This is a great place to take your pets. My dog has a chronic illness and is very skittish with strangers. The doctors and staff at Humane Animal Hospital have won her over with their patience and kindness (and treats). Read Less

Dr Carver truly loves caring for animals. He helped me very gracefully years ago with a much loved lab who's time had come. Now he is caring for my Great Dane. His compassion and skills are why I go to him. It's crazy hard to find a place that will board a Great Dane for a reasonable price. He has big pens that are air conditioned. He runs a very busy practice because he's so popular. You get his personal touch. He remembers me. I'm not just a number. My dog likes him too! Read Less

Best Bulldog specialist I’ve been to. Many other vets recommended that I have my bulldog put to sleep due to breathing issues when he was only a year old, I took him to Doctor Carver as my last ditch effort and he recommended clipping his soft pallet so I decided to give it a try and it made all the difference in the world. If you have a Bulldog (or any other dog or cat) don’t take them to just any vet take them to Dr. Carver Read Less

Cost conscious while still health conscious, I'd give 5 stars except that sometimes you need to be sure to ask the RIGHT questions & sometimes you need to be sure they run a test bc they're trying to save you money even though you may want a test done on your pet (ie:bloodwork, fecal float) All around great experience with great staff Read Less

By far, the best vets you’ll ever find. I’ve been a client since they were in another location off of Avenue K. Every single one of my family’s and my pets (including dogs, bunnies, and cats) have been treated and cared for by them. Dr. Carver and Dr. Volosen are both amazing. They treat you with respect and clearly explain what your pet needs, and they don’t do anything unnecessary. My previous cat got digestive cancer, and the team was incredibly compassionate on what was one of the worst nights of my young adult life when I brought her in to put her down. My current kitty is a total handful (broke his hip at 4 months old in a freak accident) and is clearly the runt of his litter. He has experienced a couple emergencies/scares at non-business hours, and Dr. Carver called me back at 9:45 pm (!) to talk me through what to look for and to determine if I needed to come in to the clinic immediately or not. Do you have to wait a bit? Yes. That’s how you know your doctor(s) are great- the waiting room is full. So bring a book, and they will spend the time you need when it’s your turn. Best vets ever.

We were searching for a Veterinarian that could help our injured baby tortoise and were referred to Dr. Carver at the Humane Animal Hospital. He and his staff were amazing! He immediately got “Aristurtle” on the road to recovery even though it meant he stay after the office closed to help save our little buddy. Dr. Carver even gave us his personal cell number to call over the weekend if we needed him. What Veterinarian does that?? We were impressed to say the least. An added bonus was that his services were reasonably priced. We have definitely found our new Veterinarian. Read Less

We really like Dr Carver. He is great with our bulldog and has always taken good care of him. My only feedback are the long waits. I don't look forward coming because I know I will be spending an entire morning there. It doesn't fail that the entire appointment last at least two hours just for an annual check. I once was there for three hours. I have been tempted to go somewhere else but I truly value Dr Carver knowledge and trust him with my bulldog. I would love to see how can they improve on their service, that will make the entire process for the pet and the owner much pleasant. Read Less

This place doesnt look like much from the outside but Dr.Carver and staff are amazing! Prices are affordable because you arent paying for the overhead of a grand clinic. Dr. Carver has been great from the beginning with both of our dogs but has given extra care to our Bulldog Mona who has needed it most. I had to leave her for 48 hours after getting her soft pallette surgery done and dont know that i could have done so with anyone else. We will be patients there as long as Dr. Carver is around.

I'm so grateful for Dr. carver and his staff at Humane Animal Hospital! My little mini doxie has been treated here on numerous occasions and I always leave happy. My little one was sick and after several appointments and paying for several tests at his previous vet (a widely known chain) we were no where closer to a diagnosis than when we began. I was running out of money and my dog was running out of time as he had already lost almost half his body weight. I ended up finding Dr. Carver from a google search and within 10-15 seconds of being examined he was diagnosed and 2 hours later he received the surgery that saved his life. That was 3 years ago and I've continued to use this vet clinic and referred my friends and family to them. Most recently my little one caught kennel cough after a trip to the animal shelter while adopting a new pet and after receiving treatment he's as good a new. I would say their facilities would be considered "no frills", but that's ok with me because their prices are much more affordable than my previous vet. Dr. Carver and his staff are great to deal with and I believe they genuinely care about animals and their people. Read Less

I just started taking my English bulldog to Humane Animal hospital. It is a little bit of a drive for me, but very worth the drive. Dr.Carver took time to talk to me about the English bulldog breed. He answered all the questions I had. When I left the office I left there knowing I made the right choice for my pup. Read Less

Dr Carver was so compassionate when we had to euthanize our ferret. She was in extreme pain and he gave her pain relief that worked immediately. We stayed with her until she was comfortable. There was an air of calmness about her, she was no longer in pain. For the final phase he suggested I leave but gave me the option to stay. All through the process he was the most compassionate vet I have ever met. He was 100% committed to the welfare of Misty Read Less

We've been bringing our dogs here for over 6 years, and we couldn't be happier with how they are treated by Dr. Carver, Dr. V, and the rest of the team! They truly have our pets' health and care as their number one concern, and are very reasonable with price. They just want to make sure your pet is taken care of! Read Less

This place is great. Maybe not the best "looking" place but I have zero issues with this place. Make sure you make an appointment and expect to be called in late but if it's not an emergency it's worth the wait. I'll be a customer for as long as possible. Read Less

The doctores have taken care if both of my cats, Willow and her daughter Jasmine. I almost lost willow but the doctors and staff did everything they could and saved her life.... My other cat, Jasmine was a different story. She got real sick rather quickly and I took her to them last night. They showed me what needed to be done to help her, but they were honest with me and told me that she might not live through the procedure... They are more concerned about the animal and not the money... In the end, I did have to make the decision and put her down, but the doctors were very compassionate during the entire process... They are the best!! Thank you for all you have done for me and mostly my girls!! Read Less

The hospital stay for my kittens was great. The pre communication process with Amy and Dr Carver to select the facility for the procedure was also excellent. Amy is the shining star of this hospital, she is patience and through and a lover of animals. You can see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. From the time I met her I knew Morpheus and Pandora were going to be okay The hospital is clean and doesn't have any offense odors. The visiting room for pets recovering from surgery to see there owners is a nice idea, I don't think I could have been separated from my babies for a week. Also it's good for the pet's recovery. I also like the idea of them staying for a few days after surgery, at first I didn't like everyone else in this world we have become use to going in the hospital(human) and being kicked out as quickly as possible because of insurance. I digress,  but staying eliminated all the worry, an possibility of them hurting themselves People should get health care treatment at this level. But when I picked them up they were purring and pain free and happy to go home. This is a very busy hospital because of the exceptional care they provide so you may have a wait during busy times but it is worth it for the care, price, and attention your pets receive. I read somewhere a reviewer said Dr Carver was old school. Which to means he pays attention to details and doesn't cut corners. But her comments reflect the mill mentality of today's society. Amy special thanks and blessings. Dr. Carver keep doing what you do. Read Less

I would like to thank Dr. Carver all of the staff at Humane Animal Hospital for always going above and beyond to care for our fur-family members in a caring and compassionate manner. All of my pets have been cared for by Dr. Carver and his staff for over 20 years. Read Less

Dr. Carver is an amazing vet! He saved my pup from having 2 huge nasty warts that grew so deep. Then he had one more and he was able to freeze it. I have a french bulldog and he took amazing care of him. I def recommend Dr. Carver! Especially if you have a Bulldog.- Svetlana Read Less

I was looking for a vet who could see my pup immediately. I could tell she was in pain and had no idea what was wrong. I needed somewhere that wouldn't break the bank. #1 they take Care Credit if you need that option. #2 the rates were reasonable and they even gave me a couple discounts. #3 they reviewed all recommendations with prices with me in advance so I could see my options. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of my wait time. I did call in advance and was told they had an opening at 10:45 am. It took 50 minutes or more before the Dr came in. Dr Vonoso was very kind and the vet tech was super friendly and gentle with my little girl. I'm thankful for their kindness and ability to see me the same day, as well as provide the minor discounts just to help a little more. I'll definitely be bringing my other girl here as well.

I've been coming to Dr. Carver for 14 years. He's one of the best vets in the world! I trust him and his staff implicitly with the care of my dogs. When my eldest pup passed away the entire staff were so sweet and amazing! I will never forget it. Read Less

TL; DR: Mostly nice people, convenient scheduling, and very fair prices (about $450 for spay and laser declaw.) There were no complications, and my kitten was 100% back to her old self in 2 weeks max. If you are a person on a budget, I would recommend this place for spay/declaw. However, I believe the practices and procedures are outdated. If you have the means to try somewhere more modern, I would go that route.The full review:I brought my Persian kitten, Little Cat, here in May for a laser declaw/spay. When I was trying to decide where to take her, I felt like there was a serious lack of reviews for spay/declaw (and for cats in general, really), so I want to leave a fairly thorough recap for any cat moms and dads who are feeling a little lost like I was.This was my first bringing any pet to this vet. I appreciated that I was able to make the appointment very quickly via email without having to come meet anybody first as I was on a tight schedule and traveling a lot at the time. However, since there was no consultation, I was caught very off guard by some of their policies. Firstly, I dropped her off on Tuesday and was told that I could pick her up Saturday!?! (I had done TONS of research and had never heard of a vet keeping the kitty for more than 2 days (much less 4.) This policy made me super uncomfortable, and I started to waffle on whether I should leave her. The vet wasn't in yet, so I asked if the vet tech could explain why their policy differed so much from the standard operating procedures. Her explanation? "Each vet has its own policies and this is ours." Maybe it's the obnoxious lawyer in me, but "because that's just the way we do it" is just not a satisfactory answer. The tech was obviously put out with me, but I didn't care. I asked for the vet to call me as soon as he arrived at the office/ before beginning the procedure. (Side note: I worked with Dr. Volosen. I think Dr. Carter owns the practice, but he was out of town the week I was there.)When Dr. Volosen called, I politely interrogated him about the policy and told him I absolutely would not be leaving her for 4 days. He said "Maybe you can get her Friday, we'll see." I wasn't exactly pleased with his response, but he seemed competent enough, and I knew that he couldn't legally keep Little Cat against my permission. So, being tight on time (and money) I decided to leave her.  I went to see LC the day after the surgery. I loved that the nurses let me spend lots of time with her in a separate room, and she didn't appear to be in distress. However, she had very tight bandages on her paws which, again, is not standard procedure for laser declaw given that there should be little to no bleeding. Tight bandaging can restrict the blood flow to the paws, causing nerve damage and/or delaying healing. Again, I asked for the vet to call me as soon as he had a minute. A couple of hours later, Dr. Volosen called to say he left the bandages on in order to prevent the wounds from splitting and would take them off Saturday. (In the interest of brevity I'll spare y'all the details, but just PM me if you want to know why his response didn't make much sense.) I said no and that I would only agree to leave her until Friday IF he took the bandages off Thursday. Otherwise, I'd be picking her up Thursday. He begrudgingly agreed to take the bandages off.I picked her up Friday morning, and she seemed fine. The vet tech explained her aftercare (including the fact that we'd need to come back in 2 weeks to have the spay stitches removed) and we went on our way. I spent about $450 which included the laser declaw, the spay, the Elizabethan collar to keep her from scratching herself, a pain patch, anti-biotics, and the overnight stays. I also think I opted to have her heart checked before anesthesia, but didn't pay the $70 to have it monitored. (I'll update when/if I find the bill.) I would be shocked if you could find a more reasonable price than this in the Metroplex.When I came back to have her stitches removed, Dr. Volosen came out to the lobby where I was waiting. I had yet to meet him in person, and when he opened the door he said: "Where is the lady? I must meet her. Ah. There she is. You gave me very hard time! But is ok. Little Cat is very good. See, no problems."He was very friendly, and the exchange kind of warmed my heart. So would I recommend this clinic for a spay/declaw again? Yes, but only if you're on a budget. If money is no object, you should go somewhere with a more modern understanding of how the procedure works.  But, if you're a poor student like me, I think this place is competent, and they do care about your pets. I am so grateful to have found somewhere that allowed me to have this procedure done without absolutely breaking the bank. Read Less

This is the most amazing staff!! They are compassionate and kind. The wait can be long, but Dr. Carver takes his time explaining all options so it is worth the wait. I have been taking my babies there for ten years!! Read Less

Dr. Carver and his staff are some of the most caring people I have ever met. Dr. Carver lived a few streets down from where I grew up and in a time of crisis I remembered him. We are so thankful to have had the good fortune that he was still practicing. He saved our cat Mercedes life. She had been taken to an ER the day before and had a partial blood transfusion done. When we took her to Dr. Carver she was in bad shape. Dr. Carver did a full blood transfusion and kept her at his clinic for 8 days. The staff here really cares and I am so grateful for their generosity and more importantly their love. They went above and beyond what was required or asked of them to help Mercedes. Not only did they save her life but they also made sure she was comfortable. Dr. Carver was beyond generous with treatment and time. He called several times directly from his cell phone to check on her. Many other vet clinics were trying to gouge us, and here at Humane Animal Hospital all they wanted to do was help and that they did. Amy & Sheryl were so friendly and comforting. You can see it when they smile, that they really want to help and their compassion is something I will forever remember. Dr. Carver has left a lasting impression on that I will never forget how gracious and caring he was. This is man who treats you like a fellow family member and I would trust him with my own life. He never rushed us, only comforted us and I know he worked his butt off to find a way to save Mercedes. I feel blessed and lucky to have met him. He was kind, loving, and generous. I know Dr. Carver has only the best intentions and he has a great heart. I would highly recommend Dr. Carver to anyone. We have officially switched vets and I will only to my pets to Dr. Carver. Thank you again Dr. Carver for the love, attention, and care you and ALL your staff showed. You & your staff saved Mercedes life. Thank you for calling us late at night to check on her, that was such a warm gesture. Human Animal Hospital is clearly the choice for those who want a caring VET clinic.Read Less

Humane Animal Hospital owned by Dr. John Carver is one of two reputable Bulldog experts in the DFW metroplex. Dr. Carver is assisted by Dr. Mirca Volosen and their staff Chris, Cheryl, Amy and many more unforgettable individuals. Each one loves animals from the average dog and cat to the exotic. Last but not least they even give great service to their sometimes overbearing pet parents. Our latest visit to this clinic was because an emergency of sorts. My 2 bulldogs ate Brillo Pads one afternoon. Dr. Carver was contacted and he urged me to bring them in immediately and not wait. Long story short one needed surgery and the other needed to be monitored. Throughout their 1 week stay, Dr. Carver called me with updates and allowed me to ask lots of questions. We were allowed to visit during clinic hours after for a short period of time. We were expected to wait a while as they gave medical attention to ours and other patients. We also made sure to keep our visit short in accordance with their 15 minute visitation policy. We recognize that we are not the only ones in treatment so I would hope others in the future would respect this boundary with no complaint. We still provide updates as their treatment is not over. Dr. Carver follows through with the treatment plan from A to Z. Finally, my wife and I will continue to travel from Southwest Dallas to Plano to see him from health concerns ranging from ear infections to emergencies since he is well equipped for our breed specific needs. I highly recommend him for his continued care for Bulldogs and his staff's professionalism with our dogs' health care.Yours always, The Brillo BulliesBonnie, Clyde, Jaime and Ashley Read Less

So far, so good.  How nice it is to have a Veterinarian that truly understands brachycephalic dogs and can operate on them understanding the difficulties of anesthesia and these pets.  My French Bulldog is almost 11 years old which is old for the breed and so operating on her everted saccules and a particularly elongated palate which had almost cut off her breathing was something that only a very knowledgeable surgeon could pull off.  Luckily for me too it is only a ten minute drive from my home as my old vet worked out of Midlothian, TX which is south of  Dallas, Texas about 30 miles and takes an hour for me to drive there.  This vet was the one that was recommended by the breeder originally and was very good but recently detached a retina so he no longer does surgery on any animals.  I was scared until I found Dr. Carver and was instantly made to feel comfortable by his positive attitude and immense knowledge on the subject of the brachycephalic breeds.

Dr. Carver was everything I needed and more. The love he has for all animals ... I've never seen before. He wA there when I needed him & helped out in every way possible after that. I can only pray that when he retires another vet will have to same passion and not just think of taking care of sick/hurt pets as a career! Read Less

I have been going to Dr. Carver ever since my dog was months old.. he's now a very old senior. They always take great care of him and will do EVERYTHING to make sure he's OK. Dr. Carver has literally saved his life on 2 occasions and makes himself available in the event of an emergency. He even came in on Thanksgiving to help my dog, this is just one instance of his selflessness. He's honest and fair about the treatment and will not OVER-treat your animal.  Also, I know the wait time can be a pain...but, knowing how well cared for my dog is, is worth it. The staff up front is great and caring and have all come to love and care for my dog. I couldn't feel more confident in his wellness when he's with them. All my animals will be cared for by Dr. Carver & team. Read Less

We love Dr. Carver! He's the only vet I trust my dog with. Our dog has had 3 surgeries in the 2 years we've had him and each time Dr. Carver and the staff have been great.

After many times of going to them. The last visit made me look else where. I am in search of a new vet as I'm writing this. The most recent visit I took my rat terrier to them. I called and they happened to have an opening at that time. I didn't wait long (surprisingly as last visit with my Shih tzu took 2 hours with an appointment and I saw the vet a total of 10 minutes). She's been in pain, screams when you get near her, ok time to take her in. We need to figure out what's going on. The Dr. moves her around, looks at her teeth, then says she need x-Rays. He also said that her knees aren't developed correctly. So after the X-Ray he comes back to the room. Tells me she's constipated, this is the funniest thing bc this dog poops A LOT! I mean every time she goes outside she poops. This dog can't be constipated. He looks at me with a serious face and says "there's something wrong with your dog" duh. That's why I'm here!!!! He then has me go look at the X-Rays and shows me all the poop. Ok. I know this. He wants to fix this problem, not the one I came in for. He shows me how her back is curved, he "thinks" she has back problems and that her not having a tail "might" be a problem.  He asks me why she's skinny. Asks me if she eats. I tell him I feed my dog and she sure can eat and poop and poop some more. This is not the reason I'm here, but what he decides to treat. He gave her 2 shots, I have no idea what they are for. He gave me 4 different medicines to give her, which is a lot of work to remember to do and how much for when. It's almost been a week of remembering all these things. She seems worse. She screams even more when she moves. She doesn't want you to touch her. She doesn't want to get up. She doesn't seem to be happy right now. There is something majorly wrong with my dog. She still poops a lot. I am going for a second opinion hopefully Friday. I feel so bad for my dog. She's in so much pain and doesn't want to snuggle or cuddle or jump. She's a rat terrier they jump, almost as much as she poops. Don't go here, they are terrible at explaining anything. Both doctors are. Read Less

I have been going to this place for since 2007 when I moved to Richardson. its pretty close by and works for me. If you can ignore them trying to sell things to you all the time like dental cleanings, you can get by with a decent vet bill.But I give this place 2 stars because the waiting is horrendous.  You may wait from 30 minutes to an hour just to get into the examination room even though the appointment was set for a specific time. And it doesn't stop there. There has been an occasion where I waited an hour and a half in the examination room. I have an issue with that as "my time" is just as valuable as I only get certain days off to be able to take care of issues like this. Because of this, I am still looking for another vet close by. I just think its unprofessional to make someone wait so long just to see a Vet. The most recent visit happened yesterday, and I waited 40 minutes to get into a room. They at least got to me soon enough just for basic shots.. I am pretty disappointed at this point. Read Less

My animals are part of my family and they go nowhere but here?. In a time where people are so quick to complain about businesses, I want to commend one instead: I found this clinic back in 2006 when my 8 year old cat began showing symptoms of FUTD. I did a panicked web search and found Humane Animal Hospital with a listing for the doctor's home number listed! I called the number, told Dr. Carver the symptoms my kitty was displaying and he said get him to the clinic right now, I will find a babysitter for my two year old daughter and meet you there. It was the best move I ever made. I found a vet who not only cared deeply for the animals but also tried to contain costs -- not to maximize HIS profit, but to make sure the animals got the best care possible. I cannot recommend him more highly. If you want a vet who cares for your animals the way you do, your search is over. Read Less
