I must be fair and say that UVH is very thorough. They leave no stone un-turned when it comes to your pet's health. \r \r The problem is, they make it seem like every test and ...

Devoted University Animal Hospital Client 1/19/2011

To the Doctors and Staff of University Animal Hospital:\r \r We have been clients of University Animal Hospital for over 30 years. We have seen it grow from a small veterinary clinic started by Dr. Thomas Gus to a state of the art veterinary hospital with the ability to treat any type of medical condition. The facilities are always clean and both myself and our doggies are greeted by the friendly members of the University Animal Hospital team each time we visit. The doctors are the Best in the Veterinary business. They have a genuine compassion about our pets and their healthcare. We have enjoyed raising 5 puppies starting off their great care with the Puppy Plan at the Hospital. They have received the highest level of care throughout their years and healthy long lives being managed by the doctors at University Animal Hospital. They have overseen our pet's care during crisis situations. Dr. Gus waited for us at 10:30 pm one evening when our German Shephard was struck by a car and fully recovered from his injuries thanks to his care. Dr. Flegeneheimer assisted our Lab through a serious bout of pneumonia with tender loving care. We have had to put 3 of our dogs down after the battle of old age. The compassion and caring they showed us during this period was amazing - even giving us a small clay footprint as a keepsake. The medical service and customer service is outstanding. I will remain a devoted customer of University Animal Hospital for years to come. Thanks to all the doctors and staff for being available for our four-legged family! Mary Clifton more

Quality Care and Compassion 12/8/2010

I have been taking my pets to University Veterinary Hospital for almost 10 years now. I can?t say enough about the level of compassion and care that Dr. Gus and his entire staff, from Doctors to Technicians, Receptionist and the Kennel team has given to me and all of my four legged family. I have only high praises for this outstanding facility, and in my opinion, whether my pets are being seen for their yearly exams or facing a medical emergency, UVH will do everything possible to ensure the best outcome for my pets. UVH offers such a wide variety of specialties, I know what ever may happen with my pets, the very best care will be immediately available. The extended evening and weekend hours give me the flexibility to make an appointment that accommodates my schedule. I highly recommend University Veterinary Hospital to anyone who is searching for the highest quality of care available for their pets. more

The Best 11/29/2010

Just want to say a big THANK YOU to the staff and Doctors at University Animal Hospital. The expertise of the staff at this hospital goes above and beyond the normal animal hospital. They work very hard to get me in when those "emergencies" hit my beloved pets - having 14 dogs and 1 cat it seems like there is always one that needs something. You can't find a better facility or staff in Arizona! more

Best Animal Hospital Ever 11/23/2010

I have been a client for many years and have had nothing but good experiences at this clinic. Great employees, great doctors, all caring and professional. Especially useful are the reminders that are sent regarding the pets' exams and vaccinations coming up. And they are sent well enough ahead of time so that appointments can be made in a timely manner ensuring that my pets remain healthy and well protected. This is the place to go if you and your pets want to be treated well and get the best veterinary care. more

Great job 9/8/2010

Hello!\r My Chihuahua, Frida, is a frequent guest at the University Animal Hospital Pet Resort and a patient also. She is a rescue girl who we have had for two years; and she can be a little shy/skittish. The caregivers at the pet resort are so good to her and seem to really love her; and she loves them back. I never worry when I leave her with such caring people. She is always a "happy camper" and I am too knowing she is so well taken care of. Great job!! Hugs, Peg Darnell (Frida's Mom) more

Our dog Rowdy 5/22/2010

Our dog Rowdy had surgery and to my surprise--the Vet called us at 8:00 pm to check on him to make sure he was ok. He was 14 and when he died years later, they also made that experience livable. They were professional, caring, understanding, and they really cared for the animals they took care of. I would recommend they to all my friends. more

We are not happy when you don't buyyyyyyyy! 5/21/2010

I took my puppy in after making an apointment and printing out the new client form, for a 10% discount.\r Every single person, DR. ,Vet Tech, Reception were all confused on what their pricing was and how the discount was given. Durning the exam my family was treated as if we were the most uneducated people in the world (we have owned a puppy before)!.. And every attempt to sell microchip, fecal, dental, treats, food, extra vaccines,$300 puppy package plan and a kitten was made. They really wanted to worry us asking if the dog came from the pound, pet store, or other place were doggies get sick. No sale, I got the puppy from a friend, so much for pushing that bordatella shot. Dr. told us $53 for exam and 1st shots total $78. Next time he will need a rabies shot because he is older (4wks) and we will get changed that $53 dollars again for a mandatory exam with rabies shot. It soon became obvious they were not happy with us, we evedently didn't spend enough $ to appear like responsible pet owners. More to come....... Pros: It only took 3 people, including the Dr. to give the 10% off Cons: If they want to sell, they need some sales training. more

Best Vet hospital there is 4/5/2010

I have ben a long time client and cannot even imagine going to any other vets. My dogs and reptiles get excellent care there. Yje equipment is state of the art and the facility is attractive, bright and open. And by the way, the art work on the walls is awesome!!! The doctors are up on the latest procedures and meds. They take time to explain things thoroughly and are always friendly and caring towards both clientssand their pets. This also goes for the large staff of receptionists, vet techs and kennel techs. Emergencies are handled quickly and efficiently. Owners of pets having had surgery or animals staying at the hospital are kept informed on a continuing basis of the condition of their animlals and the progress that is being made towards good health.\r The boarding facility is spacious and kept scrupulously clean. It is truly a PET RESORT where pets get loving care.\r This is a great place. Just ask my dogs!!!! Pros: Excellent care for your pet Cons: There are absolutely none more

Genuine caring expertise! 3/16/2010

Dr. Evan Ware is the most friendly and knowledgeable professional I have ever encountered. Not only does he genuinely have a love for animals, but his comforting demeanor and smile immediately puts you at ease. I took my cat benji in for all his kitten services and continue to reach out to Dr. Ware every time I am worried about something and he immediately is helpful and caring. I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. Ware. I highly recommend University Animal Hospital to care for your little loved one! more

University Animal Hospital is life saving 11/23/2009

We can?t say enough good things about yet another experience at University. We found a pregnant stray (which we eventually named Abby) on a Sunday night. Less than 12 hours later she delivered the first of what would be 12 stillborn puppies (over the course of 24 hours). That was sad enough, but a day later Abby was listless and had little color in her gums or her tongue. Tests revealed she was very anemic. She was put on medication, but 24 hours later the number went even lower to 8%. Our vet in Laveen advised a blood transfusion immediately. As they were closing in a few hours, they said they were unable to assist us. Bob and I immediately thought of University, our vet for so many years before we moved to the west side of town. University agreed immediately to do a blood transfusion as soon we could get to the clinic. Once there, Abby saw Dr. Tascon who would oversee the transfusion. Eventually, Abby?s red count went up, but so did her white count, in fact, it went through the more

University Animal Hospital Saved me Money & Saved my Dog 10/29/2009

I live in Gilbert and took my 6 year old dog to a vet who told me that they didn't have the equipment needed to evaluate/treat my dog. University Vet was able to diagnose my dog and treat her without surgery - they saved me so much money not to mention my dog is back to her old self! Thank you University Vet! You are my new veterinarian. more

Proud to be a UVH client! 9/24/2009

I became a client when I first moved to south Phoenix on a recommendation from my previous veterinarian. I love that University has so many doctors because I can always get in to see someone. The hospital is laid out really well and I *love* the boarding areas! My dog and cats have a great time when they board there. The prices are right in line considering their doctors have so much experience and skill. I like that I can buy my pet food and I can get my dog groomed right at the same place! One time, when I brought my dog, Louie, in for grooming, the groomer found a puncture wound on his foot that I would never have noticed. She alerted my vet who examined him and called me with a treatment plan. I really appreciated the attention that the groomer and the vet gave Louie and it made it really easy and convenient for me to get him treated. I also like that they send me reminder cards in the mail so I don't have to keep track of when all my pets' vaccines and exams are due. Thank you Uni more

Amazing Experience 9/18/2009

Amazing experience By Jad D. I had to bring my dog into University Animal Hospital in an emergency because he ate an entire bottle of aspirin. From the time that I came in, they were quick to take action, but the vet soon came in and described exactly what they were doing and what the consequences were, I wish that I had that much confidence in my own doctor. They let me come back and be with him after they were done with the emergency work and did not rush me at all. Any questions that I had either the technician or the vet answered for me with no problem. I changed over to them as my regular vet from then on, and I would never look back. more

Great Facility 4/6/2009

My dog loves coming to University. Everytime we turn into the parking lot he gets so excited. Since he can't tell me what he is thinking, I find his smile and tail wagging to be very reassuring. The people seem genuinely interested in providing the best care. This place offers great service and follow through, they obviously take pride in their work and in the hospital. Jack has a great time in the kennel and doctors visits are always relaxed with doctors that seem really knowledgable. Pros: Hours, Staff more

Best Place To Go 7/30/2008

I have always had the best experience coming to University Animal Hospital. They have an amazing and caring staff from the front office to the doctors. We had an emergency with our dog and they were absolutely amazing with their response time and as upset as we were they gave us the care we needed as well as our pet. We have been coming here for years. I would not go anywhere else more
