Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital
Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital is one of our primary veterinarians. W e have been so blessed by them!
Dr. Murray is the lead vet. A very knowledgeable and caring man, he truly loves animals. I remember seeing a young woman come in with a pet in a small carrier. Genuinely concerned about her animal, he spoke to her at length, the condition and various options available, leaving the final decision up to her. Wasn’t I surprised when everyone stepped back and I realized they were discussing a rat. Don’t get me wrong; if rats are your thing, more power to you. It’s just I figured it had to be someone’s prize Persian cat for all the time and empathy he was expressing!
Dr. Donastorg and Dr. Hurley are also simply wonderful too. They always take the time to explain the situation to me without making me feel stupid. They’ve pulled out books, shown me photos, whatever it takes to help me understand. I really appreciate that; I can’t stand when I’m expected to do something without any explanation just because someone said so!
As great as the vets are, it is the staff that makes the place run so well. When I call, I know that Anna or Sheila will do their utmost to help me. And the vet techs? Wonderful! Brenda, Kim, Chris, Niki,…. they are a wealth of knowledge. They have never failed me. Once, when I called in tears because I thought one of my puppies was deathly ill, they had me rush in and quickly took samples, determining it was a simple bacterial infection.
Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital has a true heart for rescue. They really work closely with us to help us save as many pets as possible. Dr. Murray understands that the solution for decreasing the number of abandoned pets does not lie in rescue but in controlling pet population. With an eye toward that, his cost for spay/neuter is far, far below that of most vets in our area. And in order to keep pets healthy, each Saturday at select locations, Dr. Murray conducts a vaccination clinic with no exam fees or office charges. There he offers a full line of heartworm and flea and tick products along with all yearly vaccines. This is huge. Do you have any idea how many people don’t spay/neuter and ultimately surrender their pets because they can’t afford services? Thank you, Dr. Murray!
Aloma Jancy Animal Hospital treats animals of all species and size, including birds, horses and ferrets. And rats. Did I mention the rats? They provide grooming services and boarding. Located where SR417 passes over Aloma Avenue, they keeps late hours for those emergencies. Of course, I recommend that you always call ahead to ensure the vet has not been called away on an emergency.
