They took care of our dog very well and followed up with phone calls to see how he was doing the next few days.

My sweet Rosie, a small Chihuahua mix took a very quick and unexpected turn towards the end and my family was met with the worst realization that our precious girl had to be put to rest at 15. When I called assisi they were very patient and understanding. We were a new patient here since our local vet had closed a few months back, and when we arrived they treated Rosie with such care and compassion. Gave us all the time needed in our final moments with my precious girl. It really was comforting seeing a caring staff, that really stood out to me and I appreciate it so much! My precious Rosie was cremated privately and presented beautifully, thank you to everyone at assisi!

Assisi was fantastic with attention and full medical care for our dog for her entire 15.5 years of her life and we are very grateful. I would highly recommend them for your pet.

I took my 6 year old English bulldog, Peaches, for an enema due to constipation on 1/15/26. She had one in August 2025 but needed another again. My husband dropped her off at 8:30AM, I get a text saying she is recovering around 2PM. 15 mins later my husband calls me frantically saying they are doing CPR on Peaches. I'm confused now since I recieved a text saying shes recovering. I call the vet and the receptionist also says they are doing CPR. I ask to speak to the vet, and the vet asks if I would like her to continue CPR. She informed me that have been doing CPR for 25 mins, at this point I realize Peaches is dead and I tell them to stop CPR. I asked why this happened, the vet responds with because shes a brachycephalic dog. My husband works only two blocks from me so we both leave work and head to the vet together. I'm crying my eyes out because Peaches was my first child, my husband is distraught but has to keep it together since we are driving. Peaches had no other health issues besides constipation, she should not have died. We get to the vet, the receptionist says sorry for your loss and points us to a room where they had Peaches body. The vet does not come to us at any point to say she is sorry or to go over the events as to what lead to Peaches untimely death. I shouldn't have lost my little girl. She went in for a simple procedure. This practice has no compassion and its all a money making business. See the attached photos to this review, the text message saying she is recovering (clearly she never recovered so it was misleading), the bill (for the enema which I have no idea if they did and the charge for CPR), and a picture of Peaches. I purchased her from a reputable breeder specifically so that she would not have any breathing issues. So in short, if you plan to take your pet there for a procedure that requires anesthesia, think again. You may leave with a dead body instead.
