I was so impressed with Bliss Animal hospital. They are fabulous! I took my 10 year old pom/chi for a dental cleaning and they did everything to perfection! The doctors you can speak to all the time the staff is constantly updating you . My dog had abscesses and Dr Nayara took care of everything and made sure all teeth were addressed and even made sure she didn't take any chances leaving anything just in case. From the medications to painkillers it was wonderful. The office is clean, peaceful and a very good reliable place to take your fur baby. My pup was groggy that day I picked her up by evening she was eating after having stiches and 17 teeth out. ! he next day she was already jumping playing and eating and i only had to use two vials of pain meds! This vet is by far the best! Thankyou for taking care of my pup with such care! That pic attached is the very next morning happy girl!

We had a great experience at Bliss! The vet and care team were very friendly, transparent with prices and made my kitty feel welcome and cared for. The best part about this practice is they're independent, so I found the fees more reasonable and the care better than chain vets. All around great experience and would recommend to anyone looking for the best care for their pet. Happy lil patient after her checkup pic.

We are absolutely so happy we have found Bliss. Our pups had another doctor, but the main doctor sold his practice and we were not happy with the care that we were getting. Bliss has The most kindest staff and the doctors are top-notch.
I feel better knowing that if we need to go back for anything they will be taken care of. It’s really hard to find a good vet who really cares about your animals and treats them with care and makes you yourself feel welcome. The prices are very upfront and they discuss everything with you. We are so happy to have found them

First time visit to Bliss and the experience was amazing! From the first phone call, and experience at the front desk arriving , to Dr Pataro and Mandy, and Kiana who gave our cat a shot, all were so friendly and welcoming. Their care with, and for my cat as well was wonderful. Bringing the rest of our pets there from now on. Highly recommend Bliss!!
