The Veterinarians and staff at Tender Care are top-notch! We have a kitty who loves to eat things that he shouldn’t — they were able to give him the best care quickly! They truly go out of their way to make sure they’re doing what they can for the animals. We have been able to get in quickly for last-minute appointments, and the prices are reasonable for the excellent care they are getting!
DENNIS F.
This was our first time at Tender Care. We are very happy with the care we got from Dr. Lyons at the Morton location. Our dog had an ear infection and made it very hard trying to look at it. She, along with her assistant, was able to provide the care needed. We will definitely be going here now. Thank you!

The hospital is amazing. The staff are wonderful and friendly. They were very accommodating of my new puppy. The staff and Dr. Larson were great and explained everything thoroughly, from how visits work to caring for a new puppy and follow-up visits.
