This place is good for cheap medications and visits but every time we saw the vet it was basically ""what can we do/say/sell that is the quickest answer"" instead of actually taking time to really care/discuss the situation and figure it out. Also they do grooming but I could have done a better job myself at home. There's a reason they only charge $18 and found that out that frustrating way! My advice is to go there for meds but dont trust much else. ...read more

There are several flaws in your rambling review of Jackson County Animal Hospital. Let me start by saying that me and my family (parents AND children...3 generations) have been taking our pets exclusively to this clinic for more than 30 years and have yet to witness a single incident in which an animal was mistreated. I'd also like to mention the fact that the proprietor has been practicing Veterinary Medicine for more than 40 years and successfully owned and operated 3 small animal practices as well as 2 large animal operations.

I found Three Trails to be very caring, helpful, and honest. They have taken the time to explain what is important and have more to offer. They offered me samples of jt supplement and a trial of arthritis medication for my lab. The only bad thing that I can say is there is usually a wait- but they are usually always really busy, which also tells me something about the clinic- they are popular! They are worth the wait!!! ...read more
