names wrong)... everyone at the clinic was so helpful and so wonderful.

I will be bringing my other two dogs to them very soon for check ups..Dr. DeHart is wonderful and caring. I love that she also explains things in ways I can understand and makes plans to help your pet..unfortunately, I went to another animal hospital and after surgery lost my baby...I have so many regrets and one being that I didn't chose to go to the animal hospital that the Dr. recommended and settled for something closer to my home. I will bring all my future pets here!terrie S. ★★★★★ Great care ,Love Dr Deal!Mary-Elizabeth O. ★★★★★ I have a bunny. It is difficult to find a bunny doctor. They handled Bun with loving gentle care that didn't stress him out. It was his first vet visit cuz he had a skin rash. These people love and care about you pets. Bun had a mite. I heard them talking about cleaning the room, spraying it and letting it sit and not using it for the rest of the day.They care about your pets. I appreciate them so much.Two weeks later they called for a picture of Bun to see how he is doing. How cool is that?!?!Kelley E. ★★★★★ The best, kindest staff!! They’re always have availability!Emily C. ★★★★★ Taco is such a princess at home and pretty much thinks she runs the show. It’s so reassuring seeing someone else that treats Taco like the princess she thinks she is.

Their no problem pressure approach doesn’t feel like sales, they educate me and let me my the decision on what the best treatment option for my pets is.ashley A. ★★★★★ I’ve been there multiple times with my dog Aro just scheduled appointments and they’ve treated Aro and I amazing. Definitely got a permanent hospital for the rest of my buddies life.Carlos C ★★★★★ My first experience with Saltwater was a walk in urgent appointment after my dog attacked my kitty. Was an amazing facility! Everyone was so nice and professional! 10/10 would highly recommend 😊erin E. ★★★★★ Nothing short of spectacular. My cat needed tooth surgery. I called around and no one had any emergency openings. They took him in same day for a checkup. My cat was in rough shape and is 16 years old so I was very worried.They were professional, scheduled a time for surgery quick and gave me a discount for scheduling while I was there. During surgery they found more issues with teeth which I expected and they told me that might happen. 11 teeth pulled out. The cost for surgery was within the quote that they gave me even though it was much more extensive than originally thought.They told me how he would be in rough shape when I got him back but he was great! He was hungry, thirsty, moving around and non stop purring. From the moment I got him home he was in great shape, better than he was before surgery and continues to get better. These people just may have given my cat a few more years to be with me.I am shocked with how well my cat did which I believe reflects on the surgical skills from the people at this clinic. I will always be great full with the job they did. I highly recommend these people for your pet. If staff is reading this, thank you!!Chad F. ★★★★★ Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. They took amazing care of our furbabyMarilu Hwang (. ★★★★★ Saltwater Animal Hospital has the most compassionate staff from the Front Line to the Veterinary Staff. They are very understanding of the obstacles both financially and physically of getting my cat to the clinic. They will even bring her back n forth to my car which is a blessing for me. It’s like “kitty valet”. Kaitlyn VA and Dr Aubrey DeHart are both very knowledgeable and efficient in their roles. Such a great team effort to provide care and resolve urinary issues with my kitty who has been struggling off n on for the last few months. I would highly recommend them for veterinary care!Linda H. ★★★★★ The Dr. and her helpers were all very helpful as well as understanding my new fur baby. He's a poodle/terrier mix that's been left alone for many hours per day because of previous owner's work, he only saw the owner's family members for visits. As a result, he barks almost incessantly when around people or other pets . He's quiet and well behaved with me although clingy. I will continue to take Tayo to this facility because I was treated well with kindness and understanding. I'm truly grateful for their help.Terry Lou P. ★★★★★ Caring staff and doctors!Mistie M. ★★★★★ Loved how prompt, professional, friendly, informative and helpful the whole staff were. I felt comfortable being there. I will definitely recommend them to everyone I know who has pets(family members).Rashida B. ★★★★★ This place is pretty sick, they got dogs n stuffM W ★★★★★ We really appreciate the care and understanding of our decision of the passing of our beautiful sweet Ruby. We were comforted with an ending of life room set up as a living room and spent as much time as we needed on a comfortable couch. Our Ruby crossed over peacefully with no trauma. Everyone was very consoling and we received a sympathy card signed by the staff there. It was an extremely tough decision for us and we knew her quality life was deteriorating, the staff and doctor really listened to us and supported our decision. Thank you!Laura C. ★★★★★ I had a pet emergency and they got me in the same day. Everyone from the front desk staff to the techs to the doctors were super friendly and caring.

You’ve advised me not to do things that are a waste of money and let me know when things are necessary. I trust Saltwater’s staff: from the front desk to the vet techs and the doctors. Thank you for always being there when we need you!!Brielle G. ★★★★☆ I took my cat to have her nails trimmed. My baby is beautiful and very lovable. The doctor who saw her told me several things that could be a problem. Her weight was the Doc's main issue. She got her nails trimmedand we left.They are good as any other Vet but my cat is perfectly fine. But they won't say that! No money to be made, then.Maureen
