Pittman Animal Hospital

I just moved here not too long ago, and the only vet we knew is extremely expensive. I didn’t wanna spend a fortune getting my fur babies shots, so I waited and kept looking. I asked a friend of mine and she referred me to this place, and I couldn’t be any happier!
It is a first come first serve, which is nice because you don’t have to make an appointment ahead of time. The staff, the people, and the vet were all EXTREMELY welcoming and friendly. It’s nothing fancy but I don’t wanna pay for fancy! The vet was gentle and talked to my dogs, making sure they were calm. When I went to pay I expected a large bill for the two shots they got. it was only $ 61! I highly recommend this place to anyone, it’s simply fantastic.

Personally I have only used Pittman one time which was today to get a well puppy check for my newly adopted dog. The vet checked her all out and answered all my questions and looked at her paperwork and said she was good to go! It took about 10 minutes if even that. They don’t take appointments for office visits, you can walk in between 8 – 9:30 and 1 – 5 I got there a few min before 1 and there were 3 other dogs waiting to be seen before me. I only waited probably 20 minutes at most. My mom and sister both use this vet as well which is why I went there, my sister used this vet when her dog needed a lump removed and my mom has used this vet to get shots and teeth cleaning for the dogs and they both love it. The vet seemed caring and knowledgable and he seemed honest. Also to make things better it is WAY more affordable than any other vet around. It’s only $ 25 for an office visit when most places want $ 40 or more.

WOW is all I can say. The people who work here are sweet and treated me with a lot of respect. The vet guy was gentle and seeing as how my cat didn’t try to bite him he must be a good guy (I have an older angry cat LOL).
Oh and cheap too! My two cats got their vaccines and my other cat got an allergy shot for only $ 58. Normally you’d pay that just for one cat.
I’m glad I checked on Unilocal for a good vet. If you’re doing the same I recommend them!

This is a clinic that is more word of mouth than advertised. The staff is extremely friendly and Dr. Pittman genuinely loves animals. This is a quality lost among a lot of vets. They accept walk ins and do not try to upsell you or pressure you into buying more than you need or can afford at the time. I pay cash for my services but I believe he is willing to work with you on payments. He’s very honest with you and makes you feel comfortable.

Honest, reliable & friendly. I have been a customer him for 12 years now and wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I’ve been taking my pets here for years. They’re always fast and prompt with your pet care needs. Just call and give them a head’s up you’re coming in and Dr. Trost and Co. will usually be able to check out your pet the very same day (of course, the earlier you call the better).
Prices have always been very fair and the staff has been nothing but friendly — maybe a little blunt at times, but when you have a sick dog or cat, there’s no need to fluff things up. I appreciate that.
Pittman offers all your typical vet needs, from vaccinations and other shots, spaying/​neutering, x-​rays, medications, etc., etc.
Plus there’s a classic charm to the place. No fancy digital database, just a big bin of manila folders with all the necessary client information. The building itself is small, but is as accommodating as it needs to be. There’s a small parking lot right off Dodge street that is easy to miss and can fill up quickly. You can always park along Douglas street and walk up from the back if you’d like.

Animal care is a very personal aspect to pet ownership. You will either click with the vet and see them caring the way you had hoped or not. This place has a good vet at a very reasonable price. That is the main perk to Pittman. You will get a skilled staff at a low price. For those of us on a budget this place is wonderful.
The building is hard to get into since its off of dodge down an alley for parking which is also limited given the spots. (Look for the brown sign, it comes up quick) He is popular given the value and service so waiting is a strong possibility. If your the type of person who feels your precious needs the best care in Omaha then you may want to consider elsewhere but if you don’t want or can’t pay for it then Pittman will exceed your expectations. Hope this helps: o)

Do you realize some people are born to be great vets? Dr. Trost is one of them. Just like a teacher who loves to pass on info. And emotional help to her students, Dr. Trost transfers calm and common sense caring without the huge price tag. Recently, our cat came to him with a hard mass. The good Doc started first with antibiotics at $ 40. Not even a week later, our beloved cat was freed from the infection.
Thanks Dr. Trost for servicing our dogs and cats the past 25 years. You still look the same, DogFather!

I’ve always had a good experience with them. The assistants are a little rough around the edges but everyone seems helpful and they get the job done. He does not rip you off unlike the place I used to take my pets (Dr. Bosilevac Best Care Pet Hospital).
If he doesn’t feel comfortable doing a procedure he will refer you to somewhere else. Seems relatively easy to get ahold of and even ask questions over the phone (w/​o charging)

Being an in-​debt UNMC student, this is the perfect vet for me. Their services are far less expensive than other nearby vets. Looks like they haven’t renovated in 50 years but I guess this is saving you money. Dr. Trost works with your budget and gives honest advice. I’ve never had to pay for clinic visits, just lab work and meds. When my cat needed a second round of medicines they even gave me her 2^nd bottle free of charge.

Pass. It stinks and they are borderline rude to me and my animals! And you can see everything going on in the exam room. They do have cheap Frontline is the ONLY thing I like.
