Malpractice vet recommended minor surgery to remove small lump on Derrick's leg, She botched the procedure and caused blood clots in is lungs. My therapy dog died a slow painful death, I could not get a straight answer and figured this out later,. I brought in a Border Collie found on the road and asked if she was pregnant ? Vet alison said no and vaccinated her. I week later she had six puppies and then died of auto immune disease. YOU DON''T VACINATE ANYTHING PREGNANT . .VERY BAD VET . . . read more

Took my 19 year old cat Neelix in due to digestive issues. The office staff was kind and considerate and Dr Allison was very thorough.

While visiting Branson Missouri from out of state, our dog developed a mild ear infection - perhaps from having so much fun swimming in the lake every day :-). Not sure who to call, so of course asked "Google" and found the Animal Care Clinic. So glad I made the decision to take our shepherd-mix there for treatment! This was hands-down one of the best experiences I've had with a veterinary clinic in 30+ years of having pets. To sum it up: experienced, personable, and efficient. The trains run on time here and I was so impressed to be immediately greeted and taken to the treatment room right on time. Exam and treatment promptly completed and Animal Care Clinic followed up next day. Really felt our dog was in great hands here - highly recommend. read more

***Edit: I contacted another vet who assured me that what Dr. Alison and her tech did is NOT standard procedure nor acceptable practice at all and that they don't treat their clients like dognappers. So I now have a new vet*** Im a first time puppy owner (though I do have older pets) and made an appointment for my dog for his wellness visit and to get established. I chose this vet because I assumed the downtown Branson location would mean more quality care. Wrong. I was asked to email them a copy of his records from his first vet visit from our breeder for proof of his first vaccines days before I arrived and I did so and filled out all the paperwork and history online. When we got to the appointment, the tech asked a few questions and said for me to take his leash off. Then she went to get Dr. Alison Barolich. When both came in, the second the door shut they had my puppy pushed against the wall with their legs and the tech was frantically scanning my dogs neck for a microchip before I could even utter a word! The vet hadnt even introduced herself yet and certainly didnt ask my permission! I gawked at them, like WTH are you even doing?! Then the vet asked if my dog was microchipped. I said "um..no." And the tech replied "yeah well we didnt find one." What the hell am I suppose to say to that? So basically right off the bat I was made to feel like just a potential dog thief. Was I not dressed well enough? Didnt look like I could afford my dog? What? Im not okay with that. At all. You cant just randomly treat your clients as potential thieves. I will be checking Missouri laws but I know for a fact that is illegal in surrounding states for vets to scan clients dogs without their permission. I went ahead and let them finish the wellness visit. I was pretty stunned the rest of the visit. But I wont be going back and will warn everyone I know away from them. Plenty of respectful vets and staff out there to choose from that arent policing our pets and I wont be paying a vet to treat me like a criminal. I was told my pup looked very healthy. So he didnt look neglected or stray or stolen. Abysmal behavior. Also even though I was asked to email the pups records, the tech informed me at the end that they didnt bother looking at them. read more

Dr Allison is nice and caring but her technician is rude and condescending. My dog had kidney disease and they prescribed her terrible canned food full of fake ingredients and coloring so I diligently researched a better diet for her, only to be chastised by the arrogant technician that she knew better than I did. When I questioned her about the nutritional value of their canned crap they wanted to sell me, she said arrogantly "we're not experts on nutrition here but we plan to take classes." I never went back and my dog's kidneys levels improved despite her telling me they would only get worse and I should just plan on that. Terrible experience. read more

I do not know what Julie B.'s problems were, but I believe that Dr. Allison and her staff are dedicated, loyal and knowledgable folks, who really care for your pets. I have never had an issue of any kind. I recently adopted a new pup, and he will be seeing this establishment for all his needs. We have followed Dr. Allison from a previous clinic, because she knew what was wrong with our last Siberian Husky without even a complete exam. She is gentle with the pets, as is her staff. You won't fine a more caring group of people, that are very skilled, to care for your fur babies. Maybe if Julie B and others would make sure they leave home a few minutes early, so they can arrive in time for their appointment, there would not be any issues like this. I am on time for my appointment always, and in most instances received by the receptionist immediately. read more

This review isn't based off of the service I received here. Im from out of town and needed to get my dog looked at. I called Animal Care Clinic and they didn't have any openings. The receptionist was so caring/friendly and asked what area we were from and looked up 3 other clinics numbers closer to me. I just thought that was so nice she went above and beyond to help me, even though we wouldn't be able to go to their clinic. read more

My fur-babies and I love Dr. Allison and her staff. There are never any concerns that I feel I can't discuss with her. She always listens, I never feel rushed, and she understands that no one knows their pet quite as well as the pet-owner themselves. We been coming to the clinic since we moved here in 2014. The staff is always very professional and caring. I highly recommend Animal Care Clinic. read more

When I've called Animal Care Clinic in Branson, MO. The receptionist was kind and polite and scheduled me as soon as she could at the same day, for my little maltese dog. She informed me very well about the clinic times and I've already red how good this place is, from Google search, so I came very prepared, and was not disappointed. The staff was very kind and caring. The doctor was very attentive and nice. I received all the information I needed and was very well taken care of by the staff that really took very good care of my Dixie dogie. I was very impressed with their timing, and excellent performance and how officiant they operate. they even had the electronic machine in the private room, for payment, so I didn't have to wait on a long line to be able to pay. (like in other places that I had to). They make it so easy and convenient that it was a pleasure to do business with them and feel so well taking care of. I'll definitely recommend them to any body that is looking for a great service, experienced doctors and friendly staff to deal with. I can't wait for my next appointment with this great clinic to come again with my little baby (dogie) and I'm sure I'll be very happy again with their kind and great care of their wonderful staff and best doctors! Thanks a lot for giving me the opportunity to be your client and give my Dixie the best possible treatment that she really enjoyed very much too! read more

Animal Care Clinic is NOT the best place to take your animals! I had an appointment scheduled and arrived a few minutes late. I was told that my cat would not be seen and I would have to reschedule. As I stood there surprised, I reminded them that I was only a few minutes late from the time I was scheduled, the staff only continued to show rudeness and obviously no compassion for the animal! After checking out other animal clinics and doing research, there are better places to take loved pets. Most, if not all, are more caring, definitely have better customer service, and have better prices, along with consideration of family needs as well as the animal's well-being. Be smart...avoid Animal Care Clinic! You will save a lot of money, plus get better service with sincerely caring people if you choose another vet clinic. Animal Care Clinic is in it for the money! The staff is inconsiderate and rude and do not have the best interest of the animals. read more
