This place is simply the best. So kind and understanding and comforted me when I had to put down one of my pet chickens. “It’s not just a chicken, it’s a pet”, they said. They offered to do anything they could for me and there was so much respect for me and my animal, it really touched my heart. Thank you so so much. You made this terrible situation bearable. I never had to wait long and their prices are more than reasonable. I will never go anywhere else for the needs of my pets. Read Less

The people here are outstanding. I called in a panic and they immediately worked in our fur baby, even though they already had a full schedule. Then we were heartbroken to hear that our baby had the parvo virus which is deadly. They acted quick but with a loving hand, keeping him for 4 days on antibiotics and i.v. fluids. On day 4 I received the call that pur fur baby was doing much better and able to come home. They saved our Max's life. Other vets charge outrageously for things like that but this vet was concerned more with saving our Max than about money. Their charges were very mimimal compared to others. So if you want wonderful, great, loving people to care for your fur babies while looking for reasonable, affordable pricing then this is thr place to go. Read Less

Let me preface this review by stating I rarely spend the time to comment on any review, or to rate a product. Some situations can't go unanswered. We adopted "Cubbie" from the SPCA. He was not Neutered. We had a couple of choices to take him for the surgery with the provided voucher given. Not knowing the experience we were about to have we chose Dodge City. My wife dropped him off Friday morning. We were told he would be available for pickup at 3:00PM. We arrived to pick up our new family member. The girl at the counter could not locate him in the computer. Several confusing minutes later she found him. He was also scheduled to get his 3rd set of puppy shots. They had trouble discerning the free neutering from SPCA and our paying the cost of his 3rd set of shots. The shots included a rabies vaccine, that is not needed until a puppy is 14 to 16 weeks old. Cubbie is 11 weeks old. We were told this is normal, it's not. They finally brought our Cubbie out to us. He was covered with dried feces. We were told he would need a bath. As we waited for our puppy in the waiting area, I witnessed on 2 occasions the giving or confusion of pet medication. The staff was poorly trained to say the least. I understand Veterinary Doctors do not make a great deal of money, but proper training of your staff is a must for return customers. We are like most people who's pets are an extension of the family. We expect a certain level of care and compassion for our pets, and we feel this was not achieved. Sad to say we will never be a return customer. Read Less

The doctor really helped me as far as price when my cat got injured. Although I have to say a few of the ladies at the front desk are a little disorganized and erratic. She brought me my cat carrier back broken on one side and when I mentioned it she just giggled and walked off. Read Less

Everyone was very friendly. I Had a very sweet dog that showed up at my house. The dog had their phone number and they contacted the owners so we came to the clinic so they could pick him up. I was so impressed that we are now switching to Dodge City Vet. Read Less

If you don't have an appointment, you may have to wait your turn. Though its the same way at Sherwood South, which is WAY more expensive. I have never waited more than 45 minutes, and there was a waiting room full of other pups in front of me so I expected to wait my turn. The staff is very friendly. The drs have been helpful with both of my dogs and the variety of issues I have brought them, all emergency visits. This will now be where I bring all my animals. Closer and much cheaper. Read Less

I came home to a bleeding and what I thought was a broken leg on my girl, I rushed her to dodge city vet and dr smith saw her right away. X-rays showed no break :) thank you Dr Smith for taking such good care of my baby girl and fitting us in last minute! Read Less

I love Dodge City! Everyone there treats my dogs like part of their family. The Vets are always patient with all my questions and I never have to worry about getting an appointment! Plus: Beaux likes to be "hugged" by Joseph! Thanks guys. Read Less

Always takes care of all my animals!!! Love them. I've brought my dwarf Nigerian goats,dwarf rabbits, Persian cat, pekingese puppy. Scott is always amazing and informative!! All the vets are knowledgeable,caring, and dedicated to the best well being of your pet. Love,love,love them. The girls up front are so sweet and very accommodating to whenever I need to bring any of my pets in right away. I can still picture me bringing my momma goat in with all three of her kids in the back of my sports car.Dr. Scott helped me get them all out and took care of all their needs and answered all one hundred of my questions. Lol. Oh, and special thanks to Ryan helping me pack all my goat crew everytime I come up there. Lol, especially cleaning up all their little messes they leave behind. Ryan your the best too.

I have been bringing my Yorkiepoo to Dodge City veterinary clinic for a little over a year now. I have always been impressed by how kind and attentive the doctors and staff are to the animals and their owners; however, today really increased my appreciation for this clinic. My dog became very ill today (which is a Sunday). When I called and got the answering service, a vet was on the phone with me immediately. Dr. Smith came and met us at the clinic to test and treat my baby within 20 minutes of my initial call. Dr. Smith immediately diagnosed my dog and treated her. He did not price gouge me, nor did he try to push expensive services that my dog did not need. I am so thankful for Dodge City veterinary clinic! I have always, and will still recommend this vet clinic to any animal owner! Read Less

I have brought all my dogs for years to see Dr. Smith. When I saw that they had been flooded, I worried about when they would reopen. It was time for my babies shots and I wasn't going anywhere else. Service is great and they are all so loving to my pets. It was kind of funny that there were no doors when we went. All the dogs wanted to go out the rooms and visit with the other dogs. I sure do love this place. Read Less

I was contacted by one of the employees here to make sure one of our babies was ok after seeing a dog that looked like her was at the animal shelter. She did this even though her own home was flooded and the clinic is also closed because it was flooded. Thank you for caring! We love everyone at Dodge City!! Praying for all of you! Read Less

i can not say enough about the care and prompt attention this veterinary office provides.my phoenix had a anaphylactic shock episode last night (a Sunday)around 9 pm.Dr Smith not only answered my phone call,he met me at the office.he opened up the clinic and he saved my Phoenix's life.of this i have no doubt.BRAVO!!!!! BEST VETS OFFICE AROUND!!!!!! Read Less

I have to share this. Where I live, my neighbor's and I share a neighborhood app where we all can ask for others opinions, sell items, talk about vandalism etc. One of my neighbor's dogs is having surgery and asked, "what's your opinion of Dodge City Vets?" Here are our responses, "Dr. Scott is awesome!" "Had my Yorkie spayed there... I like them very much, they are friendly and treat you like family." "Our dogs go there and Dr. Stephanie Thomas is super awesome!" Another said, "we have an old Dachshund that needed 8 teeth removed. Everything went well and the price was very reasonable! It's scary putting an old dog under Anesthesia." And last... "Dr. Stephanie's 2nd opinion saved my dogs life!" Just thought I'd share our opinions. I feel confident, you will feel the same.

I can't speak for as to why some people here have reported bad service. But I can say that after having been to several vets in the Baton Rouge Metro area, Dodge city has given my family the best care I have received. I have three dogs and have been using Dodge City for the past three years. Beside the routine care for my dogs (shots, heart worm medication, check-ups, etc.) I have used them for specialized services also. I have a dog that has had back issues and another dog that has Cushing's disease. If Dodge City was unable to provide care at their location, then they were able to recommend me to someone that they know for special care. Every time I walk in the clinic, I am greeted immediately or if they are really busy they will greet me as soon as they can. The staff knows my name and the names of my dogs and inquire about them and their well-being even if I am only there to get a nail trim. The prices for services are reasonable at the very least. The cost for medication (at least the medication we purchase there) is the best price around. I have shopped other pet pharmacies, Costco, and online, and Dodge City was still the least expensive. Like I said before...I can't speak for the care that others have received...but I do know that you cannot please everybody and maybe some of those who have had "bad" experiences are going to have bad experiences no matter where they go.

Terrible! Had a cat who developed diabetes, they prescribed a $100.00+ bottle of insulin. Other vets were appalled and I was able to find a very affordable insulin. Cat thrived for several years. When it was "time" we made APPOINTMENT for euthanasia. Office made us wait 45 minutes. Cat became distraught and died in my husbands arms while still in waiting room, WITH APPOINTMENT. Office/staff not at all compassionate. Read Less

We have pitbulls and we have chose dodge city for years now because they love our dogs for the heart our dogs have they don't hate on our PITBULLS they have treated everyone of my dogs with care and have had wonderful service since we have been with themRead Less

I have brought my pets to Dr Smith for over fifteen years. I love it there. The people are great. The service is awesome. I recommend everyone I know to go there. Before they do anything, they give me a price. I have friends that have gone to the other one and get a bill for way more than they were quoted. I own a business so I know who I rather deal with. The honest and up front one. Any time I had a pet pass away, they send me a card with a special note from each one of the vets. I really love them. I feel my dogs have lived so long because of them.

We use Dodge City Vet for all of our pets and they have been nothing but good to us and our animals. They are a little hectic sometimes, but that only attests to how much they care for their animals. If so many people are complaining on here then tell me- why is Dodge City always so busy if no one likes them? Read Less

I took my dog to Dodge City by my house in Denham Springs to be neutered, which should be a routine operation. When he got home I saw he had loose flaps of skin not holding together and was horrified. I immediately took him back and they said he was fine, that he had apparently licked off the surgical glue. I have never seen such a poorly sewn up incision. Luckily I had a week's worth of antibiotics at home to give him while he healed up, which he eventually did. Just had my other dog neutered at the Baton Rouge Spay and Neuter Clinic, and what a difference. Tiny little incision that was sewn up by people who cared and know what they are doing. Steer clear of Dodge City. In Denham Springs, Dr. Hood is good, or I have always heard good things bout Associated Veterinary Services on Greenwell Springs Road. Their low cost Spay Neuter clinic is a Gosend. To read more horror stories about Dodge City Veterinary Hospital, go to citysearch.com. Read Less

He'll gladly take your money but won't gladly correctly treat your pet after hours! Our 10 year old miniature Pomeranian had been treated there by the female veterinarian, she was good, and the main reason we went there. One night, our little dog would hardly get out of her bed. And when she would you could tell she wasn't feeling good because he tail was curled under. I felt her nose and it was hot and dry. We called Dodge City and was told to bring her in. She was seen by Dr. Smith, he immediately said she had a slipped disc in her back without taking x-rays. He gave her medicine and sent us on our way. When we asked about her nose being warm, if it meant she had a fever he said no. I've always heard when a dogs nose is warm then they have a fever. But, he still didn't take her temperature. 7 hours later our lil Rose died. The next day we called the vet to let him know and asked for him to return our call. It took him 2 days to do so. I feel if he had taken more time with her and not so rushed to get back to clean his horse stable, that our pet would still be alive! I'll never step back into that place nor will I ever recommend that place. I recommend you to NOT go! Read Less

I left my German Shepard there for four days during the Christmas holidays to visit my family. I am from Corpus Christi, TX and the kennels here were either full or they wanted WAY too much. Anyway, I picked her up and she was obviously excited to see us. The girl that brought her out mentioned she really didn't like being in the kennel. She looked O.K. at the time, we were on our way back home, so we left. On the trip, we were petting her to get her to settle down in the vehicle, when my wife noticed a marking on her nose and two scab like bumps on her head, about where the eyebrows would be. I didn't think much of it until the following day. The area where these bumps were, the fur just fell off and revealed a sore. They are probably from her trying to get out of the cage, I am guessing. If they get worse, I will have to bring her to vet to get checked out. Also, the night we got back home, and she was walking around, I noticed her spine was more prominent than normal, telling me she ate very little to nothing while she was in there. What bothers me is that if she was having such a hard time there (hurting herself and not eating), why didn't they call?I would have been more than happy to pick her up if it was that bad. This tells me that the people who care for the dogs in the kennel don't give a sh** about the animals in their care. These people are supposed to care for your animal and if anything is wrong, the owners should be contacted immediately. I will never go there again and tell anyone I know in that area to not go there. My dog will never put in a kennel again by the way, because obviously she doesn't like it. I will find alternate ways when I travel. Also, around here, every kennel I talked to said if you pick up your dog before noon, no charge for that day. I picked up my dog at 8:00 a.m., one hour after the opened, and got charged a full day. That's bad business! Read Less

We have been bringing our animals to Dodge City for almost 10 years now. They have amazing service and no matter how busy, they always get to you on time. Im doing a project for school and hoping to voulenteer there. Wouldnt go anywhere else! Read Less

My baby is at this vet as I write this review. Dr Ike seems genuinely concerned for her health & have been very blunt with me (which I appreciate greatly) I even got a pic of Dr Ike holding and cuddling my baby before they took her back for iv's.I don't know if they will be able to save my sweet baby, but I feel confident they will give it 100%. Yesterday, the vet even took her to get a 2nd & 3rd opinion from the other dr's who work there. So thoughtful and reassuring.Last year, I had the task of taking my kids (ex-husband's) dog to them. He had a disease and it was very agressive. Quick diagnosis & treatment. They did everything they could to save him, but it wasn't meant for him to live. I am really glad he was there & in good hands at the time of his passing. Read Less

All of my pets have gone here and the staff and doctors have always been very kind and caring. I can tell that they really love animals. My kitty has feline leukemia (got it from her mother as a baby) and they have been nothing but kind and understanding. Dr. Gary Sullivan is obviously a cat person. He fell in love with my kitty and when he called with the lab results I could tell in his voice that he wished it were better news. My two dogs love being boarded there when we go out of town because they get spoiled rotten. Don't believe all the bad reviews. Yes, some are going to have bad experiences at any vet's office, but personally I find everyone at Dodge City to be animal lovers. Read Less

I went to them because I had seen alot of Dr. Scott ear cropping patients at my job. First of all I walk in very nervous because of all the bad reviews I had read I am a black female and one review said they were racist totally not true because I was treated very nicely from the moment I walked through the door by staff and doctors. Maximus ear cropping went very well but when I took him home he hurt his ears twice and I had to take him back both times and everyone was very friendly and understanding. I was taking him to a vet that was cheaper but the vibe I felt from everyone was so nice that I'm glad I didn't belive what I had read and went to see for my self . Dodge city you have made a customer for life and I'm happyto have walked through your doors Thank you!!!! From Tekisha and Maximus. Read Less

Last week, I took my dachshund (Cleo) to Dodge City; to have a growth on her foot, looked at. The vet took a sample of the fluids and determined it could be cancerous. And she advised that the growth to be removed that day. I was hesitant, because the next day was Thanksgiving, and I didn?t want my dog staying over the holidays. The vet assured me that even though the office closed at noon (cause of the holidays), I could pick her up at 4 that afternoon. Before I left, I paid the bill so that in the afternoon I would not have to worry about the bill. About 2 hours later the vet called, and said that Cleo did very well in surgery. But when they opened the kennel cage, she tried to run out, and fell and busted her lip (she was still under anesthesia). The vet wanted to put her on anti-inflammatory just as a precaution, because of dachshund?s long backs. At 4 o?clock I picked up Cleo. Before I left I was charged for the anti-inflammatory, (which was a little aggravating, but it wasn?t a big deal). She had 2 or 3 staples in her foot. I asked if her foot needed a bandage, so she would not get it dirty, when she goes outside to go potty, and if she needed any antibiotics, they said no, she well be fine. I took Cleo home and laid her in the cage that was set up for her, and I kept a very close eye on her. When she tried to stand up she would cry. Not even 30 minutes after getting home, a staple was coming out of her foot, and the incision was opened. I called the vet, and of course, the answering service said they were closed until Saturday morning (Thanksgiving Holidays), and told me to go to the animal hospital. I spent the evening at the animal hospital. The animal hospital had to sedate her again, they took out the staples and tried to reclose incision using stitches. An hour later Cleo came walking out from the back, hobbling a little, but far from crying. Her foot was bandaged, they gave her some antibiotics to take home, and they suggested that I buy an e-collar (they said that when the foot started to heal it would start itching and she might try to take off the bandage). I went back the vet today to talk to them. They tried telling me that the dog tried to take the staple out (I watched her the entire 30 minutes she was at home). Then they said it could have come out because her foot started to swell. Obviously the feet do swell more, that?s the lowest part of your body (but they supposedly had given her anti-inflammatory medicine, when she fell out of the cage). They said that they use staples quite often! Umm, they won?t be using staples on my animals again. In a couple of days we are supposed to go have her stitches removed, I?ll be finding another vet!!
