My senior dog had a late night emergency on 2/25/26 and the staff was amazing. Sam, the tech that was working, was so sweet and helpful and the doctor that evening was amazing.

Our dog was extremely ill. We made the decision to have her euthanized. We had good experience with Red Plains previously so, we took her in to be euthanized.

My cat was non-responsive and they were so good to her. The kindness and compassion was very clear, so was the competency. I loved how well they took care of her.

From the time we got here at 7pm Saturday night during a snow storm the staff really treated us so well! Everyone was so compassionate and really cared about the health of our dog.
