⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Anicira is a really great place, they are affordable and attentive, they are prompt and the place is clean, it’s the first vet office I’ve visited that did not have a pet odor smell, I’m not sure how they achieved that haha. My Cinna was more comfortable here than I have ever seen her at any vet office and she is feisty with “Tortitude” as they call it. She is a calico/tortoiseshell mix, a “Tortico” as I like to call it. She had a full senior bloodwork panel and a rabies vaccination and it cost just under 12% of what the other vet charged (I did the math) for less items checked than what was done at Anicira. I really appreciate the service they provide to low income pets, I will be going here for future pets although I know they won’t be able to get the massive discount. However this place is still much more affordable without the discount and kind than any other vet I have seen in any state I have lived."

Thank you for such kind words! We are so happy you and your beautiful kitty had a wonderful experience!

This teeny weeny fella is Peas! He was found in a barn with an injured tail at just 4 weeks of age! He was taken in and bottle fed. His tail injury did not resolve with medical treatment, so it was recommended that he have it surgically removed. Little Peas did well during the procedure and he's completely recovered now!

Zuda needed lifesaving emergency surgery after he ingested a toy. Unable to afford the cost of care at an emergency hospital, his family was seriously considering economic euthanasia. On the day of Zuda's scheduled surgery, he did not arrive. Concerned, we contacted his family and learned of their difficult decision. Fortunately, they had not yet gone through with the euthanasia yet. We urged them to bring Zuda in, assuring them we would find a way to perform the life-saving surgery. We covered the cost of Zuda's surgery, and he returned home happier and healthier to his loving family.

Today is National Nonprofit Day. Unlike most veterinary hospitals, Anicira is a nonprofit organization. How does this make us different?

For-Profit Business:
Goal: make money for the owners or shareholders.

Anicira Non-Profit Veterinary Hospital:
Goal: to support a cause or provide a public benefit.
Profit: Any money made (after paying expenses) is put back into the organization to further its mission and support its cause.

On this National Nonprofit Day, consider how your choice of veterinary care can make a meaningful difference in the lives of pets in your community. By choosing Anicira, you’re not just getting exceptional care for your pets; you’re also supporting a mission that helps countless animals in need, like Zuda!

"I brought in a 5/6 week old kitten that unfortunately needed one of his legs amputated. The staff here was PHENOMENAL!! I honestly can't speak highly enough. The vet, Dr. Pedigo was amazing and I could tell she cared for my newly rescued kitten as much as I did! They kept me very informed the entire time. I would, and will, recommend this vet to anyone who will listen! The best vet care I have ever experienced, and far more affordable than the vast majority."

Katie, thank YOU for such kind words. We know that with you by his side, Lucifer will always have someone to lean on in time of need!

Every year, especially in the summer time, veterinary ER's around the world see an increase in corn cob ingestions!

Several weeks ago, Creed ingested a corn cob. Though he vomited portions of it up eventually, his loving family started to notice he became lethargic, had a decrease in appetite and continued vomiting. He spent a few days hospitalized at the ER but radiographs confirmed a foreign body obstruction. An estimate for surgery was provided but due to cost constraints, Creed's family elected to have the surgery performed at Anicira.

We wish Creed a continued speedy recovery and no more corn cobs!

Sweet Ellie was spayed last week! Read on for her Mama's kind and generous words!

"From the moment I walked in, the staff was very attentive and organized. I was checked in and said bye to my pup within 2 minutes for her to get ready to be spayed. They answered any questions that I had and were very nice to everyone that walked in their doors. Pick up was the same way. Very informative with the medication post surgery and what to look for. Highly recommend Anicira for their thoroughness, kindness, and punctuality!! Thank you for taking such great care of my little Ellie girl."

In early June, Pockets family noticed she was feeling unwell. She refused food and eventually became very lethargic. Concerned for her well-being, her family brought her to the ER where she was diagnosed with a life-threatening condition called pyometra and referred for surgery. She had surgery at Anicira almost 2 weeks ago and her family says she's recovering well!

Zippy has been experiencing seizures, sometimes daily, and other times going as long as six weeks without one. His dad brought him to Anicira for blood work and medication to help control his seizures.

Thanks to our wonderful supporters, Zippy's care was covered by Anicira's Aidan Friend Fund. This fund was started by the mom of Aidan, a miniature Poodle mix who was rescued from life on a chain, and helps underserved families afford veterinary care.

Zippy's dad expressed his gratitude, saying, "I am so impressed by how nice and loving everyone is and how much they care for every animal."

At just one year old, Maven faced a life-threatening medical emergency: a urinary blockage. He arrived at Anicira on a Monday morning lethargic, breathing heavily, and having not urinated since Friday. The graveness of his situation was apparent to all he encountered.

Our team worked tirelessly to save Maven's life, first by administering oxygen therapy then by successfully removing the blockage. Despite an initially uncertain prognosis, Maven was resilient and showed signs of recovery. Throughout the week-long hospitalization, he gradually regained his strength and his affectionate personality began to shine through once more.

Thanks to the exceptional care he received, Maven made a full recovery, much to the delight of everyone involved. Starting off weak and lethargic, by the time of his discharge, Maven had befriended every person who crossed his path.

Maven's remarkable journey was made possible by Petco Love's Access to Care Grant which supports Anicira's Operation Free Pet Healthcare program. This initiative aims to provide accessible and affordable veterinary care to vulnerable pets in our community.
