Dykes Veterinary Clinic

We have used Dr Dykes services for years. Great front staff and the Drs. Are amazing. Personable, caring and are on point with diagnosis . I trust Dr. Dyke with my fur babies lives. My family members also trust the team. I would have lost my Jessy( he was a kitten) from a dog attack but he is alive and well . Thank you! Read Less

I took our dog Ruckus in because he wasn't good, they took him in and had to keep him for a couple of day and got him on the track to getting better. Explaining everything well and took good care of our little family member. Read Less

Love all of the vets their. They are kind, compassionate and skilled. They help our rescue group so much, always have an ear if we have a concern and don't mind explaining things in detail (educating us). When we walk into Dykes Veterinary Clinic, its like walking in to see family! Read Less

Dr. Dykes is the Dr. Doolittle of South Baldwin. I've been taking my pets to Dr. Dykes since 1982 and he has always given them the utmost care. His love and respect for all creatures spills over to his employees, as well., as they are all so courteous! A crowded waiting room is what I'd expect from a very good vet who is honest, caring and is very reasonable! The wait is never long and always worth it to get expert care. Also not related to Dr Dykes, but my family and my parents have been happy customers for decades. Read Less

All of my birds are seen here, and my moms lil dog. As far as our family is concerned this clinic is the absolute B E S T !!! They are very caring and very gentle with older pets, and terrific with young ones. Occasionally there’s a bit of a wait, but no one minds because they are so good with our babies. I cannot recommend them highly enough I am not an employee nor a relative. I saw some reviewers were questioned about this Read Less

This is a fairly busy clinic, requiring some wait time. Given the quality of care by the veterinarians, I would gladly wait here before venturing to any other clinic in the area. My family and I have used this vet clinic for countless years, with several animals. These doctors genuinely care about mine and my family's animals. They have provided me with medical advice, medical treatments, and have even stood and cried with my family as we had to have our dog put to sleep. I have recently moved away from the area but still return to this clinic for advice and for medical treatments because I know that my animals will get the level of care that I expect from a good clinician. Read Less

I have taken my dogs to Dr. Dykes for years but lately the staff in the front is just rude. Especially the tall slender built older women with the long pepper black hair. I do not feel my dogs has been getting the one on one treatment that they did before. I personally have changed vets. Read Less

The people of Foley are incredibly lucky to have a vet like this one. My wife and I are from New Orleans and rented a place on the fish river where our dog got bitten by a snake. We called, and 20 mins later (after an 18 minute drive) we were in an exam room with Dr. Dyke. He and his whole staff treated us like we had been going there for years. Amazing people. So kind and concerned. They treated our dog, Newton, like he was part of the family. They treated us like family. They had Newt fixed up and good to go in a half hour. Dr. Dyke even took time out of his day off to call and check in on our silly dog. What amazing, caring service from a vet. Strangers. This is what makes this place so great. People of Foley, you owe it to yourselves and your pets to come here.Read Less

Everyone there acts like each & every animal is theirs. Dr. Dykes takes the time to explain everything and answers all of your questions. I thought my last vet was the best but that was before I met Dr. Dykes! Prices are very reasonable as well. Read Less

We contacted our regular vet on Wednesday afternoon due to the fact that our furry daughter was having intermittent episodes of vomiting and diarrhea for the past week.  Since this was the 3rd episode, we were concerned.  The receptionist told me that they did not have any openings until Monday!  This was unacceptable.  I called Dykes, and was told that I could come in and "wait" to be called in between  scheduled appointments-but our girl would be seen that day.  We arrived at 7:30am - when they opened and were seen by 8:10am.  Amazing!!!  The Dr. - Brent Walker was fabulous. He was very attentive, thorough and considerate of our questions and concerns.  The entire staff- in spite of it being crazy busy, paid great attention to detail and us and our girl.  Needless to say - we are switching vets!!!  She was prescribed medication and is back to her regular self after a day.  Thank you Dr Walker and staff for taking such great care of our baby!!!

Animal lovers dream Vet! The doctors and staff at Dykes Veterinary Clinic are superb. They genuinely care about the animals and owners. Only place I'm comfortable taking my 4 cats and Doberman . My dog can't wait to get in the building and see everyone! How often does a dog enjoy a trip to the Vet? Read Less

I love my vet he's great and always awesome with my puppy doctor Schreiber is mine. And the office staff are amazing as well in person and on the phone I love this place and this will be my main vet office for good!! Read Less

Dr Schreiber is wonderful. I have an old cat with heart disease. I moved from Daphne to Chattanooga and drive back because this is such a great place. I'll use an emergency vet up heart but other than that we go back to Dykes. I can't say enough good things about all of them! Read Less

A solid vet for the practical person that loves their pet. Even though the place was booked to capacity the vet still got down on the ground with my nervous dog to make him comfortable. Then they got me out the door with the most effective treatment for the lowest price possible. Definitely will be coming back. Read Less

We moved to The Grove nearly a year ago with our 4 animals. Two dogs and Two cats. We were a bit apprehensive about finding a new vet. Dyke's came highly recommend. The vet sat down on the floor with our little dog. Sammy loved him right away. We had taken Sammy to a vet in S.C. for 4 years. Not once was his cronic halitosis addressed. Here a bad tooth was found right away. Now his breat is so much better. Read Less

Trying to find a knowledgeable, kind, patient place to take my rats has been a struggle, but I think I found the one. They didn't charge an arm and a leg,(an issue I have found when going to "exotic vets". I knew what was wrong and what he needed and the doctor listened and confirmed my thoughts and got Gravy the medicine he needed. The vet (Schreiber) we saw was extremely patient with Gravy who would rather be in control of the situation and was very uncooperative. I enjoyed the place and plan on coming back again if/when my boys have issues again! Read Less

I'm not entirely sure if they want the story out there, so I'll keep it vague. Today, this place came through for me when 14 other places wouldn't. FOURTEEN!!!! And when I arrived, they thanked ME! I will never forget what y'all did today, for me and for the animal. The heart came through by many of your staff there today. Thank you. Read Less

I switched from a vet I've used for 19 yrs because my rescue dog has heartworms and they refused to prescribe meds for slow kill. This dog is hard to keep calm while living w 4 cats he loves to play w and he is terrified of a kennel. Dr Chris gave me an hr visit of answering questions & asking me things as well. He prescribed meds I needed for my rescue and charged less than my normal vet also. Great experience and they now have my 5 babies plus my referral Read Less

I took both of my little animals (cat & dog) in for care. When we walked in the door my little dog (a rescue) panicked; he trembled violently & let out a yelping cry with every breath. Our cat paced & panted. Dr. Schreibner & every Vet Tech we met treated both of my animals with compassion & care. Their shots appeared to be received painlessly (no reaction). & the exams went flawlessly. By the end of our appointment, both animals were calm & my little dog leapt into the Vet Tech's arms with a wagging tail. I strongly recommend Dykes Veterinary Clinic to all pet owners. Read Less

The BEST Vets in town. Our boy has been seen by Dr. Dykes, Dr.Langston, and Dr. Walker. All three are very down to earth, knowledgeable and never treat you like your dumb. Yes, you might have to wait briefly, but it's a clinic and waits happen. Where else can you just walk in with your pet? :) Bottom line....this is the best place to take your pet. You won't be sorry. Thank you all so much for your great care Read Less

I love Dr. Schriber, he is very competent and caring. This practice is so overcrowded for the facility. The staff cannot keep up with the demands of the appointed patients. They appear to be very caring but so hurried because of the work load. The facility is very outdated and has not been taken care of. Every room I have been in looks like it has not been cleaned in a long time. The wait time before you are put in a room and before you see a vet is unusually long. I will be looking for another vet. Read Less

Dykes has taken care of our animals for the past 4 years. We were worried about finding a great vet once we moved to South Baldwin. A few weeks ago we had to have a very beloved dog put down. This dog was a once in a lifetime dog. Without getting too emotional I have to say that Dykes Dr. Walker was exceptional in handling the whole event, from diagnosis to the final day. My husband and I both agree that it could not have been handled any better than what it was. A big thank you to the whole staff at Dykes. You have all shown such great care and love to the animals you treat. Read Less

My family and I have used Dr. Dykes and staff for over 35 years with dozens of cats and dogs of all sizes and pedigrees. He has the best staff and assistants in the world! They actually love your precious family pet as much as you do. The facilities are wonderful, and waiting room/area is very relaxing. Always first class, 5 Star service, even though they can be busy. It's always like you are the only one there when it comes to checking in, handling, seeing, treating and care of your pet! I truly wish I could find a human doctor, staff and facility to treat my family the way Dr. Dykes and staff treat animals!! BEST Veterinarian's in 200 miles or more. Read Less

The staff is awesome they are very helpful when you talk to them on the phone and ask a question if they don't know it they will take the time to find it out. The doctors are awesome too very patient with the parents of the love ones they bring in because our animals are our babies too. I want to thank everyone for all you do. Read Less

The vets here are good. Having said that. I have been here 4 times now   Never less than a 45 minute wait in the lobby.  By the time I see a vet and get the meds for my dogs, it is between an hour and a half to 2 hours before we leave. Today. I had a young lady at the front desk get totally disrespectful and talked down to me. This place needs help with people treatment Sitting here in a treatment room listening to young ladies laughing and having a good time while other people wait in the lobby Read Less

I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else! The doctor's are attentive to both pet and owner. They are conscious of pet costs, and do their best to keep costs down, but don't skimp on what is necessary. Everyone is friendly, and they seem to really love their furry clients. Just the best! Read Less

Dr. Langston at dykes animal clinic is AMAZING and truly cares about the animals and not monetary gain! He is very affordable and was so compassionate and understanding in our time of need! I highly recommend him to anyone! I drove over an hour to get to his office and can say it was worth every minute!! My dog is doing phenomenal after surgery all thanks to the staff at dykes! I cannot say enough good things! Read Less

Called at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night. I work evenings and had just gotten home from work. I have eight cats, three just inherited when my mother passed away a few months ago. Her three year old female has suddenly stopped eating and is very lethargic. I have a lot of experience with cats and usually things like that pass. I was worried enough to call the emergency person on call for this clinic and apparently woke him up. He asked me why I had waited so late to call and seemed very irritated that I had roused him. Didn't ask anything about symptoms or anything else about the cat. Didn't try to call back after I hung up on him. If this is the level of professionalism I could expect from this vet then I'll take my problems elsewhere. Make sure you call about emergencies when convenient for this guy. Read Less

I am new to town & will definitely make Dyke's our new vet! I brought my puppy in yesterday for an emergency visit & I didn't have to wait at all! They were quick to help & very professional. Just 24hrs later she was back to normal! Turns out she ingested some type of chemical but the injections & the medicine made her better within hours! Thank you so so much!!! Read Less

Usually this is a decent vet clinic, until my visit today. I came in because my dog hasn't been eating regularly and has been throwing up. They tell me nobody can see my dog. Kind of in shock due to the moderate seriousness of my dogs condition. "Come back later." No thanks. Read Less

This is a veterinarian who truly cares about animals.  He went way out of way to help us when we had to put our dog down. He showed kindness and was willing to come in on a Sunday.  I highly recommend this clinic if you're animal needs a true professional. Read Less

I have been taking my two cats to Dr Schreiber at Dr Dykes Vet Clinic for two years now. Dr. Schreiber is fantastic and genuine. One of my kitties got very sick and almost died last year. He treated him and tried to keep everything as reasonably priced as possible which I appreciated, because the Emergency Care Vet in Pensacola took advantage of me. He then called a week later on his own time to check on Henry. Excellent customer service and would highly recommend Dr. Schreiber! Read Less

We have used Doctor Dykes and his staff for thirty years, and have never had a problem. Dogs, cats, and exotic birds, this staff has treated all kinds of animals without issue. I have no problem recommending them to anyone who loves their pets, and needs help. Read Less

We have brought our pets to David Dykes and Team for 29 years. Once in a blue moon we have used other local vets however we have always found ourselves coming back to Dykes. They maintain a compassionate and well equiped practice with a staff that goes out of their way to make everyone feel special. David and his carefully selected crew of Animal Lovers have watched over and cared for our Rhodesian Ridgebacks from birth to old age. We currently have 5 adults and 4 puppies. Thanks to Doc Langston, who is a Reproductive genuis we have been able to make the dreams of many carefully selected families come true. Knowing I can stop by or call and pick the brains of these exceptional Vets has greatly enhanced our adventure in owning a Show and Therapy Dog Kennel.  We know our deeply loved dogs are cared for as if they belonged to the Team at Dykes. The Office was expanded and has a cheerful and spotlessly clean ambience and it is conviently located in the middle of town. We do not breed often, and when we do we know our puppy families appreciate the extent they go to when helping us put together our puppy manuals. Helping us include all health care information from their first visit to their ready to go home check up. Another local vet was used years ago when strongly suggested for Reproduction assistance. They managed to miss a heart murmur on one puppy in all of the many visits. At Dykes we do not need to worry that a casual approach will also equal mistakes or oversights. We can not give them any stronger praise than this, they have become a part of our family thanks to the exceptional love and care they give to every animal brought into their practice. Read Less

I need to let everyone know that my chihuahua-dachshund mix died because I took her to Dykes Animal Hospital on Friday, August 31, because of swelling on the side of her mouth, and they prescribed an antiibiotic that killed her. When I took her to the vet's office, she was happy and rambunctious. We went to this veterinarian because we were forced to evacuate to a friend's house because of Hurricane Isaac. By using a syringe to drain the swollen place, the veterinarian noticed a little blood at the end of the syringe, and declared it an abscess, even though she was not running fever. I told him she had been given Clavamox for months before getting her teeth pulled, because of a kidney infection. He prescribed SMZ-TMP and Clindamycin. She spit out her first dose of the SMZ-TMP on Friday, so Saturday morning, I put it on wet food. She had five doses (two per day) before I realized something was wrong on Monday, so I discontinued her meds and rushed her to my regular veterinarian in New Orleans first thing Tuesday morning. They told me that not only did she not have an abscess, but a swollen gland, that she was now in renal failure, and put her on an IV. By the afternoon, she was much better, able to stand and walk again, and even eating at the end of the day. She died in the night of renal failure. I have tried to contact the vet in Foley. asked them to call my vet for more information, so that this does not happen to another baby, but no response or even acknowledgement that they have received my messages. My dog was elderly and incontinent, but she was in no way sick when she went to that vet's office. SMZ-TMP kills older dogs with kidney issues. I want someone to learn from what happened to my baby girl. I know the veterinarian, Dr. Shriver, didn't mean to kill my dog, but his prescription did. RIP Cleopatra. I would give them zero stars if it was an option. This review won't bring my baby back, but maybe it will help someone else, or maybe some veterinarian will read this and learn from it. That's all that I can ask for at this point. Read Less

We have used Dr. Dykes and his associates for over 10 years, and have never had rude or un-professional treatment. So have several of our close friends. But, then again, we aren't snowbirds or yankees...... Read Less

I was very - surprisingly - DISPLEASED with the Doctor that treated my Cane Corso. He was very impatient and rough with our dog and had no compassion for him as an animal. He seemed ultimately displeased with having to deal with a difficult puppy and more or less told me I should put him down. Our puppy is extraordinarily large for a 6 month old. At 70 lbs. he takes a little more patience, in that he doesn't like to be appraoched quickly where he feels threatened. I feel the dr. was "too busy" and "to hurried" to be bothered. They charged me $96 dollars and didn't even take care of the issue we went in for. They charged me to sedate him and fecal clean up but did nothing about the lump on his head. I will not be returning. Read Less

I'll try to make this short - I could go on & on about how friendly the staff is - they always have smiles on their faces. Their prices are great & Dr. D ykes loves his patients! He has a calming effect on animals, even cats that really don't want to be there. He goes over every aspect of your pet's health & if you have one question or 50 questions, you won't feel stupid or rushed. There are 5 or 6 other vets that are closer to my house, but I wouldn't even consider going anywhere else! Highly recommended!!!!!!!! Read Less

Dr. Dykes is the most compassionate and skilled veterinarian with whom I have ever been associated. His staff displays the same compassion for animals and they obviously have a true commitment to the community of Foley. I make a 5 hour drive (one way) for my pet's annual checkup with Dr. Dykes, where she is treated with love, respect, and the utmost skill. Read Less
