How we picked vets in The Hills District

The list is ordered by customer feedback, weighted so that a clinic with only a handful of reviews doesn't outrank one with a long record, then by the range of care listed, the animals seen, and an in-house X-ray and lab. Each clinic's own pages were read for the care it offers, its hours and what happens after hours, and only shared themes from customers were used.
