Blue Ridge Plaza Animal Clinic

"Doc is knowledgeable and takes the time to speak with you about what’s going on. I’ve been taking care of my pets for 40 years and have seen many vets so I have a sense for those who genuinely want to help and those who would like to but their business is their primary motivation. Not saying that is wrong, but I am saying it’s nice to see someone really care and want to do what’s best for you pet."

"Dr. Tarantino is very thorough when working with our pets. I live in Belton and travel all the way to Raytown because we trust him immensely in treating our pets."

"Took my cat in for urgent (not emergency) care. Vet, tech, and receptionist all very caring and thorough. Reasonable prices. Then had to do it all over again a month later lol (different issue). Would highly recommend."

"Murphy tested, mom & dad approved! The staff were amazing with our Wheaten and his quirks. Will definitely visit again should the need arise. Thank you!"

"Dr. Tarantino and his clinic get 5 Stars from me. Please understand when you go here that it is a single doctor practice. It's just him, and his very small hard-working & multitasking team. We took our sweet buddy Neelix here for treatment, but unfortunately his illness (tumor) was undetectable due to its location. When we had to have Neelix put down, this kind doctor was so bothered by the fact that he couldn't figure out the illness that he did an autopsy free of charge. He then spent almost 2 hours on the phone with my husband that night to explain every picture he took (voluntarily) during the procedure. They made us an imprint of Neelix's paw, saved some of his fur for us, and Dr. Tarantino sent us a handwritten condolence card the following week. I truly appreciate the compassion we were shown during those bleak, snowy days...This all took place during the record deep freeze of February '21 and this clinic was still open, plus Dr. Tarantino made himself available after hours. Due to the pandemic he has struggled like many small businesses to keep a full time staff. Yet they are still there, doing the best they can with that same compassion and even a smile. Please approach this very caring, dedicated animal clinic with patience during these chaotic times. They love animals here, and it shows. ❤️"
