Mariposa Veterinary Wellness Center

We love Mariposa. We have brought our Cocker Spaniel here for years. We have Dr. Carrier & he is wonderful. Not only does he take care of our fur baby medically, he has helped her with adjustments & used cold laser. It helped her recover from an injury so fast. Thank you Dr. Carrier!!

Mariposa is the best vet clinic I've been to, and I've been to many. The vets and staff are amazing, and they utilize standard medical practices as well as holistic practices to treat all animals to the best of their abilities. When no one else could figure out what was wrong with my dog, Mariposa correctly diagnosed her by the second visit and gave us a shockingly simple solution that prolonged her life by 4 years. (And for a giant breed dog, that's HUGE!) One of the biggest differences I noticed when I started going there is the lack of pressured up-selling. I've never once been pushed into extra treatments for pets or been shamed for not being able to afford the best option for an animal. They lay out all the options and tell you what they recommend if money is no object, and what they recommend if you are on a tight budget. And there's no judgement about which you choose. I can't rave enough about their vets, their staff, or their clinic. They are wonderful people who treat every animal as if it's their own favorite pet, and I won't go anywhere else.

We are definitely frequent flyers and with good reason. We have several pets but also a special needs bulldog. He loves going to the vet for his check ups, aquapuncture and medical manipulation. The amount of available services, typical veterinary care and alternative methods is unlimited. Love feeling like our kids are family when we visit. ♥️

Dr. Carrier took amazing care of my gecko! Highly recommend him and this place if you have an exotic pet. They are so kind and compassionate. Every single employee there you can genuinely cares about your pet. They even sent me a signed note by all the employees after she passed, very thoughtful. I appreciate them all!

I've had dogs all my life so I've been to many different vet clinics but Mariposa is unique. First, they are a "fear free" practice so there is no crowded waiting room full of barking dogs. Also, the exam rooms are very comfortable with no big metal tables. The vet and tech played with the dogs and gave them treats for at least 30 minutes while we talked. I was impressed by the thoroughness of the interview before they began the exam. They made sure all my questions were answered. The exam and immunizations occurred on the floor. Throughout the process they were focused on keeping the dogs comfortable and happy. Dr Kinnon was wonderful and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Mariposa.

In this journey called life there are many ups and downs. On the top of the list of the downs, is when we have to put our four-legged buddies down. Dr. Runnel has put both of my pugs down, one a year ago and today was the other one who was 17.5 yrs. old. She made the transition for me in a very loving, kind and compassionate way. Not all vets can deliver that, but she helped me so much today with saying goodbye to my little buddy. She is a mindful, gentle and caring person and could teach others how to show up that way when it’s time to say goodbye😢

I always feel better after an appointment with Dr Runnels (& staff). She's honest. My dog is 14 so that's appreciative. Doesn't perform unnecessary testing. Very safe environment. Wouldn't go anywhere else. We've been going here for 10 years.
