Blacks Vets

Blacks Vets is a veterinary group (established in 1965) that describes itself as having “family values” and uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment. Recent reviews describe treatment of both a long-running, complicated cat abscess case and a kitten needing a swift diagnosis and medication started right away. Owners repeatedly mention being listened to and consulted on treatment plans, with clear explanations from vets and supportive front-desk staff. Multiple reviews also comment that appointments were easy to get and that pricing felt “reasonably priced” or “more affordable than most” (no specific fees quoted).
