We LOVE Holt! They are a caring practice who has taken care of our animals for years. Reasonably priced, knowledgeable staff and conveniently located. read more

Everything is always great The new clinic is so nice. Dr. Bratton has a customer for life.

Dr. Bratton was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly educational, offering helpful tips and treating our puppy with so much care. We left feeling safe, informed, and confident. After doing extensive research and visiting a few vets in the DFW area, I can confidently say Holt is the one I'd recommend. They truly go above and beyond and have amazing prices (they don't try to upsell you like most of the other places)! read more

Dr. Bratton and everyone at Holt is so incredible. They are so thorough and treat our dog, Beau, as if he was their own dog. We could not recommend them more. We recently took Beau in for an emergency situation & they were incredibly kind, calm, and took care of Beau so well. If you live in Dallas and have a pet, Holt is a must!!!! read more

We've been with Dr. Bratton and his team for years and absolutely love how thorough they are and the love and care they show our fur babies. Our little Mona loves coming so much that she cries until she gets love from one of the team members when we get here. read more

Holt Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I have 5 animals that I currently take to Holt. I love the concept of the place. It's both a walk in clinic, and you can make appointments on Saturdays. We just saw the newest vet, Dr. Watkins. She is very calm, knowledgeable and listens which is so important. We have a pretty anxious rescue pitbull, and even though I pre -medicated him, he still acted like a crazy man. I did not feel judged at all. Dr Bratton is excellent, patient, and I cannot say enough good things about him. I have seen him many times. Most recently I had a dog that was 17 and close to dying, and he was very sensitive to the situation. I love Dr. Kiefer and Caldwell too. Pablo, the vet tech is awesome! Overall, I strongly recommend this practice and I will continue to go back. read more

I have been taking my cat here ever since I adopted him nine months ago. I dropped him off for his routine shots that he has to get once a month. However, the last two times I took him, he pooped on himself. The techs handed me back my cat, both times, saying they wouldn't clean him. This last instance was particularly irritating due to the tech's attitude, so in an attempt to be succinct: - called my male cat a female (only bothers me is because clearly she didn't read my cat's file which detailed his aggressive nature) - told me "if I wanted to keep coming here" I should sedate him which I would if they would actually give me the medicine! But they always forget to give it to me, and complain about it later. This has happened three times now. -was trying to warn me about MY cat when I was about to clean his carrier myself since they refused to do it and surprise! I know my cat better than the tech I've never seen before, so he didn't attack me. Shocking. -told me "technically it's in the carrier so they can't do anything" when I told her that I needed to clean his carrier because I was leaving in a ride share. There were other snarky comments mixed in, but you get the point. So rude and unprofessional! I know my cat isn't the most calm, he was born in a cat colony and is still getting used to dealing with humans, but you're telling me you don't have any handling gloves at a VET??? He had just gotten his nails trimmed there too, so he wouldn't have been able to scratch them, and apparently they muzzled him as well, so I'm really not sure what the issue is here! Oh, and the last time they trimmed his nails, they didn't trim them all, but still charged me full price. Honestly, the only reason I'm giving this location three stars, is because our vet, Dr. Bratton, is amazing. He explains everything in detail, discusses treatment options, and is VERY considerate when it comes to my financial situation. It's a shame that some of the techs handling the pets don't have the same amount of consideration or care, or at the very least better bedside manner. I don't like to leave bad reviews, and I certainly don't like to be demanding or entitled to workers who are just trying to do their job, but I feel like it's justifiable for me to be upset, especially after I've had multiple bad experiences! If your pet does just fine at the vet, this place has you covered; but if your pet is less agreeable, this might not be the best place for you. read more

I cannot stress enough how amazing Dr. Bratton and the whole team at Holt Veterinary clinic are! I don't often even write reviews but it's the least I could do to thank them for their amazing work. We needed a vet certification form for our dog to move overseas and due to a mis-understanding on our part we didn't realize this had to be mailed to Austin and certified by the state. We were pushing it to the very last minute to get him checked and certified with only 2 business days until our flight which can typically take 5-7 business days to get done. Otherwise, we would have had to postpone multiple flights which could have cost thousands of dollars. It was a longshot but Dr. Bratton did everything in his power to help me out. He personally called the state office, walked me through the whole procedure, submitted everything online as fast as he could and followed up with emails about the urgency of the situation. He continued to follow up and by some miracle our application got approved the same night which he called and notified me of after hours and overnighted back the next morning! I literally cannot imagine any other veterinarian putting in this level of effort to help out a client. 5 stars is not enough, whenever we make it back to Dallas, they will be our vet for life!! read more

The entire staff was excellent. They made my experience so comfortable. They seemed to sincerely empathize with my situation. They were all so professional and personable. read more

I came here just a few days ago because I was concerned about a lump on my kitty's chin. They do walk-ins only during the week and when we got there were completely empty aside from someone already in a room. The place smelled of cleaning supplies, which was really rather nice, and looked spotless and well maintained. They were friendly and helpful, as well as matter-of-fact. Turns out my boy just had some acne under his chin that they were able to drain really easily and Kiyomi came back to us within five minutes with a full bill of health. (人*´｀)｡*ﾟ+ We were charged only for the visit (which was much, much, MUCH less than other places) and treated really sweetly on our way out. I definitely intend on going back! ( ‿ ) read more

Excellent care for the pups with a no frills attitude. Everything is clean and well maintained. After trying to make appointments around town (2 weeks or more out), what a relief it was to be able to walk-in and receive such phenomenal care. Holt was exactly what we were looking for when we moved here. Thank you for your wonderful service. read more

I've used Holt for both my dogs and cats. The staff is always friendly and professional, and the clinic is immaculate, with modern tech and a fresh remodel. Dr. Bratton is also so dedicated to his patients. He went above and beyond after I moved to another city, taking a video call with me to walk through how to give a foster puppy IV fluids. I cannot recommend the Holt team enough and wouldn't trust anyone more with my pets' care! read more

Hands down, Dr. Geoffrey Bratton is the best veterinarian in DFW. I've taken both my rescues to Dr. Bratton for the past 7years. Dr. Bratton is always thorough, kind, and caring. He explains every option thoroughly, if your fur baby requires a procedure. After a few years of mistakes and misdiagnosis' at City Vet Uptown. I'm confident Dr. Bratton's stem cell surgery and laser therapy gave my 11yr old Shepherd mix, 3 more years of life and my sweet boy thrived until his last few months. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Bratton and his staff. Most of them have been with him for years which says alot about him. I got my first rescue when he was 8weeks old and he lived to 2 weeks shy of his 13th bday. He was an 80# Shepherd mix with bad joints and hip dysplasia. He was neutered too young and I didn't know that can profoundly affect their bone formation. Anyhow, my puppy saw many vets throughout the Metroplex and Dr. Bratton is the absolute best. His thoroughness and genuine concern for your pet is unmatched in DFW. He is also an amazing surgeon. Everyone that I've referred to Dr. Bratton, absolutely loves him. I know you will love him too. read more

Holt Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Holt Vet is the BEST vet in dallas. I will never bring my animals anywhere else. I have been taking my 2 cats here for a year since I moved and they have been nothing but kind. I recently moved further away and found a stray kitten that was scared, flea ridden and a mess. (Momma was not around I waited for 3 days and there were no littermates) I took it in and wanted to take it to the vet for a checkup and to decide age/sex. I tried over a handful of places closer to me and was turned away or told they couldn't help me. One tried to sell my boyfriend a subscription to the clinic and when he declined they said he couldn't be helped. My boyfriend called Holt 30 minutes before they closed and they said they would help us. He showed up about less than 10 minutes before closing and I soon after. They were welcoming, extremely kind and did not rush us at all. The respect shown to their clients and the animals is unbeatable. They are worth the drive and every cent. (which is not much!! They are incredibly fair with pricing) read more

This review is very fresh for me, but I felt I had to write it. Recently, I took my very old dog in to be put down. The experience could not have been handled better at Holt. Through this terrible time, they reassured me and made me feel like my dog was in the best possible hands. The way they handle this sad process is comforting and made it bearable for me, and seemingly comfortable for my dog. My vet was Dr. Parker and she was amazing. She talked me through the process and was so good with my dog. Losing a dog is like losing a best friend for me, but Holt was the perfect place for him. It seems weird that is the best way I can thank them, but they are worth every 5-star review. read more

Friendly staff. Prompt service. The doctors always take time to explain everything to me and answer my questions. I feel that they genuinely care about Onyx. Great place all around read more

I truly cannot say enough nice things about Holt Vet. Everyone in the practice is friendly, kind and caring. I love having Iris greet me by name when I walk in. It makes me feel like me and my dog are valued patients and not just a number. Their vets and vet techs are great at putting my dog at ease. The practice went above and beyond during the pandemic to continue to provide vet services in a safe environment. read more

Efficient, courteous, caring, and honest. None of that "let's run every single test possible just to be safe while we hand you your four digit invoice" for routine procedures. Dr. Parker was refreshingly frank, professional, and cheerful. We had visited 4 of the top rated vet clinics in the downtown and uptown area, over the course of one year, and not one of them met expectations on skill and honesty, but were happy to charge us hundreds for unnecessary tests while providing ultra-paranoid diagnosis. Holt was the only place where we felt we got an honest opinion, and reasonable billing. Our 5 year old kitty Persian got her spay done, skillfully and quickly by Dr. Parker, and recovered well. read more

We always receive excellent care when we go to Holt Vet Clinic. Everyone is super attentive and friendly and informative. We are super grateful. read more

This is the SECOND experience with this Clinic and it will be my last: I was bringing my cat in for a first time visit. They didn't bother to tell me when I made the appointment that my cat would have to be "dropped off". When you arrive the front side of the door is full of "instructions". When I opened the door, the Receptionist yelled at me to "go back to your car and call". I told her it was his first visit and I wasn't going to just leave my cat in their care without my supervision as a first time client. The Receptionist and another woman came around the corner and once again told me to "leave and call". I told them "you can cancel the appointment". They should have explained that this would be protocol WHEN I booked the appointment. I left, placed my cat in the car and came back to tell them I didn't appreciate them yelling and being so inconsiderate and rude". Not only were they rude, they had an attitude with it! The first time we came in several months ago, we were bringing a dog that had been hit by a car to them 20 miles away, that had their information on the tag (we called ahead of time to let them know we were bring the dog in). When we arrived to run him in, they yelled us us to leave and call and they would come out. The dog had just been hit by a car!!! Once I realized this was the same vet when I pulled up, I figured they deserved a second chance. NEVER AGAIN! read more

I found Holt Vet right here on YELP. I was tired of the over-priced and poor customer service of Banfield. Holt doesn't take an appoiintments. I thought this might be a problem, but I was promised that they had a large staff to handle this. They did, and I was seen right away. The vet assistant was nice and talked to my two dogs in a caring manor. The vet came in quickly and was very personable. We discussed some possibilities of what could be wrong with my dog. She didn't go for high dollar treatments. She was very minful of the cost. The cost was significantly lower compared to other vets. read more

Great place. Fair prices and wonderful service. I'm in the healthcare field and have worked in the veterinary world before so I tend to be a nervous Nellie dropping off our fur babies at a new clinic. These folks are always nice, attentive and professional. Never pushy. They have taken care of our new puppies and helped us put to sleep older babies as well. We are never disappointed by their caring and loving demeanors - starting from reception all the way to the assistants and physicians. They are in walking distance of our home and have "walk-in" appointments which is an awesome perk. Grateful we have them as the primary care doctors for our canine kids. read more

The staff at Holt is caring and very thorough when caring for your pet. I always appreciate how they take the time to answer any questions you may have. Their social distancing practices are efficient. read more

My dog had been going to Holt for several years for her routine dental cleaning. This last time I picked her up I noticed something a little off. I was told to monitor her at home and report any significant changes. She has gasping for air when I picked her up and I was told this was a side effect of a new med they had administered and the anesthesia wearing off. Why this new med was given I don't know. I went home watched her and she started to decline. I called Dr. B. Sent him a video of her. He said "oh ya this isn't normal can you take her to an ER vet". Like no sweat off his back. I did take her to the ER. 2 hours later after being at the ER vet they told me she aspirated during surgery, 3 more hours later. I lost my dog. My love that I had,had since I was 16 she was 100% healthy. But she lacked the proper care and observation coming from this clinic. I later got her records, that showed an obvious malpractice, her RR was decreasing every 30 min after surgery with no one monitoring this. She went into respiratory failure because of the lack of this office monitoring her post op. I reached out to attorneys whom said I had a reliable case, but did I have the money for the courts etc none the less money aside, I don't care about the money I care about my dog that suffered, at the hands of a doc that failed to check up on his patient post op. Be it a dog or not. I promise you this was a human this would have never gone this far. read more

They saved my doggy's life! On Tuesday I was told by one vet that my puppy had Parvo, It seemed odd because all I went into was for questions in regards to his poop. I've only had them for three days. The other vet recommended that I start my dog in an isolation room and begin treating him with the idea that he may not make it and to prepare for the worse. I didn't believe that my dog had Parville so I went to a second vet which happened to be Holt veterinary clinic for another examination. The doctor was amazing and retested my pup and as a result the doggie results was negative for parvo. They even provided medication to help him adjust and informed me that it could've been stress and adjusting to the environment. My dog he is up and going and loves to play. I am beyond blessed to have stopped by holt, Dr.parker was amazing and Milo thanks her! read more

My parents and GRANDparents have taken their pets here for years and were always pleased with service and attention they received. So when i was old enough to have a pet i decided to go elsewhere to a vet with a more upscale appearance and address. YIPES, did i learn a very expensive lesson.Fancy digs=fancy prices, lots of tests and trials and errors at my expense! Needless to say we are back at Holts with our current pets. I can show up without an appointment about 750am (they open at 8) and usually be out in about 20 minutes. Attention is detailed and diagnosis always right on the money. if you have an afterhours emergency and are a regular patient their doctors will meet you at the clinic, not send you to one of the afterhours emergency rip off places. They are a back to basics clinic with fair prices and conservative practices. Further, they are a teaching facility so you will frequently have a student intern following the vet and learning about the practice so explainations are very detailed. read more

I love this place! Everyone's super nice and they have great doctors! They also do an amazing job with dog grooming! I definitely would recommend this vet! read more

Best vet clinic in Dallas. They are so gentle with my pet, it's obvious they love animals and are focused on what's best for my dog. I adopted my dog from them because they found him a home after being hit by a car and abandoned. He healed well after several reconstructive surgeries. They are in a new building, but their staff are all the same, which is a good thing. I've taken 2 dogs there over the years, and I've liked all of the doctors we've seen. We started with Dr. Baxter until he retired. Dr. Bratton is our usual vet now, but Dr. Parker has been really helpful, too, as well as Dr. Campbell. They were especially helpful when it came to making really difficult end of life decisions. I'll never go anywhere else! read more

We've taken our dogs here for over 15 years. All the vets are good, and the owner, Dr Bratton, was top of his class and is known by other area vets. While medical science is an imperfect art, they get it right more often than not, and provide far better "patient" interaction than a human hospital does. I always come away from a consult feeling that someone cares about my pet, that they are sincere in trying to find a solution to his/her issues, and that they are open to alternative medicine therapies as an adjunct to regular care. I see several comments about price - all veterinary care has become more expensive the last few years. I don't find their prices to be any higher than other vets in nicer neighborhoods. In any case, I'm more concerned with quality of care, than cost. read more

Awfully nice today. They have multiple docs so you aren't at the mercy of who is in surgery. No appointments needed which is nice during the week. They even cut her nails for free which cost me $25 at the nearby VCA read more

I have been going to Holt for almost 10 years now and everytime I go it's little more expensive and I feel like I'm getting ripped off. It seems things have started going downhill and the prices have been going up. Just because they built a new place doesn't mean the customers need to pay for it! I don't get the warm friendly feeling I used to get when I walk in the door. I am very disappointed and most likely will not be going there anymore. I have 4 dogs and have been a long time customer so you would think they wouldn't try to rip your head off everytime you walk through the door! read more

Personal and professional describes the Holt Clinic. We've been taking our pets there since 1991. Wonderful people and exceptional vets.

Excellent doctors and the best veterinary practice we have ever been to. We have now had three dogs as patients there. I also like the online prescription refills. I recommend them! read more

Disgusting!!! If I could give it a negative star review I would. Boarded our dog here, he came back with a bloody nose and an eye infection. It is VERY VERY dirty and reeks of urine. Office is in terrible shape. The techs are super sweet however. read more

Love Holt Vet. Dr Bratton and the entire team was amazing with my special needs, blind, diabetic dog Suelyn. They were fantastic with my grumpy, snappy dog Maxwell. I used other vets in the past and my dogs would whine and shake when we entered the lobby. At Holt they act normal and think they own the place. At Holt your babies receive not only the best of care but competent and compassionate care from not only the Vets but also from the Techs and staff - especially in making treatment decisions. Their new clinic is gorgeous and spotless. I recommend them to anyone who loves their dog or cat. read more

Very frustrated! I made an appointment via email for their grooming services - the only instructions I was told was to drop mydog off before 10:00 am. As soon I get there the front receptionist lady immediately was rude (no smile no generous greeting) and insisted that I needed to have my dog vaccinations updated and it was going to be additional $200. Prior to making the appointment I should have been informed of that. I've been there before and it was never an issue so I had no idea. I took off work to drop my dog off - such an inconvenience. I told her I would just take my dog some where else to be vaccinated at a less expensive price. Then another impolite employee chimed in advising me that "well no matter where you go your dog will have to be vaccinated". The entire situation could have been handled in kindness manner. I realize, there are laws and regulations for vaccinations but It would have been greatly appreciated to have been told in advance and not bombard with attitude. read more

All the ratings below are from years ago. Holt now has a new clinic building at the same location, which is very nice inside. I have been going to this vet for years. I have never had a problem. They all are wonderful vets, and all readily answer any questions or concerns. My cat recently had surgery and Dr. Bratton was excellent in giving me information what would be happening with the surgery and with follow up calls. Prices are reasonable. read more
