Garland Animal Clinic

"Today my chihuahua Maddie took a turn for the worse due to heart failure, and I brought her in on an emergency on a Saturday. They got me right in, which was amazing. When it was decided my sweet girl needed to be put down, they handled the situation with kindness and empathy. This was the hardest day of my life by far, and I wasn’t rushed or pushed in any direction when making it. Thank you to the staff and our wonderful dr, Dr Cobb I believe, for how we were treated today. This vet clinic handles end of life issues with so much grace."

"TLDR; Usually their great, and the veterinarians are always awesome, but the current vet techs SUCK !!!!!!! I'm giving them 3 stars because overall, we've received great care, and the Dr's are AMAZING!!!!! They have done tumor removal, They helped when she was sick another time. And I truly appreciate it! BUT, my last experience wasn't so hot....... It's actually taking me a few days to write this review because I need to process and I don't want to let my grief and my anger cloud it. Idk what happened, but if you don't have to leave your animal unattended, DON'T! I took my 10+ year old Amstaff in for X-rays on Monday. We've been here before without issue. We took her in on a gurney (at their suggestion)as she couldn't/wouldn't put weight on her front leg. When I picked her up, I SPECIFICALLY asked for them to bring her out on a stretcher (like they brought her in, 75+ lbs) When they brought my dog out of the side door, she was NOT on a stretcher, she was being PULLED, with her back legs held off the ground and ALL of her weight on her front legs, by two vet techs! My husband ran over and picked her up, both of us too furious to speak, and they giggled and said something like "well she was walking" She got progressively and exponentially worse that night and had to be put down the next day. I did address this with the Dr. over the phone the next morning, but after hearing that she had no arthritis and seeing them pulling her with complete disregard for her injury/reason for the visit, I ABSOLUTELY believe that those techs actions towards my dog hastened her demise. Otherwise, I've always received great care from them. The veterinarians are communicative, they explain things so you can understand them, she gave clear instructions, and she also gave us all of our options, the possibilities, and the ballpark cost of each and I also appreciated that she was also concerned with my dogs advanced age and quality of life. Everyone is always polite and friendly. It's a pleasant atmosphere (for that kind of place) My girl was already old and sick, we knew it was probably about that time, but I truly believe that them forcing her to put weight on her leg made it worse. Maybe by a month, maybe only a day, but they made it worse. Maybe it was a mistake with terrible consequences (for me and my family at least) , I highly doubt that they did it out of malice, but that doesn't bring my dog back."

"I am so thankful for ALL of the staff at Garland Animal Clinic! They took and still are taking amazing care of my kitten. Helping me get my kitty the surgery he desperately needed. If you want your pet who is like family to you to be in good hands when it comes to their health I would highly recommend Garland Animal Clinic! Mr. Maximus is healing up great for the surgery and is wanting to get back to his playful self again thanks to the amazing staff here!"

"I have a lot of creatures and I take them all to the Garland Animal Clinic. They have always been friendly and very helpful. My most recent visit was to get my 6 month old puppy fixed. With the staff and doctors there I know that my pup and all of my babies are in good hands. So I don't worry about them. They explain everything to me so I can understand. I won't go anywhere else. They treat all kinds of animals."
