I used Dr Dearing years ago for soft palette surgery on my French Bulldog. He did an excellent job and it was priced way below other vets doing the same procedure in the metroplex. If the clinic has not been bought by a corporation, I would completely recommend their professional services!! Everyone needs a good pet for personal mental health these days, but unfortunately, not everyone can afford the medical care due to rising costs. Check 'em out read more

In short, excellent care in every way. But the short version does not do this Clinic justice, so read on. First, they have the curbside service worked out so that it is convenient. You show up, call the clinic number printed clearly on the sign, tell them which of the 6 designated spots you are parked in, and they come out and get your pet. Secondly, we are from out of town, and that wasn't an issue, even on a post-Christmas weekend. They gave me the option of an afternoon or following morning appointment. Third, the Doctors and Techs are super friendly, and most importantly, super kind and attentive to your pet. The doctor gave me specific instructions, diet recommendations, and a detailed estimate, should the situation require a surgical solution later. I am so glad, that I took the recommendation of my son-in-law who uses them for his 3 dogs! read more

I took my tortoise to Dearing and was completely satisfied with my experience. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has reptiles.

I cannot begin to express how wonderful Dr. Dearing & his staff at Dearing Veterinary Clinic were to us. They had only seen our precious Bailey Boo twice but treated her with love as she had been a lifelong patient. They were very tender with our feelings and allowed us to spend as much time with Bailey before we had to say goodbye. I've never been treated with so much compassion from a vet. Dr. Dearing was very honest explaining everything, but he spoke softly and gently. He knew this was an agonizing decision even though it was the only option to relieve her intense pain. Dr. Dearing said most Dalmatians don't live to their life expectancy, but her living to 14 years was a rarity. Bailey Boo was a rarity, a rare gem, irreplaceable. #WeloveBaileyBoo read more

This is by far the best vet clinic in the Abilene area. They take great care of our FurBabies and have always gone above and beyond in emergency situations. I love the staff, everyone is always so friendly and loving with our family members, which they know our pets are to us. read more

Great place for my animals! Friendly staff and amazing doctors! Have always treated my animals with great passion and care.

Dr. Hembree is the best! If you want a upscale vet at a reasonable price, this is the one for you. They are highly educated doctors and have all the best equipment. Professional and caring staff. Clean facility. Besides normal care, my dogs have had 3 surgeries and have been very well taken care of. They will treat your pet as their own. They even take care of my parrots. They have been my vet of choice for many years. I can't say enough about them! 10 stars! read more

Yesterday I took my dog to Dearing because he didn't feel good. They did not have an open appointment available, but they offered to let me drop him off and they would look at him in between appointments. I dropped him at 1pm, a girl came out to get him, had me fill out paperwork and then took Jack inside. I left and patiently waited the call from the dr. They finally called me at 2:45 to ask if they could do a Parvo test and I consent to that. She also asked if she could do a fecal test if the parvo was negative and I said yes. She called back about 20 min later saying he tested positive for parvo and asked what I would like to do. She laid out all of the pricing and basically only gave me one option of hospitalizing him. She wanted a $400 deposit and she said it could cost up to $1400 to take care of him. She never gave me any other option of at home treatment or meds that could help him. I told her to let me figure a few things out and I'll call back. I asked if they would give him fluids to keep him comfortable and she said YES on the phone. I went and gathered a bunch of stuff to take care of him at home and arrived back at the clinic around 4 or so. I called to let them know I arrived, they took my payment over the phone and then let me know they did an extra $40 test to do the fecal and it's a good thing they did because he had hookworms too. Whatever. At least I know. So they bring him out, he looks way worse and I asked the tech if they did the fluids or anything and she said no because I elected out of the $400 deposit to continue care. I never got to speak to the doctor who examined him other than when she called to ask if she could do the parvo test. I proceeded to ask the tech what I should do at home for him, any tips or anything she could offer me and her reply was then "I don't know." She couldn't even tell me how bad he was. I packed Jack up and I took him home. Ultimately realizing my dog just sat in a vet clinic for 3-4 hours and no one did anything for him. They didn't even offer his temperature to me. Or a receipt. Jack spiraled down quickly despite me doing what I could to keep him hydrated and he quit letting me open his mouth to help him. His jaw locked and he quit getting up to used the restroom and finally soiled himself. A friend showed up and we rushed him to the emergency vet on industrial. They managed to stabilize him with a 107 temperature and we were getting ready to pay for overnight care when he let us know that Jack had went into cardiac arrest and he passed away lastnight. I went to Dearing because they took such great care of him as a puppy and they were highly recommended by many friends, but as a patient my dog was not taken care of this time. The lack of education on my end and not knowing how bad it was, and the negligence of the clinic not giving me all of the information I needed to help him during the most critical time is probably what killed him. read more

My boy was picked up by animal control on New Year's Eve. He'd recently began to have breathing problems and I was hoping to make him better with home remedy meds. Of course that didn't work and I felt bad. So called out to make an appointment, was advised to bring him in now and someone would look at him. Made it there in 15 minutes, brought back immediately and was done within 30 minutes. The vet who tended to him was good and attentive. Watson is usually hyper but was super cool with her down in his face. Definitely will be using them more than once. Thanks for tending to my big baby boy! read more

The staff at Dearing is amazing. Everyone was so helpful, kind, and educational. We went for my pup's shots & the price was great and we even scored some freebies including a 1 month supply of flea/tick medication, a leash, and a small toy! The vet answered all of our questions in detail & really took his time with us which we really appreciated. Everything was clean and didn't stink. Our pup had a peepee accident during his visit and they told us not to worry and cleaned it immediately. 10/10 overall service. I ABSOLUTELY recommend this place for all your animal needs. read more

Been using Dearings since 2008. The staff isn't nearly as friendly as they used to be or as helpful. I recently had an issue in which they wouldn't refill a prescription without proof that a dog I rescued had a current prescription. Fine, that makes sense, so I faxed them a copy, gave them the number of the prescribing vet, and asked them to call me if they had questions. Staff instead just sent me a fax back saying they will not authorize a refill and told me to call the former vet if I wanted a refill. Seems like poor customer service to not even offer the Coutesy of a phone call and explanation. They did a great job of making me feel like they don't value me at all as a long-time customer. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place! My greenwing macaw was very ill. They were wonderful with him! They spoiled him rotten! He had to stay for 10 days and Dr. Hembree and the staff was incredible! I live 90 minutes away so they made him his favorite foods, scrambled eggs and oatmeal. Kyle was just great with Lolly and he was really fun to talk to. Terry and Brittany never acted like I was the crazy owner on the phone and they were always updating me on his progress and Dr. Hembree made it a point to call me every day with a progress report. Thank you ALL for making Lolly well and putting his owner's mind at ease. Avian vets are few and far between and this one is TOPS! read more

While my husband has been using Dearing Veterinary Clinic for years, I only moved to Abilene several months ago and left behind veterinarians that I really trusted in my home town. After having the good folks at Dearing care for my sweet dogs, I have come to trust them as much as my old vet. They have come to know my dogs and understand their personalities. I have always been very pleased with the service and the care. read more
