Dr. Groves is FANTASTIC. She took time to explain everything from medication to proper food choices and how to work towards getting my diabetic cats blood glucose in control. Most vets I feel tend to price gouge but, Dr. Groves seems to really care about helping to save money. She put extra effort to help save $ by printing out 3 different costs for medication and location where to get them. They took great care and I will be back. :) read more

Animal Birth Control - My healthy baby thanks to Dr. Groves. - Veterinarians Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've been using this location for affordable services for my senior dog who has chronic pain. The communication with this location is ridiculous and condescending. I went to pick up my dogs medication he DEPENDS ON - and was barely acknowledged let alone told that this is his last refill until he is seen by a Vet for a checkup. I find out when it's time for me to refill his medication. Appointments were already weeks out. I couldn't make it to this one due to work and trying to get someone to help me take him to this appointment for his medication already. After calling and speaking with a representative she basically said OH WELL. Next appointment is in July. So a whole month? What threw me off is the LACK of accountability from nobody letting me know that was his last refill. It's my "responsibility". How would I know if nobody informs me he needed an appointment. Would have BEEN scheduled that wtf. Def done with this place and don't recommend. read more

ABC Pet Care Clinic has been my dogs' regular pet clinic for the last four years. I had both of my dogs neutered and all physical exams done here. My dogs also get their vaccines at the central location. They keep it very affordable! Dr. McDole has been my dogs' provider ever since their first visit and is very professional. He has great bedside manner and explains everything thoroughly! He takes his time examining my animals during their check-ups and you can tell he cares about his patients. I brought my dog in for an x-ray and he had the technician take multiple x-rays, so he can give me a better diagnosis, at no-charge! The front desk and staff are also great! They happily greet me whenever I enter the clinic and are always prompt when checking me in. The technicians are very educational and informative when I have questions. I recommend this clinic to anyone looking for an affordable clinic with caring and kind providers and staff! read more

I took my dog to the ABC Low-Cost Pet Care Clinic on Craycroft and was deeply disappointed. Previously, I had gone to the ABC vaccination clinic on Broadway and had a positive experience, which is why I chose to try this particular clinic. The office visit/exam fee was $45. Normally, with any vet clinic, this would include palpation of the dog's body to assess organs and muscles. Normally, they also look in the pet's ears and eyes. Not so at ABC clinic. The vet assistant (the person who led me to the exam room) looked in one of my dog's ears as an afterthought just as she was leaving the room. I can't even say she looked. She pointed a device in the general direction of one ear and exited the room. The concerns I had listed on the form included dental, occasional limping, sensitivity when being picked up, occasional cough, paw-licking, etc, so I think a brief general physical exam was warranted. I also had asked for his nails to be clipped, but when they told me it was $25, I changed my mind. At the ABC vaccination clinic it was $20, and groomers usually charge $10. The vet looked in his mouth and listened to his heart with a stethoscope. She said he had a heart murmur. When I asked "What's that?" she shrugged and repeated "A heart murmur!" (like, duh, any idiot knows what a heart murmur is!) She then said that if his heart is enlarged, they would put him on meds, and if not, they could use anesthesia for dental surgery. I was consoling and holding my dog to keep him from jumping off the table and bolting, because he is terrified of vets and groomers. Therefore, I couldn't look up 'heart murmur' to determine its definition and implications until I got home. I know he had a very rapid heartbeat, because he was panicked just by being there. read more

The staff here is exceptional. I love having peace of mind when bringing my pet here. It's very easy to call and schedule appointments but please be mindful and schedule accordingly because they can get busy. My dog had his teeth cleaning here and it was the best. Can't beat the prices and care here! Even though we live 30 mins away we will be a returning client! read more

I take my dog and cat here and I love the doctors and staff and would recommend to anyone anytime; but there is the front desk clerk Samantha who is not personable at all. She was very rude and short with me when I was trying to make a follow up appointment and just wasn't sensitive to my situation at all. I get everyone has requests but there is a way to act in customer service and I have never wrote a review and am normally really understanding but she really rubbed the wrong way and it wasn't the first time unfortunately. Just completely rude and disappointing. Everything else is great though. read more

I have used ABC fo years, however this was my first dental experience with them. I am BEYOND pleased. They treated my pups with care and compassion. As some one who works with animals...I appreciate that. My pups both got dentals....and I was told they would need extractions when they were evaluated a couple months ago. Both of them are a bit over 7 YO, so bloodwork was needed, and I opted for IV fluid as well as X rays. I was expecting a total of 1200 to 1400 dollars fo both pup...as I was quoted. My total was 980.00 dollars....for BOTH pups to get dentals. No extractions needed. I got a call with an update in early afternoon telling me all had gone well. The staff went over the instructions after the dentals.....I paid. Then they carried my high as hell pups out to the car. The staff here REALLY care for the animals......and my respect fo them free a bit more after the pups dentals. Shout out to Shannon...the receptionist....as some one who is front line in my job dealing with the public....I APPRECIATE the patience and caring! read more

great staff, fully explained to me all my options and the prices were very good. My cat does not like being at the vet and needed sedation for his exam and vaccines. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely be coming back read more

I have used ABC for years! The staff have always been kind and helpful, reasonable prices, and reduced/sliding fees for those who meet certain income requirements. The only issue I ever had was one vet at the SW side could not/would not calculate medications for my Maine Coon (26 lbs, nose to tail is about 4' long). They kept giving me dosages for a normal sized cat (aprox 8-12 lbs). Other than that they are fantastic and are very affordable. read more

Doctor Grove has given our English Bulldog the best care. We use to take him to a nearby Animal Hospital that only appeared to care about the money and not the dog. The hospital wanted to perform costly but not necessary surgery on our dogs leg. We didn't bring him there because of his leg, we brought him there because he was really sick and could barely breath. We did not think he would live much longer, so they recommended that we should think about "end of life" options. We then decided to take Dozer the Bulldog to ABC on Craycroft Road to see if they could do anything for his extremely labored breathing problem. Dr. Grove really cared about making him better and prescribed medicine that really turned him around and he is now almost back to his old self. Dr Grove also recommended getting a brace for his leg (something the hospital never mentioned to us). We are very thankful to Dr. Grove and all the staff at Animal Birth Control as they were all amazing. read more

Animal Birth Control - Dozer. Our 8 year old English Bulldog - Veterinarians Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've always had a positive experience here. The staff are super nice and I feel my pets are well cared for. I had to put my 16 year old dog down a few months ago and had 2 doctors and a vet tech in the room with me and my family. I felt touched that they were crying alongside us. read more

Our appointment was at 8:15, we were early. They were late. Forty-five minutes late. We have been coming to this place for five years. We have always have our three dogs immunizations done here. One of our babies has a dietary problem which requires her to eat special prescription food. She even had a very expensive surgery by a specialist. Kidney stones and bladder crystals sometimes UTIs. So when it is time to have her yearly exam for the prescription food we have been bringing her here (for five years) because of course it is less expensive than real veterinarians. These people have a five year record of examinations, prescription records and immunizations. The doctor comes in and immediately demands a urine test even after she is informed that she had two urine tests done five and six months ago with a real vet. We provided her staff with the name of the vet where the tests were performed and reiterated that we come here every year for this exam. The so called vet here said they need to know why she needs the prescription food. We politely asked her to check the records (past five years remember) as I am sure they don't issue prescriptions without the reason why. The so called vet ran out of the room without any explanation. The vet tech then came back with the news that her real doctor was in surgery and could not send her records. Really, it takes a doctor to fax a dogs medical records? With this being said I asked the third person to enter the room "what does your medical records say"? Apparently they did not say why they prescribed the prescription food. Of course we told her and of course this was not sufficient information for her. We are very upset about this whole deal because we believe that the so called vet was only trying to pad our bill with unnecessary tests. We had to leave without any prescription for our baby. read more

This is a shout-out and great big THANK YOU!! to Dr. Groves at ABC/Craycroft. She's the best and I say this having owned many, many pets over the years. My dog is 12 1/2 and has dementia, resulting in sundowner's syndrome. Just like humans, this causes her to panic and pace starting in late afternoon. It's just awful. Well, Dr. Groves called me (yes - she called me!) with suggestions of meds to try. She went through the list and determined not only the best option for us but where I could purchase it for the most reasonable price at a local pharmacy. Who does that these days? I appreciate her compassion and her skill so very, very much. ABC is fortunate to have her on board and so am I! read more

Be prepared that first come first serve is not true at all I was there at 745am for opening by 9am the second person in line knowing it was going to get busy and I still needed to be at work (had asked my supervisor if it was alright to be late) and the staff comes out at 845 to start checking people in when I explained it was my first time at this location I was told to go to the end of the line which now had over 25 people and my dog was getting very anxious with all the other animals. read more

Great receptionists, great techs, and great vets. Last year I had to let one of my babies go to the rainbow bridge. They were all very compassionate and Rhea went in peace. She'd been having some difficulties for a couple years. Other places ran tests and they all came back normal. Here they ran tests that they wouldn't normally do with a 4 year old and found the cause. Letting go of a baby I saved from death as a kitten, one who had a larger than life personality even though she was tiny, was so so hard. But at least we knew what was killing her in the end. read more

These guys are amazing. We've used them for multiple surgeries and other needs. Very friendly and fees are presented up front. This week we had our first elderly dog go down after 13 years with us. The staff here was very kind during the process of putting him down and talking about options. We selected a premium service with ashes in urn and paw print plaque along with end of life service it was very reasonably priced at $160. The sympathy they displayed along with a beautiful card we got in the mail was well worth it. Thanks for your awesome service Double Thumbs Up read more

Animal Birth Control - Check In - Veterinarians Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I've found my new vet for my pups. I took both my pups in to Dr. McDole for a pre-dental check up. He informed me that neither needed the procedure at this time and to wait a year. I really appreciated this versus spending $500 each if it wasn't needed yet. I wish I got the vet tech's name because she was great with my pups. The staff were all friendly and the cost is very reasonable. read more

Terrible people in front office. I was treated very badly by the office manager Kami. I'm sure this behavior is indicative of the same treatment they gave my sweet dog, Cooper. They claim to be an inexpensive birth control clinic, when in fact they are rude money grubbers. Insensitivity should never be tolerated in a business where people should be loving. read more

For service 5 stars! Also, for price. Neuter, rabies, pain meds, and microchip for $135? Heck yeah! The waiting room feels like a Tijiauna jail, but I gueses it's worth it to save big bucks. Everyone was kind, and polite. No appointment for shot clinic. read more

Absolutely amazing!! I took my dog for an ear infection & they were great! I have a trouble with my dog as he's very reactive & aggressive but they took such great care of him & were very patient. Highly recommend! read more

Very upset with the service! If i could leave a lower rate for a review i would. My cat was unnecessarily cut on his leg and has a huge scar that i just found on him. I took him to the vet out of concern and ended up paying $100 for somebody's carelessness. Will not be returning here ever and do not recommend at all. Not to mention a horrible manager at that! read more

Animal Birth Control - This us my poor cats scar that they left. The vet had to shave him to properly be able to see what was on his leg. - Veterinarians Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

We started taking our dog here last fall when she got a corneal ulcer on her eye. Dr. Rice and the staff were wonderful with her. I often had to wait quite awhile to be seen for our appointments, but it's because he is thorough and you never feel like you're rushed. He tried several different paths of treatment and finally helped us come up with a course of drops where our dog wasn't in any pain, even though the eye didn't want to completely heal. Fast forward a few months and our dog is having great pain with the eye and not eating/drinking well. An ER vet clinic had prescribed some meds and referred us to a specialist. We couldn't get into the specialist for a day and our pet was in great pain. I called ABC to see if there was any way possible she could be seen, in order to give us something to help with the pain until we could get into the specialist the next day. At first I was told there were no openings, but they called back a couple of minutes later and said he'd take a look at her if we could get there in the next 20 minutes. He was so kind and gentle when he examined her. He wanted to do some bloodwork and said we could take that with us to the specialist the next day. Unfortunately the bloodwork showed kidney failure. He gave her some shots for the eye pain and we scheduled a time the next day to say goodbye to her. That news was unexpected and shocking, but I was so glad it came from Dr. Rice. The whole staff was compassionate and considerate when we went in the next day. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a vet. read more

This clinic is as good as most but a bit more economical. They don't overcharge and usually are under what their initial estimates are. The staff are pleasant and helpful and overall it is a good place to take your pet. read more

They are generally good and certainly more affordable than other places. All the docs, however, are not. For example, they may be good with animals, but have AWFUL people skills. So I just avoid them and ask for someone else. read more

After reading the reviews, it is clear to me that this place was once a good business in Tucson, but not anymore!!! Some of the worst customer service I have ever witnessed or experienced! The owner, Shane (female) is a real piece of work to boot! When I called her, she blamed my wife and myself for all of her problems! What a joke!!! Go anywhere else! Avoid at all costs, they don't care!!! Instead of giving my puppy shots, they ran me off because they didn't have time. Optionally, I could wait endlessly and 'see' if they could squeeze me in! No thanks. Shane pretended like she cared in the beginning, but then quickly changed her story! She is rude and it is clear that her staffs lousy attitudes stem from her lousy attitude!!! read more

Animal Birth Control of Tucson provides an amazing service model. http://www.animalbirthcontroltucson.com/ At separate times, I've had one cat spayed, one cat neutered and one dog spayed with ABC. They can also declaw and offer shots at the same time. I had the three pets micro-chipped. They offer the most affordable animal fixing services I have ever seen. Prices may change since I write this, but here is a sample: Cat Spay $58, Cat Neuter $29, Dogs $75-99. I like that they post all of their prices right on their web site. Vaccinations are only $10/each and they have walk-in times. Their prices are cheap enough for individuals to bring in strays and contribute to controlling the animal population. My last 2 cats arrived as starving kittens in the neighborhood that someone let loose. Please, please fix your animals and consider capturing strays and donating your time/money to go and get them fixed. Remember.... Bob Barker, The Price is Right: "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered." ABC is a great service for Tucson. The staff and vets really seem to do it for the heart of it. By the sheer volume of procedures they do, they must be the most experienced vets in fixing animals. I only wish there was primary vet care that was as competitive in price as ABC (Animal Birth Control of Tucson) is. They have two locations: Animal Birth Control of Tucson, Inc East Location 1114 S. Craycroft Tucson, AZ 85711 Phone: 520-745-4564 Animal Birth Control Spay Neuter Clinic South Location 1710 W. Valencia Rd.

Abc low cost clinic what a joke. I went there because my dog hurt his leg. They said o he has valley fever. Wtf. He will be on medications for 2 years and the cost is 110.00 a month for those medications. So they give me a slew a tests costing 379.00 which I could not afford. I choose just to do the blood test to see if he had it or not. So 9 days later I call and 181.00 later and no there's no valley fever Do not visit this clinic plus they were only 11.00 less then a normal vet. They are on craycroft and 22nd stay away. read more

Although this place is always packed, the staff is always extremely efficient. I get my girls' shots here when I forget to make an appointment with their vet, and their due dates are near. Lines are long, first come, first served style. It is a shot clinic, so don't expect too much. That's how their prices are so reasonable ! I love that this place exists, because it allows owners to be responsible without the high vet costs being in the way. read more

I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place! My Dog went in for a neutering. Came out with 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his scrotum. They said oh thats normal bruising. I now have more of a vet bill than if I had just went to my regular vet! In the dirst place! Dont cheap out- it cost your dog and you. They should reimburse me for the additional vet bill and give me my money back for injuring my dog! read more

Worst place i've ever been to. Don't go there unless you have plenty of time to sit around waiting, EVEN WITH AN APPOINTMENT! No water for my dog either. I had to call them twice while waiting in my car to remind them i was there to get in, then waiting more in the room while my poor dog paced and barked the whole time. Had to knock on the door to find out what was going on. Vet finally came in and argued with me. I left!!! read more

The shot clinic is what you pay for: it can be a long wait (1-2 hours) since you don't make an appointment and they take you and your pet first come, first serve. However, this fact is off-set because it's the most affordable place in town. To pass the time, grab a Little Caesar's pizza from next door and/or a lap dance from the strip club to the north. ;) We also had our cat spayed here, and we were pleased with the service she received and the out-of-pocket cost. read more

This review is a bit overdue, but here goes: I got my dog Red when she was two months old. Being a young kid on a budget, I took her to ABC to get everything taken care of. Yes, the waiting room was a bit crowded, but the service was always superb. Being a puppy, I had to take her back a few times for different shots. Each time the staff was friendly and helpful. Yes the exams during the vaccinations are very basic, but that's what I expected. When it came time to get my baby fixed, ABC took the utmost care of her and even put up with her cage aggression. They were very explicit in their aftercare instructions and she recovered beautifully. Now my baby is all grown up and healthy. I have ABC to partly thank for that. The reality is that if you choose to own a pet, you need to take responsibility and take care of them. That being said, it's understandable that a lot of people cannot afford $400+ vet bills just for vaccinations and spaying. That's why I think ABC is a wonderful asset to our community. They make it possible for all of us to make sure our babies are taken care of, even in the toughest of times. read more

I walked in 15 minutes before closing, and the line was out the door - the staff warned me it'd be a 45 minute wait, but in 20 minutes I was already paying for my Pomeranians shots and out the door.

Prices are great, Definitely recommend read more

The staff at Animal Birth Control once again showed us how compassionate and professional a very busy clinic is when we lost our rescue dog Katie to valley fever. Katie passed away at home early Saturday morning. Because of the valley fever I was told we should not bury her in our yard. I called Animal Birth Control and the receptionist was very sweet offering different solutions for cremation. When my husband got to the clinic with Katie they came to the car to take her and genuinely cared. A few days later we received a sympathy card in the mail. They don't take advantage of pet owners with inflated prices and have a very qualified staff. Katie was one of five dogs so our vet bills can be expensive. Will always highly recommend Animal Birth Control. read more
