Our 17 year old cat Lilly had been diagnosed with cancer a year and a half ago. She was doing OK…read moreuntil four or five months ago when she started to decline more rapidly. We took her to the vet again who told us that Lilly had a tumor near her bladder. In the last couple weeks she declined even more and was not eating or drinking very much and had vomited bile a couple times. We took her to the vet again who said she was dehydrated and recommended that we bring her to AEC for treatment. When we got to AEC, they developed a treatment plan for IV fluids and the first step was bloodwork. We were hopeful that Lilly would improve with IV fluids and we would be able to take her home. Sadly, the bloodwork showed that IV fluids were not a viable path given Lilly's condition and that there were no other treatment options. We wanted to take her home, but the doctor advised against that because it would prolong Lilly's suffering. At the doctor's recommendation, we made the excruciating decision to put Lilly down. Although this experience was devastating and traumatizing for us, we can't say enough good things about AEC, from the front desk staff to the vet techs to the doctor. Everyone was so sincerely compassionate and caring and empathetic. Dr. Brink, was outstanding. She gave a detailed explanation of Lilly's condition and the blood test results. We were very impressed by her clinical knowledge and expertise and are very grateful that Lilly was in her care. We appreciated her genuine compassion. About a week after we were there, we received a lovely card signed by each staff member with individual personal notes expressing sympathy for the loss of Lilly. We are so touched by this gesture and have the card displayed on a shelf in our living room with other keepsake items and pictures of Lilly. We strongly recommend AEC if your pet needs care. Even though we lost Lilly, we do take comfort in knowing that we brought her to a place where she was cared for as well as possible in the last hours of her life by such an excellent team.

Sarah was so kind and friendly, she went above and beyond to check in with us, walk us back to the room, go over all information on what the appointment would look like, explain every and all process so we knew what to expect next, walk us out, and take GREAT care of our dog. It was our first time at OVRS so she made sure any and all questions were answered! Some even before we even had to ask! Dr. Sauerbrey was so incredibly kind, professional, and took her time explaining all of our options, giving her recommendations, but making sure at the end of the day our dog would have the best chances and best treatment possible. She was kind, empathetic, and so easy to work with. She answered all questions happily and was a joy to meet and work with.

I called six…read moredifferent places near us and none of them could help (not their fault I know) They can only help so many at once. I was referred to Dixie Vets and called and they told us to come right away. When we arrived the inside was clean and smelled wonderful. They offered us water and coffee multiple times also which was very nice. All of this is extra and nothing they have to do, but still do it. That tells me a lot about them. The receptionist was excellent and you could feel that she cared. She actually got up and walked to our room. I have never had a receptionist do that. The veterinarian technician came in shortly after and she was also amazing. Once again you could feel that she cared about our cat. I actually thought she was the veterinarian. She was really nice and comforting. The veterinarian came in after and (I know I keep repeating myself, but this is a good thing) She was amazing. She was very gentle and compassionate with our cat. She was upfront with the cost and gave us a couple choices. I can normally read people very well and it is easy to see if someone is genuine or not. They were all truly genuine. It is doctors like her and people like the receptionist and vet tech that can help or hurt the reviews and if you are coming back or not. The old vet is about 8 minutes away and Dixie is about 30 minutes away. We will be coming back to Dixie without a second thought. I recommend anyone looking for help to go to Dixie Veterinary Hospital.

The next day I needed to get another X-Ray done to figure out the root of the problem and possible surgery. I called multiple different places that said they couldn't do anything on such short notice until Highland Veterinary Hospital! They were able to get him in right away for X-Rays and even performed surgery on my poor puppy the same day! Everyone is extremely nice, helpful and around great. They probably saved my boys life because if we had waited any longer for surgery there would have been more damage to his intestines and stomach. We will be using this location as his primary vet from now on.

I gave them a call and they said to bring her in right away. We got there and there were a few other emergencies they were dealing woth. I waited about a half hour and that was ok because Lola was in no major pain at that time. She was bleeding, but when your nail is ripped off, what do you expect? My one complaint was that they seemed almost too lax that Lola was getting blood all over. I was told not to worry that they would clean it up. We went back to the room, then vet came in right away and took and look, then shared the plan. They took her in back and 10 minutes later she came out woth her paw all cleaned and wrapped. I felt very happy with how clear the vet was in regards to the treatment and her care she was receiving. I could hear the staff in the back talking to her and comforting her as they gave care. They didn't try to get me to run extra tests or provide extra services so when it was time to checkout, the cost was half the price of the last time this happened and we took her to a different ER vet. It was such a relief as these times are tough. I was very happy with this place and will likely Make it our regular vet! Thank you!

Sure enough, when I got home from work last Friday, my baby wasn't eating, was lethargic, and had a temperature. Knowing pneumonia can get life-threatening really quick, I took him to the Emergency Service West. X-rays and bloodwork confirmed my amateur diagnosis. I was given the option to keep Reno there, or to send him home with antibiotics. Given that he was stable, and not struggling to breathe, the veterinarian counseled that recovery at home was a viable option. I am happy to report that the next day, Reno had returned to his old self. We are continuing the antibiotics, and will see his regular vet in a week, but I expect he will make a full recovery. Yes, Veterinary Emergency Service West was expensive. However, had I not taken him, it is very likely Reno would have gotten worse while I waited to see his regular vet, and then may have needed hospitalization. I am so happy they are there!

We called here desperately looking for someone to do a splenectomy on my small dog before time ran…read moreout but we had limited financial resources. This place quoted up an estimate of $4500-$6500 so we quickly rushed over there. The total ended up being around $7000 for the surgery but were advised not to do the surgery. They stated they were taking my dog back for vitals but put a cone on him and did many other things without our permission, caused him a lot of distress in his final moments (he pooped all over nervously which would have been better if we could be with him). The surgeon when telling us the sad news that we'd need to put him down wasn't just blunt or "telling us the worst case scenario," she was overdramatizing it and genuinely cruel with her wording. I understanding needing to tell someone that it really is the best option to put down your dog, but there is are better ways than to tell them that he's probably going to go into cardiac arrest (which is incredibly rare) and that he only had a 20% chance it wasn't cancerous (it's closer to 30%-35%). She spoke really fast and was very gruesome with details that weren't necessary to share. The other nurse was much more realistic and told us that he would probably be just fine through surgery but because it's most likely cancerous, it would most likely be his last few months and he would probably be in pain when he could find comfort today through eternal rest. Vet Katie, who arrived on shift later right before we put him down, was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She allowed us to take as much time as we needed and even went the extra mile and found us an ink pad and paper to get a paw print with (they had stopped doing that through there a while ago). She comforted us with her words and could understand our pain with the recent passing of her dog at home. I really appreciated her and I hope she knows the positive impact she had in that situation. The only reason why this place gets stars is for her. Rest well, my baby Jack I miss you everyday. He was my everything.
