Testimonials

Read What Our Clients Say

  • "Customer service along with the best pet care around. I have been to local Vets before coming here and there really is no comparison. Even if I have to drive an extra 20 minutes to get the best care for my pet. If you have horses or small pets, you will be welcomed with open arms from the staff at Layfield Vet Services."
