“I cannot recommend Moonlight Vet Urgent Care enough! I had an exceptional experience here. Dr. Halsey and her staff demonstrated unparalleled compassion and swiftly addressed my pet’s needs with expertise and warmth. The facility is nice and clean, and they provided top-notch care without unnecessary fees. My dog Leo had some serious stomach issues, but they diagnosed and treated him quickly. I’m so grateful for their dedicated care and will definitely make it my go-to place for any pet emergencies. Highly recommend!”

“Took my dog here after she hurt her leg. They got me right in, and everyone was so nice. My dog seemed surprisingly happy to be at the vet, and they were so good with her! Their facility is great, and they offer so many services in-house, which makes the process much faster. Would definitely recommend!”
