Review from Sue A.

I've been bringing my 11 year old cat, Lola, to the Woodbury Animal Hospital for the last ten years. I swear that Dr. Woodbury and his veterinary colleagues are direct descendants of Dr. Doolittle, pretty much able to communicate directly with animals without human intervention.
We mostly visit for regular checkups and vaccinations seeing Dr. Croft. The workups are thorough. A vet assistant usually does them with the vet then coming in to check on things. I should mention that my cat can come across as highly neurotic and very anti-social. For whatever reason, Dr. Croft has established a solid rapport with this crusty-tempered beast.
I had a bit of a scare where Lola was vomiting blood. I brought her into see Dr. Croft, worried that the cat might have cancer. Dr. Croft was calm in her exam and practical in her suggestions, explaining all treatment options available and recommending the most sensible rather than the most expensive. It turned out to be a condition of ageing related to Lola's digestive system that was easily treated with medication and a change in diet.
This animal hospital offers a range of services including neutering, teeth cleaning complete with anaesthetic, x-rays, and blood work. My cat had blood work done on a Friday evening and the vet called me at home two hours later with the results. These are animal lovers for sure.
The only knock against this place is sometimes they are too pro-animal. Hey, I love my cat but to me she is still a pet and not a human. I don't feel that I need to go the extra mile every time like the $500 annual teeth cleaning. For the most part, prices are reasonable.
While I can only speak from the feline perspective, for canine owners there appear to be extensive dog grooming services available. -

Woodbury isn't my usual vet and, to be completely honest, my dogs have never stepped foot in here. But still, I popped in today and had great customer service from the staff at the front desk.
With a hunt for my dog's (who's a bit of a delicate flower) food which usually involves trekking out to a vet in Sackville, occasionally only to realize they're all out, I had reached desperate status as I started just popping into every vet I could find looking for Medi-Cal brand kibble.
A quick look around the very small lobby area, I could only see one brand and was about to leave when the staff asked if they could help. Naturally, I just told them that the food I needed wasn't there and was halfway out the door when they mentioned, without being asked, that they have a full range of Medi-Cal in the back. Perfect!
After climbing up mutliple shelves and bringing down multiple bags, they realized that the one kind I needed was out but they were the first to let me know the closest alternative that carried the brand.
So all in all, I spent zero dollars and am not likely to go back (just because I love my vet), but I do have to give them credit for making my life just that much easier today. Kudos!
