We are new to the area, and I was very concerned about finding a new vet for our cats. We have taken both cats now and had great experience both times. Everyone is nice and gentle with our boys. Happy to be attached to Dr Rachel! read more

My cat was very sick & I was a nervous wreck. They did such a good job of taking care of both of us. The whole staff was wonderful, especially Dr. Busby. She called me twice a day to report on his progress. Pico is home & healthy & we have a new vet! Thanks for terrific care. read more

It started out okay and liked them but they wrongly treated my pet. They did not listen to my concerns or directions. I'm convinced they KILLED my wonderful companion. read more

Called the day before to get my bernedoodle Milo on for an ear problem. She told me to be there the next day between 8-9:00. Arrived at 8:45, was in the exam room 9:00. And they were extremely busy but efficient. They check and did a swab of his ears. He had bacteria and they treated him with care and patience. The veterinarian tech was really good to him did a great job! Sorry I didn't get her name. Vet was Busby, DVM. read more

Dykes Veterinary Clinic - Waiting on vet tech! - Veterinarians Near Me - Foley, Alabama

Everyone was very helpful and efficient. Vet took time to answer questions and I didn't feel rushed.

Dykes and Summerale is owned by same corporation & not as a veterinaryclinic anymore. 20+ year customer and both places are so unprofessional now. I had horrible experience at both places. Dr. Dykes was one of the best. It's unfortunate this company is ruining his practice. Our pets are not a commodity and how I was treated with such disrespect. Summerdale quoted me 75.00 office visit, but when I checked out they changed the office visit price from 75 to 225. I asked for a credit, they said no, even after admitting they quoted me 75.00 office charge. That is not how you run a business. That is false advertising. Dykes staff refused my dog to be seen as a walk in, 10 minutes is all he needed after being sick for several days after Dykes Veterinary did surgery. He ended up with 7 teeth extracted, they didn't give me a courtesy call to tell me and told me his kidney levels were elevated yet still did surgery when I picked him up. That " little elevation" costed me 700.00 with 4 Rx's after and an emergency clinic charge that was originally 75.00 charge. They did not honor their word. You are a number and its a about $$$ now. How sad, Dr. Dykes doesn't deserve that, he would never run his practice that way. He has such compassion for his animals & respect for the local people in our community...I'm disgusted & so disappointed by the lack of treatment & respect for not only myself but my pet. Heard Dr.Langston is good, looking elsewhere for a clinic that is quality not quantity. Going to miss Dr. Dykes. read more

Dykes Veterinary Clinic - Read my review..the response from the office manager speaks VOLUMES. "PARAPHRASING WE REGRET OUR SERVICES WEREN'T WHAT YOU EXPECTED ?" - Veterinarians Near Me - Foley, Alabama

They were helpful with our new puppy. Answering questions and helping with future visits

The first time I went there my pup was treated by Dr. Dykes What an amazing, confidence, gentle soul. Just recovering from heart attack he was still the soul of congeniality and holy committed to his work. Now, with new owners, the staff seems wholly dedicated to making money, not caring about their clientele. It was one of the most expensive, and socially unsatisfying experiences I've ever had to simply take my dog to have his teeth cleaned. Will be looking for another place to go read more

They took very good care of my elderly cat. They sold near the end of his death and I could tell that things were changing and the big box owners were going to be more about money than care read more

I have been going to them for years since I first moved to Foley. Good vets. They just need a bigger office and parking lot . Sometimes they wait is long, but they stay very busy. The prices did go up when they sold and were no longer privately owned, but that happens everywhere. Dr. Dykes is awesome, though he will probably retire soon. The other vets in the practice are all good vets. As far as taking care of my animals. My two oldest cats are 17 and have gone there since they were 5 days old. The staff is always nice and I have never had any problems with any of the vets. read more

So today has been the hardest day for us in a long time..our 15 year dashund had to be put down, we are devastated and I have cried continually all day.. I know he is not suffering and we are grateful for that but the pain is awful. He was the sweetest boy and I will miss him everyday of my life..the doc who helped us thru this was Dr. Dixon who gently explained everything which we were so grateful for her..I love this office everyone is so kind.. read more

See all

Absolutely do not recommend, my dogs stitches are very poorly put on and they left her bloody and in a lot of pain, they did not even give her a cone for her head so she wouldn't lick the stitches, they have very poor costumer service and I felt devalued and stupid when it came to my dog. It's sad because I heard good reviews and trusted them with my sweet baby. read more

Please read entirely. I have been a very long time client of Dr. Dykes for over 20 years and in the last few years and especially on my last visit the decline of the quality of care has become the quality of financial gain. The doctor I saw for a hematoma in my cats ear was beyond contradictory. I had told them she she had an issue with ear mites so they took a sample to look at. When the doctor came in she said that it wasn't ear mites but bacteria and yeast but Danerys would have to have her ear lanced and drained and it would be about $40. Now if I had been informed that the cost would be more I would been fine with that but I was not. When they brought my girl back to me they told me she was infested with mites and she had medication for it as well as to help with the hematoma. When I reached the counter and was told I owed over $225 I was flabbergasted to say the least. The worst part is my cat is absolutely no better so I called and they were apologetic and said they would waive the office visit buy anything else I would have to pay. I am BEYOND DISAPPOINTED. In years passed I had recommended Dr. Dykes to many many people but no longer will I do it. They have turned to financial gain instead of the proper care and commitment to the animals and their clients read more

Although we don't use them anymore due to having put my best friend down, all the employees are wonderful and caring!

Love doctor Dykes and all the staff. They were real good to my dog. It shows that they love animals there.

I'm sad to have to give a bad review because at one time I experienced nothing but good from this vet office. Something has changed and after losing 2 pets under their watch I can no longer use their service. This is not an emotional response to the lose of those pets. This review is being made after experiencing 2 different times where my pets were taken to them and despite my best efforts both pets were not cared for in a timely manner and died painful deaths. My dog was diagnosed with back problems and 10 days later when they actually took the time to look at what was really going on with her a spleen tumor had ruptured in her abdomen and she went 10 days in pain and died. Despite my misgivings I went back 4 weeks ago with my sick cat. Hundreds of dollars later and back and forth to Dykes they finally checked his blood and urine and found he had a serious bladder infection and problems with his kidneys. So I wonder 2 weeks ago when his kept getting sicker why he had to die this morning. They appear to have way to much going on with the walk ins and the level of service has been compromised. My experience was with 3 different vets in this office and I don't want to slander their names. Just don't do what I did . I should have never gone back to them. read more

We cant say enough about how wonderful the Expert.....compationate ...Staff and Veterinarians at this special clinic.....we're a "walkin". ... The vet took as much time needed to examine and treat our Sharpei [which is a difficult breed to care for) We cant say enough in praise of the clinic! read more

This is not your average veterinary clinic! They truly treat your babies like their own family! When I first got Chico as a tiny pup over a year ago & was in a store getting his supplies, I just mentioned needing to find a good vet for my new baby while talking the cashier, she referred me to Dykes. And when my Chico got into "something" which caused his face & eyes to swell, I called frantically knowing it was late, well after business hours. The on call doctor told me what to do & reassured me if it would make me more at ease, he would meet me at the clinic to check Chico out! Well, his advise did work & I didn't have to bring him in, but from then on, I knew without a doubt these were caring people! It is time for his checkup & since I have moved to Daphne, but my baby will only be going to Dykes!! Chico & Jennifer Honeycutt read more

Dr. Walker was on call last night when my Boxer went into severe distress. He and his staff were the most sensitive and caring veterinarians I have ever encountered. If you are looking for a vet that really cares deeply about what they do, their patients, and their family, take them here. I feel very blessed to have had met Dr. Walker and his staff and to have him to care for my furry baby last night. read more

We took our new kitten here as we have just moved into the area. I was very impressed with the vet and the service received. They were very gentle and loving to our kitty. We will be back. read more

I only needed vaccines for my two dogs called Dykes and they willingly take walk-ins between 2 and 3 PM for only vaccines. The service was very friendly and very quick. The charges were very economical as well. The facility was very clean and all staff was extremely friendly, we will be back! read more

I called one morning to ask about dropping off my parrot for a toenail, wing and beak trim. The lady who answered the phone told me if I could come in between 2:00 and 3:30 that afternoon, they would work me in. I got there at 2:10 and was told at the front desk that they were no longer taking drop-offs. This review is no reflection on the veterinarians in the practice, as they are said to deliver good pet care. Rather, I think it's very poor communications by the front desk people. I'll go elsewhere. read more

The vets here are good. Having said that. I have been here 4 times now Never less than a 45 minute wait in the lobby. By the time I see a vet and get the meds for my dogs, it is between an hour and a half to 2 hours before we leave. Today. I had a young lady at the front desk get totally disrespectful and talked down to me. This place needs help with people treatment Sitting here in a treatment room listening to young ladies laughing and having a good time while other people wait in the lobby read more

I took my pet for a minor surgery, which got infected. The night I brought her home she passed away. This was a very devistating experience. Having to select a box to put your pet in instead of bring her home healthy. I will never recommend them.!!! read more

I took my puppy here and I absolutely loved Dykes. My veterinarian took the time to talk to me and he was just as interested in my puppy as I was. They truly care here and have such affordable prices! Cheapest clinic I have been to by far. My puppy's spay was around $200 and I was very pleased with her treatment. On thanksgiving week I was able to get seen and get a nail trim immediately. We had to move due to being in the military, but we loved Dykes. read more

Dr. Walker is an outstanding doctor. He has cared for my 19 year old cat for the last five years. Monday was the day I knew would come but didn't want to ever see. He showed us the x-rays. He was honest and so very compassionate. He said he would do whatever I needed him to do and would treat my sweet Tuffy as his own. Words cannot express how grateful his compassionate manner was. He treated this as the huge deal that it was, and I am so grateful. read more

I had to make a 7 day out appt for something that needed attention soon in a 14 year old dog and after waiting 1 hour was still not seen. I will NEVER go back read more

My dog injured her paw during my recent vacation and Dykes squeezed us in even though they were about to close. They were so kind and did a great job. The price was great. I appreciate them taking such good care of my dog. They are amazing! read more

A family member took 1 of her 4 labs in to be spayed.... she was healthy and full of life! They Mistook Her For Another Dog Then Euthanized her... no phone call no nothing... then the tech that made this mistake couldn't even own up to it and apologize in person!!! There Was No Remorse, Just "people make mistakes" so with a heavy heart she had to pick up her beloved animal and bury her at home... this SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED!!! no precautions, no fail safes, just out right incompetence on their part..FOR SHAME! read more

This is a fairly busy clinic, requiring some wait time. Given the quality of care by the veterinarians, I would gladly wait here before venturing to any other clinic in the area. My family and I have used this vet clinic for countless years, with several animals. These doctors genuinely care about mine and my family's animals. They have provided me with medical advice, medical treatments, and have even stood and cried with my family as we had to have our dog put to sleep. I have recently moved away from the area but still return to this clinic for advice and for medical treatments because I know that my animals will get the level of care that I expect from a good clinician. read more

I am new to town & will definitely make Dyke's our new vet! I brought my puppy in yesterday for an emergency visit & I didn't have to wait at all! They were quick to help & very professional. Just 24hrs later she was back to normal! Turns out she ingested some type of chemical but the injections & the medicine made her better within hours! Thank you so so much!!! read more

This is a veterinarian who truly cares about animals. He went way out of way to help us when we had to put our dog down. He showed kindness and was willing to come in on a Sunday. I highly recommend this clinic if you're animal needs a true professional. read more

I would give this place -stars if possible! I've never dealt with anything like this before! This is the saddest thing! My Son's Dog, Tucker, got out of the house and got hit by a car. My Mom rushed him to the Vet. Unfortunately, we were told that Dykes would be the best. Everything went great! My Mom was told she could pay $100 and make payments on the rest. We went to pick him up yesterday and was told we had to pay the whole balance before we could have Tucker. I told them I don't have it! They said "write a check" I don't have a checking account "go get it from a friend" My friends don't have $300 to just give me! I was then followed to the car and told that if I couldn't pay them, then they were going to call the police and have me arrested for abandonment! I've never seen a Vet so heartless and lowdown! I will NEVER take another animal to them! read more

All the doctors in this office are wonderful. They have taken care of our numerous dogs, my elderly cat, and my son's turtles! My oldest dog prefers Dr Dykes, my stubborn puppy prefers Dr Shriver, the cat sees...well he's old and grumpy so he has to get gas to be examined, and the turtle prefers Dr Walker. Yes turtles have preferences. The ladies in front are very personable and professional. Colton did a great job keeping my stubborn rambunctious bull mastiff mix under control. read more

I wouldn't take my pet anywhere else! The doctor's are attentive to both pet and owner. They are conscious of pet costs, and do their best to keep costs down, but don't skimp on what is necessary. Everyone is friendly, and they seem to really love their furry clients. Just the best! read more

It just takes so long but they really do have the best vets

Dr. Langston at dykes animal clinic is AMAZING and truly cares about the animals and not monetary gain! He is very affordable and was so compassionate and understanding in our time of need! I highly recommend him to anyone! I drove over an hour to get to his office and can say it was worth every minute!! My dog is doing phenomenal after surgery all thanks to the staff at dykes! I cannot say enough good things! read more

Update...I have since had several appointments with Dr. Dykes himself due to fostering a few pets. I have to say that I don't know who the vet was that refused to work with me financially that day, but I do know Dr. Dykes himself was out due to an Illness. His prices have been competitively cheaper in dealing with him, and the medications needed. I've also had Dr. Walker and Dr. Schreiber and they too have been awesome. read more

We have brought our pets to David Dykes and Team for 29 years. Once in a blue moon we have used other local vets however we have always found ourselves coming back to Dykes. They maintain a compassionate and well equiped practice with a staff that goes out of their way to make everyone feel special. David and his carefully selected crew of Animal Lovers have watched over and cared for our Rhodesian Ridgebacks from birth to old age. We currently have 5 adults and 4 puppies. Thanks to Doc Langston, who is a Reproductive genuis we have been able to make the dreams of many carefully selected families come true. Knowing I can stop by or call and pick the brains of these exceptional Vets has greatly enhanced our adventure in owning a Show and Therapy Dog Kennel. We know our deeply loved dogs are cared for as if they belonged to the Team at Dykes. The Office was expanded and has a cheerful and spotlessly clean ambience and it is conviently located in the middle of town. We do not breed often, and when we do we know our puppy families appreciate the extent they go to when helping us put together our puppy manuals. Helping us include all health care information from their first visit to their ready to go home check up. Another local vet was used years ago when strongly suggested for Reproduction assistance. They managed to miss a heart murmur on one puppy in all of the many visits. At Dykes we do not need to worry that a casual approach will also equal mistakes or oversights. We can not give them any stronger praise than this, they have become a part of our family thanks to the exceptional love and care they give to every animal brought into their practice. read more

I moved to this area four years ago, and I have worked with the vets and staff at Dykes through the difficult illnesses and ultimate euthanasia of two geriatric beagles. I have never failed to be impressed with the kindness and professionalism of both the doctors and the staff. Now that we have a new kitten who is growing into a healthy cat, will continue to count on Dykes for our pet care. read more
