I brought my 13‑year‑old dog in for an exam. He has a heart murmur and early kidney disease, but he…read moreis stable on medication, eating well, and doing well for his age. I chose this clinic because it advertises a family‑owned, fear-free experience, exactly what I wanted for a senior dog. Unfortunately, our visit was the opposite of fear-free. The vet came into the room without having fully reviewed his cardiology report or medical records. Within minutes, she told me (very bluntly and without context) that his heart was failing and he might have "around 18 months." This was based solely on a single in‑office exam of a nervous, shaking senior dog. It was extremely distressing, especially because she delivered it in a matter‑of‑fact tone with no empathy or reassurance. The appointment also felt rushed. Her vet tech had mentioned she was leaving for vacation the next day and we were her last appointment of the day and the entire interaction reflected that urgency. Despite how visibly upset I was, the vet continued with worst‑case scenarios, including telling me that at some point I would have to choose between protecting his heart or his kidneys. She then told me she couldn't help us any further and referred us to MedVet in Dallas, framing it as if he needed specialist, end‑of‑life management. Hearing that, without a full review of his records and without any compassion, was devastating and completely unnecessary. After the appointment, I confirmed with his cardiologist and primary vet that her assessment did not match his actual condition or prognosis. The emotional impact of that visit was significant and avoidable with proper preparation and communication. I'm giving 2 stars only because the front desk staff was kind and the office is clean and modern. But based on our experience, I cannot recommend this clinic for senior pets or for anyone seeking a thoughtful, fear-free approach.

We have been coming to Paws for Reflection Ranch for therapeutic riding lessons since about 2013,…read moreand we can't say enough good things about the ranch. The riding instructors have always taken great care with my daughter and our family. Since my daughter is severely autistic and mostly non-verbal we have a lot of different needs, but they've worked hard to accommodate her and to help her gain more confidence and strength. I love seeing her riding the horses and trying to use words to give the horses directions. We've also enjoyed the special activities out on the ranch and the variety of animals they keep. Where else in town can you be greeted by a donkey and escorted into the barn by a pig? In addition, I feel like the people at Paws take care of me. Being the mom of a child with special needs comes with a special kind of stress, and for me, getting to talk to the horses and even help groom them is often just what I need. They've made us feel like family, and for that we are truly grateful.

I don't believe I have ever been to this area before. The counseling center itself is on the 2nd floor.

I am absolutely in love with this place and I am so glad that I decided to go here!

Sure they will take all your money and say they are competent in handling your loved one, but they don't take insurance and it will break your bank. They will not listen to family members who live with the person on a daily basis, so instead of getting insight into what is happening in their home life, they just say we got this. Thousands of dollars later, it became clear were not equipped with adequate counselors that would use their education to see that something is really wrong and be transparent that the patient needs more intensive treatment than they can provide. I even reached out to the director and was emphatically told she had every confidence in her counselor and the path she was taking. My daughter attempted suicide after she was told to listen to her gut and she went back to an abusive drug addicted ex.

As a volunteer, the staff treats you with respect and like you're a family member-after all, the program only survives on volunteers for classes to assist the instructor in each class. Ellie is the volunteer coordinator and she is so easy to talk to and makes it easy to communicate with her via text/email! She and everyone there make a point to thank you every time you come in too! Why do they need volunteers for class? Well, As many as 3 volunteers could surround and support a beginner or riders with more emotional or physical needs by holding them in the saddle, maybe just putting a hand on their leg so they know they are safe, etc.... While maybe 1 volunteer would be used for an experienced rider to simply lead the horse. I can't say enough about this place!

The staff are so patient and kind. The amount of care the animals receive is just indescribable. I'm not an animal woman at all and these horses were gentle, patient and so sweet.

I recommend taking your children for horse therapy and rehabilitation. If applicable to me I would be one of the first to sign up.
