Very caring and loving staff. I haven't been in in awhile as I had to have my dog put down. They did their very best to make that happen with as little trauma as possible. Great care for pets!

Great Vet. I have been coming here for more than 30 years. The doctor and the staff have always been straightforward about the needs of my pets and they have always been kind to us. I have never felt ripped off here. The rates are fair and reasonable. Today I had to say goodbye to Princess. She has been in my family for 13 years. She received great care over the years and was made comfortable by the staff as I said goodbye. Thank you TVH for everything you do. Read Less

Was told my deceased Chihuahua would be ready in week. I was offered a few options with of course, upgrades. And as grieving pet parent I was probably taken advantage of. At least it feals that way.  I was told, assured it would take one week to get my baby back and was all of the sudden told that because of the urn I chose it would take an additional week. That was never an issue when I dropped off the corpse. I hope that is my pet and not some random ashes. Thankfully I don't know how they treat live pets, but as far as dead pets, lies and excuses. I don't think I'll ever be back other than to pick up the urn. SAD, Fucken sad! Read Less

I am so glad I found this place!  My kitty had swelling in his face and I was worried it was an abscess.  I took him to an ER that was charging me $2,000 for surgery and overnight stay, talking about removing his tooth and that he might have cancer. Needless to say I couldn't afford the bill. I waited until the next day and brought my cat here. Dr. Said he didn't need surgery because he didn't have an abscess.  He'd just had a bad reaction to a bug bite!  A shot of steroids and antibiotics later and kitty has no swelling.  He could have fooled me and slapped on a hefty bill, but instead he was honest and fixed my cat up for less than 10% of what the ER was charging me.  I am so grateful I found this place and will continue to bring my pets here whenever necessary.

Several years ago, a kitten of about 3 months showed up with his mama and two brothers at my parent's house in Southeastern New Mexico.Instantly, I fell in love with his regal posture. His short grey fur. His beautiful gaze. And the way he meowed. I begged my husband to let him into our home in which we already (at the time) had 3 cats. We named him Kingston.Fast forward to last night (9/29/15) when we noticed an abscess near his rectum. I was devastated. We had been on vacation for about a week and had not noticed any changes with Kingston let alone the abscess. That night, though, the discharge was fairly frequent. King, as we often call him, was much more talkative than usual. He was a bit lethargic, yet, jumping in his usual places, eating and drinking normally, and had been - as best I could tell - defecating like usual. At first feared the open sore was ringworms, then possibly a ruptured anal gland. It was neither, according to the doctor.I've had my share of visits in veterinaries. After quickly reviewing several area offices/hospitals later that night, I took a chance on the Thomas Veterinary Hospital and I haven't a single regret.An appointment was not necessary, I was told on the phone. So we came in at 10:30 a.m. I filled out a form. We had our exam. Diagnosis. Treatment. Even chatted with them a while. We were out the door by 11:00 a.m.The staff was exceptionally nice. Extremely helpful. They even carried King in his carrier back to my vehicle while I wrangled our two human daughters. Because I had mentioned I found them using Yelp and we were first-time patients, King's office examination fee ($40) was waived. Dr. Shargani is the main reason I give them 5 stars, though. I do not take well to doctors who are not direct and ask seemingly irrelevant questions. He was no non-sense. Direct. Not too detail-oriented, but King's case was fairly simple. They shaved his bottom a bit. Asked me if they could trim his nails which I was hesitant in allowing. Administered an antibiotic injection ($50). Lastly, I was shown how to administer King's oral antibiotic ($20) by Dr. Shargani himself.In hindsight, I also appreciated their listening to me about not wanting to simply drop King off. I've dropped off animals before at vet offices only to have my stomach in knots the entire time & a huge lack of communication. My instincts tell me that King's abscess will diminish as Dr. Shargani suggested it will within the next week or so. For that matter, I will return to TVH for all of our furry loved ones.Review #403Yelp challenge 84/100 Read Less

I am a dedicated animal lover We both have service dogs . THEY come first , not because they insure our saftey during nedical issues , but tgat WE LOVE THEM. They are members of our Family. We all hurt if they hurt. You IDIOT my entire familys care and well being was in your hands,and you didnt even give a damn They should take your liscence away. You shouldnt have tge ability to treat an Ant dying of natural causes. Because I know and trust your staff, which are wonderful kind and compassionate women, I feel so bad for them working for a MONSTER like you. You should be put down like a Dog with rabies padt point of being treated. Close your doors . They deserve an Awesome employer. Not a modern day Hitler........ Read Less

Several years ago, a kitten of about 3 months showed up with his mama and two brothers at my parent's house in Southeastern New Mexico.Instantly, I fell in love with his regal posture. His short grey fur. His beautiful gaze. And the way he meowed. I begged my husband to let him into our home in which we already (at the time) had 3 cats. We named him Kingston.Fast forward to last night (9/29/15) when we noticed an abscess near his rectum. I was devastated. We had been on vacation for about a week and had not noticed any changes with Kingston let alone the abscess. That night, though, the discharge was fairly frequent. King, as we often call him, was much more talkative than usual. He was a bit lethargic, yet, jumping in his usual places, eating and drinking normally, and had been - as best I could tell - defecating like usual. At first feared the open sore was ringworms, then possibly a ruptured anal gland. It was neither, according to the doctor.I've had my share of visits in veterinaries. After quickly reviewing several area offices/hospitals later that night, I took a chance on the Thomas Veterinary Hospital and I haven't a single regret.An appointment was not necessary, I was told on the phone. So we came in at 10:30 a.m. I filled out a form. We had our exam. Diagnosis. Treatment. Even chatted with them a while. We were out the door by 11:00 a.m.The staff was exceptionally nice. Extremely helpful. They even carried King in his carrier back to my vehicle while I wrangled our two human daughters. Because I had mentioned I found them using Yelp and we were first-time patients, King's office examination fee ($40) was waived. Dr. Shargani is the main reason I give them 5 stars, though. I do not take well to doctors who are not direct and ask seemingly irrelevant questions. He was no non-sense. Direct. Not too detail-oriented, but King's case was fairly simple. They shaved his bottom a bit. Asked me if they could trim his nails which I was hesitant in allowing. Administered an antibiotic injection ($50). Lastly, I was shown how to administer King's oral antibiotic ($20) by Dr. Shargani himself.In hindsight, I also appreciated their listening to me about not wanting to simply drop King off. I've dropped off animals before at vet offices only to have my stomach in knots the entire time & a huge lack of communication. My instincts tell me that King's abscess will diminish as Dr. Shargani suggested it will within the next week or so. For that matter, I will return to TVH for all of our furry loved ones.Review #403Yelp challenge 84/100 Read Less

In the last 3 weeks, I have had two of my fuzzy family members come down with serious illness, one life-threatening. Not only were they taken immediate care of, caringly and professionally, but, both are now on the mend and pretty happy campers! And, so is momma! Dr. Shargani and staff are carrying on the tradition that Dr. Thomas started many years ago, and I've been a loyal patients' momma every since. And will remain so! Read Less

I thought my cat might be pregnant so i toke her in to see the vet and he said she wasnt pregnant. We dicided to schedule her to get spayed and in the middle of the sergery it turned out that she was pregnant and they didnt realize it untill it was too late. I was very upset. I didnt want to get rid of the kittens, i wanted to keep them then get her spayed. I lost trust in that vet. Hope this doesnt happen to you. My previous experience with them was good. but this last one was big and meant alot to me. Read Less

I feel very badly for the person who lost the dog but my experience with this clinic has been positive. The staff are knowledgeable and caring. The prices are great compared to other vets - a real consideration during these economic times. And service is personal, including follow-up with phone calls after visit. I do not hesitate to recommend them. Read Less

Our experience was to say the least terrible. It seems they prefer cash over care. Due to their diligence, a 16 year family member passed away.
