“We have previously used AERC. At that time, they provided absolutely excellent care and service in repairing our cat's severely damaged rear leg. Our situation this time was with a different animal. However, the care, service and attention they provided was again first rate. They gave excellent advice and were friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend them.”
