Surf Dog USA: Teaching Your Dog to Surf
The vets and staff at Eola Point Animal Hospital are simply the best. The vets and staff are highly educated, trained and go beyond the obvious and anticipate all aspects of care needed. No matter how busy they are, they always make time for questions and issues that arise. They greet us each time with humor, kindness and smiles. Our dog actually loves going to see them. He strains at the leash to get in the door. To us, that is the best testimonial of all. We feel blessed to have such wonderful, skilled, kind and knowledgeable vets and staff to assist our little member of our family.
