We recently had to put our pet Husky of 13 years down. After being diagnosed with a inoperable tumor on her liver several months ago, her time was up and we did not want her to suffer. We brought her to the hospital at 1am and they were absolutely wonderful. The entire staff and Dr. were very empathetic, highly responsive and sensitive to losing a dear member of our family. They could not have handled a difficult situation any better. I would rate them 10 stars if I could. Read Less

We made the mistake of taking our dog to the Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas, and I'm not sure I've ever encountered a more predatory establishment. After making it clear we could not surpass our insurance budget of $3000, I received a phone call at around four in the morning telling me that my balance was over $3500 and I would need to pay all outstanding charges before picking up my dog. If you can't pay, the charges just keep going up. Outside of the fact that they used our emergency as a convenient method of holding our dog hostage, our insurance was charged twice for the 3000 and despite my numerous call and messages over the previous months, I have yet to hear from the office manager. I have, however, received an abundance of calls about the money I never should have been charged for to begin with. If you are taking the time to read this, do yourself a favor and take your fur baby somewhere else where the staff believes the animals are more important than the dollars that come with them. P.S. They love to suggest euthanasia. If they feel like you can't pay, or aren't willing to drop the kind of money they're asking, the first thing they'll start telling you is how they can get you a deal on euthanasia. Disgusting.

Terrible place!!! We just took our rabbit there a couple hours ago. Our pet ferret got a hold of the rabbit's foot and was pulling on it through the cage. There was no blood, but the rabbit was laying so still that we thought she may have a heart attack. We raced her to this hospital because it was the only place open that would see rabbits. BAD IDEA! They took her to the back, away from us. When Dr. Meghan Mahanay entered the room, she told us our rabbit was severely sick and would need to be hospitalized. It would be $1000. I told her we didn't have that kind of money and my main concern was a heart attack. It was at that point that she suggested we could "stop this now" by putting her down!!! My 11 year old (the owner of the rabbit) and 16 year old were sitting right there. This made them extremely upset as you can imagine. So I told her we wanted to take the rabbit home and nurture her there where she felt safe. It's been about two hours now. Our rabbit is hopping all over her cage. Eating and drinking JUST FINE!!!!!! We could have euthanized a perfectly healthy animal if we had listened to this lady. This place should not be allowed to take in ANY ANIMALS!!! Please beware!!!! Scares me to think how many people actually believe them and let them kill their animals. Read Less

First of all, this place is expensive, but it's an emergency hospital so that's expected. I would not make this place out to be a regular vet or expect vet prices. IT IS AN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL, IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE. Despite the cost, I still feel that the care we got and the care they took of our pet was worth the price. Our male cat had a history of being blocked and I spoke with a vet tech over the phone. She listened to my concerns and made me feel confident in my decision to bring him in. I did and he was completely blocked. The Doctor explained everything very well, and we are confident that they took care of our cat better than anyone else could. The procedures they recommended were the exact same as our regular vet had described. He's had the surgery and now Tom Tom is in recovery mode. Read Less

I had to take my chameleon Cici in because she was having trouble breathing. The staff took her straight back to the back and started vitals. Soon after the vet came to talk to us and told us everything was fine, she might have some congestion but she looked super healthy.

I cannot say enough about the doctors and support staff here. Our multi-day adventure started late on a Saturday night, and the team was kind, attentive and extremely helpful. Over the course of 48 hours, I received calls from three different vets, all of whom were clearly focused on what was best for my dog and ensuring I understood everything. When it came to expenses, I always felt informed and never pressured. While my story doesn't end well, as our precious dog did not survive, I could not have asked for anything more from this team.

Be prepared to wait at least an hour. I've made at least 5 - 7 visits within the last two months for my guinea pigs. Depending on the doctor on staff, the service, knowledge, and handling of exotic pets will vary. I've had terrible and great experiences here. The front staff team and behind-the-scene technicians are wonderful and extremely accommodating but I can't say the same for half of the doctors. Some of them seem pretty clueless and rough about guinea pigs. Without knowing better, I've spent over $1k in here.

I called around 10:00-11:00 PM because my guinea pig had been breathing weird, and I was worried he had something stuck in his throat, or maybe he was getting a cold. The woman on the phone was very nice, and helpful. As soon as I got there, I checked in and a woman took my piggie to the back; so no waiting for him to be seen. Everyone was extremely kind, to both me and my guinea pig. I think we left around 12:30 am, so we were there for over an hour. The vets came in and updated us when necessary. A man came in and told us that my piggie was getting nebulized and during that, his nose started bleeding; which I was not happy to hear, but it hasn't bled since then. They sent us home with some antibiotics and pain meds, and again, were all very nice and sweet. The two woman at the desks were also kind. I think they might have clipped his nails, which I was going to ask them to do, but forgot. So if they did, thank you! I always get nervous clipping his nails.Overall, the experience was great, minus the nose bleed; but he seems to be doing better now. I can still hear his troubled breathing, so that hasn't gone away; but it's only been about 16 hours. This place was about an hour drive away from us, but it was worth it! Read Less

We took our guinea pig, Elmer, here last night and every staff member was so caring and concerned about how he was doing right when we walked in the door. He had to have a minor surgery for an abscess near his mouth. We were unsure at first because we didn't want to put him in any large amount of pain because of how little he is. Dr. Turner reassured us that he was an excellent candidate for the procedure. He stayed overnight and they called us as soon as his surgery was over.

Eternally grateful to the staff here for taking care of our fur baby when he had a severe allergic reaction late in the evening and couldn't breathe. We were met with compassion and caring by the techs and the vet and they took such good care stabilizing our dog and getting him better. Our dog stayed with them overnight and by morning he was breathing normally and sent home with a few prescriptions to keep the swelling down. Yes this place is expensive because you have to pay up front but it's worth it to save your pet in an emergency, and honestly everything was itemized on their estimate and they were very transparent with everything they were charging for. We were given a low and high estimate and had to pay the low one before we left for the evening, when we came in to pick up our pooch they actually refunded a portion of it that they didn't use. I do wish they had a payment plan system in place but all in all we are very happy with the services provided and, again, it was well worth the cost to save our dog's life. This place will do everything they can to save your animal but they do ask your permission before doing anything that adds cost to the visit. They're also open 24/7 365 so it's comforting knowing that they're always there in case something bad happens to your pet. I pray I never have to visit them again but I'm so happy they're there if we need it! We've owned a lot of dogs and have been to emergency vet clinics before in the past and I can say with confidence that they are the best out there! Read Less

Took my cat here because I suspected he had a urinary infection. I mentioned to the tech  that he sometimes vomits because he struggles with hair balls (really long hair) The vet examined him in the back for not even 5 minutes then immediately started rattling off a range of tests from blood work to X-rays. I asked why they couldn't start with the most reasonable test (check his urine) and they said they were unable to perform a test on his urine because of his bladder size so instead, they had to do X-rays and full blood work to the tune of about $550-$600, plus the $120 "exam" if you want to call it that. They said hey wanted to check for everything - diabetes etc. My experience had always been that one test leads to more and still, no answer on the urine?No thanks. When I explained that he was old and even if there was possible cancer we weren't going to put him through all that because he is very old. Been there done that with vets.The doctor glared at me and said fine maybe you'll get lucky so we'll give you antibiotics and something for his stomach. Imagine my surprise when the total bill was $270 for a five minute exam, major "judging" from  the robber baron doctor and antibiotics and a nausea shot. She had no clue about cats and based in other reviews, it seems that their forte might be dogs.These folks are seriously concerned about running up the bill and you can see why when you look at the swanky office. Run for your life and your pet's life.The front desk folks were very nice and the vet tech was ok. Read Less

They were friendly and professional at all times and during a stressful time, we felt our pup received the best care possible.A huge thank you to everyone and we will definitely make this EC our go to hospital if another emergency happens.  Sandi Community Field Rep.Guide Dogs for the Blind Read Less

My 3 year old American Bull dog was suffering from a heat stroke hanging on, fighting for his life. They kept him for 3 days and during his time there the doctor and the technicians kept in constant contact with me updating me on his condition.  Several plasma transfusions(because of his size) and dunno how many IV's of fluid and around the clock care, they nursed him back to health. He's been home for two days now and he's back to himself again. I'm extremely grateful that they saved my boys life. Read Less

We brought our cat here because she stopped eating for several days. They took an X-ray and she had an intestinal blockage. The vet was pushing for $2,000 exploratory surgery right away. I said I would rather try to get her to pass the blockage than put her under anesthesia and cut her open. They gave her an enema, barium dye, an IV, and a couple sets of X-rays. The bill was over $1300 and she was there less than 24 hours. The thing is, they released her and told me her bowels were moving and that she was in the clear, yet she had not passed anything. Two days later she still has not had a BM and I am going to have to take her somewhere else. I can't believe they released her without passing something. Now my poor cat hasn't pooped in over a week and is still not eating. This place provides sub par care and will rob you blind. Read Less

If you care about your family pet at all, do not take your pet to this Clinic. This Clinic like to run a skeleton crew to save money during emergency hours. Our cat set in a cage with a feeding tube in her and for 2 days she was not fed properly. The staff simply had a clipboard where notes for supposed to be made when she was fed. We actually went up there ourselves during an evening and ask one of the overworked staff members to stop what they were doing just to feed our cat who was just laying there slowly dying. The clipboard was empty and the only excuse the staff member had was maybe they put a fresh one on there. When we complained about it to the manager she said maybe you should take your cat somewhere else and was completely rude. In the end she had to be put to sleep because her liver developed an issue because of lack of food. What was a simple Rehabilitation process, turned into a death sentence that was 100% the result of an understaffed emergency animal clinic. And the most maniacal part of the story is, this Clinic makes you sign off at the very beginning on the procedures they plan to do. If and when your animal dies and you try to hold them accountable they use that paperwork you filled out before anything was done, and use it to say you agreed that all these procedures were done and there is your signature. It's a scam they use so they don't get sued or you can't chargeback on a credit card if they don't have time to do the surgery. Do not trust this clinic at all. They are horribly ran. If you notice the only good comments are people that had very simple procedures done. If you are in a real.emergency, this Clinic will let you animal die in it'so cage. Read Less

I am very disappointed in what a difference a year can make.  Last February we rushed our little shiapoo in at 2:00am.  She had had a heart attack.  The staff and doctor were very attentive and caring.  They kept us posted and when they came back in and told us that she didn't make it they were all very kind, empathetic and told us to stay and take as long as we needed to.  At that time I would have definitely given them a 5 and did and have recommended them to several people.  But boy fast forward to two weeks ago when we took in our newly rescued senior dachshund Maggie. She is 14 years old and had been whimpering and whining when she walked. She wouldn't put any pressure on her front paw, she was running into walls and she wouldn't let you touch her.  Quite honestly we thought she was having a stroke.  I personally didn't want to go back to the hospital because it had only been a year since our little girl died and it was still painful but unfortunately nothing else was open.  The staff in the front was very nice and we got into a room right away. (Ironically the exact same room our little girl was in)  But it went downhill from there.  We waited 30 mins for the doctor to even come in and he certainly did not have a caring bedside manner.  He couldn't get a good look at Maggie so he took her to the back and when he came back he informed us that he wanted to do ex-rays. He did say at that time that neck issues were hard to assess but said let's see what the x-rays tell us.  We agreed and he took her to the back again and we waited an hour before anyone came back in the room, gave us an update or even said a word to us.  The prognosis was that she had arthritis and degenerative bone loss.  They gave us some Tramadol and an anti-inflammatory)  Charged us $483.00 and sent us on our way.  The next day Maggie was worse but had also started having some stomach issues along with everything else so I took her to our regular Vet and was told immediately that Maggie had done something to her neck and she was in a great deal of pain and that she needed steroids, a different anti -inflammatory (because that one was upsetting her stomach)  and pain meds because  tramadol doesn't work on dogs. Imagine my surprise.  So I obviously threw away all of the medicine that was given to me by the Animal Emergency Hospital and started Maggie on her new medicine.  The kicker to the whole story is when I called the Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas and left a message for the Office Manager and asked for a return call, she called me back the very next day with all of her evidence collected.  She had already spoken to our regular vet and was adamant that they were right about their diagnosis of Maggie and that they had done nothing wrong.  The office manager, Cindy I believe, before she had even actually talked to me personally, had already pre-determined that I was wrong and that she was not going to hear any of it.  Sorry about your luck.  Same place with two very different experiences.

If you have a more difficult case-something beyond vaccines or broken bone-DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE!  The level of incompetence is profound!  My 12 yr old yorkie was brought in during the day to the regular internal medicine clinic in the same building.  She just needed tests performed to check for an enlarged heart and to determine why she was fainting once/month. I got a call saying she would need to stay overnight and would be transferred to the care of this ER clinic for observation and fluids.  I received a call  that the fluids exacerbated my baby's heart problems and she was on oxygen.   They were monitoring her as she was unable to leave the hospital.   I was, of course, upset but optimistic that she was in the care of "experienced" and "highly skilled" individuals.  I gratefully received calls with updates on her prognosis and was informed the following day that she was off oxygen and walking around outside to use the bathroom.  She was supposedly eating some canned food.  I was told I could come in the evening to the ER and decide if I could take her home.  I arrived that evening and was in tears from the condition of my yorkie! She was unable to stand on her own and wasn't lucid.  She was, however, showing signs that she was somewhat happy to see me.  I asked the ER vet tech if this was normal, and she assured me that the hospital stay has that effect on most pets due to the new environment and their inability to rest.  She told me it would be ok to take her home but instructed me to call if I had any concerns at home.  We left. On the way home, I stopped and tried to put her in the grass to pee but she just sat down.  I picked her back up in my hands and she had diarrhea all over her bottom.  I got home and cleaned her and tried to feed her. She refused food and water.  This is completely abnormal for her.   I cleaned up diarrhea most of the night.I called the ER clinic at 7 am that next morning. They said I could bring her in for a checkup.  Since it was the weekend, only the ER was open.  This vet on duty was extremely sweet and empathetic-this is the only nice thing I can say.  She did a few physical tests to check the motor skills of my dog to determine why she was unable to stand up.  She attributed it to fatigue of the hospital stay and went further to check her blood pressure.  She did not feel there was any need to do a blood test even though she had labored breathing, was not standing, eating or drinking.  I asked why I was never informed my dog had diarrhea before she was discharged to my care, in which I was told that they must have forgotten to mention it.  The vet told me to go home and wait for the meds they gave me previously to work on her heart issue.  They gave me a syringe to force feed my dog and make her drink.  I left. All day I watched my baby struggle to breath normally and spit out water i tried to give her through a syringe.  It was literally like a bad dream or what I would envision torture in hell to feel like.  I had never felt so helpless in my life.  That evening, I couldn't see my baby suffer anymore, and I no longer trusted the care of this ER clinic.  I rushed my dog to the ER near my home, and they immediately performed blood tests.   They couldn't believe I was allowed take my dog out of the hospital.  Her kidneys were in complete failure and her glucose levels were dangerous! Also, they said she was basically "toxic."   I had to put my baby to sleep that night.    I am devastated till this day that I allowed my baby to be treated here.   She was not the healthiest dog but I took her in for tests-walking, playing, eating.  I picked her up unable to walk, taking short breaths, unable to control her bowels, unable to eat or drink. This is not normal!  I do not want anyone else to suffer like this, and I hope this at least saves one pet. Read Less

As other reviewers have mentioned: the map is way off. We had to u-turn a couple of times to find it. The night before Thanksgiving, my little buddy (Crazy the cat), was acting really weird. Almost like she had a UTI. We called the emergency vet at Frankford and 35 and asked what the wait time was looking like... And it was bad. So, we called here too, despite the fact that we live two minutes from the other place.The girl on the phone was incredibly nice and said they weren't busy at all, but that's no guarantee because it's first-come first-served, with severe emergencies being seen first, of course. So we load up my neurotic cat and head over. After we finally got there, I really liked the feel of the place. It's a stand-alone building and the waiting room is comforting and homey. The other emergency vet has a very clinical waiting room. Even the exam rooms are homey. Every person we encountered was incredibly nice and comforting. They ran everything by us regarding my little Crazy and sent us home. Crazy still had some issues and we went to the regular vet less than a week later because the problem had come back. But she had a week of relief and I had some serious peace of mind (I'm neurotic about my neurotic cat).I would absolutely 100% come back here, even with the vastly increased mileage difference.

We made the mistake of taking our dog to the Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas, and I'm not sure I've ever encountered a more predatory establishment. After making it clear we could not surpass our insurance budget of $3000, I received a phone call at around four in the morning telling me that my balance was over $3500 and I would need to pay all outstanding charges before picking up my dog. If you can't pay, the charges just keep going up. Outside of the fact that they used our emergency as a convenient method of holding our dog hostage, our insurance was charged twice for the 3000 and despite my numerous call and messages over the previous months, I have yet to hear from the office manager. I have, however, received an abundance of calls about the money I never should have been charged for to begin with. If you are taking the time to read this, do yourself a favor and take your fur baby somewhere else where the staff believes the animals are more important than the dollars that come with them. P.S. They love to suggest euthanasia. If they feel like you can't pay, or aren't willing to drop the kind of money they're asking, the first thing they'll start telling you is how they can get you a deal on euthanasia. Disgusting.

Terrible place!!! We just took our rabbit there a couple hours ago. Our pet ferret got a hold of the rabbit's foot and was pulling on it through the cage. There was no blood, but the rabbit was laying so still that we thought she may have a heart attack. We raced her to this hospital because it was the only place open that would see rabbits. BAD IDEA! They took her to the back, away from us. When Dr. Meghan Mahanay entered the room, she told us our rabbit was severely sick and would need to be hospitalized. It would be $1000. I told her we didn't have that kind of money and my main concern was a heart attack. It was at that point that she suggested we could "stop this now" by putting her down!!! My 11 year old (the owner of the rabbit) and 16 year old were sitting right there. This made them extremely upset as you can imagine. So I told her we wanted to take the rabbit home and nurture her there where she felt safe. It's been about two hours now. Our rabbit is hopping all over her cage. Eating and drinking JUST FINE!!!!!! We could have euthanized a perfectly healthy animal if we had listened to this lady. This place should not be allowed to take in ANY ANIMALS!!! Please beware!!!!

I've had to take a baby bird with a broken beak and a very hurt wild bunny. They were great in being concerned and helping take them in. I just took my Bearded Dragon there because she wasn't moving. They were amazing in helping me learn about them and of course everything was fine with her. I had a freak out Mommy moment. And they put me in contact with a daily vet so it wouldn't cost me so much for those types of moments. Read Less

Be prepared to wait at least an hour. I've made at least 5 - 7 visits within the last two months for my guinea pigs. Depending on the doctor on staff, the service, knowledge, and handling of exotic pets will vary. I've had terrible and great experiences here. The front staff team and behind-the-scene technicians are wonderful and extremely accommodating but I can't say the same for half of the doctors. Some of them seem pretty clueless and rough about guinea pigs. Without knowing better, I've spent over $1k in here. Unless it's a dire situation, wait until morning and go to your local specialized exotic clinic. Read Less

These amazing people have been here in the middle of the night for 3 different animals I've had. They were incredibly compassionate two years ago when I brought in my 15 year old dog that was dying. They were incredibly gentle with my puppy I brought in a year ago that got into a medicine bottle. Tonight they helped my 16+ year old cat that is experiencing feline vestibular disease. I have never met a more passionate, kind, gentle group of human beings than the staff here. Thank you for the work you do.

I called around 10:00-11:00 PM because my guinea pig had been breathing weird, and I was worried he had something stuck in his throat, or maybe he was getting a cold. The woman on the phone was very nice, and helpful. As soon as I got there, I checked in and a woman took my piggie to the back; so no waiting for him to be seen. Everyone was extremely kind, to both me and my guinea pig. I think we left around 12:30 am, so we were there for over an hour. The vets came in and updated us when necessary. A man came in and told us that my piggie was getting nebulized and during that, his nose started bleeding; which I was not happy to hear, but it hasn't bled since then. They sent us home with some antibiotics and pain meds, and again, were all very nice and sweet. The two woman at the desks were also kind. I think they might have clipped his nails, which I was going to ask them to do, but forgot. So if they did, thank you! I always get nervous clipping his nails.Overall, the experience was great, minus the nose bleed; but he seems to be doing better now. I can still hear his troubled breathing, so that hasn't gone away; but it's only been about 16 hours. This place was about an hour drive away from us, but it was worth it! Read Less

We took our guinea pig, Elmer, here last night and every staff member was so caring and concerned about how he was doing right when we walked in the door. He had to have a minor surgery for an abscess near his mouth. We were unsure at first because we didn't want to put him in any large amount of pain because of how little he is. Dr. Turner reassured us that he was an excellent candidate for the procedure. He stayed overnight and they called us as soon as his surgery was over. We had such peace of mind because of the caring and helpful staff. Elmer has been eating like a champ and is, of course, getting spoiled :) Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

Eternally grateful to the staff here for taking care of our fur baby when he had a severe allergic reaction late in the evening and couldn't breathe. We were met with compassion and caring by the techs and the vet and they took such good care stabilizing our dog and getting him better. Our dog stayed with them overnight and by morning he was breathing normally and sent home with a few prescriptions to keep the swelling down. Yes this place is expensive because you have to pay up front but it's worth it to save your pet in an emergency, and honestly everything was itemized on their estimate and they were very transparent with everything they were charging for. We were given a low and high estimate and had to pay the low one before we left for the evening, when we came in to pick up our pooch they actually refunded a portion of it that they didn't use. I do wish they had a payment plan system in place but all in all we are very happy with the services provided and, again, it was well worth the cost to save our dog's life. This place will do everything they can to save your animal but they do ask your permission before doing anything that adds cost to the visit. They're also open 24/7 365 so it's comforting knowing that they're always there in case something bad happens to your pet. I pray I never have to visit them again but I'm so happy they're there if we need it! We've owned a lot of dogs and have been to emergency vet clinics before in the past and I can say with confidence that they are the best out there! Read Less

Took my cat here because I suspected he had a urinary infection. I mentioned to the tech  that he sometimes vomits because he struggles with hair balls (really long hair) The vet examined him in the back for not even 5 minutes then immediately started rattling off a range of tests from blood work to X-rays. I asked why they couldn't start with the most reasonable test (check his urine) and they said they were unable to perform a test on his urine because of his bladder size so instead, they had to do X-rays and full blood work to the tune of about $550-$600, plus the $120 "exam" if you want to call it that. They said hey wanted to check for everything - diabetes etc. My experience had always been that one test leads to more and still, no answer on the urine?No thanks. When I explained that he was old and even if there was possible cancer we weren't going to put him through all that because he is very old. Been there done that with vets.The doctor glared at me and said fine maybe you'll get lucky so we'll give you antibiotics and something for his stomach. Imagine my surprise when the total bill was $270 for a five minute exam, major "judging" from  the robber baron doctor and antibiotics and a nausea shot. She had no clue about cats and based in other reviews, it seems that their forte might be dogs.These folks are seriously concerned about running up the bill and you can see why when you look at the swanky office.

We brought our cat here because she stopped eating for several days. They took an X-ray and she had an intestinal blockage. The vet was pushing for $2,000 exploratory surgery right away. I said I would rather try to get her to pass the blockage than put her under anesthesia and cut her open. They gave her an enema, barium dye, an IV, and a couple sets of X-rays. The bill was over $1300 and she was there less than 24 hours. The thing is, they released her and told me her bowels were moving and that she was in the clear, yet she had not passed anything. Two days later she still has not had a BM and I am going to have to take her somewhere else. I can't believe they released her without passing something.

If you care about your family pet at all, do not take your pet to this Clinic. This Clinic like to run a skeleton crew to save money during emergency hours. Our cat set in a cage with a feeding tube in her and for 2 days she was not fed properly. The staff simply had a clipboard where notes for supposed to be made when she was fed. We actually went up there ourselves during an evening and ask one of the overworked staff members to stop what they were doing just to feed our cat who was just laying there slowly dying. The clipboard was empty and the only excuse the staff member had was maybe they put a fresh one on there. When we complained about it to the manager she said maybe you should take your cat somewhere else and was completely rude. In the end she had to be put to sleep because her liver developed an issue because of lack of food. What was a simple Rehabilitation process, turned into a death sentence that was 100% the result of an understaffed emergency animal clinic. And the most maniacal part of the story is, this Clinic makes you sign off at the very beginning on the procedures they plan to do. If and when your animal dies and you try to hold them accountable they use that paperwork you filled out before anything was done, and use it to say you agreed that all these procedures were done and there is your signature. It's a scam they use so they don't get sued or you can't chargeback on a credit card if they don't have time to do the surgery. Do not trust this clinic at all. They are horribly ran. If you notice the only good comments are people that had very simple procedures done. If you are in a real.emergency, this Clinic will let you animal die in it'so cage. Read Less

I am very disappointed in what a difference a year can make.  Last February we rushed our little shiapoo in at 2:00am.  She had had a heart attack.  The staff and doctor were very attentive and caring.  They kept us posted and when they came back in and told us that she didn't make it they were all very kind, empathetic and told us to stay and take as long as we needed to.  At that time I would have definitely given them a 5 and did and have recommended them to several people.  But boy fast forward to two weeks ago when we took in our newly rescued senior dachshund Maggie. She is 14 years old and had been whimpering and whining when she walked. She wouldn't put any pressure on her front paw, she was running into walls and she wouldn't let you touch her.  Quite honestly we thought she was having a stroke.  I personally didn't want to go back to the hospital because it had only been a year since our little girl died and it was still painful but unfortunately nothing else was open.  The staff in the front was very nice and we got into a room right away. (Ironically the exact same room our little girl was in)  But it went downhill from there.  We waited 30 mins for the doctor to even come in and he certainly did not have a caring bedside manner.  He couldn't get a good look at Maggie so he took her to the back and when he came back he informed us that he wanted to do ex-rays. He did say at that time that neck issues were hard to assess but said let's see what the x-rays tell us.  We agreed and he took her to the back again and we waited an hour before anyone came back in the room, gave us an update or even said a word to us.  The prognosis was that she had arthritis and degenerative bone loss.  They gave us some Tramadol and an anti-inflammatory)  Charged us $483.00 and sent us on our way.  The next day Maggie was worse but had also started having some stomach issues along with everything else so I took her to our regular Vet and was told immediately that Maggie had done something to her neck and she was in a great deal of pain and that she needed steroids, a different anti -inflammatory (because that one was upsetting her stomach)  and pain meds because  tramadol doesn't work on dogs. Imagine my surprise.  So I obviously threw away all of the medicine that was given to me by the Animal Emergency Hospital and started Maggie on her new medicine.  The kicker to the whole story is when I called the Animal Emergency Hospital of North Texas and left a message for the Office Manager and asked for a return call, she called me back the very next day with all of her evidence collected.  She had already spoken to our regular vet and was adamant that they were right about their diagnosis of Maggie and that they had done nothing wrong.  The office manager, Cindy I believe, before she had even actually talked to me personally, had already pre-determined that I was wrong and that she was not going to hear any of it.  Sorry about your luck.  Same place with two very different experiences.

If you have a more difficult case-something beyond vaccines or broken bone-DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE!  The level of incompetence is profound!  My 12 yr old yorkie was brought in during the day to the regular internal medicine clinic in the same building.  She just needed tests performed to check for an enlarged heart and to determine why she was fainting once/month. I got a call saying she would need to stay overnight and would be transferred to the care of this ER clinic for observation and fluids.  I received a call  that the fluids exacerbated my baby's heart problems and she was on oxygen.   They were monitoring her as she was unable to leave the hospital.   I was, of course, upset but optimistic that she was in the care of "experienced" and "highly skilled" individuals.  I gratefully received calls with updates on her prognosis and was informed the following day that she was off oxygen and walking around outside to use the bathroom.  She was supposedly eating some canned food.  I was told I could come in the evening to the ER and decide if I could take her home.  I arrived that evening and was in tears from the condition of my yorkie! She was unable to stand on her own and wasn't lucid.  She was, however, showing signs that she was somewhat happy to see me.  I asked the ER vet tech if this was normal, and she assured me that the hospital stay has that effect on most pets due to the new environment and their inability to rest.  She told me it would be ok to take her home but instructed me to call if I had any concerns at home.  We left. On the way home, I stopped and tried to put her in the grass to pee but she just sat down.  I picked her back up in my hands and she had diarrhea all over her bottom.  I got home and cleaned her and tried to feed her. She refused food and water.  This is completely abnormal for her.   I cleaned up diarrhea most of the night.I called the ER clinic at 7 am that next morning. They said I could bring her in for a checkup.  Since it was the weekend, only the ER was open.  This vet on duty was extremely sweet and empathetic-this is the only nice thing I can say.  She did a few physical tests to check the motor skills of my dog to determine why she was unable to stand up.  She attributed it to fatigue of the hospital stay and went further to check her blood pressure.  She did not feel there was any need to do a blood test even though she had labored breathing, was not standing, eating or drinking.  I asked why I was never informed my dog had diarrhea before she was discharged to my care, in which I was told that they must have forgotten to mention it.  The vet told me to go home and wait for the meds they gave me previously to work on her heart issue.  They gave me a syringe to force feed my dog and make her drink.  I left. All day I watched my baby struggle to breath normally and spit out water i tried to give her through a syringe.  It was literally like a bad dream or what I would envision torture in hell to feel like.  I had never felt so helpless in my life.  That evening, I couldn't see my baby suffer anymore, and I no longer trusted the care of this ER clinic.  I rushed my dog to the ER near my home, and they immediately performed blood tests.   They couldn't believe I was allowed take my dog out of the hospital.  Her kidneys were in complete failure and her glucose levels were dangerous! Also, they said she was basically "toxic."   I had to put my baby to sleep that night.    I am devastated till this day that I allowed my baby to be treated here.   She was not the healthiest dog but I took her in for tests-walking, playing, eating.  I picked her up unable to walk, taking short breaths, unable to control her bowels, unable to eat or drink. This is not normal!  I do not want anyone else to suffer like this, and I hope this at least saves one pet. Read Less

As other reviewers have mentioned: the map is way off. We had to u-turn a couple of times to find it. The night before Thanksgiving, my little buddy (Crazy the cat), was acting really weird. Almost like she had a UTI. We called the emergency vet at Frankford and 35 and asked what the wait time was looking like... And it was bad. So, we called here too, despite the fact that we live two minutes from the other place.The girl on the phone was incredibly nice and said they weren't busy at all, but that's no guarantee because it's first-come first-served, with severe emergencies being seen first, of course. So we load up my neurotic cat and head over. After we finally got there, I really liked the feel of the place. It's a stand-alone building and the waiting room is comforting and homey. The other emergency vet has a very clinical waiting room. Even the exam rooms are homey. Every person we encountered was incredibly nice and comforting. They ran everything by us regarding my little Crazy and sent us home. Crazy still had some issues and we went to the regular vet less than a week later because the problem had come back. But she had a week of relief and I had some serious peace of mind (I'm neurotic about my neurotic cat).I would absolutely 100% come back here, even with the vastly increased mileage difference.
