Pet Friends is the second Vet practice I have taken my dog to since moving back to the NE Columbia area a little over a year ago. I really like Dr. Lilly-Barre and her staff. They are wonderful! My little fur-baby likes them too! My only concern is in the cleanliness of their facility. It smells so badly at times I can hardly breathe when I am in there....and the last time I had my dog in for an exam....the exam room chairs and floor were very dirty with dog or cat hair from a previous client. I feel I speak from experience....as I used to work in a specialty vet hospital in Florida, and keeping a facility clean is difficult and takes time and work, but is so worth it to the clients that come in. It just helps instill confidence in the fact that your pet will be safe and not exposed to other animals illness's. I really don't want to change vets....Dr. Lilly Barre is fantastic, but it is very distressing to come in for a short visit and have to go home and change my clothes and take a shower again before going out to do other errands due the clinging odor from the clinic.
