Dermatology for Animals Goodyear

"My dog has an autoimmune disease…. I’ve tried everything from antibiotics, flea and tick meds, shampoos, changed her diet, allergy medication…. I arrive at my appointment to them asking me her whole history and what meds she was already prescribed… I asked them didn’t you call the vet office # I gave you for the history? They proceed to tell me it was my vets office who hadn’t sent it over (which they definitely did). Then the DR tells me she wants to start her on a prescription food diet which was going to be expensive. I told her no because I had already changed her diet at home cooking her meals. It hasn’t worked the only thing that worked was the steroids. So she changed the meds to two different strains of cyclosporine. Costco only has 1 in stock and I went to CVS to fill the other. CVS isn’t too knowledgeable when it comes to filling dog prescriptions. (I scheduled a biopsy with her general vet) Went back to original vet because my dog scratched off a whole patch of fur off her ear. Vet told me that she’s certain that it’s autoimmune. Definitely not allergy related from it being directly on her snout and not just the ears. I was told by this office to give her frequent baths, and they were pretty sure it was allergy related. Not to mention I paid $310 just for her to see this specialist! I was told that my dog needed training and that it was “bad”. I assured them it’s because she in pain and isn’t usually like this. They proceeded to tell me that dog training was 90% owner and 10% for the actual dog."

"I highly recommend Dermatology for Animals. I was very nervous bringing my dog here as she can be very reactive and protective of me. I have a good routine with my normal vet that allows us to avoid her triggers, but seeing a specialist and going to a new clinic was stressful. I explained my dog's special needs when I first made the appointment and not only did they take great notes, they shared the notes with all of the staff that was working at the time my dog arrived to ensure everyone was on the same page. The entire team was incredibly warm and accommodating. The vet was very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns and tailor a treatment plan that will work for our unique situation. I strongly recommend Dermatology For Animals in Goodyear."

"Being in a customer focused industry myself I have a high standard for others, and when someone exceeds that, it’s notable! The Vet was very friendly, and provided multiple causes to the issue our Dog was dealing with. She was clear and set proper expectations for potential outcomes. Within a few days our dog, Tank is already seeing a drastic improvement with his health after dealing with a chronic ear infection for the year. After having several other vets and after spending a couple thousand dollars trying to mitigate the issue, this feels like we are finally turning a corner!"

"Dr. Lockwood and her entire staff are amazing! I’m so glad that we found this practice for my dog’s allergies and skin growths. They have advanced options that our regular vet doesn’t offer which made the growth removals non traumatic and healing process easy. Dr. Lockwood is so knowledgeable and a great vet. The technicians are so sweet and good with my pup. The front desk girls are always so kind and helpful as well! I will always recommend this practice to anyone who has a pet who has skin or allergies"

"My general veterinarian referred me to try this place after a year of my dog having skin issues. From the moment I called, I could tell this place would have a very friendly atmosphere. While there, I felt that the staff were genuinely interested in what I had to say about my concerns. The veterinarian was also extremely thorough and knowledgeable during her exam of my dog. My dog has been on their recommended treatment for a little over a week now, and he has been doing so much better. I’m incredibly thankful to the staff for their support and help treating my dog."
