Canine Center

Very nice group of dog lovers. Dr Barcus is very easy to communicate with and she always has time for questions and answers.

We love the Canine Center! Dr. Barcus and the entire staff of technicians are so wonderful. Carmella and Clementine love going to the vet to see them. The clinic is clean, everyone is so kind and attentive, and you can tell they really care about the dogs so much. I am grateful to have Canine Center providing care for my girls (and our sweet angel Colby).

Dr Barcus and staff are great. I'm so happy we found Canine Center. Dr. Barcus is beyond knowledgeable on the newest treatments and fully explains options. We're so grateful for her help in treating our dog in her senior years and making Gracie (and us) comfortable after her cancer diagnosis. I wish we had found Canine Center sooner!

We’ve been going to the Canine Center since it opened in 2005. My husband and I have the highest respect and are so thankful for Dr. Barcus and her staff Cheryl, Michele and Lexi. This past Saturday, I left a message before hours to see if we could bring our loving german shepherd, Nikki, in for diagnosis. She had gone from an active, healthy, 10-year-old to a lethargic pup and had collapsed late the night before. Cheryl called back before they opened and said I should bring her over asap. We arrived shortly after 8 a.m. and the entire staff was on hand waiting to help. Within a short period of time, Dr. Barcus shared her thoughts on a diagnosis and it was the worst we could have imagined – hemangiosarcoma and the spleen had ruptured. We were devasted and in shock. She offered a thorough explanation of the disease, information on treatment and prognosis so we could make our decisions. Dr. Barcus and her staff spent well over 2 hours (on a busy Saturday morning) tending to Nikki, myself and my husband. In the end we decided that putting Nikki to rest was the best decision for her. It was also the hardest decision we’ve ever made. Our beloved pup who had just been her spunky self hours before was no longer going to be a part of our every day life. Again, the staff came to the rescue and allowed us to spend as long as we wanted with Nikki in a beautiful, peaceful, private room. Every single one of them was attentive, compassionate and empathetic to Nikki and our situation. Thank-you all for your time, your kindness, your knowledge and for everything you did for us yesterday morning. I can’t imagine being with anyone else or being anywhere else during such a difficult time. You are all truly the best.

Dr. Barkus and her staff are amazing. They talk about the personal side of owning a pet. She brings in her own experiences and lets you know what to expect. We have only been there twice, but so far our puppy wags her tail going in and going out. Thank you.
