Nottingham Animal Clinic

Dr. Fix and the staff at Nottingham Animal Clinic are amazing! I truly believe that they care as much about your fur babies as you do. I had a pretty stressful situation with one of my animals, and Dr. Fix provided the care and recommendations for future treatment, and I could not be more thankful. I have even moved about 30 minutes away from the area, and continue to bring all of my animals here. Couldn't ask for a better vet! Read Less

I had a pretty stressful situation with one of my dogs, and Dr. Fix provided the care and recommendations for future treatment, and I could not be more thankful. He is so patient, and answers all of my questions without making me feel rushed or over-concerned. All of my dogs are rescues, and he has a particular soft spot for all rescue animals. I have even moved about 30 minutes away from the area, and continue to bring all of my animals here. Couldn't ask for a better vet! Read Less

We have been taking our dogs to see Dr. Skip since August, 2001 at this location.  We feel "right at home" here. The staff is very friendly and very professional.  Dr. Skip Fix is one hell of a great Vet, especially when it comes to "rescue animals". He is easy to communicate with by taking time to ask you specific questions. An excellent vet with many years of knowledge, experience and very professional. Read Less

Doctor "Fix" and everyone else there are awesome. They care as much about our babies as we do. They are expert, proffessional, caring, and honest. This has been our vet for about 10 years and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Read Less

I went in to get a refill for my dogs heart worm pills and the receptionists informed me I hadn't been to them in 2 years so they wouldn't provide me with the medicine. When I stated that we'd been there recently for rabies vaccines they replied with a snarky and unprofessional comment. This is not the type of customer service one would hope for, but unfortunately I've come to expect here. Not going back! Read Less

Anyone that suggests that Nottingham Vet Clinic and it's Doctors are anything other than the best simply are ignorant. We have had over 100 of our retired Military Working Dogs treated there for various things over the past year and NEVER have we been anything other than totally satisfied. Dr. Fix and his team are the BEST! I would not take my pets anywhere else for standard vet care. Read Less

I have been bringing my animals here for several years and have always had a pleasant experience. They even discounted the cost of my cats treatment due to me rescuing her. I switched to this vet after having the same vet for 20 years and have been so pleased I made that decision. Read Less

The vets here are extremely bad at their jobs. Each time I took my cat or my dog, they made things worse. Their veterinary skills are incredibly poor. The worse case was when I brought my dog in with a small wound. The vet took my dog in the back, shaved the wound, and tore off flesh. The wound was five times as big when the vet finished. I ended up having to put my dog to sleep because the wound never healed. She'd have lived if the vet had done nothing. The staff is very friendly and good people, but the vets have no skills at all. Beware. Read Less

I've never left a review for a vet before until now. I called asking if I could bring my dog in for an anal gland expression- this is something that can be done within minutes. Lady who answered the phone couldn't have been more rude. Immediately turned me down for this service and kept saying we don't have time for that? Are you serious? It takes less than 5 mins. I just moved here from Austin so I'm also looking for a new vet place I can trust and go to..not sure how people run their vet businesses here but this was just an awful phone experience and to imagine if I actually brought my pet there, no thanks! I'll take money elsewhere that will actually want my business. Read Less

Let me start by saying Dr. Fixx is a great vet.Took great care of the dog I adopted from BARC. She was an older dog that came to is sick. Dr. Fixx helped nurse her back to health. The problem is getting to see the doctors. The receptionist has a bad attitude and very rude to the customers.Because of Dr. Fixx, I tolerated her attitude for 5 years. Finally got tired of the poor customer service up front. Had to go find a new vet. Read Less

On their website it says they offer interstate and international health certificates. When I called, the girl who answered said they do not offer it because it's to much paper work and to much of a process for them. I am disappointed and they need to update their website to say they are no longer offering that service. Read Less

I have experienced several vets, and I have NEVER experienced the kind of knowledge and care that Nottingham provides. My dog has a chronic condition, diagnosed by every vet we've been to, but Nottingham was the first to work towards a better option than standard protocol to better suit my dogs needs. They have consistently gone ABOVE and BEYOND. I don't want to take my pet to anyone else. Read Less

We've been bringing out kitties here for a little over two years now & we greatly appreciate the care they've received. The entire staff is deeply committed to your animal's health & wellbeing & it shows in every word & action! Thanks :) Read Less

The people who work at Nottingham Animal Clinic are very compassionate and nice people, however their veterinary skill is poor. More than half the time, they make things worse for your pet. For example, I brought my dog in with a dime-sized wound in her leg. The vet and vet techs shaved the wound, ripping skin off and ripping the wound open until it was the size of two quarters. The don't have enough skill to realize that shaving a large wound is a very bad idea. If they'd told me what they were going to do, I'd have said no, but instead they took my dog in the back and I didn't find out until they came back. Another time, they stitched a wound with dissolvable stitches that didn't need to be removed. I brought my dog back for a follow up visit and the vet didn't read the record and didn't remember that the stitches would dissolve and did not need to be removed. But they took my dog to the back, away from me, and the vet removed the stitches without pain medicine. My poor dog suffered needlessly. Again, they're very compassionate and nice people. I hope they get some training and develop their skills.Read Less

My cat Tigger PURRED in the vet's office. I guess it was his way of saying, " I like Dr. Fix!" They prescribed him some pills, did the right diagnosis because he is fine now. They called to check up on him a few days later. Even sent me a health mag. Wow. What service. I am super happy to have found such a good vet. He was referred to me from a member of my church after I went to a vet off of hwy 6 and having a pretty bad experience. I didn't want another bad experience so I asked around. Boy am I glad I did! I won't be taking my cat anywhere else.Read Less

I have been with Dr.Fix and his staff forever. He is a very caring vet, and spoils my old dog Lucy with cookies :-) He helped my sweet cat Maxi to move to the other side of the rainbow with sensitivity and love. Read Less

On April 3, 2015, I met my appointed time of 1700 at Nottingham Animal Clinic on Memorial Drive for the euthanasia of my terminally ill dog Digo. She had been diagnosed earlier in the week by Dr. Howland as having an oral metastatic melanoma that had already progressed into the lymph glands. It was progressing rapidly, as her closest lymph node has enlarged from pea size to grape size in just five days.  We were in agreement that euthanasia was the only recourse. Prior to this, not only had I witnessed the peaceful euthanization of my ex wife's dog in January 2015, I make it a policy to read up on any procedures that may cross my path from time to time. And while I saw anecdotal references to procedures that had gone wrong, absolutely nothing I read prepared me for what was about to occur.I signed the liability agreement and she went briefly over the procedure, which I had already familiarized myself with online.  As the vet prepared the injections, the assistant prepared the catheter in her right front paw. The vet entered and apologized for the delay, as they had to quickly perform an emergency euthanasia prior to my dog's procedure.Digo was placed on a blanket and the first of two injections followed, ostensibly to get the dog to relax. As the second injection was administered, the syringe gave way under pressure, causing about ¼ of the contents to be injected, the rest of the contents spraying over myself, the assistant & the vet. She immediately left the room for about 3 minutes by my watch, during which time Digo reacted to her injection of the first drug, and possibly the amount of the second drug. She struggled to get up & move. Both the assistant & I held Digo on the blanket. The vet re-entered the room with a second syringe and quickly inserted it into the catheter. She administered the second syringe very quickly, about one half second. At that moment, Digo lifted her body off of the floor, started shaking severely, then arched her back & threw her head up and let out a horrific howl, the likes I have personally heard only on occasions when an animal has been struck by a car or other traumatic incidents. During this extremely emotion outburst, the vet repeatedly told me that the dog was not in pain, merely experiencing what she referred to as a "respiratory release". I am unable to locate the term "respiratory release" in any medical lexicon I have since read. About pain. As a retired State Trooper Supervisor with 20 years on the highway, I have experienced and witnessed a bit of pain. What I saw coming from my dog is referred to as a "Death Rattle", no two ways about it.My dog Digo however, has never whimpered, whined or cried out in pain the entire 15+ years she was alive.  Even having a terminal case of cancer was not able to get her to cry out with normal handling and treatment.  She only barked at strangers, which diminished greatly with the onset of blindness & deafness.I cannot possibly comment on the vet's training and knowledge of the procedure of euthanasia, however after the syringe sprayed the room with the sodium penthiolate and perhaps to feeling rushed, she forced the plunger to empty the syringe in one half second or less, which may have introduced the very viscous liquid in the dog much faster that normal. I removed the failed syringe from the office just to see how viscous the liquid was. It was quite thicker than water & very sticky.For person half my age trying to tell me that what I was witnessing is not what it very obviously is belies the facts and quite frankly is delusional.  She can try to tell herself what she thinks it is, but I have seen enough in 20 years of law enforcement, and 60 years of life in general to know that my dog died in extreme, life sucking pain and absolutely nothing can or will change my mind or that fact. She also told me that her dog experienced a similar demise, which means to me that she might not have the procedure perfected. Several papers I read suggested that the attending veterinarian should always carry a second dose or vial of the drug on them for just this kind of emergency. This vet did not, but I'll bet she will in the future. She may be an excellent Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, but on April 3, 2015 she was responsible for a very horrible death of a wonderful companion and very sweet little dog named Digo Dunn. It utterly leaves a bitter memory of a loyal and loving dog that represented one fourth of my entire life, that wanted only to be with her Master, and all I wanted was for Digo to pass without pain. It is not a memory that I cherish to take to my grave. Read Less

We found Nottingham AC after adopting two cats from CAP (Citizens for Animal Protection), and we are so glad we did. Dr Rowlands is amazing with them, and always takes time to fully explain things. 1 month after getting our send kitten, he got very sick and the care provided was amazing. Dr Rowlands and Dr Fix came in our their days off to see us. We left him at the clinic for closer vet observation and were never charged for it. They truly do car about the animals and their owners, and in the end that's what matters the most. We have unfortunately just moved out of the area and both our Cats do not like car rides, so we are now looking for a new Vet in our area, however I wanted to post a review because for time we were at Nottingham, they were great.

Great veterinarian and staff. You can tell they really love animals. They take wonderful care of my two Tonkinese cats. I highly recommend their team to anyone who loves their fur babies as much as I do! Read Less

Best Vet care in Houston. This crew, not just the vets, truly LOVE all the animals they see. The care is the very best. When we adopted our Nugget in 2008, he came down with pneumonia with in days. We had him in an emergency facility that wanted us to put him down. Dr. Fix said NO! Give him Tamiflu. The vet in the clinic said that would not help.... I asked would it hurt? No, but it won't help. Told him to do what my vet had said. They did, received a phone call with in thirty minutes telling me my puppy was recovering so quickly, he'd be able to go home that night!!!!!! He and Dr. Roland have helped us transition when it was time to say good bye to our furbabies.... The vet techs??? We trust them with our pets whenever we need advice, or home care! We cannot say enough good things about this Veterinarian team! They don't sugar coat, they don't make false promises, and they don't give up!Read Less

The just don't "take" your pet, they "take care" of them. I had to regrettably had to have my cat declawed. They explained everything they were going to do for my cat, before, during, and after surgury. Every person I spoke with on the phone, or in person, you could feel that they cared about your pet. If you care about your pet, this is the place to take them. Read Less

We had our Cairn Terrier spayed at Nottingham Animal Clinic. When she developed abdominal cramping due to gas after the surgery (not unusual, but alarming nonetheless), Dr. Fix drove in and met us when the office was closed to examine her. Fortunately, nature took care of the problem and she was out chasing squirrels the next day. We were impressed not only by the level of care our pet received, but with the sensitivity and kindness shown toward our family by the entire staff. Read Less
