Story Road Animal Hospital
Irving, Texas
General Info
Story Road Animal Hospital delivers services to Irving and nearby Texas regions by creating therapeutic care models that adjust slowly to match both pet temperaments and owner communication preferences. Initial visits focus on comfort: pets have the opportunity to settle while exploring the space and expressing their reactions at their own pace. Before initiating any hands-on examination the veterinary team monitors subtle indicators such as eye movement tail positioning gait changes and pressure response. Physical examinations encompass joint tracking hydration analysis weight monitoring gum tone coat texture and thermal regulation patterns. Through detailed observation of morning routines alongside sleep patterns and vocal habits, owners become involved by documenting recent behavioral anomalies. Story Road Animal Hospital provides medical services for sudden health problems alongside surgical interventions and seasonal treatments while managing chronic conditions. Support includes lab testing, imaging referrals, infection prevention, senior animal protocols, and emotionally-informed recovery checklists. The arrangement of plans occurs through deliberate spacing and sequencing designed to diminish stress while keeping owners informed yet free from overwhelm which is particularly beneficial for those handling multiple pets or intricate medical conditions. The essence of communication remains fundamental. Post-visit notes dispatch after every appointment while follow-up sessions depend on pet adjustment progress instead of fixed calendar prompts. Instruction is given to owners on detecting nuanced regression indicators as well as preparedness markers for progression. Long-term care involves the implementation of pacing methods alongside choice-based scheduling techniques and reassurance strategies. Story Road Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout Irving and Texas by focusing on animal behaviors alongside family inputs to create care plans that maintain informed stability with compassionate delivery from beginning to end.

Regular vet was out of town, another vet wanted to run thousands of dollars of additional tests when my dog's bloodwork came up normal - didn't really care that I was crying about not being able to afford more than one or two.
Got a second opinion here, very glad I did. The staff have far better bedside manner. The doctor was very patient when explaining, essentially, how I was overreacting. Took time to explain how he was doing okay, and what problems he did probably have due to his age. My dog isn't dying of some mysterious illness, he's just old and has some old man problems. I came home with some dog aspirin and a bill 1/3 of the size of the other vet. He's already more comfortable.
Good folks.

I called to schedule an appointment for my puppy and they were very willing to fit him in that same afternoon. Diana was awesome and extremely helpful with getting our dog's prior records.

Had a wonderful experience with VitalPet today! I actually came in because my usual Vet office was completely booked and I wanted to get my dog Sophie seen and taken care of ASAP. They were able to schedule me in for a few hours later. The facilities were spacious and clean and the staff were so sweet. Everybody from the front desk staff to the doctor took time to explain everything and answer any questions I had and to make sure Sophie was comfortable. Also, the visit was affordable compared to nearby clinics. They took wonderful care of my little girl Sophie, and I couldn't be happier!

The doctors and staff at Vital Pet / Story Road Animal Hospital have a wonderful bedside manner with Bama. He gets anxious really fast (and truthfully probably needs a tranquilizer before getting in the car for his appointment), but their demeanor and caring attitude towards him helps calm him down so much. They are exceptional in their approach with him, and they are highly skilled and brilliant in their profession. No matter how many issues there are to discuss or health matters/questions I have, I have never felt rushed. I always come away with a thorough treatment plan and all the answers I need. We truly appreciate them!!! the Lane family

We've been bringing our furry children to Story Road since we moved to Irving 14 years ago. Mostly just for the regular annual visits, but in 2014, my black Lab, Puddin developed liver disease and I just can't say enough wonderful things about how they helped us through her debilitating disease. Not only did they treat Puddin with medicines but they offered us holistic options that I believed kept her quality of life up .

I do not usually post reviews, but our experience with Story Road Animal Hospital over the years has been so good, I felt it deserved our feedback. We have been going to Dr. Peterman for over 11 years now. To us and our 11 year old dog, we will not see anyone else. All of the staff members are extremely nice and treat our dog so well, even though he likes to bite. Many years ago, our dog had a moderately serious health problem that required us to use another emergency vet service. At that time, they had given us a poor prognosis. We then consulted another vet, who wanted to refer us to highly expensive specialists. When we were able to return to Dr. Peterman, he gave a different assessment and treatment, and our dog recovered fully, even running around like an 11 year old puppy. Dr. Peterman even most recently needed to perform a surgical procedure on him and did so, expertly and very professionally. Our dog is recovering very well. We highly trust and recommend Dr. Peterman and Story Road Animal Hospital.

The staff as well as Dr. Glenn and Dr. Peterman are so impressive. They seem to love our animals as much as they would if they were their own.

Irving, Texas
General Info
Story Road Animal Hospital delivers services to Irving and nearby Texas regions by creating therapeutic care models that adjust slowly to match both pet temperaments and owner communication preferences. Initial visits focus on comfort: pets have the opportunity to settle while exploring the space and expressing their reactions at their own pace. Before initiating any hands-on examination the veterinary team monitors subtle indicators such as eye movement tail positioning gait changes and pressure response. Physical examinations encompass joint tracking hydration analysis weight monitoring gum tone coat texture and thermal regulation patterns. Through detailed observation of morning routines alongside sleep patterns and vocal habits, owners become involved by documenting recent behavioral anomalies. Story Road Animal Hospital provides medical services for sudden health problems alongside surgical interventions and seasonal treatments while managing chronic conditions. Support includes lab testing, imaging referrals, infection prevention, senior animal protocols, and emotionally-informed recovery checklists. The arrangement of plans occurs through deliberate spacing and sequencing designed to diminish stress while keeping owners informed yet free from overwhelm which is particularly beneficial for those handling multiple pets or intricate medical conditions. The essence of communication remains fundamental. Post-visit notes dispatch after every appointment while follow-up sessions depend on pet adjustment progress instead of fixed calendar prompts. Instruction is given to owners on detecting nuanced regression indicators as well as preparedness markers for progression. Long-term care involves the implementation of pacing methods alongside choice-based scheduling techniques and reassurance strategies. Story Road Animal Hospital delivers veterinary services throughout Irving and Texas by focusing on animal behaviors alongside family inputs to create care plans that maintain informed stability with compassionate delivery from beginning to end.

I love this place! They not only take great care of our new adopted dog Bella, but they were so kind and thoughtful when my cat Josie had to be put down. Can't thank them enough!

The vets and staff here are amazing. Not only did they help me with a care in passing of my late dog but they are there for me with my crazy hyperactive Morkie. :-) even the silly little questions like what is reverse sneezing? The ladies there very well prepared to help us. I recommend these vets to everyone I see.

Great staff, especially Dr. Peterman, he was very gentle and thorough in examining our cat. Reasonably priced too and they don't try to sell you what you don't need for your pet.

Have been coming here for 20+ years. Dr. Peterman has seen all my Akitas and has the patience of a saint. He takes time to explain everything and is super down to earth. The staff has always been great to me and my fur babies. They also board my Akita and other pups with no issues ever.

Regular vet was out of town, another vet wanted to run thousands of dollars of additional tests when my dog's bloodwork came up normal - didn't really care that I was crying about not being able to afford more than one or two.
Got a second opinion here, very glad I did. The staff have far better bedside manner. The doctor was very patient when explaining, essentially, how I was overreacting. Took time to explain how he was doing okay, and what problems he did probably have due to his age. My dog isn't dying of some mysterious illness, he's just old and has some old man problems. I came home with some dog aspirin and a bill 1/3 of the size of the other vet. He's already more comfortable.
Good folks.

I pass by this animal hospital every single morning and I don't know why I waited so long to bring both my fur babies here. I called to schedule an appointment for my puppy and they were very willing to fit him in that same afternoon. Diana was awesome and extremely helpful with getting our dog's prior records. They were even able to fit my second dog in for a grooming that same morning. Won't be taking my dogs anywhere else anytime soon!

The veterinarian's at Vital Pet have always been so kind, honest, and helpful EVERY TIME I have visited!! I have had emergency surgery twice on my pets- and both times they have saved my dogs and did it at a reasonable price! Their office is not in my neighborhood, but they are certainly worth the drive! They really do go above and beyond! I highly recommend Vital Pet- Story Road Animal Hospital!!

Had a wonderful experience with VitalPet today! I actually came in because my usual Vet office was completely booked and I wanted to get my dog Sophie seen and taken care of ASAP. They were able to schedule me in for a few hours later. The facilities were spacious and clean and the staff were so sweet. Everybody from the front desk staff to the doctor took time to explain everything and answer any questions I had and to make sure Sophie was comfortable. Also, the visit was affordable compared to nearby clinics. They took wonderful care of my little girl Sophie, and I couldn't be happier!

Had a good first time experience with a sick cat. Had a bit of wait since Dr was in surgery and took longer than expected. Dr. Peterman was very through, caring and took all the time necessary for a diagnois. Reg vet we have seen for over 15years is becoming more and more difficult to get appointment and could not work in this minor emergency. Glad I found VitalPet and Dr. Peterman

I have used Story Road Animal Clinic for over a year. They saved my 17 year old little girl kitty after she had been poisoned.
They assisted me with the tough decision to put to rest my little 17 year old boy kitty.
The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly.
I know of a lot of people who have switched from Grand Prairie Clinic to Story Road.
I would highly recommend this Clinic.

My fur baby hurt her leg and they got her in immediately. Very caring staff and doctors. The vet examined and determined she tore her ACL and referred us to a surgeon. Through them, I am able to get her in to the surgery center faster. She gave pain meds to keep her comfortable till she could resolve the injury. Highly recommend this vet.

The doctors and staff at Vital Pet / Story Road Animal Hospital have a wonderful bedside manner with Bama. He gets anxious really fast (and truthfully probably needs a tranquilizer before getting in the car for his appointment), but their demeanor and caring attitude towards him helps calm him down so much. They are exceptional in their approach with him, and they are highly skilled and brilliant in their profession. No matter how many issues there are to discuss or health matters/questions I have, I have never felt rushed. I always come away with a thorough treatment plan and all the answers I need. We truly appreciate them!!! the Lane family

I've been using Story Road Animal Hospital for years (before they were Vital Pet). And yes, the prices have gone up a lot since then but the care has too. The place has undergone a pretty major renovation over the years. Both Dr.Glenn and Dr. Peterman are the most caring, compassionate vets I have seen and I feel very comfortable bringing my pets there. The entire staff is always so friendly and caring too. They are always great about following up with information about bloodwork and other things. I feel lucky to have such a great place to bring my fur family that is so close to home.

Have been using them for many years and they have been caring and professional in both the good times and the bad. They are very concerned about the ongoing health of my dogs and have always followed up the next day to make sure any new treatments were being well tolerated. Response time for requests for prescription refills is always very prompt too.

Dr. Glenn and Dr. Peterman are the best. They take care of all three of my little lap dogs that are my children and I love to bring them here. The groomers are good also. Sat. morning I had to bring one of my dogs in with an injured leg. They were very busy with people that had appts. but they saw Suzie without us having to wait too long.

Dr. Glen will give your dogs the kind of care you won't find anywhere else. She has helped us through many tough situations like bringing our dog, Cliff, back from a life-threatening illness that another vet told us was fatal. Dr. Glenn was able to correctly identify the illness and treat him accordingly. She has helped us care for our dogs like they deserve to be cared for. Friendly staff, affordable, knowledgeable and simply the best care you will find for your dogs!

We've been bringing our furry children to Story Road since we moved to Irving 14 years ago. Mostly just for the regular annual visits, but in 2014, my black Lab, Puddin developed liver disease and I just can't say enough wonderful things about how they helped us through her debilitating disease. Not only did they treat Puddin with medicines but they offered us holistic options that I believed kept her quality of life up . Dr. Tandy also helped me emotionally, she was so helpful in making decisions. I will continue to take any and all of my furry children to Story Road.

This is so terrible of the Dr.what if the dog dosnt make it till Friday when the customer pays the other half. Never would I recommend your business

I do not usually post reviews, but our experience with Story Road Animal Hospital over the years has been so good, I felt it deserved our feedback. We have been going to Dr. Peterman for over 11 years now. To us and our 11 year old dog, we will not see anyone else. All of the staff members are extremely nice and treat our dog so well, even though he likes to bite. Many years ago, our dog had a moderately serious health problem that required us to use another emergency vet service. At that time, they had given us a poor prognosis. We then consulted another vet, who wanted to refer us to highly expensive specialists. When we were able to return to Dr. Peterman, he gave a different assessment and treatment, and our dog recovered fully, even running around like an 11 year old puppy. Dr. Peterman even most recently needed to perform a surgical procedure on him and did so, expertly and very professionally. Our dog is recovering very well. We highly trust and recommend Dr. Peterman and Story Road Animal Hospital.

The staff as well as Dr. Glenn and Dr. Peterman are so impressive. They seem to love our animals as much as they would if they were their own. My sister and I have co-shared a wonderful cat, who was diagnosed with diabetes over 6 years ago. We lost him today due to renal failure and the doctors and staff were so caring and thoughtful. I would highly recommend this vet to anyone looking for a great staff and great doctors. I could go on and on about the assistance they've provided over the years. Instead, I will end on this note. They are the only place I would take my beloved pets for healthcare needs.
