I have been seeing Dr. Pointer at Barry County Vets for the last 4 or 5 years. He has always been attentive to a pet owner that CARES for her pets greatly. Vets like him are hard to find. The prices here are reasonable also. Thanks again for all you do, Dr. Travis. Carroll Miller read more

I will never use them again!!!! We have been using them for years and then we had a horse that had a broken leg. We called them and talked with Dr. Pointer. He was so RUDE! We told him that we had a horse we thought broke his leg. We asked him if he could come out. He asked who we were and we told him. He said he would not come out. I was stunned!! Why? I asked. He said he could not do anything for him if his leg was broke. We said well you could put him down, so he would not have to suffer all night. He refused...........He said we weren't current customers, which is a lie, we've used them for years. I have been calling the office ever since, 4 days now trying to contact David Cupps. They promised he would return my call everyday. He NEVER did. Be careful! Too many vets around to have to put up with this crap. I just hope they don't do this to any other animal read more

If I could give them a negative 5, I would! They dispensed a CONTROLLED substance to my dog that would have killed him, had I not noticed that the medication was not correct! THEN, gave me a 30 day supply and with 5 refills. When I went to get a script to take to the local store to fill, they would not give me refills and told me that the vet that prescribed it was no longer there and "the doctor does not feel comfortable prescribing what the other doctor did, without seeing the dog"... I get it, BUT they gave me 2 refills in the interim AND my dog has been on this medication for OVER A YEAR. Will be reporting them for the medication error and the practices of the clinic. My advise is to check the pill ID Online, before giving anything to your pet, that is dispensed at this office! If I was not on my game, the medication would have killed my dog! You all should be ashamed of the way you treat your patrons of over 8 years! And Debbie at the front desk is VERY unprofessional and rude! The ONLY reason I kept going back was for the Doctor! (who is no longer there.. and I see why he left) I will NEVER darken the doorstep to this office AGAIN! read more

Let me just start by saying that the good reviews that were written about this place are entirely fake and written by former employees trying to make this place seem a lot better than it is, other than that here's the story, I took my 2 5 month old puppies in to be neutered and spayed and that's about it, except it wasn't, not only were the staff completely negligent about informing us not to feed the dogs 12 hours before the surgery (which can lead to serious complications during the process) but when we called to ask how much it would be we were told since they were under 6 months old they got the puppy price, only to be extremely shocked when they rung up the total bill as we were leaving, almost $300, for.... "puppy price" obviously that's a lie because puppy price was $60-70, and looking at the receipt they were each around $120-$140, yeah I'm sorry but that's pretty far of a stretch from $60 to $120 at the least for EACH puppy, and it would have been alright if they hadn't actually lied to our faces and said it was going to be $60 each puppy, not only that but when we brought them in the morning they had both of us walk our dogs back into the kennel (yes they physically had us walk through the vet office to the back (which walks directly passed a small room that's OPEN AND EXPOSED to every thing in the area, where they are CURRENTLY in the process of spaying a cat, directly in front of us, at this point I wanted to leave but I was not well aware that we were being lied to in the moment about the price and it was the only vet in the area since the areas are fairly deserted. Walked into a room that was probably 15x 7.5 ft with at least 5 built in kennels with other separate kennels that owners had brought, I had to squeeze around the door to get my dogs in, and then there was nothing but cold concrete on the floor with no beds, no toys, no anything actually, except 8 other distressed animals crowded in the same space, I was very relieved to get them out of there when it was done and get the hell out of that place, but I sat and waited patiently for the "staff" to bring the two puppies back to the waiting room where my husband and I were, and then we were handed the leashes with the puppies on them and that was it, they basically just looked at us like "...okay...bye" and said nothing, they didn't have a vet explain that they would be drowsy from the medication or what we should do if the stitches get ripped open, they didn't tell us how long it'll take for it to heal or what it'll look like if it starts to get infected, it's absolutely infuriating to know that this facility gives absolutely zero shits about animals and assuring or even just INFORMING the owners, I wish I could be saying this because of strictly This experience, but when the vet "checked" all the ears, nose, throat, and eyes, she somehow missed a giant tick that was on her ear that I spotted right before she started the process, and now to find out my mother in law got her puppy spayed there a week ago or so and she said they too didn't speak to her at all about the process, what to do before the surgery and what to expect after, and now her dog has to go outside to pee every 40 minutes and pees like 3 times everytime he goes out, so she's guessing it's either still very swollen or someone at the vet nic'd a tube or messed up somewhere, either way I know we're both never coming back to this placed, make sure you check ALL the reviews not just the good ones because I promise you'll end up regretting it, if you love your animals don't bring them to this place. read more

I took two young dogs here to be neutered and it was efficiently done at a fair price. (staff was very nice too) I left home at 5:30 am and drove 2 1/2 hours in order to patronize this establishment, rather than see a vet in the Branson area. Because of the price. BCVS is also a farm veterinarian service. They spay and neuter dogs and cats, but a large part of their practice is caring for livestock, while the vets in my citified neighborhood cater almost exclusively to house pets and their traumatized owners. Small pet practice is a different mindset that allows for a little extra salesmanship. When I called around Branson for price quotes, I was told over $200 per dog. Charges included: 1) Neutering, 2) Shots. It made no difference that I had bought all injections at the feed store and administered them myself when they were pups. I was told by vet receptionists Without Exception: Not good enough; we will inject them AGAIN and that will be another $40-$50 - or no deal. They absolutely won't operate unless you buy their shots (nice racket). The 3rd and final charge was $25 per dog for keeping the animal overnight for "observation" after surgery, also mandatory. We have been spaying and neutering our pets since the early '70's and overnight stays was never part of procedure till some smart fella thought of a way to bump up prices with little outlay of cost. Granted, not all surgeries are created equal. If your animal has a serious invasive surgery, by all means, he should be kept where medical attention can be administered as soon as possible - Of course. But! In this day and age, isn't outpatient surgery an everyday affair for HUMANS? Surely the average young healthy dog will survive a neuter. When called for a price quote, BCVS said: "Oh, you gave the immunizations? Ok. Um, no we don't keep them overnight. And that'll be $92.50 per dog at their (almost 50 lb.) weight. We were driving home after surgery by 11:30 am, the job well done, and saved over $200. And our pups are at home where we can baby them ourselves. I am so glad to have dealt with these cheerful, fair-dealing people who know their stuff. Just makes me feel better about people, you know? read more

I took a bull to Barry County vet because the bull poked something just under the eye, and his eye was turning white, Vet David Cupps looked at him and sewed his 2nd eyelid up. I asked the vet about some LA 300 (which is a antibiotic) he said no,( in my mind I said ok you are the vet.) When the stitch dissolved the eyelid opened up, the eye was so infected the bull lost the eye. David Cupps is to arrogant. The other veterinarians I will go to not Cupps. read more
