I highly recommend BEVS!! Dr. Harnett and his staff are so wonderful. They truly saved my sweet girls life and treat her like a princess every time we walk in for a follow up. She was in icu for four days and they even covered her with a blanket knowing how she loves it.

I had a 9:30 appointment with Dr Harnett and he and his team were very punctual. The technician was very friendly and answered all my questions as did Dr Harnett who had performed an echocardiogram on my dog in connection with his dilated cardiomyopathy. I would highly recommend BEVS.

The staff was so helpful when my 16 year old dog came in with a dislocated hip. They informed us on every step while being so kind to us. We felt like my dog was in good hands the entire time.
