★★★★★ 5.0 Jay Today · May 2025

We had a fantastic experience at Barks + Bliss Veterinary Wellness today! Dr. Sierra Garrett saw our cat, Harley, and we couldn’t have been more impressed. She was incredibly compassionate, informative, and took a truly collaborative approach to Harley’s care. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her patients and their humans. The entire staff went above and beyond to get Harley seen sooner, and we are so grateful for their dedication and responsiveness. Costs for labs, imaging, and medications were clearly communicated upfront—no surprises—which we really appreciated. The facility itself was spotless, modern, and calming, making the whole visit feel smooth and stress-free. We left feeling completely confident in Harley’s care and so thankful to have found such an exceptional veterinary

They called to reschedule my appointment. I showed up for my rescheduled appointment, a little early, like 5 minutes. I was put in the “cat room”, that smells like it’s name. Waited for over a half hour. No vet showed up to give booster shot. Had to leave for another appointment. Dr Brown responded to me and apologized for the situation. Just reading her response made me realize this is a great clinic, with caring staff, and that I overreacted to the mishap. This clinic is a long drive from my home, but worth it. My pets are well cared for there and I have been going there for years.

Outstanding first time experience. I have been looking for a good, trustworthy family vet office for my two pups after a lot of shuffling between providers. Barks + Bliss came through 1000% . From submitting my initial online inquiry, to making an appointment, to gathering details about my dogs, to the moment we walked through their doors, the experience was easy. Even the way out the door was easy. I cannot say enough great things about how well Bekah took care of our needs and educated me as a first time Barks +Bliss pup parent and special thanks to Dr. Reeve. The administrative team is also top notch. I had everything I needed to take care of my dog, fast communication. Best vet decision I have ever made. Don't sleep on this place for your pups! It's a good one! Thanks yall! :)

We have taken our other cats here for the past couple of years and we have always been pleased. Last week we found an injured kitten that, upon further examination, had several potentially serious injuries. He was first seen at a local animal ER and transferred here the next morning. He spent the first couple of days transferring back and forth between the facilities during each business’s off hours for monitoring and treatment. When he was finally able to come home, we still returned to Barks + Bliss for follow up and eventually amputation of the injured limb. Throughout this process Dr. Brown and Dr. Reeve have been exceptional in their support and care as have their amazing staff. We are extremely grateful for the care they provided and are happy to have such a great veterinary clinic s

★★★★★ 5.0 Johnny Blaze · Aug 2022

Update: continuing to use Barks and Bliss are primary care providers due to consistently good to great service and compassion. Older: First visit was very good. Met by a compassionate and understanding staff that takes a gentle approach to animal care. What I liked most about the visit what their unending patience to allow my fur-baby to warm up to them in a time and space that was comfortable for my beloved pet. The next item I found remarkable was the a availability and breadth of services for animal care, to include Oncology and Sonograms. I'm am optimistic that subsequent visits will be just are caring and gentle.
