I was visiting from out of town when my 6 month old puppy was unwell, and I am so incredibly grateful we found Wilder Animal Hospital. In a moment that felt scary and uncertain, Dr. Quinn stepped in with such calm expertise and genuine care. The recommendations were thoughtful, thorough, and exactly what my puppy needed.
Nicole and Naomi at the front desk were exceptional. From the moment we walked in, they were warm, personable, and incredibly helpful. They didn’t just check us in, they made us feel supported. Their kindness truly eased my anxiety.
I was absolutely blown away by the level of attention, compassion, and professionalism this entire team provided. When you’re away from home and your puppy isn’t feeling well, that kind of care means everything. I left feeling relieved, reassured, and deeply grateful.
Thank you truly for treating my little one as if she were your own. It is rare to encounter a team this extraordinary!

I really appreciate the service and care my dog gets at Wilder Animal Hospital. We followed Dr. Quinn from another practice and now we mostly see Dr. Peterson. They are both great. Dr. Peterson has called me after hours and sent me emails checking on my dog, super appreciated. The techs are also great. The front office staff are sometimes friendly and sometimes not, I'm not sure if they're just busy/stressed or if maybe I've run into one or two who are less friendly than others. Overall a positive experience and I would recommend them!

Wilder Animal Hospital is the best. Love all the employees and Dr Liesl Peterson. They always take great care of my girlie. She was very lethargic and it turned out she had a blockage that was causing it. Today she's like a new kitty. She couldn't hold her head up yesterday and today she's walking around. She is still recovering but they do a fabulous job. I love the drop off and pick up later option for this trip because we had no idea what the issue was. Highly recommend....

I am not one to leave reviews but in this case I felt compelled to. Our sweet puppy fell very ill with a variety of mysterious symptoms that were hard to put together. Dr. Quinn and the entire staff were AMAZING. They acted quickly, were extremely thorough, communicative, and showed a sincere and genuine care for our puppy and our family. Thanks to Dr. Quinn, our puppy has fully recovered and I SO appreciate how she continues to care for us with thorough follows ups and an all around kind and loving presence. I feel so thankful and know that whatever may come up with our dog in the future, we are in the BEST hands! Thank you Dr. Quinn and Staff! With love, Miley’s family.

Dr. Quinn and her staff are The Best! Thorough, honest, kind and has loved my dogs. Went through the hardest time of my first dog’s end of life with her and also the joys of my new dog. Caring and compassionate through the ups and downs. ❤️
