- Treats, snuggles, and positive experiences.

Dr Farris and team have been taking care of my Ollie for a little over a year now, and we love her and the staff at RRAH! I have recently switched my other two over as well. The level of care and empathy they show the pets is fantastic!

Great clinic, they love the pets and the pets love them! Always clean, and a calming atmosphere for nervous dogs. They have even accommodated me with several same-day appointments, making them my favorite vet over the years.
