I want you guys to see how these people left my dog. My 10 year old dog got breast cancer & my parents ended up taking her to get surgery on Thursday 4/14. They ended up bringing her back on Tuesday 4/19 because her stitches seemed like they opened & there was a FOUL smell plus pus. All the doctor said to do was "put hydrogen peroxide & animax ointment. Tell me who puts hydrogen peroxide on an open infected wound like this? It delays the process ! It's mind boggling to me they would even recommend such a thing & then say it's "NORMAL". Tell me how does this look normal ? And this is coming from other VETERINARIANS who I called for answers. And then not only that, they blamed US for this. They said it was OUR fault. We didn't operate on her YOU did. You guys even knew you left the stitches on too tight. My dog is wearing a collar & my mom is home all day to watch & take care of her. Coco doesn't even move much she just sleeps all day so tell me how could she do this to herself? And then you want to charge extra for a complication that YOU caused. Just money hungry. This wasn't my parents doing. It's your offices negligence ! My parents came in Tuesday & all you did was send them home. Shame on you. Terrible clinic. Terrible doctor. Terrible customer service. Terrible everything. Went to an emergency vet where I got charged $700 for your negligence. It will be a 3 month process to heal her. we're going to take action for this. Thankfully this vet is 1000x better than this one. Unbelievable. You wanted to give her another surgery even though she has NO TISSUE to even stitch. How does this even look right to you ? Disgusting.

AWFUL. Took my two year old toy poodle to get a full shave, once picked up we noticed the poor service. There was cuts on his body, bloody spots, and his hair was not cut right. Definitely last time we take him there. The Dr was not friendly, he came out to the front lobby and did not greet. Without a doubt, the dr was not giving good customer service.

They are the most affordable veterinary care,I've been a pet owner since 1994. I'm grateful to have found them. They are open 7 days a week. Vaccines are half priced on weekends. You need to book an appointment ahead of time for that.

See all

I began going to Randall Road Animal Hospital back in 2014 when I got my 7 month old lab, Jake…read more.. I regret every stepping foot into this place and putting my trust in them- I recently found out my dog has chronic pancreatitis after going to Bowes Animal Hospital because Randall Road was either closed since it was a Monday when I needed to bring my pet in or they were booked when I needed them most. I've had bloodwork done on Jake routinely when he became a senior- everytime Randall Road Animal Hospital would call me with the results, they would say his liapse is high, quit feeding him table scraps, tho we don't feed him table scraps.. and failed to do further testing to find out what was REALLY going on-I took him to Bowes Animal Hospital, repeated blood work as his liver enzymes were elevated- Bowes recommended further testing as his liapse was high and so was his liver enzymes, which indicates inflammation somewhere.. well, after five years of elevated blood work at Randall road, he was diagnosed tonight with chronic pancreatitis- Not only did we find out he has pancreatitis- he also has cancer. I was told by Randall Road a lump on his ankle was probably a fatty cyst- further testing was done once again at Bowes after Dr said that's not a fatty cyst- came back as soft tissue sarcoma- removal for this can't be done until pancreatitis is treated if it's able to be treated. Lastly, my dog also suffers from laryngeal paralysis- I took it upon myself to research meds to give him to calm him down as excitement causes laryngeal paralysis to get worse... medication Randall Road recommended for arthritis- liberala, found out after doing my OWN research doesn't interact well with dogs that have laryngeal paralysis, so I recommended he be switched. I am so disappointed and most of all let my pup down... please think twice before choosing this place to be your place to take your babies too- I put my trust into this place and was let down not once but three times and have a pup who suffered from it

The staff here is amazing and have gone above and beyond answering my questions when my one dog was experiencing stomach issues in his youth. This will be the only vet office i every use for my furry family members. Also after reading some of the other reviews i just want to say i have delt with the office manager Lisa many times and not only is she always a pleasure to speak with in my experience she is also extremely knowledgeable and sweet!

We have been with this hospital since 2019 and have had a variety of experiences but it all…read morecompletely depends on the vet that you are with. Every single appointment we have had with Dr. Gilham has been truly awful, she does not read our pets history, has misdiagnosed her, claimed she had visible cancer masses then immediately tested her (surprise, they weren't cancerous) and pushed medications that our dog was allergic to that she previously prescribed. However, the appointments we have had with Dr. Stone have been truly incredible. She will get on the floor with your dog and shower them with love and attention and takes all of your concerns into consideration. She is truly amazing and I adore the care she gives to our animals. Dr. Lexi Meverden is newer to us but has been truly amazing as well. I cannot say enough good things about her or Dr. Gilbertson.

They simply do not care about the pets and it's simply all about the $$ especially with the new…read morebuilding. Had two 12 MONTH scripts written JUST 3 months ago for my two furry animals for heartworm meds . Went to fill the heartworm medicine and Red Barn DECLINED BOTH simply because ONLY ONE of them was due for heartworm test next month????? Just had them in on Feb. 27th for wellness exams and shots. Brought TWO fecal samples. Why didn't they test then like every other vet? The answer is because this way they could force us in again and their prices have increased. I didn't even realize they weren't done. WHY DID I GET TWO 12 MTH. SCRIPTS FOR INTERCEPTOR if they weren't done??? Who the heck do they think they are canceling BOTH scripts when only one dog is due? Who does that? This office "manager" and front office girls could give a crap about the pets. What were they going to do I was going to bring my one dog in and then they suddenly would give me two prescriptions one for each dog or were they going to force me to bring both in? I wouldn't go back to this place if you paid me in 10 months from April 2023 to February 2024 I spent over $3,800 with them. They should get rid of these women who could give a darn about the pets and get vet techs for the front office like all the other vets do. They're cheaper, less freaking attitude, and they love animals. This so-called office manager didn't comply when I requested the doctor call me and I could think of quite a few different ways she could handle this so much better which would have stayed within the guidelines of Red Barn but most importantly would have kept my pets heartworm medicine!!!!!! FOLLOW UP NOW 5 DAYS LATER I just went on to take screenshots of my 12-month prescriptions and I see that they just issued one month for both dogs without calling me because they saw one of the reviews I left and this way they could write that they do care about the animals. What a joke!!! How the heck was I supposed to know the scripts were even there. They're just trying to cover their butts. Be careful if you go here honestly find a different vet there's so many good ones out there I simply went to them because they were conveniently close which was a big big mistake. The nickel dime you to death. Make sure when you bring in fecal samples they do something with them. Also, just talked to Covetrus and they were told that both of my dogs were due for heartworm testing which is a blatant lie.

My two tiny Maltese, Brinley and Baylin (only 3 and 4 pounds!), have always been treated with the utmost gentleness and care. Dr. Sonny is wonderful -- not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so warm and personable. He always remembers all our names, even though my girls look almost identical! Every doctor and staff member there is the same way: compassionate, kind, and truly dedicated. They've even called me on a Sunday with test results, which says everything about their commitment. If I could give more than five stars, I would -- Bowes Animal Hospital is simply the best. Thank you, Dr. Sonny and the entire team, for treating Brinley and Baylin like family and for always going above and beyond to keep them healthy and happy. Your kindness means more to me than you know.

On May 22, we came in for a pre-surgery consultation at this clinic, and the actual surgery took place on May 30. Naturally, I was very nervous about how my dog would handle anesthesia, especially since during his neutering (at a different clinic in Texas), he had a really rough time coming out of it -- disoriented and stumbling for almost a full day. But this time was completely different. I dropped him off in the morning and picked him up just four hours later -- and to my relief, he was already alert and doing much better than I expected. The staff was incredibly kind, gentle, and caring throughout the entire process. I want to give special thanks to Dr. Sunny Jain, who performed the surgery, and nurse Oksana, who kept me updated and even sent me photos of my dog as he was waking up from anesthesia. That level of care meant the world to me. Today, two weeks later, we came back to have the stitches removed. Oksana was just as professional and compassionate -- she cleaned the incision area, removed the sutures carefully, and gave me clear instructions on how to monitor and care for the wound. We've been bringing our pets to this hospital for years now, and once again, I'm extremely happy with the care we received. Highly recommend this place to any pet owner looking for a trusted, experienced, and kind team.
