"Our regular Vet couldn't get our St Bernard in for an emergency because they were overbooked and short staffed They recommended Cleveland Rd Animal Hospital . I called, told them what I thought she had and they got us in right away (even though we had never been there before) . They confirmed what we thought was wrong and did an emergency surgery that day (which saved her life) ! Now Kota is resting at home and doing very well . Everyone that we dealt with was amazing, from the receptionist to the vet tech, to the Vet ! They called giving us updates throughout the day and called this morning to check and make sure Kota was doing OK. I don't generally do reviews but they have earned it ! Thank you so much to Everyone at Cleveland Rd Animal Hospital, you folks are great !!"
