I unfortunately had to put my 14 yr old cat down today and thankfully Southern Hills Vet Hosp was there for us. Everyone from the receptionist to the Dr were so extremely compassionate, caring, knowledgeable and sympathetic. I highly recommend them.

At first they were a five in my eyes with my first dog that I had to tragically put down at a year old. They were very compassionate and understanding with the situation. But then it changed with my second dog. They were great with him at first but then it changed. For context of the story his first appointment I informed them that he had separation anxiety from me and they did all they could to make him feel comfortable, they gave him (peanut butter, made sure I was right next to him, and when they gave him, his first dose of vaccinations they made sure I was in front of him and petting him to calm him down). But they tried to get me to buy him stuff for his anxiety, I bought on thing that didn't work and decided that it wasn't worth buying anything else. After I decided not to buy their stuff, things started to take a turn. It started when he got fixed they called us and told us we had to pick him up early after his procedure when they were supposed to supervise him for longer because he was whining too loudly. Then his follow up appointment there was little to no communication, they told me that is was supposed to be a tech appointment. They never once mentioned that it was going to involve them taking him into the back. When they took him to the back I thought they were going to check his stitches but instead they decided to try to give him a vaccination of some type and he ended up peeing out of fear. Instead of being professional and understanding they decided to laugh and try to corner him (I only know this because I walked to their room where they do the appointment and the door to the back was open). He immediately ran and hid behind me shakening with fear. Needless to say I wasn't happy with my experience.

Puck (Midsummer Night's Dream, not hockey) will soon be 16 and he is receiving the best of care from Lydia and her staff! They are all friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and very dedicated to their work. Puck has been suffering from arthritis in his hind quarters and a month in to getting weekly laser treatments he is doing so much better! I couldn't be happier or more satisfied with the care he receives from Southern Hills Vet Hospital! Thank You, Lydia and Staff!!! (Puck raised his head in agreement!) ;)

I took my beagle in for her yearly exam recently and they were great with her, especially when they needed to take a blood sample. A couple weeks later when my cat needed to be seen for a possible UTI, they got him in the same day. They went through everything they needed to do and gave me the cost of each procedure up front. The doctor was very patient with addressing all my questions and concerns.
