I highly recommend NVC day team for care and surgery- they were professional and gave us all of the information we needed, and Niki even called several times during the process with updates, and followed up with us several times after surgery to make sure our boy is doing well! I don't know what I would do without the big hearts of people like that! Thank you for all you do Niki and for NVC helping us get Bandit back home!

I waited several weeks before writing this review so I could evaluate the experience as objectively…read moreas possible. Summary I brought a pregnant dam to this clinic for an emergency C-section after labor stalled. The initial surgery resulted in severe internal bleeding that required a second emergency surgery later the same day by a different surgeon to save her life. Communication throughout the process was poor, and my dam and puppies were kept at the clinic for more than 24 hours. After discharge, the puppies were significantly underweight, dehydrated, and in poor condition. All puppies contracted canine parvovirus despite the dam being fully vaccinated. Full Experience We recently relocated our kennel to the area and had a large-breed dam whose labor stalled approximately three hours after delivering her first puppy. The emergency clinic we had previously vetted was closed, so out of necessity I brought her to NVC at approximately 4:00 a.m. on 5/5/2026. After the initial examination, bloodwork, radiographs, and ultrasound, Dr. James Longoria recommended proceeding with a C-section. He assured me that he routinely performed C-sections and spays and advised that spaying during the final C-section would be more cost-effective. Before surgery, I specifically asked whether oxytocin would be administered in an attempt to stimulate labor before performing surgery. I was told it would be. However, the medical records I later received contain no indication that oxytocin was ever administered. I was also told my dog would be seen immediately. Instead, the surgery began significantly later than I was led to expect. Around the time I had been told discharge would occur, I returned to the clinic and was informed that my dog was still in surgery. When I questioned the delay, I was told the procedure was taking longer because of the size of the blood vessels that needed to be closed. During this time, staff asked me to bring in the puppy that had already been delivered at home so it could nurse with the dam and litter. Believing this would be in the puppies' best interest, I agreed. Several hours later, after repeated attempts to obtain updates, I received a call from lead surgeon Dr. Brady Hanson requesting permission to take my dog back into surgery because she was not doing well. I immediately consented. Dr. Hanson later informed me that he had found multiple sites of internal bleeding and had to perform emergency corrective surgery. He also administered multiple blood transfusions. In my opinion, Dr. Hanson saved my dog's life. He communicated clearly, acted decisively, and was transparent about what had occurred. For that, I am genuinely grateful. Unfortunately, communication from the clinic as a whole remained poor throughout the remainder of the hospitalization. I repeatedly called seeking updates and was consistently told that the puppies were doing well and nursing normally. I specifically asked whether puppy weights were being monitored to ensure proper neonatal development and was told that they were. On 5/6/2026, I was finally told I could pick up the dam and puppies. Upon discharge, I was shocked by the condition of the puppies. They were significantly underweight, dehydrated, and appeared to have received inadequate care during their first 32 hours of life. When I requested their birth weights, I was informed that puppy weights were not recorded because only the dam was considered the patient. This directly contradicted what I had previously been told when I specifically asked whether weights were being monitored. Every puppy developed canine parvovirus. Because the dam was fully vaccinated and we've never had parvo in our program, I can only speculate as to how this occurred. My concern is that the puppies may not have received adequate nursing and colostrum during their critical first hours of life, especially given the dam's medical complications and need for a second surgery. Regardless of the cause, I spent the next three weeks providing around-the-clock intensive care to save the litter. Thankfully, all puppies survived with the guidance and treatment provided by my regular veterinarian. Final Thoughts My total bill was $5,212. The clinic did not charge me for the second surgery that was required to correct the complications from the first procedure. The financial cost, however, pales in comparison to the time, emotional stress, and ongoing expense of managing a parvovirus outbreak and decontaminating our home and kennel property. While I am thankful to Dr. Hanson for saving my dog's life, my overall experience with this clinic was deeply disappointing. Between the surgical complications, inconsistent communication, conflicting information regarding puppy care, and the condition of the puppies at discharge, I cannot recommend this facility. If faced with another emergency, I would choose to drive to Houston or to a 24-hour clinic across the Louisiana border rather than return here.

I've gone to McGowan vet a couple times because my dog has a tumor and I was gonna get him neutered but the first time I went in for an exam they checked him out and charged me the money for the exam then they proceeded to setup an appointment for his surgery date. when the time for his surgery came around I went into the exam room before the took him in to get surgery and they took his blood and told me that his blood was to thin to do surgery so then they proceeded to give me a prescription for him to take for couple weeks and they charged me again and set back the appt for a month and they had told me that it's normal and that it happens all the time that they have to give dogs that medicine and send them home so I proceeded to tell them that if it's normal why didn't they do that in the beginning when I first came in to set up an appointment for his surgery so I wouldn't have to take him home for a whole month and they couldn't give me a straight answer and so I took him home and two weeks after he had been home he started to mess with the tumor (licking it) so I called the vet and asked if they could move his appointment sooner because my dog looked like he was in pain and they moved the surgery date sooner and that was the end of that after a week or so that I had called them one day he started crying really loud and started licking his tumor and I noticed that it started to bleed so I called McGowan vet and told them what was happening and they said that they could set up an appointment for another exam before his surgery so I then took him to his exam that they had set for him and the only thing they did was looked at him said " yep it's starting to bleed and needs to be taken care of " she proceeded to do nothing but tell me that I already had a date set for the 10th which I had already known i took him in because they said they could do something so the only thing they did was tell me the date of the surgery and charged me once again (they did absolutely nothing) so then I came home and 1 day before his surgery they call me and canceled his surgery due to a inconvenience they had and told me to call dowlan veterinary hospital instead I then proceeded to tell them that I've spent so much money with them already for countless and POINTLESS exams and that if that money could be transferred to dowlan veterinary hospital or get my money back because now I have to redo all those exams and with another vet since they had an inconvenience and my dog NEEDS the surgery asap they then said no they can't and I told them so all that money that I had given yall was pointless the only thing she could say was "sorry" and hung up.

To make a long story short, if you plan to be seen at this clinic, be sure to show up in a chipper mood. After waiting over 30 minutes to be triaged (totally okay with me as I understand there are always animals with greater needs than mine), I was met by a technician who wAs a bully, verbally abusive, and literally told me that because I was being "rude" that my dog would "have to wait a lot longer". Mind you, my dog had been attacked and had multiple lacerations to her neck. He was looking at my dog laying down in the back of my SUV while telling me that I have a bad attitude and that he was putting her at the bottom of the list. Behind a dog that had an inflamed eye. This is NOT how triage works. The fact that this technician, Jason, punished my pet because I didn't feel the need to coddle his emotional instability is absolutely ridiculous. Nobody comes to the ER vet having a good day. I can handle him being rude to me, but punishing my injured family member out of spite is poor ethical practice among many other things. Please know that if I was a man, he would have NEVER spoken to me this way. I'm a 32 year old female, and was alone and scared. Apparently my tone was not to his liking. Included is a picture of what another practice did to help my dog. Just to clarify that this was more than a small wound. Yes, I had to leave and find somewhere else because he left me outside after looking at my dog. He went in and put her chart away to punish me. He did all of this while we were alone in the parking lot. I have never in my life had a grown man condescend me and speak to me this way. I'm an RN and deal with rude patients daily, but this doesn't change the fact that I am there to help them. If I behaved in the manner he did, I would lose my license and be fired. It's abuse. Plain and simple. Against me and my animal. Also, check out their other yelp page. They have two! The other also has similar bad experience.
