“Everyone is absolutely wonderful! There’s a reason we drive from Wausau to Countrycare! Thanks!”
“Everytime I go there with my dog or message them a question and even boarding I feel very comfortable and know that Litty is well taken care off. My questions are always answered and everyone is always so friendly and welcoming when we come in.”
“Jeff and I are extremely grateful to everyone we came into contact with with regards to our ginger Charlie. The care and the continuous follow ups set my mind at ease knowing that our boy was constantly on your minds wanting updates on how he was progressing. Thankfully he was progressing in the right direction. We cannot thank you all enough!”
“Love how caring the staff was for not only my dog but me too! I was very worried about my boy and they helped us both. He was sooo loved the entire time there. It was evident everyone truly cares about what they do! Not an easy job at all. Thank you for all yall do!!!”
“Dr. Heintz took the time to listen to my concerns and was very patient with my nervous dog. She even introduced herself when we stopped in for a ‘happy visit’ to get my dog used to the facility and associate it with positive things. She was very understanding and knowledgeable in how to approach my dog who is extremely fearful of strangers and also provided great treatment for my dog! It meant so much to me to have her take the time needed with my dog so she can get the care she needs!”
“As always, the Country Care staff were all very friendly and helpful. We did not have a true emergency. But our dog, Russell, needed medical attention right away and we were so happy we were seen quickly. We appreciate the Vet Tech listening to our concerns and the full history of the situation. And everyone showed that they really cared about Russell.”
“I LOVE Countrycare! You really feel like family when you walk in. I’ve been a client many years and always refer people when they need a vet to listen. Listening to your clients and their worries, fears, needs is soooo important. Thank you for always Listening!”
“I have been going to Country Care for over 30 years. Everyone there is very friendly, compassionate, and takes the time to listen to your concerns and answer questions. I highly recommend them to everyone.”
