Spencer Deale - Spanish Trail Pet Clinic

My lil guy is my child, & we have been trying to find a good vet for 12 years. Now that he's older, we're addressing mobility issues, & as alpha dog, I know he's in a lot more pain than he shows. Unfortunately, Chopper has had a history of bad vet experiences & he's a fractious, anxious doggie as it is, so he makes for a horrible patient. These guys were AMAZING. Even though Chopper was ready to dart out the door at any chance, they were patient & incredibly professional. They scheduled me for an hour without even asking or charging me extra, they listened thoroughly to my concerns & suggestions for approaching Chops, & we moved @ Chop's pace. Whereas the last vet couldn't even look @ Chopper or get near him, here, they were able to hold him & examine him, & we made a game plan to obtain labs & treat his arthritis. They cautioned me that we wouldn't move mountains in 1 day, & their goal was to make it as good an experience as possible for Chop so that they COULD treat him. Coming from vets who have told me I should put him down because he couldn't be handled, this place was the answer to my prayers. Their pricing is completely reasonable & a fraction of the cost of valley or others for senior labs & X-rays. Instead of manhandling Chopper & traumatizing him further, they are willing to break up our goals into small steps & we even have hopes for eventual monthly treatments down the road. I'm so pleased to know I'll be working with the same vet every visit, unlike many places where whoever is available treats your pet. I am so excited to come back in 2 weeks to begin our treatment plan. If anyone is looking for genuine senior dog care- which requires special considerations, looking for a vet you can establish care with & who your dog will come to recognize, & for a place where the people are so compassionate & truly listen to both you & your pet, Spencer is the vet to come to. This is everything I have been hoping to find to give Chopper the best care possible. I couldn't recommend more- we'll never be going anywhere else!

Love Spanish Trail Pet Clinic! The team here treats our pups as though they were their pups! They keep the puppers calm by talking kindly to them and giving them tasty treats! Everyone here is kind and understanding, even when your dog is talking up a storm! We have been going here for years and we trust the team with our pet's lives. Our golden retriever loves going here. This is one of the few places she gets excited about visiting. Great team, awesome customer service, and they are amazing with our pets.

They could fit my little kitten in. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. We didn't have much of a wait either!

Took my two blind kittens in for vaccines and FeLv testing, and every staff member was absolutely compassionate and invested in my pets! Everyone they met was so gentle with them in the room that there was no question that they treated them just as well behind the scenes (as can be a worry with some clinics). The receptionist even spent some time in my exam room just hanging out and petting them, she was absolutely lovely! I was at ease immediately walking through the doors. The prices are out of this world for basic veterinary care, so if you're looking for a cost effective clinic, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. However, they aren't going to push unnecessary treatments on you. I had a vaccine that would be considered "optional" but wanted to explore vaccinating them anyways. They explained the pros and cons of vaccinating and the reasons we would or wouldn't. They didn't just throw an estimate in my face, they could have charged me and vaccinated without question. But they wanted to make sure my pets were receiving the best possible care. As someone who worked at a few veterinary practices myself, this was one of the biggest green flags I've ever seen! Pricey, again, but seeing how well they treated my pets, it is worth the money in my eyes for peace of mind and a comfortable experience for anxious people and pets alike My cat was purring in the exam room even after bloodwork, she clearly rates it 5 stars
