We were introduced to Cerbat Cliffs Animal Hospital during an emergency visit for our cat, Beggar. Dr. Madelyn made such a wonderful impression on us that we immediately switched to her permanently. She and the entire team helped us navigate the challenges of caring for a diabetic cat, and every staff member has treated us with kindness and patience. Vet care can be expensive when you're living on Social Security, so we were especially grateful for the senior discount they offer. It truly made a difference. Recently, we had to bring Beggar in for another emergency visit. Dr. Veronica gently explained that he had only weeks to live due to cancer. We were faced with the heartbreaking decision to let him go. Dr. Veronica and the staff were incredibly compassionate--no pressure, no rushing--just honest answers and support as we tried to understand what Beggar would go through if we took him home. About a week later, we received a card from them that was so thoughtful it brought us to tears all over again. You won't find a better veterinary team. We highly recommend them. read more

Thank you to all the staff at Cerbat Animal Hospital for the great care, support and love you gave to my cat in his final hours of life on 1/20/26. I'm so thankful you were able to see my cat on a moments notice even when you were already booked and my cat didn't need to suffer any longer waiting to be seen when he was severely ill and had a lifetime of urinary blockage and infections. You treated my cat and myself with the upmost compassion and caring hearts! I highly recommend Dr. Welter and the entire team for the work they do. Thank you also for the beautiful sympathy card and paw print too!! read more

My 9 y/o Queensland Heeler developed inflammatory colitis after ingesting a large number of honey bees that had invaded his water bowl while we were off-road in the Mojave Desert. No veterinarian anywhere in the Needles vicinity would see him on an urgent basis. However, Cerbat Cliffs Animal Hospital, in Kingman, Arizona was receptive and told me to drive over there right away. We received great care from Dr. Veronica Welter and the staff. I highly recommend this animal care facility. --Giuseppi Slater, M.D. read more

This is the worst vet iv ever been to. My 10 yr old male boxer was rattle snake bitten. They were the only vet that seemed to have room for an emergency like this ‍. But the care they provided was sub par to say the least. They gave an antibiotics &, pain shot along with a I.V fluid bag but said my dog did NOT need the anti-venom , I even questioned that twice as they treated him in the back ignoring my request to be with him while they treated him. I had been told the vet was going to just look at him real quick and they would come get me prior to treating him. Nope they left us in the waiting room and I asked the receptionist twice what was going on??. The vet came out after they brought my dog back to me and told me she did not think he needed the anti-venom while we stood in the receptionist /waiting area holding his leash. I was shocked. We had driven almost a hour to get there. The vet said if he was given anti venom that he would have to be observed by them for 2 hours. We were fine with both of those. But once more she said she didn't think he needed it. But never really said why. You can see there is no blood work done nor did they ask to do it. They sent us home with gabapentin & amoxicillin. The next morning he had lost control of his back end. He could not get up on his own we had to use a sling. I called the vet at 8am and left messages through out the day about him and that I was extremely concerned. The vet did not call me back to 5:08pm and said she wanted to add a additional antibiotic to his meds and see him ( I had been trying to get him in all day ) I finally started recording those conversations because it was so frustrated . They knew we lived a hour out from the vet office. I told them my husband would come for the meds. But DR Welter said they would be closed now. I asked them to turn the prescription into Walgreens and he would go there. We would come in and get the meds she wanted and refill the Gapapentin the next morning. When my husband got there they still did not have the Gapapentin filled and he had to wait. We're at the 3 week mark now they have never called since I spoke with the vet or texted to see how My dog is. I also had requested DEX ( it's a steroid a lot of vets give for a snake bite )to help him with his back end. Dr Welter said it was not indicated for a snake bite ‍ and yet a lot of vets have used it for years with a lot of success. I found the whole experience with them to be very unprofessional and downright unethical. The only good thing I can say is the first vet tech did try and give help. But I will never take another animal here. They don't honor their word of checking up on an animal they are treating , nor do they care. I believe my dog was just $$$ walking thru the door and they did the bare Minimum. I wish I could share the audios here to show the lack of their concern or willingness to care about a dog that was under their care. They did say call us if you see any changes. I did .... And they failed us, and my dog. read more

Have taken my cat here for years because they were her vet when I got her. Had a checkup in January, they told me she had a bad tooth and needed $1200 dental work, sent me home with pain meds and antibiotics that doubled the cost of the visit. Got her home and checked her teeth myself, nothing wrong, kept the meds for in case they could be useful later. They just had to upsell me and try to get the dental that was not needed. She recently stopped eating and I took her out of town the vet on the weekend because nobody in this town is open on the weekend and charge a minimum of $400 to show up after hours. We found she broke a tooth off recently and it was causing her not to eat. Started using the pain meds at the recommendation of the vet. Called Cerbat Cliffs on Monday and was advised they could get her in on 6/30, requested some additional pain meds to get her through to the appointment so she would keep eating. They advised that as long as they have a visit within the last 6 months they could refill. They promised to get back to me with refill and estimate for dental later in the day. Contacted them again on Tuesday afternoon checking status, they advised Dr Welter refused to refill meds. I called and inquired, advised not smart to starve an animal for 4 days prior to surgery, was told they would ask again. Was denied again with the excuse being they were outside of 6 month window, they can't read a calendar. Last visit was 1/9/25, and the date was 6/25, I explained 6 months would be 7/9, was advised they still couldn't do it. They could have but didn't want to. I decided to cancel the surgery after my cat quit eating again when the pain meds ran out. When I called to tell them they then wanted to offer an urgent care visit to get her in. Long story short they only care about gouging you for money, don't care about your animals at all. They were fine with my cat being in pain and not eating and then going under anesthesia, 11 yr old cat too, not a young one. Go find a vet that that cares about your animals and not looking to just get your money. Dr Welter should be ashamed of her actions. read more

Always the best. They alway take my dogs on emergency very affordable. Never had to wait to long . Vet are very professional.

They just don't care about animals. They only care about money. They let my dog die and now won't return my calls better can't get anymore money out of me. 2nd worst vet in Kingman. read more

Amazing staff. Doctors are very knowledgeable and take great care of the animals. High recommend them for all your pets needs.

This place was fantastic. I had an injured Quail that I had found. I brought it up to Kingman and went here as I was told they could handle wild game such as this bird.I was willing to pay somewhat to get this bird fixed and back out with her family.. Sadly, it had a broken pelvis and they had to euthanize her. They were very nice to me, and I believe they did their best to see if it she be saved. Thank you again and I will be back with my animals.. read more

We couldn't be more thankful for the excellent care our furbaby Tessa received at Cerbat Cliffs Veterinary Hospital. We were traveling and our dog was so very sick, could not keep anything down and fading fast. After trying to get an appointment with every vet from Bullhead though Havasu, this kind facility took us in, gave her fluids, xrays, bloodwork and meds and the kindest of care, not only for our beloved dog but for us too. We highly recommend them. read more

They made room in their day for my suddenly critically ill 14 year old dog. The staff were wonderful and so compassionate I was blown away! As we had to send our beloved dog over the rainbow bridge the vet was kind and very thoughtful It was a horrible day made better by this clinic.... by the way we were not clients until today and they treated us like family...will be back with other 3 pups! read more

I took both of my dogs to their office. Only one, Artie (he's blind and doesn't like the leash) was spending 3 boarding days there, and my other one, Sammy was going with me to Yuma. Horrible experience. First off, they charged me $83.00 extra and said it was for an examination, but they didn't examine either dog. They gave Sammy the bordetella to drink, and said they were going to give Artie's later. When I got to Yuma and noticed the invoice, I talked to them about it, and she lied and said they did an examination on both. I WAS THERE. NO THEY DIDN'T. So, after I called and told them I don't appreciate being lied to, and stole from they hit my bank card with another charge of $5.80. WTF!!! So, I get home,  Sunday and they are closed, I call to let them know I will be picking up Artie and they say fine, at 4pm. I get there at 3:56 and I wait. A little after 4pm she brings Artie out the side door and says he hasn't eaten the whole time he's been there, and as soon as I hold him, his collar is so tight he is having a hard time breathing. I took it off and brought him home. As soon as he was in the house he went right to his water and drank like he was never going to get enough, then I gave him a bowl of his food and he ate like he was starving. I am so angry. Obviously I should have never taken him there. These are NOT good people! read more

We are so very happy to find Cerbat Cliffs. Total rocks for us in moving to Kingman because they could board our blue and gold macaw. They were also very kind about being able to extend stays when it felt best for pets as we got moved in. So grateful to find a place we know will take good care of our zoo. read more

My pet was having problems walking. It was a few days before Christmas, so most vet's were closed, or booked solid. We called Cerbat Cliffs and they said to bring her in; they were going to get her in between appointments. We drove from BHC to Kingman, and our little girl was in an exam room within 15 minutes. She was suffering from an enlarged heart, and the doctor was very upfront with us ... she wasn't going to get better. We made that hard decision to let her cross the bridge; we didn't want her suffering. They took care of her cremation, and we brought her back home about a week and a half later. They did a great job. I am very thankful to the staff there. The day after Christmas, we brought home another little girl that had been surrendered. She is keeping us on our toes. read more

My husband and I adopted a kitty two weeks prior to our trip to AZ. The kitty (Luna) started getting lethargic and not eating. We called numerous vets near fort Mohave AZ and no one could see her. We then called Cerbat (which was a hour away) they were so kind to fit us in there busy schedule. I was so pleased with their staff and the vet. They were so nice, caring and I didn't feel they did unnecessary test just to charge us more. If we lived here in AZ, I would use them as our primary vet. read more

I have never been treated so WELL by any doctor or veterinary in my life!! My Rufus had an emergency at 1:00AM and they met us at their office in the middle of the night to help us! Their kindness & compassionate to Rufus and Me, was amazing! ( I was a wreck) They fixed him up, and we took him back to the them early the next morning for the surgery that he needed. Their communication with us and follow up was so kind. Rufus is doing amazingly well...He goes to get his stitches out in four days! And, my Rufus is feeling great! I was pleasantly surprised that the cost was not what I thought it was going to be, very reasonable for all the work that they did. Thank You!! read more

These angels were not our regular veterinarians. We had an emergency our beautiful boy collapsed. He was elderly and his hips gave out. We're old folks and unable to get him in the car even if we were strong enough it would have hurt him, he was already confused and exhausted we didn't want to put him through the trama of a car ride (he was frightened in his older years of car rides) euthanasia at our regular vet was out of the question and they didn't do house calls. I called Cerbat Cliffs and right away they said they could help us. We live in the boonies an hour from town. A team came out, Dr Melchiors and Christyn. Angels. I can't express enough the care and compassion they provided our Rusty and us. He passed peacefully in his own home. We stopped in yesterday and picked up the beautiful paw print Christyn made for us. We are so grateful for this gift. If you're looking for people who care about animals this is the vet for you. read more

Was on a road trip when my 11 year old Sheppard mix wasn't acting right so I stopped in to Cerabat cliffs to find out my pup had a tumor around her spleen that burst. Because of her age they said it was probably a 50/50 chance of her making it off the operating table , but if she didn't get surgery she had a couple days max... she had lost control of her bowels and blood collecting in her stomach. Well it's been 3 years and Anna lives happily at the beach and is still very playful on a daily basis thanks to Dr Patterson ! I also have her heavy doses of CBD, which is not psychoactive, which really seems to bring back her youth. The entire staff, along with Dr Patterson , was great and worked together as a team to save my alpha! Thank you guys so much. Please pass this onto Dr Patterson as I know she moved out of state. read more

My dog hurt his leg the night before last. Not sure how though. I got home and it was swollen and he couldn't walk. I didn't have an appointment yesterday, but drove up their from bullhead and arrived when they opened. They immediately saw my dog and took care of him. He had X-rays, a full work up and received meds. Due to the swelling and him not walking they asked to see him today to follow up. No appointment necessary just come in. Went in and my dog got another checkup and acupuncture, which he handled well. They went over everything and really went above and beyond for my dog. It will take awhile for him to get back to his old self, but I know he will with their help. They were all wonderful to Mr.Pickles and me. Thank you!!!! read more

Living in Lake Havasu recent relocate found ourselves on a Monday about noon our dog was squatting and nothing was coming out for a day and her stomach was getting very firm. Called every Vet in Lake Havasu all of them. None could fit us in they said "the other customers have appointments we can't move them aside to see you." next week, tomorrow etc. Granted those teeth cleanings and checkups to get fresh meds are of course a top priority i'm sure some of those pet owners might have understood if they were set aside for our dogs inability to urinate. Enter Kingman 1 hour away and the beautiful facilities and doctors at Cerbat Cliffs Animal Hospital. We arrived at 4 p.m. walk in waited about 15 minutes got in with Robin Paterson D.V.M. our dog was in surgery 1 hour later for an emergency attempt to remove a large tumor that had developed in our Westie's bladder. Turns out the tumor was alot larger than the x ray and ultrasound revealed and our poor girl could not be saved. Because Cerbat Cliffs was compassionate and available our dogs last day on this earth was spent in good spirits and very little pain. The other Vets would have left us to wait for an internal rupture or painful night of suffering. We opted for creamation and 1 week later received a clay cast of our baby's paw courtesy of Dr. Paterson and a beautiful engraved wood box with her name on it and her ashes inside. What a kind way to deliver and help us remember our cherished loved one. The delivery packaging and ash container would have been suitable for a human cremation let alone for our little dog. My advice. Get in your car and drive your pet to Kingman they are open until 6 p.m. at Cerbat Cliffs and it is worth the drive to have someone with this kind of character and compassion be your VET All of our dogs will be seen there anytime we are within a reasonable distance. read more

My dog has been going to Cerbat Cliffs for the last 13 years. On 10/01/21 he had a problem breathing, couldn't get an appointment with my Vet for six weeks. So I had to see available vet on duty who X-Rayed my dog and said his wind pipe was closing off and gave me Xanax for anxiety and some Hydrocodone Suspension. Then I returned to the vet on 10/12/21 for a Medical Examination no one seemed to question his difficulty in his breathing. December 2nd he was worse! I was able to see my original vet and Rocky was X-Rayed once again. I was told for the first time that Rocky had an enlarged heart. Now how did he get and enlarged heart in two months? Now they are giving me giant heart pills when he can't even swallow water. I feel he was misdiagnosed in Oct. If he was diagnosed correctly he would still be here. So $768.00 later I had to put my dog to sleep, and was charged another $180.53 ended up losing my baby anyway. I would highly recommend using a different Animal Hospital. read more

One of the most painful times of my life, I place a call to Cerbat Cliffs. I was hysterical, my 2 big dogs attacked my cat.she would not eat, she was crying, and her mouth was hung opened, with her tongue hanging out. Dana, who works there answered the call. God please bless her. She was so comforting, yet stressed the importance of my kitty being seen. During a crisis, when you find a very caring person, as I had found in Dana, it makes the entire difference in an incident. I will be taking my animals to Cerbat Cliffs, as long as Dana works there. THANK YOU DANA, your professionalism, and TRUE CARING, made ALL diff for me. read more

Our dog was bitten by a rattlesnake (which we didn't know at the time) and we needed emergency care after hours, not to mention we live in Mohave Valley which is an hour away! The doctor's were very caring and attentive to our little fur baby. They knew right away with one look at him what was wrong! Harley loved them all! He had to stay over night on meds & IV. When it was time to pick him up they had all of his take home meds ready for us and explained everything in detail! Checking out was fast & easy, even though it was very busy in the office that day. They even called to check on him a couple days later! I highly recommend this veterinarian! They are very knowledgeable and very caring! If you're thinking of trying a new vet or need emergency care, this is the place! read more

There are many other Vets in town better than this place. Disorganized and under doctor staff. Lots and lots of techs but NOTHING can get done without a "doc". They make appointments for no apparent reason because if you're a "regular" you get automatic "front of line" pass... if you're new you'll be expected to be ok with seniority choice and be passed up in waiting. Joke... worst "vet" I've been to. I've been waiting for over an hour after my appointment schedule sitting here on yelp... still waiting.... FYI - it cost $500 to get a blood lab done there... other vets in town do it for under $300... they have to bill high at this location because they have 10-15 vet techs and 2 doctors! Don't waste your time and money here. read more

Not sure how caring this clinic is....I found a wild bird down either sick or injured. I couldn't stand to see it suffer all night so I called the emergency number and was told I could come in Saturday morning and have it euthanized or come in tonight, but I would have to pay an emergency fee. This is a WILD bird!!!! Why do I have to pay for it??!!! Apparently it doesn't bother them that this bird has to slowly suffer all night!!!! I would think if they really cared for all animals they would have taken it tonight. read more

This place is the worst. We had to put our dog down and got there before they closed but since they didn't come outside till after 6 charged us an extra 100 dollars tech fee and didn't tell us that on the phone.

0 stars to the girl with the skeletal tattoo on her hand. Did not acknowledge me as I stood at the counter for 5 minutes. Wouldn't respond.

That wouldn't of even bothered me if the girl at the counter wasn't so rude. I've never left a complaint on anything before in my Life. Thanks again to Dana. read more

They did not inform me that I needed to wear a mask when I made the appointment. First time here I walked up to check in and the door was locked. A lady came out and said I couldn't come in and that I had to call to check in and wait in my car. I asked if I would be able to come and and she said yes. I went back to my car and called, but no one answered so I had to leave a message. The employee had failed to mention that I was required to wear a mask to come in. When the employee came out to let me know they were ready she asked if I had a mask, I replied no and at that time she said she could not let me come in. I was not offered a mask and was forced to let her take my dog without my supervision only because she needed her puppy shots and it would be too late to book her appointment somewhere else. I used the time while I waited passed the time I was supposed to be seen by making my dog's next appointment with a DIFFERENT vet. Never should a vet NOT let you go in with your dog unless they are having surgery. Not trying this place again. read more

We have used this animal hospital for shots and boarding for over a year. In looking at the website, a senior discount is available. When I asked the receptionist about the discount she informed me that it does not apply to boarding. Guess I should have asked her what it does apply to, but didn't think to. Unclear as to why the discount doesn't apply to all services. Other than that usually very pleased with the service. read more
