What Our Pet Parents Are Saying
"We LOVE Willow Run! Lady Lucy always has the most wonderful time and I never worry about her being there for a visit or boarding because they love her and treat her like family every single time!🩷"
- Jennifer N.
"Communicate well via various means with a Deaf person. Dogs felt calm at the location. Friendly receptionists and medical staff. Kiss-fist (American Sign Language for “love it”)"
- ruben l.
"We have recently moved to NC and were looking for a vet for our dog. The staff at Willowrun were friendly, comforting and mindful of our dogs needs. She suffers from anxiety and the vet has always been very triggering to her. After observing the way they were able to keep her calm we have decided to stick with Willowrun for our dogs care."
- jill z.
"This was our first time visiting Willow Run so I didn't know what to expect. It was awesome. The exam room was specially set up for cats. My cat loved it. Dr. Gillfillan spent all the time I needed with her, no rush at all. The staff is very, very friendly and fun. I'm so glad I picked Willow Run. Thank you for making my cat feel special."
- Kathi J.
"They are always very patient with our girls. We take two lab-pit mix 60 and 70 pounders. They tell us things we need to look for as far as weight and the illnesses they could possibly get because of the size of the Dogs. They are very helpful folks."
- Don C.
