“Dr. Pool gave us 6 more months with our pal Rusty that he might not have had with another vet. She always called and checked in on him to make sure his quality of life was still good. And when the time came, she let us know that it was the right thing for Rusty. She has seen all of our dogs and has always gone above and beyond. We are very grateful for her. We are also grateful for Rusty’s ladies who worked there and loved him as much as we did. Thanks for everything you all did for Rusty. I would highly recommend Dr. Pool and her staff to anyone.”
