Shirley and I just what to thank-you, on behalf of Zach, for the excellent care he received at The Cove while he was a patient. Even though the outcome wasn’t what we prayed for or expected we rest the knowledge that Zach was in good hands and it makes his passing a little easier for us to cope with. We love and miss him and wish with our hearts to have him back home with us, but we know that isn’t possible. However, we do believe that God took Zach… read more

I brought my 1-year-old lab in after suffering a heat stroke. As usual, everyone at The COVE from the front office to back was amazing, you always make me feel at ease when I admittedly am such a nervous dog Mama. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my urgent care dog needs – thanks again for all your care, support and expertise. Russell is doing well, the peace of mind you provided allowed me to get a good nights sleep!
