At CountryChase Veterinary, caring for pets is our passion
Here, we treat pets like family. We understand how important your companion is to you — because they’re there for you through the thick and thin of life, with a wagging tail or a happy purr, and unconditional love. Our goal is to be your partner in taking care of your pet’s physical and mental wellbeing, so you can enjoy many happy years together. So, whether your pet needs a checkup with a doctor… a caring team and top-notch medical treatments when they’re ill… or, some advice on the best food for them or how to care for them at home — we’re here for you! At CountryChase, we see dogs and cats. And, we’ll strive to make their visit a comfortable and positive experience. Come in and get to know us, and see why both you and your pet will love coming here!

Happy Pet Parents
I just love Dr Grace! She is so sweet and took her time with my sweet old man Sebastian. The technician Sarah was very nice and helpful! Can't wait to bring my whole crew to be seen by her :) UPDATE: I brought in Stella (my sassy kitty) and Dr Jordan was so gentle and took her time with her. She was wonderful with her and I am so glad she had no issues there.
I am so thankful to have stumbled across this clinic. My dog was sick and they got me in immediately that day, they stayed until the very end of the day. Dr Jordan was very thorough and went through all of the options and discussed a plan. Less than 2 weeks later I called and got a same day appointment and they did a full check up and I have never been so pleased and thankful for this clinic! From the front desk to the doctors and their assistants, they do an amazing job. I will never go anywhere else!!! 100000/10
I have been at this vet for about a year and I’ve trusted them with my 4 precious puppies. Dr. Grace is easy to talk to and gives multiple recommendations on how to go about treatment. The office staff, technicians and doctors have all been polite and professional.
I’ve been going here for about 13 years and I’ve always had a good experience. My dog Oliver does not like anyone, but he does not mind going to the vet to see his vet tech Jessica and Dr. Grace. It’s amazing how Oliver responds to them. He does not like anyone.
My dog always has anxiety at the vet. We were traveling at the time she needed a vet and my son recommended here. Maggie, my dog was totally relaxed & calm. ( which is highly unusual!) The technician and the doctor were very nice & friendly. Dr Grace was informative & extremely thorough. I highly Recommend this place!
We cannot say enough good things about CountryChase Veterinary Hospital! Our two pups are always very nervous when visiting the vet, but the staff does a phenomenal job of calming them down and simply loving on them. We are so grateful for them and don't have a problem driving a little farther for them even though there are numerous clinics closer to our house. We know we can trust Dr. Grace and the entire staff with our pups and that gives us the peace of mind we need to keep coming back.
