With having an older dog that was a rescue from a breeder that no longer had a use for her, I put of having her spayed for fear she wouldn't be able to make it through the surgery. I researched all the vets in my area of eastern Kentucky and just couldn't find one that I was comfortable with. Then I found Dr Goins in Wise and after talking with the very friendly staff, I knew I had found the right place. The staff was very compassionate and helpful. They did all the necessary tests to make sure that my baby could handle the surgery. The surgery was a success and they took very good care of her. You can't even see a scar and she was back to her normal self in a few days. They are a little pricey, but the money was well worth it. I wouldn't take my loved ones to just any doctor and Dixie is definitely a loved one. I would definitely recommend Dr Goins and his staff if you care about your pet!
