Doddridge Animal Clinic

My bulldog and best friend was in need of major surgery on inverted tail. I had took him to many other clinics intown and was turned away. I felt hopeless. I took him to Doddridge Animal Clinic. Dr. Rasco said yes to the surgery. Surgery went perfect and now i will only take him here. Best people and Clinic intown. I was told surgery could be 3000 and i was only charged 800. I highly recommend this Clinic. Read Less

All the people working here obviously love their work, they are helpful, considerate and an organized group. Very helpful, and very proactive in not only your pets care but the cost of it to you as well. Read Less

Good clinical skills. But they did build up pricing. Charging for more units of time than actual. Maybe to make the price match what they thought it was worth. I also objected to the general anesthetic. They prevailed. But Daisy was stitched and walking to the truck before it even started to kick in. A local would have been more appropriate. Seems clinical technique may be driven more by profit than appropriateness and efficacy. Read Less

This was my first time going to Doddridge Animal Clinic. I thought I'd try it out since i used to go to Baldwin Animal Clinic as walk-ins. It was very easy to schedule an appointment online with someone from the live chat on their website. Me and my pug were very nervous at first. We walked in and got welcomed by the staff at the desk. Filled out one sheet of basic information and that was it. They also have a small area outside where your pet can do their business (if needed) with a trash can and small bags. We were seen at our scheduled appointment at 10:20 am. They have a nice waiting area, and small private rooms for you while with the doctor. Everyone was very nice there from the front desk staff to the vet assistant to the DVM Colleen Beasom. She really took the time and explained everything that was happening with my pups eyes. We are going back for a check up tomorrow. These people have a big heart for animals. I highly recommend. Read Less

I've been using services at Doddrigge Animal Clinic for almost three years now and I'm grateful for the service I've received. The staff here saved my puppies lives when they were throwing up constantly due to ingesting treats once made here, now made in China. Love them! Read Less

We took our pup for her vaccinations and to be spayed. They were very informative and gave a no nonsense quoted price when I asked. They explained what they would be doing for us and told me exactly what I was paying for. They answered all of my questions as well and made sure my girl was comfortable and taken care of. Read Less

The Doddridge Animal Clinic staff and Doctors are the best!A few days ago, both of my dog's got sick and had been throwing up nonstop for over 24 hours. They couldn't even keep down water.  I called Doddridge Anand Clinic and was given an appointment for 30 minutes later. Colleen, the doctor, unexplained the costs of the tests she needed to run so I wouldn't be surprised. One of my  dog's was extremely dehydrated and had IV fluid injected under his skin. Both of them needed anti-naseua injections and antibiotics. I had given my dog's treats made in China and that was the only change in their normally excellent diet so I  was very scared.  It's been three days and my  fur babies are feeling better. I'm so grateful for the staff and Veterinary doctors at Doddridge Animal Clinic for saving my babies. Read Less

This place was a mess - and not due to their construction. Phone receptionist upon initial appointment was short and rushed, walking into their waiting room was terrifying as it was only about 100 sqft - perhaps its different now - but that was too close for comfort with other dogs and cats waiting. When the visit started, there wasn't an exam room to go into, just a back area, no one talked us through what to expect, they just went straight into vaccines and were bothered when I started asking questions. Odd and unprofessional experience. Read Less

Scared for the safety of one of our dogs, I took him to Doddridge the morning after he randomly lost control of all his legs (Sat, April 29). The doctor examined him, slowly running her fingers down his back and said it was clearly a bulged disc near the middle of the spin. I asked if she needed to take x-rays.She said no and prescribed a muscle relaxer and steroid, saying he should be able to walk again in a few days. Sadly, I trusted her. Our dog, Job, only got worse!! So, Monday AM (May 1) I rushed him to his regular vet in San Marcos. They gave him a pain medication and said they weren't going to waste my time - he needed to immediately admitted into an emergency hospital. The doctor at Doddridge was SO WRONG. Our dog needed spinal surgery for TWO discs (not in his lower back) but his neck! Even the spinal surgeon said that the fact that he wasn't able to control ANY of his legs should have been a sign that the bulged disc(s) was in his neck. Pills weren't going to solve anything nor the wasted steroid shot the doctor from Doddridge placed in his lower back! Our dog was hospitalized for a week. We JUST got him back yesterday and he will have to undergo months of therapy to walk again. I regret ever taking him to Doddridge! Wish they'd give me my $116 back so we can put it toward the thousands we just spent for his surgery. WHAT A WASTE! Read Less

I have been coming here for over 5 years. They always take good care of my little angels. The staff is friendly, the place is clean. the building itself is a little run down but they always provide quality care. They also provide you with friendly newsletters and post cards reminding you when you need to take your little one in for a check up. Read Less

My dog was acutely ill. I called the clinic on a Saturday. The staff person was friendly during the call. I was asked to bring my baby in after I gave her the symptoms and the staff person said to bring him in but we would be worked into the schedule. We did have a wait time. People who can't bring their animals during the week have the option of Saturday appointments. There are animals that are very ill and can't wait until Monday does create a wait time. The staff was friendly but did not introduce themselves or have name tags. Dr. Rodman diagnosed, treated him in a kindly manner and explained the treatman plan to me. The building was under construction. The waiting room was in a trailer with ramps in place for my baby and me making it easier to open the door to the makeshift waiting room. Nothing bad to say for adjustments that were made until the remodeling of the building is finished. Read Less

This is a place where the doctors and staff care about you and your pet. You are more than a number. Dr. Ashely Redmond and Erica helped our little dog today and we appreciated their attention and thoroughness. We love them. Read Less

We came here without an appointment and they got us in 30 minutes later. The veterinarians and staff are awesome. You can tell they genuinely care about every animal that comes through their doors. I highly recommend coming to this animal clinic. I only wish I could give more than 5 stars. Read Less

First time I used them for boarding. I have a German Shepherd Service dog that I am very funny about leaving him at places I don't know. Found Doddridge on the internet and the reviews put my mind at ease. The staff is awesome and My baby was well cared for. I will definitely use them again when needed and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to anyone looking for Veterinary Services or boarding in the future. Thanks to all who took care of my boy. Read Less

LOVE this place! It is the only place I have ever taken my baby & it is the only place I ever will take him. They are the only place I know that doesn't require your cat be in a carrier which is great for me because mine just throws the biggest fit & is traumatized from them. Prices are amazing! They have the best referral plan I've ever heard of. I have referred everyone I know to them! My fur baby hadn't been to the vet in a while but he was due for annual shot & this time he was in a mood & was not having it! He swiped at the vet (sorry about that) but they were very patient with him. The only thing is that the vets usually don't introduce themselves so I don't know their names. But they're all wonderful so I would recommend any one of them. Read Less

I have taken my dog to a few different vet's offices in town and I have found Dr. Rasco and his staff to be the best. Fortunately I also always leave feeling like my bill was very reasonable as well, compared to other offices. Other offices try to sell you a bunch of excessive (and seemingly irrelevant) tests to give your pet, but dr. Rasco never does that. They have helped our little pug for multiple issues she deals with, and I know she would not have made it without their help. Thank y'all for all your great work! Read Less

I used to take my dog to this Clinic.. When grooming my dog will pee all over and get so nervous and cry like a baby, now i take him to Petco and none of this happens, i believe they treated him very bad. Now i go to Oso Creek and i love the servicesRead Less

Loved this clinic. They are small but clean, professional and caring. It was so easy to make an appointment, my pets were seen quickly and the Vet very empathetic. Unlike many other clinics, the VET handled my pets, not just a Vet tech. Staff friendly, prices very reasonable and they even have a PAWS plan to help me pay for their wellness care monthly.

I have been going to Dodderidge for almost a year now and had been very happy with my experience with them. The vet has been very nice and has tried to take care of my pets as best as she can. I thought this was a great business. Yesterday, I realized how wrong I was. I witnessed a small, fluffy white dog get hit by a car on Staples yesterday. The dogs face had been smashed and Im pretty certain his back was broken as he could not move. He was covered in blood, gasping for air, and screaming in pain. It was painfully evident that he had no chance of surviving his injuries and was doomed to endure a slow, painful death unless someone helped him. I rushed him to Dodderidge as it was the nearest vet and told the receptionist I had a dog in my car that needed to be euthanized because his neck had been broken and was suffering. I told her I had no problem paying the cost of the procedure, but it needed to be done immediately as every second that passed was one more unnecessary second the dog had to suffer. She disappeared to the back to tell the vet what was going on. (I do not know which vet it was.) Several long minutes later she returned to say the vet would not euthanize this poor dog because I wasnt the owner and the vet didnt want to get in trouble for putting the dog down. If it had been my child on the road suffering, writhing and screaming in pain, I would want him put out of his misery immediately. We all would. I didnt have time to argue. I rushed the dog to Oso Emergency who immediately took the dog from me and saw to his needs. I understand there are laws about when a vet can or cannot treat an animal. However, not only did the vet refuse to help ease the dogs suffering, they wouldnt even come out to asses him or offer any kind of guidance. It took me thirty minutes to get the pitiful little boy to Oso. Those were thirty excruciating minutes of torture for that dog. (And for me as well as I had to listen to him screaming in my back seat the entire drive.) Any vet that would allow a dog to suffer in anguish for any amount of time because they were more worried about getting sued than they were about the dog is a vet that I dont ever want touching any of my animals.

Te'a has been a patient at DAC since she was a puppy. She turned 9 years old in Dec 2014. She has always been seen by Dr. Rasco primarily. However, she has seen the others doctors from time to time as well. I took her in for a teeth cleaning (her first) and testing showed her liver function needed some attention (supplements for 30 days). I wouldn't have known there was a problem because Te'a is always a happy little girl. So glad I went that extra step!! Thank you Doddridge AC for taking such good care of my baby girl! Read Less

My sister found Dr Rascoe over thirty years ago and has taken every one of her dogs to Dr Rascoe for care. He is so awesome and compassionate! Dr Rascoe is the best veterinarian I have come across in his compassion and knowledge of disease and treatment. The vet assistants and office team are great beyond measure. Thank you for all you do!

I've been taking my dogs to Doddridge for years now, and have been very happy with their care. My special favorite vet is Dr. Harper! She's always so patient and caring, and spends as much time with me as necessary to answer any questions I have about my pets' needs. Would highly recommend Doddridge A.C. and Dr. Harper. Read Less
