Everyone from the person answering the phone to the Vet were kind and very helpful. My local vets really don't treat pigs, it was a relief to finally get some sound guidance on what to do. These pigs are my 3 kids first 4-H projects, thank you so much for helping us give them the best chance at recovering!

The best! We drove almost 5 hours to Dr. Pierdon's clinic, and it was absolutely worth it. He listens, cares, and is extremely communicative about his thoughts on what's going on as well as the results from testing. He quickly pinned down a serious ongoing issue we had been having and developed a supplement and vaccine protocol specific to our hogs and operation. Further, the rest of the staff is A+++ in helpfulness and customer service. Not only did we learn A LOT and fix the issue...we also drastically improved our operation with Dr. Pierdon's help. All the while, we were treated as if we had been long term clients through the whole process and they handled our case professionally and with a sense of urgency. The whole experience was meaningful and rewarding for us, especially after we had gone in circles for months. You cannot go wrong using Pierdon Swine Services. We will make the trip any day. Thank you Dr. Pierdon and staff!!
