Chase Oaks Animal Clinic

I can say Doug honestly cares and likes the animals in his care. This was my first experience at Chase Oaks and I could feel how as I talked with him that he knew my animals closely and either took good notes, or he just knew good talking points.
that said, billing here is another matter, when boarding two dogs for a week i can promise things can get out of hand quickly. There were a number of tests run that we didn’t know they were going to run.(heart-worm etc.). They also found slight ear infections and started to treat them without even trying a courtesy call. Thats kinda uncool. and even little crappy line item charges like «medical waste fee».
Bottom line, i trust the dr with their care. (nothing he did was against their best interest). but, i feel like i went in for a 400 boarding. that turned into a 1k event, with not even a phone call. and for that. reason I doubt we’ll return.

What a fantastic group of individuals!

I love Dr. Sanders. He is so kind and patient with my dogs and me. He takes the time to explain things and and be thorough, never in a rush to get me out of there. He is super enthusiastic and engaging. I always feel confident with him and his vet techs. He is very reasonably priced as well. Totally worth driving 15 miles each way to see him :)

Like this place! I took my dog to get his anal glands cleaned. Quick and simple!

Dr. Sanders and his staff are wonderful. My adopted dog has been well taken care of by Dr. Sanders for 4 years now. His enthusiasm for his field needs to be bottled and sold. Thank you Dr. Sanders.

Dr. Doug is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He does not try to rush you out the door, or sell you unnecessary products. He makes pets & their owners feel at ease. Dr. Doug supports adopting pets from shelters. The staff is friendly and professional, & Dr. Doug will answer any questions. Fully reccomend.

This place is awesome! Everyone from front to back was great. Dr. Doug is the best! The price is fair and they don’t try to make you pay for things you don’t need. I will definitely be back!

I have been coming to Chase Oaks for well over one year now, and I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Dr. Sanders is amazing and most of his staff are very knowledgable and helpful. As cheesy as it sounds, they really do treat you like family and pay attention to the details. Not only are they good at what they do, but they’re also very reasonably fair with their prices. Dr. Sanders «gets» it. He’s extremely honest, fair and knowledgable and doesn’t prescribe you meds just to make money. He often suggests alternatives to save you money, and has even cut me some slack (on several occasions) where he feels appropriate. I completely trust him and his advice.
This is an example of why this place is so great. I have two dogs and one is a large «guard dog» breed and looks vicious but is a gentle giant. And Dr. Sanders totally picked up on that and trusts my dog. (I’ve had other vets muzzle my dog just for a check up because of this breeds reputation.) Dr. Sanders really gets to know you and your dog, and makes it a personalized visit.
This is the ultimate example of why this place is so great. Dr. Sanders and his staff saved my 13 year old cockapoo’s life last summer and I will always be thankful for that. I was told from another vet (East Plano Animal Hospital) that my dog had arthritis and that’s why he couldn’t walk. Of course I was prescribed a bunch of meds for this. I then took my dog to Dr. Sanders for a second opinion and he knew immediately that my dog had injured his back. Apparently you only have 72 hours before back injuries become permanent and it had been just about 72 hours before we got him to Dr. Sanders. Dr. Sanders and his staff kept my dog over night and gave him steroid shots every couple of hours during the entire night. I was sent home with more steroids and pain pills, and told to keep him crated to keep him as still as possible for a few weeks. Luckily my dog made a 100% recovery — otherwise I would of had to put him down because he literally could not walk. And that’s how I became a Chase Oaks Animal Clinic and Dr. Sanders customer for life.

I love this practice! So far I’ve brought 2 of my fur babies here and each time has been great! I first visited back in 2013 for both of my cats dental cleaning and yearly exams. The bedside manner is very professional and caring. I know that might seem strange seeing it’s not me who is being treated but bedside manner is imperative when it comes to family members.
As a «cat mom» cats can be so sensitive to verbal and physical communication. With that said I really scrutinize over treatment. I recently picked up two feral kittens and it’s been nothing but one thing after another. They have been very informative with each treatment (new kitties had some kitty bugs), kind, compassionate, and the prices are great!
Andrea at the front desk is amazing! I’ve probably called her 4 times in the last week and each time she’s been extremely informative and professional (even how ill drone on about potential issues/​problems with my new kittens). Three of my cats now see both vets on site.
Both Dr. Sanders and Dr. Nichols are amazing at their craft. Bring your «kids» to Chase Oaks, they will win you over like they did me!

Love it here! Very friendly staff and wonderful Dr. This will be our vet from now on!

Staff is excellent and caring!
I’ve been going to Dr. Sanders and his team for many years. Always such a nice, compassionate group of people there and I just can’t say enough great things about them. Highly recommended.

Dr. Sanders is a rock star in his field. Not only is he amazingly nice he is extremely good at what he does. He has treated my family pets for more than 20 years. I drive a long way to take my pets to see him because they deserve the best treatment available and that is Dr. Sanders. KH

When looking for top care for your pet combined with a good bedside manner and common sense approach, head to Dr. Doug Sanders and the Chase Oaks Animal Clinic. We began using the Doc when he first started his practice. It’s only gotten better. We’ve tried another (much closer location), but came back to Dr. Sanders for a better personal touch.
The fees are very reasonable. They are 25%+ less than some clinics in McKinney. His staff are always courteous and professional. The place is always clean. When needing surgery and/​or medications, the prices are reasonable. The care (before, during and after) are stupendous. When recently having our dog spade and dew claw removal, they didn’t charge extra for additional visits or medication.
If there were anything to improve, it would be responsiveness of staff. They get back with you the same day, but they’re obviously very busy. Compared to others, Chase Oaks is about the same or slightly better.
When needing the best animal care, give Chase Oaks a call. See for yourself.

We have been taking our cats to Chase Oaks since 2001 and our dog since we adopted him in 2009. We have had nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Sanders and his staff – they have all been a delight to work with! He is very thurough but measured in his approach. Both of our cats have chronic health conditions (one has a cleft palate and the other has an underdeveloped kidney), and Dr. Sanders gave us the pros and cons of treatment and supported our decisions instead of shoving every possible test or procedure on us. He is always upbeat and clearly loves working with pets and their families, and his rates are more reasonable than some other animal clinics we’ve visited over the years. Even though we have moved away from Plano, we keep coming back! Can’t recommend him enough!

Dr. Sanders is incredible – no other word does him justice. Well-​mannered, considerate, caring, and able to answer all of my questions, no matter how bizarre. Highly recommend.

Dr. Sanders is the best vet I have ever had. He truly loves what he does and sincerely cares about the animals. And he doesn’t nickle and dime you to death like most vets do. In fact, he will do his best to keep the cost to a minimum when extensive care is needed. The staff are also very friendly and some will do pet sitting for you (for a fee) while you are out of town. I miss this place terribly because I had to move out of state. I look forward to the day I can return to Texas and have them start caring for my pets again because they really do provide the best care.
