Even though i have used the same veterinarian for almost 14 years and i totally trusted them for the services provided through out the life of my furbaby. Having a hard time accepting the truth and facing reality I had to say goodbye to my best friend Rascal. Using Chestnut animal clinic . By referral, I took my furbaby to have him put to sleep. Hardest thing I have ever did in my life. The vet and the staff were so kind, considerate and very compassionate with me helping make it bearable for me. As I said goodbye. If I ever adot another pet I will for sure be making them my preferred Clinic. Three weeks after I said goodbye I got a sympathy card in the mail from Chestnut Clinic that was signed by the Dr's and all the staff . I was so touched by thier actions! Even though i had used the same Veterinarian for almost 14 years and hundreds and thousands of dollars, I have yet to hear anything from the Vet used throughout all the years. It has proven to me that Chestnut Clinic trulely cares about thier patients and the customers!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!! Read Less

Well my visit there was not a pleasant. My 10 week old pup "Blu" was VERY sick and I was told by the vet that the outcome was not going to turn out good for "Blu" even if he was hospitalized. So unfortunately, I was faced with the decision to have him put downπ’. Most of the staff was nice/supportive but when it came to me having mixed emotions about deciding on putting him down or just taking him back home to provide comfort care to him the vet assistant understood. Then a few minutes later one on the receptionist comes to me and said "ma'am if you want to take him home in the present condition that he is in then I would have to contact the animal cruelty dept." My instance thought of this was how dare she even say something like that!! By all means I love my pets deeply and just because I was wanting to take him back home and provide comfort care to him was considered being cruel? The receptionist whole demeanor just made me feel more uncomfortable she didn't express any empathy toward me or my situation and the laughs from her didn't help. So that being said I know I will not be returning to this veterinary clinic again or recommend it to anyone. I want to thank the staff members again that was SUPPORTIVE toward me during "Blu's" visit there.π Read Less

The doctor seemed knowledgeable, but the front end staff left a bad taste in my mouth. I called the day before saying that I had a sneezing rat that I wanted looked at. I was told $35 over the phone. I asked the lady over the phone if I brought her cage mate in for a general exam if I would be charged an additional $35. I was told no, just $35 for both of them. Cool.
The rats are weighed, handled, and looked at briefly. Vet decides to treat for mycoplasmosis with two different antibiotics. I am not surprised, although unsure about the necessity of two different antibiotics at this stage. However, he is a vetrinarian and I am just a lady with internet access so I do not argue. They are not expensive medications. I wait while they grind up the medicines and add them to some sugar water.
When I go to pay I am told it is almost $80. Wait a minute... I was expecting closer to $50. I ask about the cost because it was much higher than I expected even taking the medications into account. I was charged $24 per rat, $5 + $7 for the two different antibiotics, and a $15 compounding fee. I tell them I was told it would be $35 for both rats. They basically tell me, sorry but not sorry. ~$80 please. I ask to talk to the doctor about this. One of the ladies say she is the one to speak to about it. I repeat that I was told $35 for both. She asks if I remembered who I had spoken to. Whoever was answering the phone at this time when I made the appointment. She asks a lady who had been sitting silently at the front desk with them through the whole exchange if she had told me $35. She confirmed that she had. The Supervisor lady apologizes, explains that most people do not remember who they spoke to over the phone & that the phone receptionist is still training, and instructs the cashier lady to charge me $17.50 per rat. I leave wondering why the lady who had spoken to me over the phone had not spoken up rather than sitting there silently while I was asking about this.
Also if I had known about the $15 compounding fee I would have just bought the meds online from a pet medicine website and ground it up myself. I was not told about it until they had already mixed it up and I was paying for everything. Read Less

My dog had not eaten in 24hrs and has a swollen abdomen. I showed up 15min after they opened, I didn't have an appointment and understandably they where booked on that Saturday! However this is clearly and emergency situation. The girl at the front desk told me I could wait, I told her that I could not wait in the lobby but I could wait across the street at my job because I was scheduled to work. I can see the clinic from my place of business and she tells me that they don't have time for that. Did she not have time to make the 15 second phone call, or she didn't have 3mins for me to walk across the street? For a place that should care for animals they were not willing to work with me during this emergency situation........after writing this review I was harassed on Fb by Dr. Shadoxx, he left a bad review about my services even tho he's never set foot in the salon. He demanded to know who treated my dog and the diagnosis. But they didn't care when I I was there. Read Less

Chestnut Animal Clinic has been treating my parents and my personal dogs for over 20 years. Dr. Shaddox is the most friendly and compassionate vet you'll find. Dr. Meurer is a super nice guy and an excellent doctor. Both are extremely experienced and very detailed in helping your pets. The entire staff is super friendly and always making our pets feel like their own. The staff also works hard to make the pets feel comfortable during exams and procedures. They offer and explain itemized estimates before any service to make sure you are financially comfortable with their work. The clinic facility is very clean and great equipment like digital X-Rays and a surgical laser that are much easier on the animal.
I frequently recommend them and would definitely tell anyone with a pet to take them to see the doctors and staff at Chestnut Animal Clinic.Read Less

We love the vets and the staff and groomers at Chestnut! They never fail to accommodate the needs of our three dogs and our cat, the vet techs are knowledgeable and helpful, and the vets will always take plenty of time to talk us through any issues when we have an appointment. We feel they honestly care about our pets, and will often ask affectionately about those who aren't with us when we're there. I also like being able to board our dogs and groom them at the vet's office, in case they need medical care for any reason.We honestly believe our pets live long lives because of the attentive, knowledgeable care they receive at Chestnut. When our beloved husky-shepherd cross was dying at nearly 14, they made it possible for us to bring our other dogs when he was put to sleep so that they would understand what happened and wouldn't be waiting for him to come home. Our older collie is now getting close to 14 years old, and is doing well, thanks to the expert care her heart problems and arthritis receive from our friends at Chestnut Small Animal Clinic.If you're looking for a vet in the Conway area, I don't believe you could do better than Chestnut! In fact, one of my friends drives her dogs from Little Rock because she's been so pleased with the service and care here. I would drive farther than that if I had to!
