    I received a call today from Liz who is the receptionist at Zippivet and she was just following up on Bruno to see how he was doing. I did tell her my concerns and frustration with the bill. She transferred me to Jen who is the manager. I explained that I was not quoted for an ear cleaning and I was told it was a demonstration of how to use the product that they had just sold me. Jen was very thorough. She explained the method to their madness and she also confirmed that I should have been told that they were doing an ear cleaning so she did refund me for the ear cleaning. After speaking to the manager I feel like they are reasonable and will hear your concerns and make adjustments as they see fit. I learned a lot today and I appreciate the service that was provided. I'll give them another opportunity to win my business. I think it was just a misunderstanding and I'm happy to know that it was resolved with little effort.

    I first took our Poodle to ZippiVet earlier this year when her ears got infected. The vet we'd been going to for 2.5 years wouldn't "fit her in". At ZippiVet all of the staff were so friendly with her and I, and one of the vet techs even volunteered extra care by doing some specialty poodle ear-care for me! They followed up afterwards to be sure she got better! Then last month our cat accidentally got outside and was attacked by feral cats, he was in really rough shape! ZippiVets staff took wonderful care of him in a series of 8 visits over 2 weeks. They knew him by name, made followup calls after his visits to check on his progress or continuing needs. We are SO happy with our pets care at ZippiVet! Definitely do recommend them! This picture was taken last night, you can see kitty is happy and healthy again

    I will forever be so grateful for the kind and loving souls at Zippivet Kyle! We had a previous vet my family went to for years. Every decision with our pets we were judged, scolded, and had a very traumatic experience there. They told me my dog was a bad dog. They said he was aggressive and needed a muzzle. We had never seen ANY negative behavior from him. They never let us in the office. I was TERRIFIED of vet offices. I felt like me and my dogs were not safe in vet care. Then... I tried Zippivet. They allow us to come in with our dogs. They remember our dogs and seem to truly love and care for them. They are always willing to work with us financial wise and find the cheapest treatment. My husky LOVES this office. He's so happy here and loves giving all the employees hugs and kisses and they are all so sweet and take awesome care of him. He didn't even notice any of the vaccines they gave him!! He is his usual calm, playful self here. They have helped our picky underweight dog become a healthy strong boy. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. I zippivet and so does Drax the destroyer . If you are in the area and have pets I 10000000% recommend you trust these amazing people with your animals. They are in good hands here. Every employee is smiling and seems to truly love their job and all the animals. Also I'm very confused about the negative reviews, they do give quotes prior to appointments upon request and we have been struggling financially and they always help us out with that side of things.

    After being turned away by three vet offices for not accepting walk-ins, ZippiVet quickly and compassionately took care of our cat who had blood in her urine. A HUGE shout out to the mvp of that office, Camille! From the minute I called their office until my husband and I walked out with our cat, Camille was kind, knowledgeable, understanding, and modeled the kind of customer service every other clinic we went to severely lacked. She even called me right before the office closed to check on how our cat was doing and to see if any questions or concerns had come up for us since we last talked. Above and beyond!!! The vet we saw, Dr. Eliot, was great and handled our sassy ball of fur with expertise. Thank you ZippiVet in Kyle and THANK YOU Camille!

    Ok, in all fairness I'm not a vet expert. I don't know what happens behind the scenes, what a…read moremedical exam costs, etc. A lot of time reviews are ignorant of the basics, then the establishment is unfairly put on blast for just covering their costs plus a little profit. So, I'll try to quantify my review as objectively as possible. I asked my friend kids that are both vet techs about where to go. Both of her girls said "don't go to Kyle, they're expensive". I thought "bah... it can't be that bad". More on that later. I called Firehouse to bring my cat in as he ate my medical bracelet & recently got fleas. They got me in within two days. Parking is easy and the place is extremely clean. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable while taking some basic info. Taking my cat to one of the rooms, he was attended to quickly and the assistant and Vet were typical pet lovers; showing affection for my animal and wanting to understanding the issue. I really appreciated the attention to detail. They did a thorough exam and also said he didn't need an X-ray since he had been eating and going to the bathroom, so a penny pinched there. They even applied the first round of flea drips to my cats neck. Now comes to cost. For a 6 month supply of flea ointment and the exam was $300. I was thinking that was pretty darn high for 10 mins of petting my beautiful cat! What was more interesting as when I got to the front to check out, I was offered a "free" bottle of wine (red or white for those interested). Being a bit of a wine connoisseur I asked if they could knock of $40 and keep the wine. They said, no it's just a gift for first time visits. So, in summary from my brief and ignorant visit, Firehouse is a caring, clean, and knowledge veterinarian clinic who will attend to your pet quickly. I can't speak on boarding animals, surgeries, etc but I can say the price is a little high for the most basic of services. Would I recommend them? Yes if you have the money however perhaps look else where if costs are a factor.

    Disappointed by the constant upselling and pressure... this place is an expensive money grab…read more unfortunately, our experiences have become increasingly frustrating. Almost every time we come in, we leave feeling pressured into additional tests, medications, procedures, or services we did not originally come in for. It increasingly feels more like a sales process than a veterinary experience focused on our pets' needs. We are routinely presented with one thing after another, and the way these recommendations are communicated can make you feel guilty or irresponsible for questioning whether everything is actually necessary. Almost every visit ends up costing hundreds more than we anticipated. We also seem to have a different doctor almost every time, making it difficult to have any continuity of care. We were even told we needed to see a pet nutritionist if we planned to feed our dogs anything other than kibble after I explained that we feed them a raw food diet. Recently, We originally came in because we wanted our dog's teeth cleaned and his nails trimmed. They had a "deal" going on, but once you discuss all of the required steps and additional charges, it hardly feels like a deal. In fact, the total would have cost us more than what I had been quoted by other facilities. We were told blood work was required beforehand, so we came in for that. They were unable to complete what we needed because our dog would not cooperate without sedation. We were told to go home, give him multiple medications to make him loopy, and bring him back to try again--while being charged for the medications and that visit. I specifically explained that we had already tried this approach before and it had not worked. I asked why we couldn't simply proceed with sedation since we already knew the medication protocol wasn't effective for him. I was told it was "protocol," so we followed their instructions. We went home, gave him the medications, brought him back--and, exactly as I expected, it didn't work. This had actually been attempted before as well, and we were charged for the "attempt" plus another visit fee. We were then told to try an even higher dose and additional medications and come back again. At that point, I declined. I wasn't willing to spend my entire week making repeated trips to the vet, especially when I had already told them this approach didn't work, while continuing to accumulate more fees. Eventually, they agreed to sedation so they could complete the blood work and nail trim. Then came the blood work. I received a very lengthy email explaining everything they found "alarming" and recommending additional testing and next steps. There was no cost estimate for the recommended testing, and the actual blood work results weren't even attached. I had to specifically request them, and even then I had to follow up days later before finally receiving my own dog's results. For an establishment that is so persistent about getting you to do more and calling repeatedly, they certainly weren't in much of a hurry to send me something I had specifically requested--my dog's medical records. I ultimately shared the blood work with several veterinarian friends for another perspective. They were not particularly concerned by the results and felt the recommendations being made were much more aggressive than what they would have recommended based on the results. They also felt there were other steps that could be taken before proceeding with the more extreme recommendations being suggested. That experience unfortunately confirmed something I have felt for a long time: I no longer feel confident that recommendations are being made with my pet's best interest as the primary consideration. I constantly feel pressured to do more, test more, medicate more--and ultimately spend more. The communication during this visit was also excessive. The doctor called me back-to-back-to-back when I didn't answer the first call. I understand wanting to reach a client, but repeatedly calling someone who simply isn't available felt excessive and unprofessional. On our first day meeting this doctor, he immediately walked in and said, "Hi, I know you denied XYZ vaccines today. I want to educate you," and proceeded to explain why I needed to do them. I had to explain that we were there for something else and that those were things we could address in a couple of months. Again, it felt like the focus was on adding services rather than simply addressing why we were there. I don't have an issue with a veterinarian recommending additional testing when it is genuinely warranted. What I have an issue with is feeling pressured into a growing list of services and made to feel irresponsible for questioning them. As a pet owner, I should be able to ask questions, understand why something is being recommended, know what it will cost, and receive my pet's results without having to repeatedly ask for them.

But, I do tell people not to come to this office, and it's only fair I note why. I brought my dog in for chronic diarrhea. They gave me medication for him and did not test him further, even though he was an older dog. In the few months following, he was still getting bouts of diarrhea. I brought him in on a Friday afternoon. They took SIX x-rays of my dog. They told me that they could see some mild swelling, but weren't sure what it was. They told me I would need to book with their specialist on Monday. That evening, they called me and let me know that they were PRETTY sure my dog did not have cancer and that he would be okay to wait out Monday's appointment. The next day, my dog is acting strange but with reassurance from the vet-- I didn't trust my gut. That night, be projectile diarrheas blood all over the balcony. I rush him to an emergency vet. I get told my dog is riddled with cancer and that they're doing everything they can to keep him comfortable. They tell me I will have to learn how to IV him for his comfort. But, they soon realize that the masses on his kidneys had ruptured and the fluid had reached his lungs. $7k later, I lost my soul dog. I can't help but think that if Republic was more urgent or recommended me to go to an emergency vet Friday afternoon, I would've been able to have at least a few more months with him. For this, I can never forgive this practice or recommend them to anyone.

Such is our affection that our friends jokingly suggest they'd prefer to return in their next life as one of our cherished dogs. Recently, we felt the profound pain of losing our beloved den mother 12-year-old Husky. Seeking to fill a void we found a young husky listed on the PAWS website. What happened at PAWS will forever live on as one of the most cruel, confusing experiences of our lives and we worked and lived in Hollywood. We were judged and convicted for being abusive dog owners due to bringing our flight risk, escape artist, three-year-old German shepard, husky mix into their facility wearing training collars. The PAWS representative disregarded our decades of experience and hastily deemed us unsuitable for the adoption. With the passing of our elder husky our three-year-old female is in a state of despair. A puppy at PAWS appeared to be a perfect fit, however they required us to bring our old crippled dog along with the three-year-old. It was 109 in the shade and putting him in a vehicle was not exactly humane, however if this was their policy, so be it. I co-founded the Bill Hicks Foundation for Wildlife Rescue in Austin and on our ranch we feed hundreds of animals, but never hunt. From the snow-covered mountains of California -Colorado and back to our Texas ranch we travel extensively with our pack of snow dogs. One time I was taking our large malamute to the Vet in Studio city, she broke her collar and I chased her almost a mile through fast on-coming traffic. Long story short - I have learned with experience that when transporting dogs that fear strangers, vet offices & La Quinta lobbies, I do everything in my power to make sure my babies don't get hit by a car. When I first arrived at PAWS, I brought my crippled dog in and placed him in a room. I wasn't sure who was in charge or what the agenda was, but we had been promised a private space for my dog to acclimate before the initial puppy meeting. The foster mom for the puppy asked if I wanted to see him. I walked into another room and played with him. Then the PAWS "animal expert" entered the room. Visibly annoyed she said - "Whoa! What is happening? This is not how we do things! I'm so confused" She grabbed the leash. Next my wife brought our scared to death three-year-old into the lobby with people coming & going. The puppy stuck his nose up her crotch as to be expected. Everyone including the foster mom thought the encounter was great. The PAWS expert said "nope - your dog growled this isn't going to work" I thought she was kidding. She was not. She said "the puppy wants to play, but your dog doesn't" I said "my dog is scared to death" Visibly trembling the woman proceeded to lecture me as if I was 5 years old about how using corrective collars has made my dog fearful. I have had my three-year-old since she was eight weeks, she is my shadow, sleeps in our bed, we are inseparable. She lives care free on a ranch with deer, horses, cows and other dogs. As a last-ditch effort, I took the collars off and suggested we walk the 109 parking lot to get my dog away from the confusion. When we went outside my dog attempted to back out of the collar and I was forced to grab her before she ran into traffic. Instead of admitting she misjudged the situation she said "WE ARE DONE" and stormed into the building. After carrying my crippled dog who was now sitting in his own filth and served no purpose by being there back to the car, I pleaded with her. She said "my decision is final, but your welcome to come back and try again" Next day we adopted a young Husky from another shelter, who ironically growled at my 3-year-old during the initial meeting. Back at our ranch they played until passing out, sleeping side by side. At the end of the day, my wife and I hope & pray that the PAWS puppy will find a great forever home and his life can be a wonderful love filled adventure.
