Our handsome middle-aged pitbull mix Rocket needed to be seen urgently and our regular vet couldn't fit them in. After doing a bit of online sleuthing, we came across Fairgrounds Animal Hospital and called to see if they could assist. Sharon and the front-office team were happy to listen to our concerns and were able to get us in the next day. Upon arriving, we were greeted and immediately taken into an exam room where Darby took wonderful care of us. He carefully listened and documented everything before taking Rocket back to be examined by Dr. Magda. After the exam, Dr. Magda came in and discussed possible treatment options. After finding ways to tailor the treatment plan to meet our needs while being mindful of budget limitations, we left Rocket with the team for the day. Upon returning, we were told how wonderful of a boy Rocket is and we discussed the procedures and next steps. Both Darby and Dr. Magda took their time with us and answered every question we had. Thank you to the Fairgrounds Team for such an excellent experience for us and our pets!

They always accommodate our needs when we go in. Our rotten dog(Rottweiler) does not tolerate other dogs or cats but LOVES people. They make sure no one is in lobby when we go in and out. We get reminders when her shots or check up are do soon. We love that they call to check on her after she's home from a surgery. The staff are all friendly and professional and take time to answer all our questions.

Love this place. Darby is an absolute peach. Hercules, our pug, loves him. Sharon, the front desk person, was attentive to our pet and super welcoming. 10/10 I recommend this place.

I recently rescued a shepherd mix with serious trust issues. When we showed up for a visit she was shaking and I learned a male doctor was going to see us. My anxiety rose a little bit because my dog is especially fearful of men. I brought treats to try and make this a positive experience. I told the staff my dog isn't mean or aggressive but just terrified of people she doesn't know. The staff gave her an examination in the room with me holding her. They absolutely took their time with her, gave her treats, made her comfy and we got through the whole exam with ZERO issues. We even had a muzzle on standby just in case. The staff were very compassionate and patient with a very nervous dog and I was so proud of my dog and her positive experience. It was a great day at the vet!!
