Pet insurance pays, partly or in total, for veterinary treatment of the insured person's ill or injured pet. Some policies will pay out when the pet dies, or if it is lost or stolen. As veterinary medicine is increasingly employing expensive medical techniques and drugs, and owners have higher expectations for their pet's health care and standard of living than previously, the market for pet insurance has increased.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
This was my first time here. I took my puppy Moose for his first check up.The entire staff was so nice and friendly. They made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. They gave Moose a needle and a thorough examination and he didn't even know. He and I love them and would highly recommend them.

To start off, I am not a client of Imperial animal hospital. I called in need of urgent help regarding my very sick cat. My vet could not see us and her health was declining quickly. I called and they got us in that morning. They were so nice on the phone, and the only place that would see us ASAP. Although my sweetheart had to be put down, they were absolutely amazing and so caring. I can't thank you guys enough for your help and kindness through such a difficult time.
RIP Houdini

I brought my 100lb American Bulldog to this vet for a check-up because we had recently moved to the area as I wanted to discuss some of his chronic skin issues due to his breed. Dr. Amanda Wiltsie Thoonen was fear mongering and rude regarding our well educated choice to feed raw since he was 3 months old. We waiting for 40mins to see the vet and once we did she essentially blamed us for his ear/skin/stool problems even though it is well documented that this breed is extra sensitive and often has these specific problems. I will never take any of my animals here again. I will continue to drive the

The entire staff is so kind and professional, and Dr.H is very thorough with her explanations. She discusses things in a way that makes sense to pet owners who may not have as much veterinary medicine knowledge.
As new clients, we're very impressed with everyone at the clinic and look forward to bringing our furbies back again. (The furbies: maybe not so much, but a promisive treat will sweeten the deal)

Marbles and I are just wanting to send an extra thank you to Dr. Hotke and the team at Imperial Road Animal Hospital. I had an appointment for our 2 barn cats to get vaccinated this morning. Unfortunately, only… Marbles was able to be captured for the adventure. Everyone was so kind and understanding. The availability of an iPad to communicate with the vet and vet tech allowed me to actually participate in the appointment and monitor how Marbles was doing from my vehicle was just great. Thank you so much for always going the extra mile Imperial Road! You guys are the best!!

Been bringing family members here since they opened and to Dr. Robertshaw and Dr. Moncrief for 4 decades.
Since the early days, they have added many wonderful new partners and staff. Their knowledge, skill and compassion are second to none. And they are wonderfully patient with both their animal and human clients!

I've been meaning to give this review for a while. On December 3rd We unexpectedly had to put our beloved Shih Tzu Cherokee down. We knew we were going to be devastated when we eventually lost her but not this devastated. We were so impressed by Dr. Mandy Wiltsie-Thoonen and her staff. They all new Cherokee well. The care and compassion they exhibited was above and beyond. With an equal blend of sympathy and empathy Dr. Mandy euthanized Cherokee whose final minutes we're relaxed. & dignified. When your veterinarian tears up you know you've come to the right place.

Today I needed to get my dog Libby in for an urgent appointment. The clinic is very busy and they still got me in within 2 hours AND stayed past closing to finish caring for my pet. I've been with this veterinary clinic for years and can't say enough good things about the customer service and care I/my pets receive. Highly recommend! 🙂🙂🙂
