Four Peaks Animal Clinic

We have been taking our family pets to Dr. Pruitt at Four Peaks Animal Clinic for over 15 years. We tell everyone we know how much we like them. We recently had the difficult task of taking our 13 + year old lab in to say goodbye. Dr. Pruitt made this difficult task as easy on us a possible to the point of staying well past business hours to let us say our final goodbyes. Thank you Dr. Pruitt! Read Less

Dr Pruitt is the kind of doctor you want and trust taking your pets in to see. I have taken several pets to see him over the years. He cares about your pet and you and that comes out in the attention he pays to you and your pet during visits, via overnight calls when he checks in your pet if you had to leave them overnight.  He and his partner Sheila are empathetic and kind. Because of these things, I trek from East Mesa to Shea and the 101 for my pet appointments. The quality of care they provide is superior. Read Less

Dr. Pruitt and his lovely wife, Sheila are the very best friends my pets could ever want. They are kind, compassionate, competent, caring and knowledgeable. Dr. Pruitt ALWAYS takes the time to do a thorough physical, and explain everything plus cleaning ears and skin folds (we have 2 pugs) and most importantly talks to the owner about the lifestyle ...diet, coat, teeth, exercise, any behavior problems. We are extremely pleased with the Pruitts' care. Any Rxs that are needed and necessary are at a reasonable cost. Plus they also board. We have never utilized this but I would not hesitate to leave my pets with them. They are absolutely wonderful. We actually moved from Scottsdale to the other side of the valley and I gladly drive to Dr. Pruitt for his care. Read Less

This place is amazing. Dr. Pruitt and his wife are delightful and you never feel a "hard sell" on added services!!!! This is the first place that I WANT to take my dog in for a teeth cleaning because they are so attentive and go into so much detail about your dogs health.  One of our dogs had several tumors removed and the surgery went a bit late.  It was our 20th anniversary and we had dinner reservations.  The Pruitt's volunteered to keep our dog overnight at no charge so we could make our scheduled plans.I will never take our dogs anywhere else!

I have been taking my dog to Dr. Pruitt for 2 years now, and I have been thoroughly impressed. Having experienced vets that push products and suggest superfluous tests and treatments to rack up a bill, Four Peaks was a breath of fresh air. He has a very common sense approach to the care he suggests. With every diagnosis he lays out options, makes recommendations on what is best for the animal, and when prompted offers opinion on what is most cost effective or worthwhile. The rates are more than reasonable and I always leave feeling like I have gotten a very good value for the care provided.Read Less

They always go the extra mile here at Four Peaks Animal Clinic. They take the time to give you all the information on your animal, as well as calling you as late as 10 o'clock at night to let you know how the surgery went. I can't speak highly enough of this couple, who do so much for those we love so much. Thank you! Casey. Read Less

The care and attention given to my puppy was remarkable. I'd never had a vet spend so much time discussing the issues of my pet, answering all my questions and returned my calls even after hours. Truly amazing care! Read Less

We absolutely love Four Peaks Animal Clinic! We have 1 cat and 2 chihuahuas and we feel so taken care of every time we come in. Dr. Pruitt is so knowledgeable, caring and amazing with our little ones that we will never take them anywhere else. We originally heard about them through Paw Placement and couldn't be happier with our new vet! They are very affordable and an incredibly amazing! Our most recent visit was for our older chihuahua, Stella, she had a full teeth cleaning and a small. tumor removed from her side and she has made a speedy recovery. Her breath is much better and her teeth are beautiful. Her tumor that was removed from her side has heeled perfectly and Stella is back in action! Thank you Four Peaks Animal Clinic for always taking the utmost care and attention to our little family of chihuahuas and our silly cat Mac! Read Less

I can't say enough about Dr. Pruitt and his wife.  He performed surgery on our Maggie for a tumor. He stayed late and went back in the middle of the night to check on her. They care about the animals - he explained our options moving forward. Read Less

So thankful for Doc and his wife. I have been going to them for some years now and have referred others who are very happy with them also. Doc spends time with the animals and talks and explains everything to you as he is examining your pet. I wish doctors for humans were as caring. Prices are very reasonable too which shows that their first priority is the well being of the animal. You certainly don't see much of that these days!!! Thanks so much for all you have done and are doing...... Read Less

I love this place. Working in the animal industry and having previously worked at a vet clinic, you can tell right away that Dr. Pruitt and his wife truly want the best for the animals in their care. I love that their exam is incredibly thorough and that they explain what they are finding along the way. Their prices are amazing compared to vets in the area, and you get much more for what you pay for. If you want a vet who actually examines your pet rather than just check off vitals, Dr. Pruitt is the way to go. Read Less

I love the husband and wife couple that run this very clinic. They're very nice and knowledgable. I have a dog de bordeaux and an olde english bulldogge. My bulldogge is not easy to handle during the nail trim. 4 sedatives, 1 determined mamma and two helpers and we have a bulldog with short nails resulting in only 1 minor battle wound on me. I consider this a huge win! They've treated both of my animals for other things and I've always left happy.Their pricing is in line with all of the other clinics in the area. Read Less

We got a dog from a rescue and, after a day of diarrhea, brought the dog to Four Peaks due to a referral by the rescue. The clinic kept our dog overnight for 4 nights, citing that it was a "stress-related" sickness. When we got him back, the diarrhea continued so we brought him to another vet who identified within 50 minutes that the dog had Giardia (worms) and was put on medication.Really? Four Peaks has a dog for 4 nights and doesn't even run a test for worms? I would be wary. Read Less

This is the place to go in Scottsdale for a reasonably priced, direct, and compassionate vet.Our dog is a rescue.  When we first got her, we took her to see another clinic on a recommendation -- we were disappointed, hit with ridiculous bills for basic exams and tests (First visit: ~$500, Second visit: ~$300), and the quality of service was just not there.We then decided to switch to Four Peaks on another recommendation.  I am so grateful for Dr. Pruitt.  Our dog has valley fever, and we've visited twice -- so far, we've had no issues and only the best things to say about Four Peaks.  The pricing is far more reasonable than what we've seen so far.  We pay just a little over half of what we were billed at the first clinic for the same services (cocci exam and other tests) -- with a better attitude from Dr. Pruitt.Dr. Pruitt and his wife are wonderful.  This is a small business, with a homely office, but you can tell that they care deeply about animals.  And looking at their information online, they even run their own rescue!  If my money's going to a vet, I'm happy for it to go to a vet that gives back to other animals.They give you a very personal experience -- I was with my dog at all times, and Dr. Pruitt answered all of my questions.  He took his time with us.  Our visit ended up being upward of 45 minutes, just filled with conversation about our dog and her health.  What pleased me was that when booking our most recent appointment, Sheila asked us to bring a urine sample.  A lot of other vets charge you a "specimen collection" fee, so I was glad that she had us do this instead of billing us an additional $30, $40, $50, for doing that themselves.Dr. Pruitt took the time and showed us how to brush our dog's teeth -- we've always had issues with it before, since our dog gets very jumpy about it.  At our last vet, we were told, "You need to brush her teeth," and that was it.  He even explains different medication options and reasons behind why he recommends certain types and how they may affect our dog, negatively or positively.  Not all vets do this -- they SHOULD, but they don't always.While we were there, the computer decided to shut down, so we couldn't get our itemized bill.  I thought I would have to call back later to ask for it, but we received it in the mail less than a week later!  We've also had no issues with getting information from them to file our pet insurance claims.I would highly recommend Four Peaks Animal Clinic.  So far, only great experiences.

My wife and I have been taking our Dogs there for several years.  Just recently had to put one of them down after 16 years,  Dr Pruit came to our house after hours to take care of this for us, while there We asked him to give the yearly shots to our other dogs and he went above and beyond by giving them their full yearly check ups too.  After that was all said and done he moved on to our older dog and Was very compassionate towards us and our dog.  He made the experience the best that he could for us and we really appreciated that. I would Highly recommend him to anyone that wants a no BS vet that get right to the point and doesn't sugar coat anything. Read Less

Funny to see the variance in reviews, thinking the one that lost her pet.  She thinks Dr. Pruitt should know exactly what all pets look like? I'm confused why it was his responsibility to take time away from his patients to track the owner down?  I would have been thankful for him to have taken care of my animal vs. shipping him/her off to the pound.All I know, he has taken care of 5 of my English Mastiffs over the years, and my snorkie, and my cat.   Recently I sent a friend who had been to three different places and they could not help.  This dog was so sick, and the care he gave to my friend's dog was wonderful!  I was so happy I had referred her to go see them.  Family run, and really good with the animals.   And yes, a fraction of the cost of other places.  He was completely thorough and checked her over and over, fed her and waited for her to move the food through her system and checked her out again.  I highly recommend.

I find it's interesting that the ratings are all 5s or 1s.  I expect it's because all of us pet lovers are so passionate about our loved animals.I am giving them a 5.   Dr. Pruitt is direct, but in a kind, appropriate and professional way.  As pet owners we can let our emotions cloud our judgement with regard to our pets, and you need someone like him to gently guide you through the decisions that need to be made.   And he is responsible and conscientious regarding tests and recommendations....and their prices are very, very reasonable.   (We used to go to Del Lago and after the new vet they brought in in 2010 charged us $500+ for 2 kitten check-ups we had to leave them.)And he and his wife couldn't be more compassionate and easy to work with.  We have had multiple emergencies and they always accommodate our needs.   And I have run into many fellow clients that feel the same way.  They go above and beyond at Four Peaks. Read Less

I am in my late 50s and have always had multiple pets and have seen many, many vets over the years - none of them match the care Dr. Pruitt and his staff give.  They've seen me through a few euthanasias with such compassion and understanding that I will always be grateful for the loving care they've given to both me and my pets.  They are so ready to give advice over the phone or offer suggestions that will save you money and are by far the most reasonably priced veterinarian service I have ever frequented. But I will always be a loyal client - not because of their rates - but because they truly, truly love animals and it shows in everything they do. Read Less

If you live anywhere near Shea and the 101, this is the vet to try for personalized service and reasonable pricing.  Our family has relied on Four Peaks for 10 years for several pets.  Both Dr. Pruitt and Sheila go above and beyond for their patients and pet owners.  They are always gracious, helpful, responsive, thoughtful with boarded pets, and willing to go out of their way, on their personal time, to help out an animal or a pet owner.  I love that we always deal with the same individuals, who know us and our pets.  Sheila and one employee always answer the phone, even after business hours if they are still in the building.  How many businesses do that?  Both Dr. Pruitt and Sheila extend themselves out of a passion for the animals under their care time and again.

My wife and love this place. We took our little guy for a cyst on the back of his neck. It was really bad and we thought that he might have to have surgery to get rid of it. They got us in right away and saw us the same day we called. There was no wait and I like the small office. I really like that it is not a huge clinic and the attention he gave to our dog (Harley) seemed very personal. He took his time and made sure he gave him a good once over. It turns out it was not as bad as we thought and we were able to take care of it that day without surgery. The prices are very reasonable and it is the only place we will be taking our dog in the future. We Will be scheduling a teeth cleaning soon as well... Read Less

Dr. Pruitt and his wife were always detailed and compassionate when helping me with my rescue dog Zinger. I credit Dr. Pruitt with helping me improve Zinger's health over a several year period. When I had to end Zinger's life, I felt it necessary to speak to Dr. Pruitt, as he had always told me "you both hit the jackpot when you met each other". I will always value him as a vet and as a person. Read Less

Dr. Pruitt's office isn't fancy or super glamourous but he is an experienced vet. His prices are the best you'll find in town.He did my cat's ear hematoma surgery on two different occasions. He is a great surgeon and did an amazing job! My kitty's ears healed nicely. I also used to volunteer at Paw Placement and thought he did an amazing job with all the cats. Read Less

Would never take my animals any where else. I like how you can see everything that is going on so you know what they are doing to your pet. The price is beyond reasonable. They care so much that you can call them after hours and get a phone call back. Will not go to anyone else. Dr. Pruitt took on caring for our sick puppy in the middle of her treatment because we could not afford another week of expensive hospital stays and they monitored her and made her feel like she was at home not a scary hospital until she was well enough to go home. Read Less

My girls, Abby, Emma & Sissy all receive outstanding care from Four Peaks Animal Clinic. My brother Bob recommended F.P.A.C., so I gave them a try and couldn't be happier. Dr. Pruitt is very caring and knowledgeable, he loves animals and gives each patient and owner focused attention. Pricing is reasonable for the quality of service provided. No frills, just great care!My previous Vet in N. Scottsdale provided very good care, but at a much higher cost. They support a large facility with significant overhead and their pricing reflects it.I have referred Dr. Pruitt to many friends, colleagues & family members, everyone is thrilled. Read Less

We adopted our cat from Paw Placement and have used Dr. Pruitt for continuing care.  He has shown dedication and thoroughness like no other vet we have ever known.  He is conservative and thoughtful in his treatment plan.  At one point our cat was very sick and required a lengthy hospital stay.  Dr. Pruitt called us every day (or night) and updated us on our kitty's condition.  He allowed us to come and visit our cat while hospitalized.  When discharge time came, Dr. Pruitt allowed us to come to the clinic on the weekend after hours so that our kitty did not have to spend another night in the hospital.  The final bill was about 1/3 what we might have expected.  Dr. Pruitt is caring, kind and considerate.  I only wish that he treated human patients too. Read Less

We have gone to Dr. Pruitt for the past 8 years and wouldn't go anywhere else.  We have 5 dogs and they have always been treated with the most compassion and care possible.  It is a small family business, so you always talk to the same people at the office and you feel like family. Read Less

I've been taking all of my pets to Four Peaks Animal Hospital for years now. We have 2 cats and 3 dogs ... one of our dogs is special needs. I love that exams are done in the same area as lab/testing room. So if anything needs to be done, they don't whisk your pet away to some other room. They do it all right there in front of you. Dr Pruitt is a bit of a talker, so you end up getting more information about your pet's condition and overall knowledge of a situation. He tends to go with the least aggressive treatment and see how your pet responds before going on to more invasive/expensive options. Sometimes the cost is about what you'd expect, but sometimes it seems low. Nobody likes spending a ton at the vet, but I can honestly say I've left their office before thinking - they really didn't charge enough for that. Bottom line, they're nice folks who care about pets.

This vet is great. He is obviously doing this because he cares about the animals. You will not find an immaculate waiting room or a bright shiny smile when you walk in. That is because it is a small operation where the focus is on the animal. I seems to be a Mom and Pop operation where the doctor works on the animal as well as the front desk and the phones. They dont waste your money on fancy waiting rooms and receptionists. I appreciate a vet who is there to fix your animal and not to create a reson for markup wherever possible. I have brought my cats there several times. He is quick to treat the animal and will always give you a straight answer, even when it is not what you want to hear. I was tired of going to the Petsmart Vet where they trated your animal like a number but a paitient. There is another reviewer here that was upset because there were not detailed records of their pets stay. This is because the Dr. was most likely constantly around, instead of a high school kid vet tech making checkmarks on a standardized form. If you want a fancy lookinf office with a lot of employees that cost way too much, go to your typical vet. If you want someone who loves animals and will treat them and you with respect, even if they arent smiling, go to this vet. They work to hard and on too many animals to waste time trying to make you feel good about yoursel. After all it is about your pet, at least it should be. Go to this vet if you love your pet. If you just want a happy office visit and someone who doesn't giva a damn about your animal go somewhere else. Read Less

I would never recommend anyone bringing their pet here, especially cats. My kitten was hospitalized with them for 5 days and when I initially brought him, the Dr. said very carelessly "Cross your fingers he pulls through". They did not call me once to let me know how he was doing. When I asked if they could call me their response was, "You can call us once we are closed." They were very short, rude and defensive every time I called, just to see if he had made any progress.Since it was over a holiday weekend, I asked them to call me when they were closed since I didn't know what time they would be in to check on him. The Dr. said he would call early in the morning. By 1:30 pm I had not heard from him and so I called and he was just then there taking care of them and did not acknowledge it at all.When I was able to bring him home, I asked for his records and they said they just gave him fluids and anti-biotics and had nothing written down that I could take with me. Which makes me think they weren't really keeping track of his daily progress very well. Plus he came home with a wound on his arm with fur missing where they put his catheter in! I've never seen this lack of care from a vet before, you don't put tape directly on the skin.In addition to their lack of customer service and their bad attitude in caring for my kitten, their office does not appear very clean at all. When the Dr. was going to look at my kitten's ears, he wiped out the instrument with a q-tip, nothing else! Plus I didn't see any signs of them wiping or cleaning anything down from the dog that was in there before us.It is very small and unorganized. If they knew anything about cats, they would carry wet food to offer their clients and they don't.You will regret it if you go here! Read Less

I'm running far away from Four Peaks Animal Clinic. Dr. Pruitt is great and really nice for basic things, but a misdiagnosis resulted in my dog undergoing an unnecessary $400 surgery. If your dog has a suspicious lump, go elsewhere to have it looked at. There are other things also, but this was a huge mistake on his behalf. He put my dogs life at risk (anesthetic for the unneeded surgery)and im not having that! My dog is my life. Email me if you want more info. Read Less

I could not have found a better vet... Four Peaks Animal Clinic was referred to me by the animal shelter I got my new dog from and I really couldn't be happier. My little dog has been treated with such excellent care. The vet has kept me very informed and his is so caring for my little animal since he had to have his tail amputated because of a tumor. If you have been looking for a vet Four Peaks is the best. Read Less
