About 2 months ago Dr. Coleman and Brandi came to our home to put our dog Niles to sleep. Niles had a ruptured disk and developed bed sores from not being able to move or be mobile in any way. After an exam with Dr. Coleman we asked for his expertise regarding our family pet. We were unsure what to do because we did not want our family member to suffer, but then if there was a chance he could recover and we could keep him at ease with not much pain, then we wanted to try to keep him alive without thinking of ourselves. We asked Dr. Coleman for his advice and if he thought our pet was ready to be put to sleep. After looking in our 11 year old German Shepard's eyes, the Dr. said "there are things we can try and he didn't feel that Niles was ready to give up yet, but it would take a lot of time and caring from his family" so with a lot of patience, time, understanding and love, it is now 2 months later and our dog is walking and playing. We realize that nothing will ever be the same with our family pet and he has to be watched very close, as it can happen again, but the kiss he gives us everyday and the wagging of his tail shows us that he is very glad that we/he never gave up.

We want to this time to Thank You Dr. Coleman and Brandi, because of your compassion, knowledge and expertise we never lost of our family member Niles.

We would like to thank you for the wonderful care you gave our little "Shadow" when he came in on September 31st.  Having to leave him with you for those long 24 hours was made easier knowing he was with a group of people who cared.  Because of the tremendous medical treatment he was given, the love and attention he was shown, he is well and back to his ornery self.

Earlier this year, I had to have Pete, my beloved dog of 18 years put down.  Pete was a large dog and in great pain.  I called upon Coleman Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Coleman came to my home to put him down.  He was kind and sensitive to my sorrow.  Then came Sam.  Sam was playing with another dog late on a Friday evening when he broke his leg.  I was on vacation and the nearest help was 40 miles away and a ferry ride away.  When we arrived to that animal hospital it was late, very late and Sam was in severe shock.  I was afraid I might lose him.  He spent 7 days in that hospital and received excellent follow up at Coleman Veterinary Clinic.  Sam got his pin removed December 7th and now my new best friend has his shot at a long, happy life.

Thank you so much for taking care of Barney.  Just about the time that we think that we couldn't appreciate you more than we already do...you do something else to help us.  How very much we appreciate each visit at your office.  You and the staff always make time to take care of our pets but you also make certain that we have enough information about our pets health care needs to make right decision when we are at home.  When others might stop you are always sure to go the extra mile to make certain that we are well equipped to handle a sick friend.  Thank you all and God bless!
