We have been taking our two dogs and two cats to Countryside for years. In the past year, Dr. Marotta has been extremely compassionate, thorough, and helpful as we have navigated our Pharaoh’s ongoing dermatology and allergy issues. He always takes the time to explain the treatment options, taking safety, price and efficacy into consideration so that we can make an educated decision. I appreciate his kind yet professional approach and trust him thoroughly with our four beloved fur babies.

The Veterinarians and staff are so knowledgable, thorough, compassionate and always treat my cat with such sensitivity. They are reasonable with their fees. I think anyone who cares for their pet must visit this clinic.
