Great place. Has a family feel to it. I've been taking my dogs here for more than a decade. The doctors are friendly & knowledgeable. And, the staff is always willing to go that "extra mile" to ensure your pet is given the attention & care they need—whether it's an emergency surgery, or just a scheduled check-up. Reliably excellent. Read Less

Our dogs have been seeing the Tuomi's for nearly 10 years. Our oldest had a UTI, so we took her in to get antibiotics. Saw a different doctor, Noelle, who recommended expensive testing and medication. When we refused because our dog is a half-dead, cranky, 14-year old mutt, Dr. Noelle refused to fill our Predinisolone prescription. She wanted us to buy a different medication that costs almost $100 a month! Wondering what the kickback is for pushing doggie drugs? Read Less

HOWEVER Highland animal clinic is not this other animal clinic and Highland was one of the best experiences Ive ever had at a veterinarian clinic!!! The staff was extremely friendly. The veterinarian was extremely knowledgeable friendly and took the time to explain every concern that I had about my new puppy! All of them were amazing. A+++ service from start to finish. This will be my regular veterinarian from now on. I am so impressed with this establishment! Read Less

Had been going to a premium heath clinic for the past few years spending hundreds per visit sometimes thousands for 'premium service' I have a cat the constantly  kept getting UTIs and ear infections and they kept telling me it was because I was a bad care taker and that I needed to gov emu cat they're 40$ per pound bad of premium food if I was to be a good owner. Earlier this year my can jump from a high location and was limping and I was very concerned so I called the 'premium clinic' to get a quote and they said a minimum of $1300 for X-rays and blood work, in a full time student with a part time job and could t offered that so a friend recommended highland animal clinic, I called and they quoted me a high of $400 and a low of $60 surprised I decided to go there. The staff was so nice and the doctor was incredible, just within that one visit she diagnosed my can with a genetic disorder where he has decreased blood flow that was later confirmed that he had broken his femur, he has been in pain his whole life and was the cause of his constant UTI's and infections. This clinic diagnosed and treated my cat within one visits that the 'premium clinic' couldn't accomplish in the past two years. My cat had surgery and is doing amazing now. I will forever take my pets to this clinic and recommend to everyone to come here. Read Less

It appears that they just want to make there money off of their name brand prescriptions and make it very unnecessarily difficult/time consuming for you to order generic brands from outside pharmacies (reputable ones like Costco).

I would not recommend this clinic. I went here because it is a local clinic, but I was sorely disappointed with the service and policies.  I needed to get new arthritis meds for my elderly dog. When I try to get the generic prescription for the meds, the clinic dug their heels in. I just asked them to send the script to costco, who was waiting to receive the script so I could pick it up later in the day.  Nope.  They said they will not prescribe a generic med because they could not vouch for the efficacy of the generic meds (Seriously, do they not understand generic meds?!?), then they said that they would not send the script to the costco pharmacy.  They made me go pick it up in person across town, rather than just fax it to Costco..presumably to discourage people from using outside pharmacies, because that seems to be the only obvious reason.  Mind you I could just buy the name brand med at the vets office at a premium cost with less hassle, but I don't like to be pressured and strong armed.   I showed up to pick to the prescription to hand deliver it to costco and what do I see...the name brand drug advertised all over the clinic. I see why they made it so difficult to get generic meds... Seriously, if pet health and customer service was their top priority then this would not have been a big deal.  Now I had to make two trips across town and take time off from work.  Thanks for making my life more difficult than it needed to be today.  My dog needs surgery and now I have to look for another vet.....

Almost a month ago, I took my 9 year old pug, Emma, in for a dental exam and followed up with a cleaning. Emma had 21 teeth pulled and I have been amazed at how much she has benefited from the procedure. She acts like a young gal again! She is more playful and active than before and even eats better too! I had no idea how her poor dental health had been affecting her mood. This experience encouraged me to do much more to make sure Emma's (and her little brother Norman's) teeth stay as healthy as possible by brushing them everyday. Norman has actually started to enjoy having his teeth brushed and Emma tolerates it better than I had expected! I love this clinic. The staff is friendly and caring. Dr. Jennifer has helped Emma enormously! We are so thankful for her care! Read Less
