What recent reviews say

Every single review rates PetVet365 five stars. Owners of anxious and fearful pets report transformative experiences: dogs who once dreaded vet visits now eagerly pull toward the door. Staff invest time in "happy visits"-free, low-pressure sessions using treats and positive handling to build trust before actual care.

The practice leans heavily on Fear-Free methods and integrative medicine. Dr. German and her team (Max, Larissa, Dr. Erdman, Lindsay, Leticia among them) are named consistently for patience, thoroughness, and extending appointments to 30-45 minutes. Rooms mimic living rooms with couches and soft furnishings instead of metal tables. Pricing is noted as transparent and reasonable compared to corporate chains.

Common questions

Are free 'happy visits' really available?
Yes, according to reviews, they are free and many owners return weekly. A single visit can run 15 minutes or longer depending on the pet's comfort level. The goal is to acclimate the pet to staff, tools, and techniques before a paid appointment.
Do they offer weekend and emergency hours?
Yes, the clinic is open 7 days a week (per Google hours). Reviewers mention Saturday availability and at least one after-hours emergency visit for a chest injury.
What does 'Fear-Free' mean in practice here?
Staff avoid forcing procedures, allow pets to set the pace, use treats and positive reinforcement, design rooms to feel like home (couches instead of metal tables), and may split vaccines or recommend sedation for highly anxious pets rather than restraint.

Staff and vets treat nervous or fearful animals with calm patience, answering questions thoroughly and calling to check in after visits. Most reviewers praise transparent pricing and genuine care, though a few felt blindsided by blood test and medication costs or confused by care plan terms.

Reviewers consistently describe Wellshire as a standout clinic where veterinarians (especially Dr. Monica Watterud and Dr. Molly Cominsky) combine clinical skill with genuine compassion. Staff greet pets and owners like family, handle nervous or aggressive animals calmly, and take time to explain diagnoses and next steps. The hospital's strength lies in thorough exams that catch what other vets miss, accessible pricing, and a calming environment designed around pet comfort. Dogs, cats, and puppies keep returning; one reviewer has followed Dr. Watterud for 30 years.

Most owners report genuine care and affordable pricing, with vets like Dr. Cheng, Dr. Liu, and Dr. Hart taking unhurried time and sending follow-up texts. A smaller group faced serious lapses: misread pathology reports, distressed bloodwork with four failed attempts, and a missed ACL tear. Staff members Anne and Sara stand out as consistently helpful at the desk. One reviewer found shot-visit pricing steep at $85 exam plus $45 per vaccine. The clinic rebuilt trust after transitioning from All About Paws, with many long-term owners staying on. Surgical outcomes are praised across multiple reviews. Quality varies by visit, and owners with anxious pets generally report good experiences, though one bloodwork visit ended badly enough to deter return.
