A few days ago, I took my approximately year and a half old dachshund in for some vaccines in the afternoon. Went and got some food then came home and ate it. Then took a nice nap. When I woke up, my dog was having some type of reaction to the vaccines. His face was puffy and swollen. Lethargic. Wanted to hide under the bed and be left alone. Then he started to vomit. By this time it was around 8pm and Crest was closed. So I called Dr. Lyle's emergency number and left a voicemail. He called me back quickly and said to meet him at Crest Animal Hospital. So we took our dog there and Dr. Lyle met us there. Opened a door and we went in with our dog. Dr. Lyle gave my dog a couple shots and said they would start working in 40 minutes to and hour or something like that. At no point did Dr Lyle seem annoyed, frustrated or displeased about having to pause his evening to return to work to help my dog. In fact, he was extremely pleasant, caring and compassionate. He also did not charge us anything for going out of his way to help. My dog improved significantly within a few hours and was back to normal the next morning. Dr Lyle even cared enough to call me the next morning to check up on my dog. We have been taking our dogs to Crest Animal Hospital for 8-9 years now. They have a great staff and Dr Lyle is a great Veterinarian. He has preformed two surgeries on two different previous dogs and had to stitch up another dog's foot after he sliced both sides open after running into some pruning shears I had left on the ground. All requiring anesthesia but at surprisingly affordable charges. My only issue are the price for getting a dogs nails trimmed and being a little nit picky here, but why install new benches that they don't want dogs on? But those are not big issues by any means considering the quality of Dr Lyle's knowledge and level of caring and compassion, that extends to his staff as well. So I say thank you to Dr Lyle for the great work that he does and is dedicated to.

We've taken our 2 cats and our dog there since 2014 and Dr. Lyle and his team are amazing. Very kind toward my spicey Orange Tabby who is not a fan of the vet.
