Dr. Kathy Harris and her Team provide professional, loving care for not only my hard working Seeing Eye Dog, but after speaking with other pet owners/parents it is clear that this is the consensus. They treat our animals with respect, kindness and compassion. Dr. Harris is consistently researching the growth of industry education and research. It is very obvious every time we are assisted at this facility that Dr. Harris treats colleagues as respected members of her Team who work with her and not for her. That is a winning strategy for any business owner. read more

I will only take my animals here from now on. I love this place, the staff is amazing. They are so attentive and patient with our animals and our concerns. Yesterday we took our kitten and our dog in to get checked. Right as we were about to walk in, our cat carrier broke and our kitten ran so fast towards the very busy street. I was freaking out and trying my best to get her but we also had our dog. Then out of nowhere two amazing women that worked there ran so fast and saved our little baby! It was truly amazing they looked like super women running to save her. I wish I could express how thankful I am for them. They even had a spare cat carrier and gave it to us so we could safely take her home. Thank you academy pet hospital and those two wonderful ladies that were so quick to help us! We love you! read more

I've been coming here for years and I'm generally pleased. Just be prepared for a long wait. Got checked in for a 2:30 appt., seen at 3:20 with no explanation. My cat still needs his blood drawn and to see the vet. I feel like the wait should not take 45 minutes past appt. time. I have kids and a life, so I'm very disappointed. Will probably end up somewhere else in the future. No one has checked in our room or tried to save time by drawing my senior diabetic cat's blood. read more

Dr. Harris was so helpful and gentle with my kitty. She addressed all of our concerns and explained everything thoughtfully. The whole experience at Academy Pet was smooth and seamless. I'm so happy to have found such a great place for my fur baby. read more

After our cat got service here I was called and told my bill would be approximately $450. i have my wife the money and when she came home with the receipt I saw I was overcharged an additional $100 plus dollars. I called and after much discussion I was told that I could come in for a refund of over $100 I was overcharged. I went in for my refund and was told that they did not know about it. If you take your pet here, make sure they don't steal money from you because they will deny it. Do not take your pet here unless you want to lose money. Worst customer service ever. read more

I'm so excited to have read reviews and taken my dog to Academy Pet Hospital! My dog Jones had a dew-claw that had grown into the pad of his foot. (I missed it, my bad.) I made the appointment last week. Got a text reminder a few days ahead of time-nice! Partner and I arrived with our senior dog, Jones. The waiting room is small but not crazy or crowded. There is soothing music-think meditation... Did the paperwork. We were taken to an exam room. Within minutes, a technician came in to do the initial screening. Jones got bits of ham. I'm sure that they wanted to see if he was eating: But, yes, bits of ham! What could be better to make a dog more relaxed! Again, within minutes, The Dr. came in. She introduced herself as Kathy. Dr. did a nice exam with Jones, talking to us every step of the way. They took Jones out of the room for nail removal. I'm so appreciate of that. Check out was easy. The price was about $200., just slightly more than the quote-but got pain meds for Jones. Easy! Friendly! Thorough! Reasonably Priced! No complaints. Very happy. read more

My wife before me has been going to Academy Pet for 35 years, and for 32+ with me. The only time we didn't go there was a brief break between owners. The staff, some of whom have been there nearly 20 years, all act in the best interest of our pet. Poor Doc Harris has finally gotten some relief help, she was working her fingers to the bone. She would still call our home with lengthy updates on Isabella's prognosis, test results, etc.; and this after a very very long day at her practice! She cares, and cares deeply. She was even seeing Isabella when the previous owner Doctor Hopkins owned Academy, as she would work there then. We nearly lost Isabella due to the pure incompetence at VCA in the aforementioned interlude. Sorry, but it is true. Hopkins had Isabella on Prednisilone, and when he retired, VCA prescribed Prednisone. We questioned it, due to it being a change, and ended up with Isa in the Emergency Room overnight on CHRISTMAS eve! Once Dr. Harris reopened Academy, we naturally went back there immediately, and the first thing she told us was that cats CANNOT metabolize PREDNISONE! She has Isa on Prednisilone for her Asthma once again, with great results, and we will stay at Academy until we are dead. They have taken care of 4 pets in a row, and God willing, will take care of more. Great practice, great pet care, fantastic staff, they truly are the best, and we felt that way before almost losing Isa. Ger and Heidi Warren read more

BEWARE of this vet trying to rack up your bills with false diagnoses. A friend tooI her 8 month old kitten who was not doing well, sick, lethargic, not eating and incontinent. They told her he had cancer, a certain kind they can be born with, charged her for the emergency vet visit and called her with options for treatment, (in the thousands) or putting him down. Later my friend found out it was a tick bite, got antibiotics and in 2 days he's running around And back to normal! read more

We usually read review before we go to places. We noticed that someone had recently written a bad review, the thing that got me was the fact that two people from the same household wrote a bad review. Being a business owner we know what these reviews can do to a business. We try our best to make everyone happy but every now and then it just doesn't work. So we decided to give them a try. We are so thankful that we did. They took such good care of our poodle. We were going to have to wait a week to get in but when we told the receptionist she said if she had anyone cancel that they would let us know. That same afternoon she called back and was able to get us in the next day. Our furry pet loved the assistant and the Dr. We are so thankful that we went ahead and trusted our gut. So please everyone before you hold a bad review against a place make sure you also look at the good. As a business owners we are really try in these difficult times that we are all living in. read more

Both of my pit bulls have gone to Dr.Harris for years. My female has been with her since she was a puppy. They always make them feel welcome and they love going. They have never discriminated or made me feel discriminated because of my pit bulls. The staff is always super nice, friendly and helpful. They will suggest options for your pets health but never make you feel pressured if you cant do it right and the moment. Vet appointments are expensive just in general so the understand. read more

I am furious, the front desk staff I don't know her name because when I asked her she hung up on me , She initially answered and asked how she could help so I mentioned to her I wanted to schedule my dog to be spayed and how much it would be. When she found out my per would be new she hung up on me. When I called back she answered and stayed quiet. She didn't say anything she just stayed quiet for 39 minutes and then she hung up on me. I've called from a different number and she hung up on me again and when I tried to call again she answered and did the same thing she stayed quiet and said nothing. I could hear them talking about someone's birthday. This is extremely unprofessional. You should address the face of your companies employees because this service was trash. I am flabbergasted, i don't understand how it says 4.7 stars when I wouldn't even give this service half a star. read more

These guys are absolutely awesome! Our animals love and trust them, they never try to sell services to us that we don't need which for me is a giant boon! And their prices are extremely reasonable! As long as they are there I will keep bringing my animals to them! read more

Academy Pet Hospital saw our dogs for about two years before we moved out of state. They saw our younger dog, Luna, from the time she was 7 weeks old. They always took good care of our pups and loved them like their own. Luis, the gentleman at the front desk, was great and very personable. He remembered us and our dogs, which meant a lot to us. When we had to rush one of our pets to an emergency vet due to an allergic reaction we had them send records to APH and they called us to check on her. They are great at giving reminders when important checkups and tests are due, and their fees are reasonable. Their facility is always clean. I've recommended APH to several friends. I wish Dr. England hadn't left the practice, since she was our favorite, but Dr. Harris is also very good. read more

Our 10yr old boxer had a mass/tumor removed very recently. Less than 24 hrs of being home a large amount of blood was draining out of a "new" area under his bandages. Fearing a stitch had ruptured I rushed him back to Academy Pet Hospital. I was told there were no Veterinarians available, to take him to an alternate location (which I believed to be an associated clinic). It wasn't. I went back to Academy Pet Hospital and asked if they could call the Vet or an on-call Vet. They simply said that wasn't an option. They offered to change the bandage for $65, however IF there was a broken stitch I would STILL have to rush him to the emergency clinic. Frustrated at their lack of compassion I took him home. Removed the bandages and realized it was a 2nd drainage tube the blood was seeping from. Relieved, I re-bandaged him. Due to Academy Pet Hospital's irresponsible and lack of specific discharge instructions, (no one told us where the 2nd drainage tube was located) our dog was moved in 100 degree heat back and forth instead of resting and healing from the pain of a 12 inch incision surgery. We will NEVER return. read more

I have been taking my fur children (dogs) here for a year and half. I feel blessed to have hit the nail on the head with my first vet experience since moving to ABQ. Their prices are reasonable (they are always upfront about what any treatment will cost) and the doctors (Harris and Neary) are caring and knowledgeable-they are also honest about the best course of treatment and do not order unnecessary tests (I've had some bad vet clinic experiences in another city far far away). The ladies at the front desk are always happy to see my pups and my pups also like the techs (Logan and Rachelle obviously love animals)-they always play music/offer small chicken pieces to try to keep my pug calm. Also, should you feel like taking your dog out to lunch after his or her appointment, Gecko's is across the street and has a dog friendly patio (win-win). read more

The staff is sweet and helpful and the doctors are so great at explaining what is going on with my pets and giving options to choose what is right for them and my family. I like that they can see my birds for beak and wing care as well as my dogs. My macaw has been always scared when his beak gets reshaped but he is the most calm here than anywhere! I have tried other vet clinics in the past and either didn't like their docs or their prices. It was also hard to find a clinic that would see my birds. I have finally found a clinic that I am happy with everything! read more

After using other vet practices for a few years we found Dr. Harris at Academy Pet Hospital and we have definitely found our "family vet." I gave the practice a 4-star rating simply because I never do 5's since nobody is perfect. One of my dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes and Dr. Harris has been very compassionate and helpful as I adjust to the new conditions we're dealing with. Her staff is the best! read more

We were in from out of town and our dog escaped and injured her arm. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. We were in and out within an hour with a new stent in place. The vet took the time to explain everything she was doing and what to do at home. A wonderful experience for an unfortunate reason. read more
