REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Wigglesworth is great- very chill, and informative. The staff is all easy to worth with. I usually come in with my 12yo dog. 7yo dog, and 2yo child- my hands are full when we’re here and they work with me to get the pups taken care of!

South Patric Animal Hospital is fantastic. Everyone there takes great care of our 4-legged family members. Professional, caring and kind. We love boarding there too when necessary.

Stella had her annual review with Jo and Dr. Wigelsworth today, and as always, received the very best care. She’s been coming here for 8.5 years, and it truly shows in the consistency and compassion of the team. Even after getting pricked three times (trooper status 🐾), she earned rave reviews—her diet and exercise regimen are paying off, she’s down pounds, and overall doing great. Grateful, as always, for such thoughtful, top-notch care.

Good visit to discuss a difficult decision regarding our 16 year old ailing and declining dog. Left with a good plan to help her and hopefully give her some comfort and relief for as much longer as we can fit her.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of us. Destany got us in first thing after a long night of sick. Crystal was very helpful and Emma couldn’t have been nicer. My poor baby needed emergency help for nausea and everyone was amazing! Thank you!!!!
