I took my ten year old, medically fragile, shih tzu mix, Max, to meet the FurBuds team today. The receptionist checked us in quickly and kindly and placed us in an exam room. Shortly thereafter, Kara came in and took all of Max’s extensive and complicated medical history. She was patient and thorough. Dr. San Miguel came in and checked Max over and let me know that he needed radiographs and after she examined them, we’d decide the next course of action. The appointment took about two hours and in that time, I know that everything Max underwent was in the best interest of his health and well being. The team at FurBuds treated Max like he was as precious and darling as he is. They know how important he is to me and share my desire for him to be comfortable and get better soon.

Took our 1st pet Prince here. All of the staff were very friendly, nice, and informative. I wouldn't dare take him anywhere else after such a pleasant and comfortable experience.

We had taken two of our furbabies to FurBuds. The first one we didn't know what she had but Dr. Marisel San Miguel new exactly what was needed for our baby. I told her I had to work the next day and she told me if I felt uncomfortable leaving our baby home I could bring her there for no charge and I could pick her up after work. She saved our baby!!!!Our other baby broke her femur and she told us she could set it but she would recommend in taking her to a specialist in Columbus in which we did. But she said we could leave our baby there and pick her up in the morning so she could be more confine vs being bothered by our 3 other furbabies - we did this. Most vets would say...."Yes, I could do it" and go from there. Dr. San Miguel said she could do it but it would be better with a specialist. She could have kept the money but she didn't! She is honest, caring and she puts her whole heart into your babies.I also took my mother's dog there when he broke his nail all the way back. They were fast and quick to take care of him. They gave us some pain meds for him and within a couple of days - he was back to normal! I took him back for a recheck and it was perfect!I am just thrilled that they are reopening again for emergencies! I would not go anywhere else but there now. People say go to the vet school in Auburn -- NO WAY all they want is your $$$.Highly recommend Furbuds!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE STAFF!!!!

My son had to make the tough decision to put down his precious companion of many years. He asked me if I would go with him once he found the right place to go. He called around to several places in Columbus (where he lives) and I called around to several places in Opelika-Auburn (where I live). Based on nothing more than the helpfulness and warmness of the lady over the phone - Fur Buds was selected. From the outside, the building is not very inviting and as we drove up I second guessed our decision to go there. But once inside, let me tell you that I am so thankful that we chose them! The staff treated us as if we were the only people that mattered. We were immediately put in a private room and they talked to us and told us what to expect. They offered options for memory keepsakes as well. The room wasn't clinical. It was more like a den at home which made you feel even more comfortable. They took his fur baby away and then brought him back in a few minutes later. He was laying on a sterile table but they covered him with fluffy blankets and he looked so cozy laying there. They told my son to take all the time he needed to love on him and to let them know when we were ready. Once ready, the doctor came in and ever so lightly lifted up a corner of the blanket and did the injection. It was so thoughtful the way they did it. The doctor didn't say a word. Just slipped in and slipped out. Oh as she left she said to "take all the time you need." It was a wonderful experience at such a difficult time. I thank Fur Buds for everything they did to make the transition comfortable and seamless.

I have to express my sincerest appreciation for the staff that had a hand in taking care of our beloved Sydney, the Rottweiler on Saturday, March 9,2019. To the staff, I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and considerate group as yourselves. My fur baby was a very very sick girl and you all provided us with all the options and gave us the tools to use to help pay for procedures that most offices don’t offer. Although we lost our baby and gained an angel that night the staff was there to support us and really showed true sympathy for us and Sydney. My vet never called me back but you guys were ready and waiting for our girl when we arrived. I highly recommend this office for all your preventive annual check ups and emergency needs. You guys have absolutely made me stop and rethink my choices in vet care. I live in LaGrange Georgia, but for the service we received that dreadful night I know it’s well worth the drive to Opelika Alabama to have the peace of mind in knowing my babies are receiving the ABSOLUTE BEST CARE OFFERED ANYWHERE AROUND! You will be seeing more of me and my family and our babies in the future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I know you all did everything you could for my girl. And thank you for the sweet sentiment I received in the mail today, I will forever cherish it! God bless you all! Sincerely, Kimberly Rowe Timothy Hall and children Kayleigh Tyler and Kyndal Rowe and Dylan Anderson

I have several options where I live for veterinarian care in my area. I drive 40 minutes out of the way to take my fur buddy to FurBuds. When I say these people are outstanding, I mean they meet all my expectations and then some. It starts the minute you open the door. You can tell they actually want you there. Crazy concept I know. As you approach the counter they pretty much have everything ready for you. If the world could be a quarter as friendly as these people it would be a wonderful place to live. You are put in a room really fast, rooms are clean with no crazy smells. The staff want to help your pet. It is obvious from the second they walk in. I'm amazed I actually get to speak. It's usually me saying a couple of words and the Vet takes over the conversation. Not here. They listen and ask relevant questions and don't make assumptions until all questions are answered. Once the staff and the Vet examined my buddy, they fully explained to me what they were going to do and the expense related. Oh I left out the most important part, Jack is not a nervous wreck when he visits. Again I would 100% recommend FurBuds

I had to let my fur baby go today and the vet and staff made it as easy and pleasant as possible. Gave me plenty of time to say goodbye. I will be returning with other pets for different reasons.

Even though my boy isn’t a regular client they helped me help my big rescue boy with a much needed surgery to remove hardware from a previous surgery that had started causing him lots of pain and jeopardizing his overall health and his leg. Dr marisol was one of few locally willing and able to do this surgery, even though she didn’t do the original surgery. It’s only 2 days post op and I can already tell the difference in Bruno’s overall health…already feels so much better!! Thank you Fur Buds for helping me and Bruno!! Bruno says thank you too!!

My dog has passed away.I love Furbud and vouch for them because their CBD powder product for dogs helped my furbaby so much. He was 17 years old and had arthritis. A friend gifted Charlie a pack of CBD powder and as soon as I started using it, he look more comfortable. I forgot to reorder once and saw that Charlie needed it. He was unable to walk, but as soon as I got the CBD in, he was able to walk again. This gave Charlie 6 more months with us before he had start showing signs that he needed to go to Doggy Heaven. I am so thankful for this product and would recommend it to any dog that has pain.
