The Cheerful Vet

The Cheerful Vet is a veterinary practice in Phoenix, Oregon, run by owners John and Anette Heaslet. Dr. Anette Heaslet is the primary veterinarian, with certification from the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society and training in veterinary integrative medicine. The practice describes its approach as medicine that works, drawing on both natural and conventional options, and it works for clients rather than suppliers or drug companies.

Surgery patients can have their owners stay with them through the sleep-in and recovery, and most go home the same day, for dogs and cats alike. The lobby offers fresh water or hot tea, and resting patients get soft blankets. The office is open weekdays, and the practice advises calling your own veterinarian directly for urgent matters rather than using the website contact form.
