    After an accident, we had to rush our furry boy into NVC. I'm giving 4 stars because the emergency…read morenight clinic bled us dry and left my daughter sitting there for 5 hrs, not having very many answers or explanations, telling us it would be around $15,000 for this surgery...and not being super clear about what to expect. They would get a 2 star (only because they did give him pain meds & let him stay there the night) But...ln came the sun! Niki & the rest of the staff on day crew here at NVC took amazing care of our Bandit! 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 had nothing but wonderful experiences since becoming a client at Delaware Animal Clinic. Every…read morevisit leaves me feeling well taken care of, educated, and genuinely supported. The team communicates clearly and follows up, which gives me so much peace of mind as a pet owner. I especially want to recognize Reagan at the front desk. Over the past few weeks, while some of the vets were out of town, she consistently followed up, kept me informed, and made sure I understood the next steps in my cat's care. Even when I was feeling emotional, she handled everything with professionalism, warmth, and true compassion -- which meant more than she probably knows. They're now helping coordinate a referral to a dermatologist for my cat's skin and allergy issues, and I'm incredibly grateful for the thorough care throughout this process. I highly recommend Delaware Animal Clinic to anyone looking for a team that truly cares. -Jennie

    I've been taking my cat to DAC since he was a kitten. Facility is nice and new and the staff was…read morealways friendly and helpful. As other reviewers state, they are rather expensive, but I have great pet insurance and I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" so I never shopped around for a cheaper place since I was happy with their care. Always had a good experience with them until recently. I don't know what has happened, but this is my third time in the last year to have an issue getting an appointment. No one ever answers the phone anymore and when I leave (numerous) messages they never get a response. Last time my cat was sick and I called because the course of treatment wasn't working, the receptionist told me a vet tech would call me right back. Never heard a word from them and ended up bringing him to another vet. Not wanting to start over with a new vet I tried calling when it was time for his annual wellbeing check and vaccines. Never got a call back and ended up at another vet again. Today was the last straw. Cat has been vomiting since 11:00pm last night. I called today and left messages twice with no response. I will be taking him elsewhere from now on. Not sure what happened, but if you're thinking about becoming a client of theirs I would think twice. There are still plenty of vets in Beaumont that actually answer their phones and return your call.

    Took our Shepard mix in for a check up. When it came to blood work, they literally held her down to…read moredraw blood. Our baby wasn't having it. They said it's to prevent a bite. Our dog has NEVER bit anyone, EVER, but anccording to this licensed Vet it's because "she's older now.". She's only 6. She knows her commands. Sits, lays and "all the way" which is her laying flat on her side, and then some. When asked for a treat to help her not focus on the shot and have her do the commands the vet said "we don't reward bad behavior." Dog was brought for a callous on her elbow. I'm a big believer on energy, and my dog wasn't feeling this place at all, for whatever reason. I've never had a vet hold any of my dogs down for blood work. I'm talking pure bred European Dobermans, Mals and much more "intimidating" breeds than a Shepard mix. If you're worried about a bite, put a muzzle on or refuse service. You don't hold the dog down, when worried about a bite. Very weird experience, however they didn't charge us, as nothing was done, and we will continue going to the vet we used prior. Came here because we just moved to this area and it saved us a drive but it didn't spare my dog any. We'll continue to make an hour round trip for a vet who can handle our beloved dog with care and doesn't put her in fight or flight mode for simply drawing blood.
