VCA Southside Animal Hospital 6045 South Central Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85042

"EDIT: Southside used to be the best, but ever since whatever company bought them, they've gone into a nosedive. Took one of our hounds there recently and they couldn't even be bothered to call us back...THREE TIMES!! DESPITE SPENDING ALMOST 600 BUCKS!! There are still some great people there, but this place is barely a memory of what it used to be. I do NOT recommend. Original review from YEARS ago: Southside is our absolute go-to. We have retired racing greyhounds and they are the best in town for the hounds. They don't just work with hounds, though! We brought our Boston Terriers here, too. They're awesome with all breeds and HIGHLY recommended!"

"Terrible experience with VA Alyssa Show. Our family had been coming to Southside Animal hospital since I could remember. Since our last visit a few years ago it has completely changed and now part of VCA and no longer a mom and pop style Vet. Alyssa Show insisted on putting our dog to sleep because we wouldn’t agree 1k in ridiculous unnecessary tests and hospitalization. It’s been 4 months and our dog is doing great under the care of a vet that actually cares and not attempt to make an owner feel bad for not wanting to be up-charged. Never using or recommending this place ever again."

"Excellent experience! We just adopted our new kitten from the AZ Humane Society and got a free wellness checkup here at VCA. Everyone we interacted with was kind and very helpful. Our appointment time was honored and we didn't spend very much time waiting. Make sure to bring your certificate from the adoption paperwork for the checkup! You must have it for it to be honored. Thank you to VCA and all of their hard work! I am happy to be taking my new baby to some wonderful professionals."

"First time doing this so if there's a boo-boo sorry I mean to give you five amazing stars. I really appreciate the way you care for my little ones. from clipping their nails or having a procedure done you thoroughly explain the reason. Your office is so thoughtful, so caring.Thank you for everything."

"Dr Tascan is my favorite next to Dr. Yocum. I didn't think anyone would be able to take his place that I'd like. But he took great care of my pup. Price is right as well."
