Wir mussten gestern unseren Kater Malony wegen eines Zeckenbisses in die Praxis bringen. Wir bekamen sofort einen Termin und Frau Dr. Anna Bernasconi und ihr Team war sehr einfühlsam und ist sehr tierliebend! Wir fühlten uns sehr gut aufgehoben. Herzlichen Dank auch noch auf diesem Weg! Alles Gute und liebe Grüsse EB
