Burkburnett Animal Hospital

"Doc Brown and his team have always been top notch no matter if it's a small animal or large one. His services are tried and true and he has been the Dr for me and my families pets for over 20 years. He has never steered us wrong and knock on wood he never will. Thank you for all your help and dedication to families and their animals."

"Dr Brown has taken care of my 16 year old dogs since they were puppies. Sadly we had to put one to sleep recently. Dr Brown and his staff was empathetic with my husband and I as we loved on our sweet Waylon Jennings McGill in his last moments. I hope Waylon heard us because he was in the middle of a violent seizure. When his ashes came back they were in a beautiful wooden box with his name plate on top. Thank you Dr Brown & staff for being there with us during this unexpected traumatic death."

"This will likely be a longer review, but it’s worth reading for anyone in the area looking for a vet! I’m not from this area. A couple days ago I was driving with my husky mix, Maverick, from the Dallas area up to Idaho. By the time we got to Iowa Park around 5:45 pm, Maverick had started having some concerning symptoms—primarily very rapid breathing (8 breaths/second or so) and dry heaving/gagging with nothing coming up. I’ve only been a dog owner for a bit over a year and the dry heaving in particular was of concern to me. I pulled over at a rest stop and frantically googled vets in the area. Of course, with it being about 6 pm, pretty much everything was closed. I did come across this facility and noticed that google didn’t explicitly say it was closed, so I called the number listed on google with the hopes I could stop by and get Maverick checked out. The vet who answered the phone (the owner, whose name I forgot in my panic and rush—I apologize!) let me know they were actually closed and that I’d called the emergency number. That being said, he still took a significant amount of his own personal time, after work hours, to understand my situation and work through what the cause could be. He was aware I was from out of town and would not be back. He understood he wasn’t going to earn a single penny from helping Maverick. But out of the kindness of his heart—and his clear love for what he does—he spent 15 or 20 minutes on the phone with a complete stranger to help an animal in need. If I were anywhere near Burkburnett on a regular basis, this would absolutely be my go-to. I highly recommend!! And, for anyone wondering, Maverick just had some particularly bad anxiety. I’d worried about it potentially being something more serious due to the dry heaving in particular (which I haven’t dealt with before when Maverick has had anxiety), but I gave him a Trazodone pill (prescribed by his regular vet) and he and I were quickly back to our minimally anxious selves! Thanks again to all the folks at Burkburnett Animal Hospital!!"

"Today has been a day. A Friday to be exact. My sweet 14 year old Westie has a sensitive tummy. So, when she threw up in the hallway on Wednesday night, I thought she had just gotten a bit pukey. Then this morning I woke up to very nasty poo in the hallway. She wouldn't get up. Couldn't stand, couldn't walk. She was panting and shaking and I was scared. I called my vet (PETS clinic) and they couldn't get her in. Said I would have to bring her to the after hours clinic which would cost $125 before any care could be administered. I'm not a bad pet owner. But I had no clue how much everything was going to cost and unfortunately, I am not rich. So, I called another vet she has been to (Western Hills) and was told again, too bad, come in after hours. There, it was going to be $300 for the visit before any care. Then, I called Colonial Park, $180. A Caring Heart, $150... none of these people gave a hoot that I needed care for my dog. I was okay paying upwards of $200 but I had no idea what was wrong and I couldn't afford much more than $250. I was crying and scared and I needed someone to actually care. As a last ditch effort, I called Dr. Brown's office. Thank goodness I did. The vet tech/receptionist was so very kind and told me to bring her right in. Off I drove at 3:45 to Burk. I didn't even have to wait. They got us back in a room immediately. Dr. Brown came in and did his exam, diagnosed my sweet girl and gave her some medicine. She was feeling better by the time we got home. This office isn't fancy. That doesn't bother me at all because the care and caring nature of these folks shine through. I would recommend anyone looking for good care at a reasonable price to go see these wonderful people!!!"
