This review is specifically for the wonderful front desk lady who took my call (I'm so sorry I didn't catch your name!). I called in a bit panicked because my cat had eaten a big piece of leek I had accidentally left in the sink after making soup. A quick Google search told me that leeks are highly toxic to cats, and I was expecting the worst. I immediately jumped on Yelp to find an emergency animal hospital and luckily, Highlands Animal Care was the first place that came up--and I'm so glad it did. The woman who answered the phone was incredibly kind, professional, and calm. She listened to my situation without judgment, put me on a brief hold to speak with not one, but two doctors who just happened to be there at the time, and then returned to let me know that the amount my cat ingested likely wasn't enough to be harmful. She reassured me without making me feel like I needed to rush in, pay for a consultation, or purchase unnecessary services. That level of honesty and care is so rare these days, and I am beyond grateful. Her helpfulness and compassion immediately earned my trust, and I will 100% be coming here for all my future pet care needs. Thank you again for your kindness--you truly made a difference for Aries(cat) and I that day!

Belikin had a great, first visit at 4 mths old. Thank you all for your kindness and caring of all of our babies.

I really like this place ... they're nice and sweet and probably honest. I appreciate how they tell you how expensive everything is going to be before to do the procedure

Unfortunately my cat broke his hind left tibia this past summer. It was an overwhelming situation. The staff at highlands animal care were so compassionate and helpful. They took really great care of him.

Very nice quiet exam and waiting area for nervous babies

I've been looking for a steady vet for a long time since my favorite vet retired. I swear we went to every vet near my area (downtown) and they either were terrible, or they would move! So I saw highlands on yelp and decided to bite the bullet and drive the 30-40 minutes based on all the good reviews. I'd say it was worth it. The staff is amazing. From the front desk to the assistants to the vets everyone is really competent and kind. My baby feels like the king of the world when he's there he told me)! The waiting room is fantastic. There are really nice private or private-ish places to sit so if you have a reactive dog at all it's literally no problem. Some of the rooms are set up like a living room so if your dog is nervous they will feel more comfy. My sweet baby angel was having a recurring UTI that I had been treating at an emergency clinic, with no success. Finally I see some progress at Horizon with different meds that they recommended. I'm also very pleased that they offer some holistic treatments and at home or even tele health visits. Totally worth the drive if you don't live close.

Although our reason for coming to Highlands Animal Care was heartbreaking as we had to put down our sweet old boy, Dougie, every aspect of the experience was gentle, empathetic, and caring. I've had to say goodbye to family pets many times in my life and I have never felt more cared for than this time. The staff at Highlands is so kind and empathetic, we never felt rushed or pressured to get through the process or as if we were inconveniencing a busy facility. The staff brought him a doggie snack tray to enjoy before the procedure and we were able to hold him in our arms and take our time saying goodbye. Dougie's last moments were full of love and care. We had our young kids with us and I was so worried the experience would be traumatizing but it was the furthest thing from. Our kids were able to say goodbye to their beloved boy while holding him in their laps and not once did they feel scared for him. They both commented on how peaceful and happy he seemed in his last moments. From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you to the entire staff at Highlands for being so gentle with us and bringing so much peace during such a difficult experience.

They are so kind, helpful, patient and the prices are fair. I don't feel nickel and dimed or rushed like I have in so many other vets. They have tele help partner available too which has helped me in times of emergency, when the vet was closed or in the middle of the night. I really appreciate having found this office for help with my babies. Thank you!

This is the only vet office I'll be taking my dog and future dogs to. All of the vets are very experienced and actually care about your dogs health. I feel like the staff really do their best to only charge you for exactly what you need. They have helped my 12 year old yorkie with her heart issues

Thor after surgery!

I am a vet assistant and receptionist (most recently with the Vets Mobile) so I have very high standards when it comes to pet care. This hospital is the only hospital in Vegas that I have felt comfortable taking my baby to. My Boxer had a mast cell tumor that needed removal. After seeing all the great reviews for this hospital, I made an appt for consultation. Their website is very easy to navigate and they have a client/patient portal that is super easy to use. I made an appt online through the portal after making an account. I was able to get an appt a day or two later. The hospital is beautiful and clean. Everyone I interacted with was professional, personable, and knowledgeable. Dr. Hussey and her tech were easy to talk to and we were quickly able to make a treatment plan. I appreciated they treated me like a colleague. The estimate for the mass removal was very reasonable and comparable to other clinics in Vegas. The exam notes and invoices are sent directly after visits and are accessible in the portal along with lab work and other diagnostic results. My pup's surgery was scheduled 3 weeks after the consult. On the day of surgery I received updates when he was going under and well as when he woke up. When I picked him up he was almost already back to his normal, wiggly self. Everyone took great care of him. This clinic does take Care Credit which is super helpful for those larger, unexpected pet bills. This clinic also provides mobile/in home pet care on certain days which would be tremendously helpful for pets that are difficult to take to the vet. I would recommend this clinic to all my former clients, friends, and family.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more I brought my puppy in because she was shaking her ears a lot and it seemed like something was irritating them. I also mentioned her coughing/gagging symptoms during the visit. The doctor we saw was Dr. Ledezma. We came in thinking it would be a simple ear cleaning, but she ended up being prescribed medication and additional ear treatment. After they put it on her at the clinic, her ears actually got worse and it looked like some irritation may have affected the skin on her ears, so I didn't even use it and had to take her to another vet for a different opinion and to have everything re-checked and cleaned again. For her other symptoms, I was told it was likely related to her recent spay surgery. Later on, another clinic immediately identified it as kennel cough just by examining her throat. I also want to mention she is a shelter puppy, which I did tell them. Knowing that, I would've expected kennel cough to at least be considered as a possibility, since it is very common in shelter dogs, but that wasn't brought up during the visit. During the exam, I also didn't feel very confident in the explanation given, and the overall visit felt unclear. Overall, I ended up spending close to $200 and still had to seek additional care elsewhere shortly after. I did reach out directly before leaving a review to try and resolve things first. They did offer a refund for the medication, which I appreciate, but that was the only adjustment offered. I was still asked to call in to complete the refund due to my overnight work schedule, and they only offered to refund the medication, not the ear-related charges (swab, cleaning, and exam), which made up most of the visit cost. For context, the breakdown was roughly: exam fee ($70), ear swab ($40+), ear cleaning ($40+), and medication ($40+). I've brought my other dog to this clinic before and had good experiences, which is why I initially chose to bring my puppy here. The vet assistants here was are always so nice I can say that. Having a new shelter puppy is already stressful, and this experience added unnecessary stress and additional vet visits that likely could have been avoided. I wish I had paid closer attention to the more mixed reviews beforehand. I'm sharing this just so other pet owners can make a more informed decision. I will not reach out again as this whole situation was just a lot and I gave them an opportunity to resolve this with a few emails back and forth.

It has taken me a long time to post this review (I actually wrote it over a year and a half ago),…read morebecause I still struggle with the emotional loss and the guilt of knowing I took our dogs to Cadence Animal Hospital and blindly trusted them with our pets. Almost two years later, I'm finally ready to share this. I want to start by saying that for the entire time my husband and I have had our two dogs (about 10 years since my husband's dog came home as a rescue and over 8 years since my dog came home as a tiny puppy) they had always been super healthy and showed absolutely no signs of illness, strange behaviors, severe disability or anything like that until March 27, 2024. March 27, 2024 was the day we picked our dogs up from a one-night boarding stay at Cadence Animal Hospital. We dropped them off on March 26 for vaccines, baths, and boarding with zero concerns. They had stayed there many times before without issue, so I didn't think anything of it. We picked them up the next day with two completely different dogs with alarmingly different states of mind and health. Our bigger, older dog came back with a severe limp and struggled a great deal more physically. Our smaller, younger dog (who was normally active, assertive, energetic, and fearless) came back acting like he was perpetually anxious and on edge. Both dogs had trouble eating immediately after that stay. At the time, we chalked it up to them recovering from their vaccines, and assumed our older dog was just getting older and maybe couldn't handle boarding as well anymore. But between March and May, both dogs continued to struggle. Though there was some small improvement, they were never the same as before that March 26-27 stay. Before that visit, both of them would excitedly gobble up their food in under a minute every single time. Our older dog's condition got so bad that my husband had to start carrying him outside to use the bathroom because he could no longer walk on his own. He began crying at random points during the day and throughout the night and was shaking constantly. When it reached that point, I scheduled an appointment at Cadence to figure out how to help him. It was heartbreaking to watch his health decline so rapidly. We still told ourselves it was just age, and that the boarding stay had simply been too much for him. I wish I had questioned our younger dog's changes more seriously at that time though. He had been a completely healthy, strong, energetic dog before any of this. Looking back, the odds of him changing that drastically overnight are really suspect. Because our older dog's condition had declined so severely, Cadence suggested euthanasia to end his suffering. At that point, it felt like the only option. We were devastated, but at over 100 years old in human years, we knew he had lived a long, good life. After our older dog passed, our younger dog continued showing strange behaviors and health concerns (not eating well, being anxious and panicky, etc.). There were days he seemed a little more like himself, but then he'd regress. I chalked most of it up to grief from losing his big brother Dominic. We had also just had a newborn, so we assumed all the changes in the household were hard on him too. Then we scheduled his bath at Cadence Animal Hospital on August 7, and I will always regret scheduling that final appointment he had with them. His health severely and drastically declined within less than 24 hours of that bath visit. The next day, August 8, he started acting extremely scared (hunching over, panting, clearly in distress). We were too scared to take him back to Cadence and were preparing to take him to a different vet. But when my husband went to check on him while I was with the baby, he found him lying dead on the floor. I am writing this in absolute disbelief and shock. Less than 24 hours before writing this, my 8-year-old dog passed away suddenly, after a sharp decline immediately following that single overnight stay at Cadence, a period of slight improvement at home, and then one final, severe decline after a single bath appointment at Cadence. Just a few months prior, our older dog had become severely disabled after that same overnight stay at Cadence and had to be put to sleep because his suffering was unbearable. This entire nightmare started roughly four months ago after a single boarding stay at Cadence Animal Hospital that ruined both of our dogs' lives. I'll never know exactly what happened to our dogs on March 26-27 at Cadence. Was it physical abuse? Severe neglect? A mistake with the vaccines? I'll sadly never know for sure. What I do know is that I will never easily trust a vet again, especially not Cadence Animal Hospital.

The website had wonderful suggestions on how to set your pet up in a relaxing area, how to handle the other pets maybe wanting to say goodbye, and what to expect throughout the process. I especially appreciated Dr. Olsen walking us through each step again when she was onsite. Sometimes it is difficult to remember what we read as we are actually in the process and focusing on our last minutes with our beloved. Dr. Olsen was near but not hovering so we didn't feel rushed at all; we controlled the pace at all times. She made in-the-minute suggestions that I'm so glad she asked since I know I would have regretted not doing so. For instance, she and I lovingly put my sweet dog into a basket after she left us and Dr. Olsen asked if I would like to carry her out. I balked at first but I'm so glad I did. It helped in my process of letting my darling go. Dr. Olsen had made the back of her SUV a loving tribute as I slid the basket into the back of the vehicle with a blanket for the basket to lay on and a beautiful sentiment nearby on an easel.

The recent one happened on 5/18/26. I took my 15yr. old Doxie in on 5/12 for a health panel and some bloodwork. Dr. Jessica Gunn was her Dr. and All her bloodwork was fine w/slight elevation on her renal values which I already knew. I have been putting her on renal support food & watching her diet. Also mentioned to Dr. Gunn that her breathing was faster or she seemed anxious. Dr. Gunn just said maybe she is just an anxious dog or excited at times so I didn't think nothing of it. The next few days my Doxie's breathing was more sporadic but she wasn't panting at all just her belly rising up and down faster. I decided to take her in on 5/17. Dr. Gunn suggested an X-ray, to put her in an oxygen chamber & to schedule an echo sonogram and leave her overnight. I paid a lil over $1100 for the overnight stay, X-ray and the procedures that she's done. She said she thinks it's CHF & enlarged heart. Xray results came back and the radiologist said she did NOT have an enlarged heart but Dr.Gunn insisted she did. I asked her if it was safe to take her in to the echocardio clinic instead because it was $400 less. She said yes it was safe to take her, so when they handed her to me after an overnight stay she looked lethargic, couldn't bring her head up, she was panting like crazy, her tongue was out and she on herself in the waiting room. She looked half dead! I yelled for help and said she looks worse than when I brought her in! They put her back in the oxygen chamber, Dr. Gunn passively said "Oh she just had a Syncope episode, she's in the O2 chamber now and she was just excited to see you. "She'd have to be monitored overnight again & asked to see if we can bring the echotech there then she can give her the correct meds once that happens. It was another $1030 so I reluctantly agreed but I wanted her to get the best care and get to the bottom of this! I asked to see my dog & Dr. Gunn seemed reluctant to bring me to the back & explained to me that they're doing surgeries where the O2 chamber is & I said i didn't care I just wanted to see her. She took me in the back where she was at, surgeries were being performed (it almost seemed like there was NO sterile field anywhere surgeries were performed & was just out in the open where staff was walking about). Got to the oxygen chamber and my dog was shaking & I asked if she's been fed or giving her fluids. She said not really eating or drinking. Not even an IV for hydration? I said what?!? So in my head she's probably also dehydrated & weak cos of No nutrition & No water. She responded that she didn't want to give her an IV and forget because she didn't want to over fluid her body due to her kidneys. So she's not getting any fluids or nutrients in her body! No wonder she's weak! Her condition was passed off as a "Syncope episode " instead of owning up to neglect and being so busy! It just seemed like she was covering her ass because she's been totally neglected with no nutrients or hydration! I then went home and waited 6hrs Dr.Gunn called me back and said the results said that she had a murmur, probable pulmonary hypertension with possible thromboembolic disease. No CHF which she thought it was. I asked if I should take her home and monitor her myself and she said No it's better that she stays there and staff watching her. I felt cornered and just trusted her. Reluctantly I said ok. Dr. Gunn called me at 7:11am the next morning and said she died about 1030pm last night. I said "What?!? Why didn't you call me if she was in distress or felt like she was not gonna make it?!?" I literally was 3-5 mins away! I was in shock because she seemed unworried the day before. I also asked if they tried CPR at that time? She calmly said "No that wasn't really an option considering her condition. " What? So she was left there to die ? And you call me 9 hours later to tell me she's dead! What protocol is that?!? I'm paying $1000 a night w/no attempts to save her? She said I did everything I could (to make me feel better) . Of course I did! I spent over $2000 in hopes that she had the best care under her. The question is Did she do everything she could?!? The answer is NO! My regret is Not taking her home knowing that everything she did wasn't working! Mochiko is her name and she died in a cold kennel with strangers around her instead of me trying to bring her home to give her the care she wasn't getting there and if All fails then at least she'd die in my arms in comfort and I'd be the last thing she'd see. I Regret not taking her home alive especially knowing that they weren't giving her the right care! I'm so sad that the care and approach Mochiko had was just passive and not approached seriously with common sense! I'll never take any pet there again! What a nightmare my dog went through and now what I'm going through!

We rushed him in when he ate some of his bone and looked like he wasn't properly breathing. He got extremely lethargic, started shaking and worried us enough to scoop him up and put him in the car at 10pm to bring him here. As soon as we walked in the staff welcomed us at the door and buzzed us in. They took his vitals right away and looked at his gums which were still pink so that was all good signs they said. His temperature was good, too. We then were asked to wait on the couch with him till the doctor could come talk with us. As we were sitting there, another poor doggie was rushed in with an emergency more important for sure so the vet was focused on him. Which was totally fine! As we were sitting there, Eddie stopped shaking and seemed like he was getting better, thank god. The vet did eventually come over to us and she was so nice. Dr. Kat. She explained that she felt like he seemed pretty normal and that sometimes that can happen and we did the right thing bringing him in and if it happens again we can bring him in again. She told us there was no charge for the visit, which was SO kind. We definitely were expecting to pay something for them checking him, but she said we were good to go. It was so kind of her. Definitely a five star experience. Every single staff member was so nice and just seeing them interact with the other doggie patients, you can tell everyone here really cares and loves what they do, helping animals.

I will absolutely recommend this practice to friends and family. Thank you so much for saving my baby's life!

Animal Emergency Center - Very sweet sympathy card that means even more they took the time to hand write a personalized message.

The only Emergency Vet I'll ever go to!!!…read more Dr. O'Dea was truly amazing. On Tuesday, March 24th into the 25th My poor dog gave me the scare of my life after thinking he ate a bandage from his leg. Within minutes of calling, I arrived in the office with my Sunny, and Carmen at the front desk took my baby to the back and induced vomiting within minutes, as time was of the essence. Fortunately, there was no bandage as I did discover the bandage the next day on our morning walk... I guess it slipped off and I didn't notice. However, the care and prompt actions of the staff at Animal Emergency Center was phenomenal!! I was absolutely blown away with the care and compassion of everyone that I'll never go anywhere else in Las Vegas for any emergency care. Also, besides Carmen and Dr. O'Dea, there was another staff member there who took care of Sunny and I, but her name slipped my mind. You are all so very fantastic and I can't thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart and the pad of Sunny's paw. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!! Also, DO NOT GO TO VETERINARY EMERGENCY and CRITICAL CARE ON TROPICANA!!!! THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND THEIR STAFF IS RUDE!!! THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR ANIMALS!!! (they left us sitting in a room for 2 hours as the said our emergency wasn't an emergency knowing time was of the essence with our situation)

We showed up here on a Saturday evening as our cat was not feeling well and our normal vet was…read morealready closed. While the staff is super nice, and the hospital is clean...if you come here after hours prepare to break out your wallet. They wanted to charge us SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR AN X-RAY!!! $600 for an X-RAY?! Our normal vet clinic charges less than $100 for an X-ray...our charge to treat our cat was $427 dollars, that we would normally have paid probably $250 or less...
