St Francis Veterinary Clinic

St Francis Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice that, in the latest reviews available to us, is repeatedly described as responsive with clear communication and follow-up after treatment. Owners mention pets being seen promptly at appointments, vets explaining what they’re doing “in layman’s terms,” and a follow-up phone call to check recovery after a procedure/treatment. One review also highlights the clinic providing low-cost euthanasia for a disabled, very sick stray cat when the owner felt other clinics quoted much higher fees.

Services

Services specifically referenced in the available information include

• •General vet appointments for cats and dogs (owners describe examinations and treatment during booked visits).
