I love Dr. C and his staff. We have 3 dogs and 4 cats and Dr. C & his staff always take great care of them, esp when its an emergency. Dr. C has saved the day several times: when my older dog Mojo swallowed rat poison, when one of my kittens, Rocket was sick & when another dog Goose swallowed a sock and needed emergency surgery. In addition to all the visits in between. When it was MoJo's time, they gave us the extra time we needed to say goodbye and were above all kind. You don't have to take out a second mortgage to pay the bill either. No surprises. I don't know what we'd do without them. read more

Dishonest, trash, and a complete waste of my time and efforts. It is sad, because it was not like this before. I have been coming here for probably close to 10 years, as have several friends and neighbors, but I will never come back again. I came last Friday and was told I can come back today, next Thursday, and my dog will have some bumps cauterized off him. I was told to be in at 3:45 pm and it takes about 30 minutes with the procedure to be done while I wait with him. I called them yesterday, the day before the appointment, and left a voicemail asking to confirm my appointment and if my dog needs to have water and food removed before the appointment today. They did not call me back, but did call my wife yesterday to confirm the appointment. I went into the vet today at 3:30 pm and checked in for the appointment. At about 4:15 the vet came out, looked at my dog, and he informed me I will need to come back in a couple days. The vet informed me I will need to leave him all day for them to do the work. I asked why I was not told that on Thursday, when I set the appointment for today, and the vet got an attitude with me and said he was not working on my schedule. I expressed my concern to the vet that about 4 months ago I brought my dog in for a dental cleaning at 7:30 am and was told he would be ready about 3 or 4 pm. I was called just after 4 pm and told they did not do the work since there was another emergency that arose. When I asked why they did not call me when they realized they could not do the work, they shrugged me off. There is no reason for my elderly full-sized dog to spend a day in their tiny cage just to be asked to return another day. He does not have a ton of time left, I do not want him to spend it in their tiny cage, afraid, and them not to do the work. There is no need for me to take a day off of work, missing pay, just to be told tough luck and they are not working on my time. If you make an appointment to get work done, the work should be done. read more

PLEASE, save yourself the money, trouble, and anguish and DO NOT take your pet to Debbie Lane Animal Clinic. I took my girl in to have a big mass removed knowing it was a risk and recovery would be tough. I should have known from the moment Dr. Cukjati first walked in the room. He never addressed me or my dog by her name. He felt the size of the mass on her side and then walked away saying, "just get an anesthesia test." No detail about the surgery or timeline for anything at all. Also, they scheduled her surgery the week before the whole office would be on vacation, knowing that she will need to go back in that next week to be checked out. By the next morning, the bottom stitch had already broken and the wound was exposed. We went back in and he injected lidocaine in her open wound and then stitched it back up. We kept it bandaged up and her cone on so that she couldn't mess with it. Five days later, the wound was open again and the stitch didn't stay closed. She is bleeding through the bandages. I called the vet and he agreed to see us the next day. This time he used steel stitches to try to amend the open wound. This time, he did not bandage it up, so it was just an open wound with steel stitches sticking out. We still kept the cone on 24/7. After three days, the steel stitches came out, AGAIN. I called the vet and they said to not worry about it and just bring her in on Monday...13 days after the initial surgery. All the rest of the stitches stayed closed but this bottom stitch was located in the worst place - on her upper inner thigh/groin - and that area is affected any time she walks, lifts her leg, etc. Monday comes and I bring her back for them to check it out. Dr. Cukjati looked at Marley and just shook his head, no. Again, no greeting, whatsoever. The TA motions to bring her into the main patient room and the doc says, "No, she needs to make an appointment and she (my dog) will have to be knocked out again." I said, "and then what"? He said, "and we'll have to re-stitch her. But, I'm not spending any more time on you without you paying for it." I said, "excuse me"? Not because I wouldn't be willing to pay him for his time, but because of the manner in which he spoke to me AND the fact that he actually wanted to put my poor girl through this surgery, AGAIN. He kept saying that it was Marley's fault and that she had broken that stitch all three times. I said to him, "she did NOT chew it,, she has had the cone on the whole time, this stitch is in a vulnerable spot that opens when she walks." He yelled, "no, it's her fault"! I was so confused as to why the conversation had gone this way but I said, "sir, I chose you after researching vets and I trusted you. She is not opening the stitches." I asked him why he cut her open vertically instead of horizontally, because that is where the stitch keeps coming open. He looked at me with a smirk and said, "why did she grow that mass right in that spot?" I said, "Did you just talk smart ass to me"? He then yelled to his front desk staff and said, "call the police"! I said, "excuse me? You're calling the police because of me?" He said, "yes, you're upsetting my staff and my customers." I said, "you're upsetting me?! YOU did this surgery and this is not our fault!" He yelled, "it's HER fault!" , and pointed at my girl again with zero empathy or concern for how she was feeling, doing, nothing at all. I go to my car and just start balling. I'm shocked, sad, and humiliated. Two cop cars pulled up and told me that I needed to leave or the clinic would charge me with trespassing. My dog has an open wound that could easily get infected because she no longer has antibiotics and he is refusing us service, calls the police on me, and wants to charge me for trespassing while I'm sitting in the car with my dog, crying. This was the craziest thing I have experienced. read more

I scheduled my chihuahua mix, Deuce to be neutered at Debbie Lane Animal Clinic. My furbaby was anxious. He was dropped off at 8 and I asked what time the procedure was and staff responded it was to be done at noon. (That's the first red flag). Why should the animal be dropped off so early then? An hour later, I get a call from the vet tech to say that he was having diarrhea and that the procedure was not going to be done. They had given him antibiotics and carob powder. I told him that he's just nervous which is why he was having diarrhea. My husband picked him up and Deuce was sent home with $50 worth of medication that he didn't need. If my dog was having diarrhea, why would I even drop him off or proceed with the surgery? I called his office and asked for a refund explaining my dog was just nervous and he does not have diarrhea. Dr. Cukjati wrote back and his response was unkind. He referred to my Deuce as "Devil" to which I was quite saddened and disappointed. (I bring my other pom to him and he's good with her). "Devil caused us great trouble by passing diarrhea in three different cages. He was unmanageable as a patient". Well, how would you control diarrhea? Why refer to my dog as "Devil" and who would name their pet, Devil? He suggested that I find another veterinarian. I did write and apologize to him. I would rather he charge me a cleaning fee than charge me for medication that the dog does not need. So disappointed and will not be back! read more

Thank God for Dr Cukjati! After multiple trips to various vets who wanted thousands of dollars to operate on my 4 mo old kitten to remove an object from her stomach, and ultimately sent me away to watch her die, he gave me a home remedy to keep her alive over the weekend until he could see her in his office on Monday. It worked wonderfully! He gave me something none of the others did. None of the other vets cared about my sick kitten, they only go through the process of exam, diagnose, and bill. It's all about the money for them. With Dr C that is clearly not the case. He and his staff love the animals, and are truly there to help them and their owners. It is heart warming to see, and experience this. Only one hour after leaving Dr C's office my kitten expelled the item that has been stuck in her for a week. Three other vets gave me the options to pay $2,500 - $4400 for various procedures/surgeries, or take her home to die. They never said anything about how to keep her alive if she won't eat. They never said anything about Laxatone, a $19 lubricant that can help her pass the object in her. It's sad to see this happening in this industry. Thank God for men like Dr C! For $19 he saved my kitten! Because he truly cared about my pet, and about me. read more

All the vets at this clinic are amazing. They really understand how to diagnose your dog. They are also very reasonably priced. They have taken care of three of our dogs. read more

Dr. Cukjati and his staff are amazing. He has many years of experience and specializes in Anima Dentistry and Orthopedics. This is one of the most knowledgeable, caring vets I have met in a very long time! With the larger clinics buying out many clinics in our area, it has just gotten so difficult to find healthcare for our pets that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. His pricing is far less than reasonable and the care he provides is A+!!! I would HIGHLY recommend him! read more

Although Dr. C. is a very nice man, he is old (or just incompetent) and is making horrible decisions that affect the lives of the animals taken to him. Animals are dying prematurely and needlessly. He must retire. He operated on my male dog because he "felt" an enlarged organ. He cut my dog wide open, looked around, and stitched him back up. Said one of his organs was enlarged and twisted. He sent my dog home after cutting him wide open with NO PAIN MEDS. He either didn't have pain meds on hand or didn't know how to calculate the dose needed but which ever reason, Dr. C should NEVER HAVE OPERATED. My baby was in so much pain and shock, I held him in my arms all night long praying he didn't die. He was shuddering in pain. A week later Dr. C recommended I take my dog to a specialist (and a friend of his) in Plano. After examining my dog and performing a sonogram, he said he had no idea what Dr. C. was talking about. He immediately put my dog on pain meds and gave him proper doses of meds needed. My older female dog was suddenly urinating without control, lost a lot of weight in a very short period of time, and was drinking large quantities of water. Dr. C gave her a prescription to " strengthen her bladder" and told me to stop giving her so much water. After I came out of my haze of worry for my baby, I realized she had diabetes. I immediately took her to another vet who (of course) diagnosed her and immediately began insulin treatments, but the time wasted between Dr. C.'s diagnosis and me figuring out my baby was diabetic had put her in a critical condition. We had to have our beloved baby put to sleep. I dropped a letter by Dr. C's reviewing what he had done to my dogs and asking him to retire so he didn't put any more animals in a harms way. He emailed a response saying he disagreed with me on a few points, but he didn't have time to look at my animals folders. A FEW POINTS??!! Which ones?? Where he almost killed one dog and drastically cut short the life is my other dog?? PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS TO THIS VET! read more

Our family absolutely adores Dr. C and all of the staff at Debbie Lane animal clinic. They have treated multiple pets of ours and are always caring and considerate. They explain everything in detail and spend as much time as needed with us each time we were in there. read more

I never leave reviews but this situation is serious. I took my Argentina Dogo in for a spay surgery due to her having pyometra which was advised by this vet. They called after surgery said it went well, surgery was at 1, get a call at 4:30 saying the dog is in bad shape and needs to go somewhere else for observation overnight. I get there at 4:45 and she is non responsive and gums are Snow White I'm not a vet and the first thing I told my wife is that she is bleeding internally. I take her straight to the 24 hour emergency in Mansfield where they tell me she is probably bleeding out so they confirm with a sonogram and before they can open her up she dies. So for $2000 in vet bills my dog died being spayed. The vet says he is not equipped to take care of an emergency situation if it comes up he just calls and says sorry she needs to go to a real vet now. You would think the least they could have done is offer our $900 back to go towards the $1100 the 24 hour vet charged . If your animal needs anything that could become serious you owe it to them to take them somewhere that can help them if they get into trouble. He assured us he had only lost 2 dogs in his 68 year career and I guess he can add another on the list now. Haley was the best dog a family could ask for and she was taken from us by a vet that is doing things he is not equipped to do. This all happened on 6/7/21. read more

Dr C.is amazing. He operated on my dog when another clinic advised euthanasia. It was a scary surgery, but she is doing great. He and his office staff were so compassionate and caring. Please go to him!! read more

Dr. Cukjati dropped my 4.3 lb. puppy after I warned him she was wiggly, and squirmy and in 2 shelters and not used to humans. He gave her the shots she needed and never apologized for dropping the dog from 4' onto the floor. My 1st review was deleted so I am reviewing for the 2nd time.Let's see if he deletes this.. (he also said the 6 month heart worm shot would save me money at $40 but when I had to buy the 2 flea and tick meds to cover the 6 months the tabs came to $120. I paid $160 for the 6 month treatment instead of $60 for Sentinel which covers both for 6 months.. read more

If you're a minority don't bother coming if you want to deal with a racist vet. I'm only giving them 2 stars because they are affordable and helped the first time I went to them when my cat had a bug when he came. The second time, my cat was experiencing patches of hair loss. The lady on the phone was very enthusiastic and informational but sadly wasn't there when we came to the appointment, but we did not get the same customer service afterwards. We came to them ASAP thinking it was fleas or ring worms. They picked at his hair and said him pooping out of his box is due to stress, and hair loss was because of diet. They didn't do any tests. They charged me $50 to go home with flea soap when they said he didn't have it, and vitamin e oil for my cat. Didn't even feel legit. Nothing's changed. Why charge me so you can look at me cat? And they lost a customer when I heard the vet calling " the mother who came in was a bitch" and to question if my boyfriend heard that right, the vet retaliated at my boyfriend with " nothing. Do you even speak English?. " That. Is. Racist. Point blank. Won't be coming back. read more

This was written before our sweet Ryder passed. Please read before going under the knife at this Vet. Does not do blood work on animals unless they are 6 years or older. I brought my 2.5 year old dog into the clinic because he was losing his balance on 7/16. Dr. Cukjati checked him out and looked at his teeth and said he needed some removed because there was an infection. We scheduled for the next day to have his teeth cleaned up and some extractions. I signed a release form and they proceed with the procedure. I got my dog back home and he came out of anesthesia but still losing his balance, drooling. We took him back to the vet several time because he stopped eating and drinking. Dr. Cukjati was treating him for stroke, neck injury or traumatic brain injury. Telling us to give him time. On 7/25 he looked like he was going to die so we took him back in and did some x-ray on his neck to see if there is any damage, none found. We also took him to a neurologist that wanted to do an MRI. Due to the cost of it and that he was so frail at under 2 pounds we couldn't let him go under anesthesia, thinking that there was something wrong in his brain we thought of putting him down because his quality of life was at a 0 he had lost 1/3 of his body weight and limp. Dr. Cukjati called us saying he would take care of our dog "for free" going forward to get him back into good health. He gave him some medicines for coordination and steroid shot. Over the next month and a half we brought him several times in and Dr. Cukjati would act surprised that he is not better. During this whole time our dog would get better and the go back to not walking, eating, or drinking. Friday 9/14 we went in to get some more medication due to be unstable again our dog was not with us but we asked Dr. Cukjati about his symptoms again and asked if it could be Vestibular disease, he looked at us and said "yes it could be give them this antibiotics". Monday 9/17 we took him to the ER here in Mansfield. Within minutes of hearing the symptoms the vet said she suspected liver problems and wanted to do blood work. Once the blood work was done we found out that he had a liver shunt. Therefore, his liver which is visually 1/3 a normal size cannot filter the toxins in his blood and causes neurological issues. I call Dr. Cukjati at Debbie Lane to tell him what his diagnosis was and he acted like he had never hear of such a thing, I had to explain to him how it works what is happening in his body. With 50+ years of experience one would have though he knew pretty much everything. We went over to get the prescribed dog food and Dr. Cukjati was nowhere to be seen like we did something wrong. We knew he was there because the nice ladies up front went and asked him something about the dog food. So the next day my wife drove over to get the blood results to compare them to the ones we got from the ER and they told my wife they only do blood work on dogs 6 years and older. WHAT? You did not perform blood work before you put a patient under anesthesia. Every vet I have ever been to have always completed labs before going under the knife. Vets sometimes ask if you want to get or deny the blood work. When it wasn't mentioned I wrongly assumed it would be done. Is this not a normal procedure for all Vets??? In research we have found this is what put our poor little puppy over the edge with his liver problem. If he would have done the blood work we would have known our little dog had a liver shunt. If he would have thought of liver problems or suggested blood work any time during the two months he was giving meds and telling us to have patience our dog might not be in end stage liver failure. We could have started the correct medication and diet for Liver Shunt. Now our dog is dying from too may toxins in his brain. The vet and staff seem nice and yes they are the cheapest around but in my experience, Dr Cukjati does not know what he is doing. In hindsight maybe the offer of free service was an admission that he did something wrong? RIP Ryder, 09/20/18 Forever Loved Never Forgotten. read more

Dr. K was awesome. We just started going there and he ran blood work and called me himself with the results. Our dog who is elderly was getting a procedure and the whole staff was great with her.
