VCA University Animal Hospital

This Vet was recommended to me by a friend when I needed to bring my dog in for a regular checkup and get his booster shots — it definitely lived up to expectations. The staff along with Dr. Curry are very friendly!
My dog is very timid and shy around people, and they were very understanding and cognizant of that. They also explained why they thought certain vaccinations/​shots would benefit him, but they didn’t do it in a pushy way that made me feel like I absolutely had to do it.
Overall, I had a pleasant experience and Bennett (my dog) didn’t seem to mind either!

So I love this place! Always really fast service. I never feel rushed. It’s really clean. There’s no pet smell there, hence the really clean part. I don’t know what I would do if it wasn’t for Tara taking care of me so well there

I came here with my parents to give our family chihuahua (named Lucky) a regular checkup. This place was recommended by a friend of mine, so that was a good sign from the start.
Our first visit here was straightforward and pleasant. The staff was accessible from the moment we walked in and gave us, first time dog owners, some helpful advice on caring for Lucky and making sure we were well-​informed. She was very thorough and kind with Lucky and not once did I feel like she was rushing this checkup to move on to other patients. On top of that, it was a nice bonus having someone (Dr. Echevarria) who could talk Spanish to my parents.
I would whole-​heartily recommend this place for new pet owners.

For over 10 years, my standard poodle received expensive, but what I perceived to be good veterinary care. Barely into his 11^th year, he began to have increasing digestive issues, and steady lost a significant amount of weight. Intuitively, I knew he could be terminally ill, but this possibility was never voiced to me by his vet. When I I learned that VCAUAH did not have the equipment to look for cancer. He was sent to another facility where a scan showed a large tumor. Stupidly, I opted for surgery, where the mass was deemed inoperable, and he was allowed to pass under anesthesia. Looking back, I believe that the severity of his condition should have been:1) diagnosed earlier, 2) and/​or confirmed by the vet at VCAUAH so that he could have been put to sleep at home. I have come to terms with this, but cannot believe that more than two years later, I still receive postcard mailings form VCAUAH that happily state «We miss (name of my dog) ! Please bring him in for his annual_​_​_​_​» Even after personally bringing the staff cookies, and tearfully telling them how painful it is to receive these mailings, I received the latest one just last week.

Dr. Curry and her staff are efficient and caring people. I brought my lab in for a teeth cleaning and they called me afterwards and told me how he did and when I could come and get him. Upon arrival, they ushered me into a room and the Doctor came in and spoke with me about my dogs procedure and gave me instructions for the next day. Everything was done with care. I even got a follow up call the next day to see how my little guy was feeling. My animals are treated with love, that I cannot imagine taking them anywhere else!

Cannot Thank Dr. Curry and her staff enough for helping with the Rescue Animals. They give them Awesome care and are always there to help. And a great Big Thank you To Critical Care Critters for taking a rescue in after he is well and helping him find his forever home. Nikki all the bulldogs LOVE you! and so do the Bulldog Moms

I hope they have changed since we left them a few years ago. One of my pets never made it home. My other was in boarding for a week and when we picked him up he was covered in urine, could hardly stand and in great pain. Another vet saved his life (after $ 2000 in necessary treatment). Any time we (or any of my friends) boarded we noticed after we got home that all the pets drank water like they had not had a drink in days. Is this so they don’t have to walk dogs as much or change litter boxes as much?

Very disappointed with VCA. I had adopted a new CODE RED dog from the shelter on Saturday and was in a bit of a pickle to get my new little man fixed on Monday. The shelter was bursting at the seams, so let me take him home and gave me a voucher for the procedure. Dallas Animal Services required proof by Monday night that the procedure was done.
I had used VCA in Plano and never had a problem. Called them first thing Monday morning and got him in. They treated him well, and then the bill came. $ 400. A… what? DAS does it for $ 20. SPCA does it for $ 50. My friend’s excellent and local vet in HP does it for $ 155. $ 400? And then they argued about accepting the voucher. I will never, ever use this place again. Not even any appreciation for saving a dog from a certain EU on Saturday. They will never receive my business again and I will make sure others know how much of a rip off they are. Maybe they were taking advantage of my time crunch, but if that is the case, they are even worse than I thought.

I live in both Los Angeles and Dallas. My dogs live in Dallas, and University is the ONLY place I will take them. The staff is so friendly, my dogs are always happy when they are there and manager Niki is amazing. She has such a great demeanor with the animals. She also saved my dalmatian’s life when he almost died from kidney stones, he lived 3 more years because of her knownledge, attention to detail, and compassion. It will be my vet hospital for life.

Very nice, friendly customer service, took care of my lil one. I believe the Managers Name was Niki, very helpful. Thanks again :)

We had a wonderful experience at this clinic. Dr. Curry and Dr. Kienlen showed extreme compassion and care for my pet in our time of need. I can’t thank them and the staff enough. Would recommend them to anyone!

Dr’s are wornderful. Dr. Cleghorn spent 15 minutes with her hands on my cat;just making sure the vet tech didn’t miss any thing. SHe a asked to break up the shots because my cat is a senior. If the best care is important try VCA University Animal Hospital
