Puppies and kittens are so cute and it's relatively easy to take care of them. Vaccinations, well-checks, and tummy aches are the most common veterinary experiences with them. It's how the older years go that are a true test with a veterinarian.

Dr. Pothast suspected cancer, after lab work, with my sweet Shelby Lynn, and referred me to VCA Midwest Veterinary in Omaha for the diagnostic scans and surgery. Chemo was recommended and that was something that could be administered by Johanna. Due to the combination of surgery and chemo, which was successful, Shelby had become a little fearful of the clinic because of the chemo treatments, but I was gifted with almost two more years with her.

Shelby was my fur baby soulmate and at the age of 14, she let me know that it was time. I am so grateful that Johanna and Russ were able to come to the house so we could say good-bye in a peaceful and calm environment. The genuine compassion and kindness that they showed that day was real.

An exceptional vet will be as involved with their patients as the owners and that is true of Johanna. I trust her and she has taken care of all my furry children since she moved to the area. Russ and Johanna are a great team and their staff will care for your pets as much as they do.

As an added note, you won't find many veterinarians that will help repair a Monarch butterfly's broken wing.
