Shawnee Animal Hospital

I have used this vet for all of my animals and have referred many of my friends to them. But after today I will never go back. I dont know what happened to this place but its nothing but lies and rude associates. I brought my puppy in and paid $500.00 out of the 3 options they gave me, for what they told me would treat her. I called every day and was always put on hold for over 15 min because no one knew how she was. We was told that we could finally pick her up, to get there and get told that we owe $550.00. What we paid first was just a deposit. Absolutley ridiculous. Sure would have been nice to know this before hand. We never got told it would cost anymore, even after calling everyday. Staff members just had to throw it up in our face that they saved our puppy. But shes still sick! Read Less

This clinic has the best Doctors. Dr Steward being a hall of fame vet says wonders about the care he gives. Dr Simpson is very compassionate and very informative. Your companion will be taken care of at this clinic. Read Less

This place is the best to take your pets to. I have taken all my dogs to them over several years. Always good customer service and they really treat the animals well. I am also fond of their sign, always have to read what's new on it. It is always entertaining, educational or humorous. I really think they are the best option to take your pets for care. Read Less

Love this place as an employee and client I have worked at other vet clinics and this is by far the best clinic around they are here to help day or night with you pets needs weather it be large or small animal or even exotic.. Read Less

Dr. Steward and his staff have been treating my performance horses and border collies for the last 12yrs. He's tackled several lameness injuries from chronic to broken and debilitating, all with great success. He's also provided successful diagnosis and treatment protocols for obscure long term health issues in which other vets had no answers. Their level of care and knowledge is extensive and always includes the owners and animals as a team effort, when it comes to finding the "needle in the haystack". I highly recommend Shawnee Animal Hospital for all your animals, big and small. Read Less

Family has been going there for years receiving great care for our racing thoroughbreds from young foals to geriatric in age. They also have a top notch facility for small animal care when our dogs get ill. I recommend them above anyone else for care of our animals. Read Less

I have been letting Dr Steward take care of my large and smal animals for decades and can say that they have always been given the best care possible. Has been in Shawnee for many years and is the only (Emergency after hours) animal hospital around. Glad to know that 24/7 they are available to care when we need them. Read Less

Overall GREAT place to bring your animals. They see large and small animals. Great staff and always friendly. Prices are great too. Among other vets around here they have the best price. 3 vets on staff and they do emergency calls 24/7 365. Read Less

So apparently if you do not agree with their Christian faith they delete your post and refuse to take responsibility for alienating some of their customer and instead of trying to bring them back in they insisted on pushing they further away myself my family and friends will be looking for other options even if it means driving further for care of the animals Read Less

Europeans were immigrants & refugees when they came and murdered my people. After burning my people's villages down and forced them onto the Trail of Tears, borders were eventually formed. But we were doing just fine before that - without the Europeans. Now that we've been colonized, we struggle daily. We have been for hundreds of years at the hands of European descendants and people like Trump. (Who just OK'ed a pipeline that invades Native land. So much for borders as long as it benefits the white man, right?) You should learn some things before you put out a message like that. And your wife can say all day that you took in a Black woman and helped her out, that's great. But you can be friends with people of color and still be racist. Will definitely never, ever come to this business or recommend it to anyone. Service wasn't that great anyways.Read Less

I was told they had a vet who would treat guinea pigs (guinea pigs are considered "exotic pets" not treated by all vets.) Took my little piggy in and he was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and I was sent home with amoxicillin. Double checked on-line before I administered it...thankfully I did. Amoxicillin is NOT an appropriate treatment for guinea pigs at all. In fact, that treatment could have been FATAL. Avoid this place if you have a guinea pig. They are clearly uninformed about exotics. Read Less

I try to stay out of Drama but yesterday I seen all the bashing yesterday & the news but yesterday was to much people were acting like a pack of wolves I seen one person write on a posts let's take down the sign seriously destroy someone else's property the person that wrote that is the problem with society that righteous crap I'm so sick of it. I'm sick of our society that if u don't agree with someone it's all out attack on them & destroy stuff if u have a problem go talk to the person instead of jumping to conclusions without all the facts and thinking about destroying someone stuff that they have work very hard for a vet is just like a emergency room doctor I've had this vet at my house at 2 in the morning trying to save a horse he has saved a few of my animal's from death plus Mike Stewart has been my vet and friend for over 20 years I might not always agree with him but I always respect him he is a amazing vet very smart man. I no he isn't a mean person but he has his opinion just like everyone else and what he put on that board was not intended to mean & malicious!! I support this vet and his clinic!! I might not always say it but Thank u Mike Stewart for everything u have done for my animal's and my family!!!! My animal's life comes first before politics and I trust him with all my animal's lives!!!Read Less

Ever since I was 6, we have brought out cats to Shawnee Animal hospital when they were sick. The staff there are so kind. The Vets are very gentile and do everything in thier power to make the sick animal feel at ease and comfortable. Thier political views don't matter to me when my cat is deathly sick in the middle of the night and needs treatment NOW. I would recommend and have recommended Shawnee animal hospital to anyone looking for a caring place to help thier pet. Read Less

My entire family has always gone here, but I'm glad that we no longer do. I have no problem in respecting another person's beliefs but to bring it into a business setting is very unprofessional. I read your post about helping minorities, but my heart is still unsettled. Believe what you may, but allowing your personal private beliefs to intertwine with your business was a bad move. My family treats our vets like family and just like family we don't always discuss controversial events. I hope that this was a lesson that politics need to stay in the home not in a business. I'm upset because my family loved going to y'all, but your lack of professionalism is concerning. Read Less

Doc, wife & wonderful Staff pay no attention to the hog wash that is filtered through some folks mouths! You are not only a great man but truly a blessing to our animals & their parents! Thank you all for the compassion, caring, loving, friendly environment that you share with us all! I will continue to drive that 25-30 miles just to experience this! Read Less

Best in The business and treat you like family as soon as you come in the door. Their compassion and qualifications can't be beat. I highly suggest you bring in your animals to be seen by a true professional. Animals are family and they deserve the best! Read Less

I'm pretty sure our animals dont recognize politics or really care what the sign has on it, when it comes to our animals lives being saved. Just as if we need medical care we dont even think about politics before someone is about to cut us open. Everyone has different views...get over it! Everyone these days are so quick to judge someone or something. Love Shawnee Animal Hospital. Read Less

Really.. Im native American and I dont take offense to the sign. Interpretation is the most skewed action a person can do... for what you read and interpret is an internal explanation of you! You read it for what you are! Racist see it as racist. I love this vet clinic. They are entitled to their beliefs and I in mine.. but when it comes to my animals, I dont care what is believed, I just care that the veterinarian healing my pet is top quality! And this clinic is. So for the extreme haters.. there are other vets you can choose. But your little detogatory ratings wont affect this busy clinic. Carry on!! Read Less

I refuse to condone the shamefully racist signs promoted at this business. Recently, a sign made a joke about the genocide of Native Americans. I will make it my mission to share this reprehensible behavior to my friends and family in Shawnee so that they do not patronize Shawnee Animal Hospital. Read Less

Do not take your animal here. I came up there with a dog having seizures back to back. He was a dog my sister found and I was trying to find the owner. I was willing to do a payment plan or care credit. I was declined care credit. They took $35 for a fee just to take him and lay him on a table and refused to do anything unless I coughed up what I didn't have. They refused to even put him down without more money. I had to bring him back home and he passed away before I could get him to the animal rescue. Do not take animals here unless you can pay out of pocket. The staff was rather rude and treated me worse the mire I tried to explain I had no money and that he was found. When I finally had no choice the vet told me we don't know if he has rabies don't get bit and was just all around unpleasant towards me. Again do not tale your animals here if it's an emergency and you don't have money in hand Read Less

What a phenomenal place. I found these folks after a long exhaustive search during an emergency situation. Daina Iman DVM met me at the facility at nearly midnight to help me. These are amazing, God driven people who know their business. You will not be dissatisfied. I will always owe these folks for their great attitude and fantastic hearts. Go here, you'll be happy.

I worked at Shawnee Animal Hospital this past year. It was the best job I ever had. The front desk staff is there to listen to your concerns, the kennel staff works hard to provide the best comfort and care for pets while they are boarding, and the vets give top-tier treatments with some of the best technology available. As a college intern, I was mentored by the technicians and veterinarians. I have worked at another animal hospital and can say you will be hard-pressed to find more caring people who love what they do. During my internship, I saw hundreds of people bring their pets in for wellness exams, emergencies, boarding, and hospitalizations. Most were clients that had been going to SAH for years. Unfortunately the reviews shown here are not an accurate reflection of the percentage of satisfied clientele. (Look at Shawnee Animal Hospital's Facebook page for more current reviews.) The vets and technicians are highly skilled and seek to educate owners on treatments and disease prevention to provide the best possible care for your animals. Read Less

My cat had a seriously infected foot with multiple sores. I described the symptoms to a retired vet tech friend who then suggested it sounded like classic foxtails in his feet and toes which caused an abscess. I called the vet to see what it would cost after giving all the details. I was quoted 60 from the vet from the details given, not the receptionist. I walked out paying 140 for the visit, cleaning his foot, and shots. All of which should have been expected in the initial quote. When I went in he had a 105 temp. They soaked his foot and scrubbed it, then gave an antibiotic shot. And suggested it was an animal bite and to give a rabies booster even though he had one less than 6 months prior. The vet never looked at the wounds. I asked about the fever and was told the antibiotics would bring it down, and to do epsom salt soaks. The fever did not go down, in fact it went up. His foot infection spread and his breathing was raspy and fast by the next night. I had put a fan on him, but it didn't help. I called the vet at 11pm. The same vet answered. I told her his foot has spread the rotting infection and his temp was very high and his breathing was bad. She asked if I soaked it, and I told her yes. She asked if it was with epsom salt and I told her yes. She said I could bring him in emergency if I wanted. I told her I could not afford a high emergency bill if she didn't do anything like last time, and since she didn't actually look at the wounds the first time, she can't tell how much worse it is. I told her I had used the fan but what else can I do for his fever at home since it didn't work. She didn't answer me. I told her that I need to do something, because it was most likely foxtails like I suggested in the first place and the infection is spreading, and she hung up on me. I brought him in the next day to have the other vet see him. I had thought the fever broke because he was better than the night before, but he had a fever of about 105 still. I can't imagine how high it had been the night before. The vet ultrasounded his foot and said the abscess had drained, but did not try to determine if it was bites or foxtails. I told him that he now has fluid in his lungs and is raspy and wet coughs. He used the stethoscope to listen, but never said anything to me. They just wrapped his foot and sent him home again today. Tonight his wet cough is much worse. He sounds like he has pneumonia and I don't know what to do. I do not have another 150 to pay another vet because of their incompetent care. Foxtails can reach vital organs and spread infection on the way, and you are not supposed to give animals with fevers, let alone high fevers, rabies shots. He is probably going to die from pneumonia now. Awful care. Read Less

This has to be the worst vet in Oklahoma!!! We took our small dog in on a Sunday to be treated for HGE he was very sick. When I arrived, the vet was not very informative, I asked if my dog would make it? They said not sure he was very sick. I didn't want my dog to suffer, so I trusted them and went ahead and starred treatment. I was told that it would cost us around 450 dollars. The dog stayed at the vet for a few days, and we called every day he was there. We were lucky if anybody would even talk to us or even call us back to give us a update. Finally on Wednesday we called to see how he was and they said he was better, and we could pick him up. They also said they would give him a bath and clean him up. When we arrived that 450 dollar bill was now up to 700. Note my 8 month pregnant wife was picking him up. They handed our dog to her and he was covered in fecices, she complained about the way he looked and about the price, they also charged us for bathing him. They showed no compassion. We took our poor dog home and watched him carefully, he was not getting better, we called several times to the vet to get some info, they were rude and never called back. Well we woke up this morning to our dog barely alive. My pregnant wife had to take him back to the vet covered in fecices and blood also having to carry out 18 month year old baby. Nobody came out to help her, and she explained everything I just wrote above. Well needless to say they had to put our dog down, and had the nerve to charge us to do so and was going to charge her more for them to take the body. We had no more money to spend on this situation, so they put our dog in a box and handed to my wife with baby. This place is horrible and I would not recommend anybody to even think about using them. They should have known from the get go our dog was to sick to make a recovery, instead they wanted to get that money and show no compassion. Makes me sick!!! Thanks for the high vet bill and dead dog!!!!!! Read Less

What a horrible place. I called to ask how to help my dying kitten from suffering. Since I couldn't afford their outrageous price to euthinize my poor kitty, the lady told me to cut his head off...disgusting and wicked people! Read Less

Been working for Dr Steward for 4 years and can honestly say I love my job. I have meet some of the most wonderful and caring people over the years and have worked with some of the best. Seeing what joy animals can bring to our lives and the care we give in return for their loyalty goes above and beyond anything words can ever say. Thank you Mike and Gay Steward for having me be a part of your family. Shawnee Animal Hospital is family owned business and has been around for many years and I am proud to be a part of the team. Read Less

Awesomeness is the only word I can say!! My cat was sick and I was between paydays...only had $50 to my name. They not only took care of Scar, but when I told the doctor that his brother was starting to get the same symptoms, he GAVE me a dose to bring home for George! (and my total bill was $50) Thank you Shawnee Animal Hospital for loving my fur babies as much as I do!!!! Read Less

I found out the "vet" who saw my beloved sissy wasn't a vet at all. I paid for a high school grad to take care of sissy. And guess what, she wasn't diagnosed correctly. It is shameful to be lied to ....if you go to a vet clinic, a vet should see your pet, not a pretender!!! Stay away! Dishonest Read Less

I'll always trust my furbabies to Dr. Steward. The staff was great and talked me through everything so I understood what was needing to be done. We left very happy and will continue to give our business to Shawnee Animal Hospital. Read Less

We have been going there for about 6 years and the vets and assistants have all been great.  We have gone for just shots and the occasional minor concern with our German Shepard and Boston Terrier.I do agree with the front desk needing to be happier. Check out could be quicker too. Read Less

The people who work reception are the first people customers deal with.  If you can't get people to pleasantly sit on their behinds and answer phones all day then there is a problem somewhere up the chain.  Shawnee Animal Hospital will not be getting my business after today. I called at about 9:25 a.m. to try to set an appointment for my pets. The girl who answered the phone sounded like she had just woken up. I asked if they treated rats and she said they had treated rats. I asked for clarification about weather there was a vet on staff who specialized in exotics and she said "ummm, no" so then I asked if the vet had much experience with rats and the receptionist said "wellll, he have seen them sooo I guess..." In a really snotty tone, as if I were some idiot just trying to bother her. I would rather drive all the way to OKC where I KNOW there is an experienced exotics vet who will see my rats. I have worked reception in a vet's office and none of the questions I asked were particularly difficult or unusual and there was absolutely no excuse for her lack of professionalism. I just moved and have, in addition to my rats two dogs and a cat that also need to have their first vet visit but we will go elsewhere to avoid dealing with ms. snotty pants. Read Less

I take my animals to Shawnee Animal and have for years. I use them for my horses and my dogs and cats. I have never had a bad experience at their office. The first time I walked in, the receptionist treated me like she had known me for years and made a point to come out from behind the desk to meet my dog. The techs are very caring and gentle with the animals. They always had an answer for my questions and gave me a bunch of things to read on (homework if you will) concerning heartworms, their shots and training for my new puppy we got a few months ago. I love the veterinarians at this office. Dr. Mike has always got a smile and a handshake for me. Hes a down to earth guy who treats you like a friend. I fully trust him with any of my pets and anything else for that matter. Dr. Bellinger is just as awesome. He was very informative and caring. Even when I was freaking out about nothing on an emergency at 4:00 in the morning, he was as nice as could be and took great care of my cat. I go nowhere else and I dont believe I will! Read Less

They did not answer my calls for an emergency for 1 hour and then did not come to meet me at the hospital for another hour and acted like it was not worth their time. This was the small animal doctor at the time. I believe that it was Scott. It has been a year ago.\nOf course my dog was too far gone by then and she died. I was devastated. I will never go back there and advise that no one else tries to call them for an emergency. I switched to the Tecumseh Vet Clinic. They are awsome!!! Read Less

The Shawnee Animal Hospital is a great place to take you animals. I'm so thankful I can take my pet rat there. They are not expensive either! The only thing I don't like about Shawnee Animal Hospital is that are to far away from me. I live in Midwest City!(; Read Less

everyone at sah is very compassionate and caring. we have had several dogs over the years. they have always been wonderful with us. always kind and understanding when you have to call in as an emergency. we would recommend them to everyone who cares about their pets large and small. Read Less

I have two very rowdy dogs. It seems they are always getting into something or needing to see the Vet. The people at SAH are always caring, concerned and always have time for them. Even if I call 50 times a week to ask the silliest questions they stop what they are doing and help. My animals will NEVER go to another vet but these guys. Thank you SAH for being great people! Read Less

I've used Shawnee Animal Hospital for everyone of my pets (dogs, cats, pot-bellied pigs, horses and goats) for over 35 years and received nothing but professional and exemplary service.\n\nMike & Scott helped take care of our Boston Terriers through the years and have always been caring and concerned about their health and well being. As an adult I had a Boston that got hit by a car late one evening. Scott (God rest his soul) met me at the office after hours and unfortunately my dog didn't survive. He stayed there while I mourned and was caring and compassionate throughout the process. Two days later I received the nicest sympathy card with a personal message from Mike. \n\nThis is one of dozens of stories I could tell about what great people they are. Linda is the best too! I know there are several new employees and vets that have joined the practice. They have also been helpful, knowledgeable and professional at all times.\n\nFor a few years I moved to Norman and took my pets to a vet there. They were expensive, uncaring and cold. Thank goodness I'm back in Shawnee where I know my animals will get the best care from Mike, Linda and the rest of the Shawnee Animal Hospital staff. Read Less

I would recommend this to everyone who is looking for quality vet care at a price they can afford. My whole family gets care for all of their animals here and none of us have had a bad experience. The staff is very courteous, confident, and helpful. Definately worth a drive. Read Less
