Paws Veterinary Clinic

I've been bringing my three dogs to this clinic for 12 years, and we always had a great experience with original doctor. Unfortunately, after the doctor Wendy retired, our experience with new doctor has been disappointing. Recently took my 12-year-old puppy, Simon in for his annual checkup, since he's older dog during the exam i was curious about vitamins or supplements for him.. the doctor suggested we start with blood test first, which seemed reasonable. However she keeps repeating that is going to be $300... okay After the test was done, I was told the doctor would call me little later that day -but never heard from anyone. I reached out multiple times, leaving notes, but no one got back to me. Six days later, I decided to drive to the clinic just to get any kind of answer.. This lack of communication was frustrating, especially when I was trying to make sure Simon gets the care he needs. I really wish the new doctor would have taken the time to know my pets names and shown more consideration for our long-standing relationship with the clinic. .. I was there 2 days before with my other dog Charlie... and two days later doctor dont even know or care who I was... Not sure what going on there, maybe she's just "Tired " or don't want to be there... It's been a disappointing experience, and i hope things improve for them in the future... Unfortunately I have to take my business somewhere else.

The staff and doctors at Paws have been great, and the care and procedures our little dogs have received have gone smoothly, with easy recovery and good instructions. The staff reaches out to check in after surgery, which is a welcome touch.

Very sad. It has taken me a while to write this review because I was very upset. I took my husky in to be tested for valley fever because she hadn't eaten in a few days and my dad, growing up on a farm, had seen this exact thing happen. Was happy they were able to get me in that day, the appointment was specifically made to get her tested for valley fever. The vet came in to look at her and I said what had been going on and that I want her tested for valley fever. She was pretty rude to me, not very gentel with my dog, looked at my dogs teeth and told me that her gums were inflamed and she had an infection in her gums that was making her sick. So I asked for them to do blood work on her. Once the blood work was done the vet said that she needed antibiotics and I needed to get tests done to see if her liver and kidneys were working properly because of what was low. I asked again about valley fever. The vet treated me like I was stupid and said it wasn't valley fever. They also took her temp when we got there and I heard the vet tech say 107 (I did not know the average temp for dogs) they didn't say anything to me about her having a high fever and they didn't put it on her paperwork when I checked later. So got the antibiotic, got home, she feels extremely hot, this is when I look up the average temp for dogs and relize I just left the vet with my baby having an extremely high fever. So I get her fever down and start giving the antibiotics. Three days go by and she is getting worse, I am syringing food and water into her and she is miserable. I call the vet back, thank god there was a different vet on staff, and I tell them I need the medication for valley fever. I tell them I am bringing her in, send the test out, but I need enough medication to last until that test comes back. The vet on staff this time was very nice, she agreed to give me enough medication until the test came back and gave her fluids, I could tell she actually really cared about the animals. If I had seen this vet the first time my dog might still be alive. Unfortunately the day the test came back confirming it was valley fever my baby died that morning. I am sorry to the good vet that I cant remember her name, but thank you for trying to help. It still breaks me to think that my baby died before she had to, and I shouldnt have listen to the first vet. Please remember limping is not the only sign of valley fever, it can present differently in different dogs.

I've been going to the vet for 25 years I've had hundreds of dogs go through here from my animal rescue in florence she will come to your house to make your dog more comfortable for an extra cost she's reasonably priced extremely professional. I trust her completely she cares about your pet almost as much as you care. I highly recommend this clinic I have no complaints on her whatsoever none that's rare for me never had a disagreement or difference in opinion. Wendy holst is #1 vet her clinic in Coolidge even took donations over the phone put towards the rescues account towards future our current vet bills when there was a story about the rescue on the news she's also appeared in the Florence blade and tribune with me her tech that adopted a dog I rescued that she had amputated the leg of she did a beautiful job by the way she was also there for me in an emergency situation when another vet turned me and a dog away that was dying from brain swelling after being attacked by several other dogs if it was not for her that dog would have suffered unimaginable pain for hours. she seen some more my most precious family members out of their life with love dignity and respect i respect her professionally and personally you will too

Everyone at this office is very empathetic and thorough and speedy! The DVM was especially wonderful! She was able to diagnose my lil Gizmo and with just a change to his diet, he is no longer peeing blood and can urinate pain free, emptying his bladder completely now! I was so worried and scared but now I know that if anything happens to my cats in the future, I have found a wonderful Vet Clinic in Paws!!! Not to mention they have a beautiful parrot named Taco, who cooed and made "soothing noises" to Gizmo while he cried in his cat carrier. It was so sweet!
