This was the first and last time I will be taking my cat there. When I called and made an appointment for my cat’s yearly visit, nobody told me she needed to be in a carrier. My cat prefers to be swaddled and carried in my arms, as I’ve always done when I take her places, including her past vets. They insisted that I buy a cardboard box from them for her to sit in or they couldn’t take her appointment. They told me $9 for the cardboard box. This was the longest, slowest vet experience of our lives. I was there for an hour and a half just for a cat check up and was late getting back to work. Then, they changed the price of the cardboard box to $10 when I was leaving. The vet herself was very nice, but the rest of the staff created a hostile feel for the place. Banfield at Petsmart by the mall was so much nicer.

Technician lacks empathy. I've been going to this vet for 2 years now for usual checkups. I had them clip my dogs toenails for the first time, and they handed me back my dog dripping blood on the floor. Turns out they sliced her paw pad (not even the quick), and had to repair it with surgical glue. The surgical glue didn't hold, and she is now at home still bleeding. (there was also another nail bleeding that required quickstop that I had to point out to them after they "repaired" her paw). There was never an acknowledgment from the vet, no apologies, and nothing from the technician. The head of pet pals says the technician "lacks communication" which is why I didn't get an apology, but failing to check a paw for blood as well as failing to surgically glue it back together is not communication, it is neglect. Imagine going to get a manicure, they slice your finger open and requires surgical glue to close, and you get zero communication and just sent home. If you ever encounter any mistakes from this tech, you will feel no closure, and you will realize they just see you as a number and do not actually care about the health of your animal. If you go there to pick up medication, fine. If you have them do any work on your dog, expect neglect. A lot of the people here are great, friendly people who I enjoy. Whoever worked on my pup is a different story though.

Pet Pal is absolutely wonderful. My baby bear Yogi had a medical emergency and Pet Pal was fully booked, but the minute they had a cancellation they called me back to bring him in to be seen. They took such good care of him and me, (I was a wreck with worry) they reassured me throughout the whole visit that everything would be ok. I am so grateful. My visit was affordable and Yogi is on the mend. I highly recommend them to anyone that needs a great quality caring clinic for their furry loved ones. Thank you Pet Pal. 💛

I need to have my dog shots can I do it there?

Carlene Bee | Aug 17, 2019
Joe Funkhowser | Aug 17, 2019

I don't believe they take appointments for shots, vet visits, etc. First come, first served. While you're at a vet visit and it's determined that your animal need a teeth cleaning, oral surgery, or something similar, they will make an appointment for that at that time since they do certain procedures only on certain days. It's also difficult to call there and have them answer the phone. You have to leave a message and expect a call back hours later.

Judi Treston | Aug 17, 2018

I am on a fixed income also. I have been going to Pet Pal for 5 yrs. They are very affordable. I paid a fraction of what other Vets charge. They are very nice and compassionate. I usually daw Dr. Smith/ director. Best care ever. I have had all kinds of animals through out my life and know a good Vet. My cat neeed a tooth pulled. I got quotes frim several Vets. $300-500 to pull a tooth. Pet Pal....$140 included OV and meds. Plus, lots if love. This year i had to let my Nellie go. They have a hospice Dr. She helped with my decision and grief. Good luck!

I believe my cat may have a UTI, he’s been peeing on my side of the bed and now my roommates bed as well. Am I able to bring him in and have him examined for that? How much would it be? Thanks!

Chase Parker | Aug 16, 2021

It's walk in only but you must be there between 8am and I believe noon to see the vet. It sounds like you need to see the vet. It is a great clinic and they are very thorough.

How much is the first visit. My dog got a few fleas and I need to get the flea pills, but I am on a limited budget.she is so miserable and I need to get help.

lewis vanhefter | Aug 17, 2019
Joe Funkhowser | Aug 17, 2019

You can purchase flea medication from SPOT without a vet visit. For dogs, I believe it's Activyl. If you require heartworm treatments, you're going to have to see the vet for a blood test. I know SPOT is limited to being open only a couple days a week for vet visits, Pet Pal at 1900 34th St. S. is open 6 days a week. First in, first served and they too are $35 a visit, not including tests or meds.

Dolly Skype | Aug 17, 2019
Pet Pal Veterinary Clinic | Aug 17, 2019

We don't advocate declawing of cats. It has many cons and most likely, if the issue is only scratching furniture, that can be corrected without removing a cats claws. Please reconsider declawing.
