    Gunner wanted to thank DAMON for being patient with him and getting his X-Rays of his foot completed without anesthesia! Thank you Dr Hussey and Dr Francher for your advice with his toe. I love this office they love the animals and really take time to explain everything to you Thank you Dr Monaco for your great staff.

    This review is specifically for the wonderful front desk lady who took my call (I'm so sorry I didn't catch your name!). I called in a bit panicked because my cat had eaten a big piece of leek I had accidentally left in the sink after making soup. A quick Google search told me that leeks are highly toxic to cats, and I was expecting the worst. I immediately jumped on Yelp to find an emergency animal hospital and luckily, Highlands Animal Care was the first place that came up--and I'm so glad it did. The woman who answered the phone was incredibly kind, professional, and calm. She listened to my situation without judgment, put me on a brief hold to speak with not one, but two doctors who just happened to be there at the time, and then returned to let me know that the amount my cat ingested likely wasn't enough to be harmful. She reassured me without making me feel like I needed to rush in, pay for a consultation, or purchase unnecessary services. That level of honesty and care is so rare these days, and I am beyond grateful. Her helpfulness and compassion immediately earned my trust, and I will 100% be coming here for all my future pet care needs. Thank you again for your kindness--you truly made a difference for Aries(cat) and I that day!

    Two paws up!

    I really like this place ... they're nice and sweet and probably honest. I appreciate how they tell you how expensive everything is going to be before to do the procedure

    This is my second review for this amazing hospital. I am a vet assistant with a mobile company so I need a place to bring my own fur babies when procedures are needed. My French bulldog, Ferdinand, needed a dental cleaning with an oral mass removal as well as a subcutaneous mass removal. I had a bad experience last year at another clinic so I was anxious about this procedure. Highlands again blew me away with their level of care. Dr. Hussey listened to all of my concerns and we built a treatment plan together. The day of the procedure I felt relaxed and knew my guy would be well taken care of because Hailey, her technician, was so communicative and confident. I dropped him off around 8am and was able to pick him up at 1:30pm- fastest I've ever been able to do a pick up. Ferdy was quickly back to his ornery, opinionated self. He now has his quirky, cute smile back. I couldn't be happier!. Pricing was reasonable and worth every penny. Thank you, Dr Hussey and Hailey!!

    Unfortunately my cat broke his hind left tibia this past summer. It was an overwhelming situation. The staff at highlands animal care were so compassionate and helpful. They took really great care of him.

    Very nice quiet exam and waiting area for nervous babies

    I've been looking for a steady vet for a long time since my favorite vet retired. I swear we went to every vet near my area (downtown) and they either were terrible, or they would move! So I saw highlands on yelp and decided to bite the bullet and drive the 30-40 minutes based on all the good reviews. I'd say it was worth it. The staff is amazing. From the front desk to the assistants to the vets everyone is really competent and kind. My baby feels like the king of the world when he's there he told me)! The waiting room is fantastic. There are really nice private or private-ish places to sit so if you have a reactive dog at all it's literally no problem. Some of the rooms are set up like a living room so if your dog is nervous they will feel more comfy. My sweet baby angel was having a recurring UTI that I had been treating at an emergency clinic, with no success. Finally I see some progress at Horizon with different meds that they recommended. I'm also very pleased that they offer some holistic treatments and at home or even tele health visits. Totally worth the drive if you don't live close.

    Although our reason for coming to Highlands Animal Care was heartbreaking as we had to put down our sweet old boy, Dougie, every aspect of the experience was gentle, empathetic, and caring. I've had to say goodbye to family pets many times in my life and I have never felt more cared for than this time. The staff at Highlands is so kind and empathetic, we never felt rushed or pressured to get through the process or as if we were inconveniencing a busy facility. The staff brought him a doggie snack tray to enjoy before the procedure and we were able to hold him in our arms and take our time saying goodbye. Dougie's last moments were full of love and care. We had our young kids with us and I was so worried the experience would be traumatizing but it was the furthest thing from. Our kids were able to say goodbye to their beloved boy while holding him in their laps and not once did they feel scared for him. They both commented on how peaceful and happy he seemed in his last moments. From the bottom of all our hearts, thank you to the entire staff at Highlands for being so gentle with us and bringing so much peace during such a difficult experience.

    Belikin had a great, first visit at 4 mths old. Thank you all for your kindness and caring of all of our babies.

    They are so kind, helpful, patient and the prices are fair. I don't feel nickel and dimed or rushed like I have in so many other vets. They have tele help partner available too which has helped me in times of emergency, when the vet was closed or in the middle of the night. I really appreciate having found this office for help with my babies. Thank you!

    See all

    I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more I brought my puppy in because she was shaking her ears a lot and it seemed like something was irritating them. I also mentioned her coughing/gagging symptoms during the visit. The doctor we saw was Dr. Ledezma. We came in thinking it would be a simple ear cleaning, but she ended up being prescribed medication and additional ear treatment. After they put it on her at the clinic, her ears actually got worse and it looked like some irritation may have affected the skin on her ears, so I didn't even use it and had to take her to another vet for a different opinion and to have everything re-checked and cleaned again. For her other symptoms, I was told it was likely related to her recent spay surgery. Later on, another clinic immediately identified it as kennel cough just by examining her throat. I also want to mention she is a shelter puppy, which I did tell them. Knowing that, I would've expected kennel cough to at least be considered as a possibility, since it is very common in shelter dogs, but that wasn't brought up during the visit. During the exam, I also didn't feel very confident in the explanation given, and the overall visit felt unclear. Overall, I ended up spending close to $200 and still had to seek additional care elsewhere shortly after. I did reach out directly before leaving a review to try and resolve things first. They did offer a refund for the medication, which I appreciate, but that was the only adjustment offered. I was still asked to call in to complete the refund due to my overnight work schedule, and they only offered to refund the medication, not the ear-related charges (swab, cleaning, and exam), which made up most of the visit cost. For context, the breakdown was roughly: exam fee ($70), ear swab ($40+), ear cleaning ($40+), and medication ($40+). I've brought my other dog to this clinic before and had good experiences, which is why I initially chose to bring my puppy here. The vet assistants here was are always so nice I can say that. Having a new shelter puppy is already stressful, and this experience added unnecessary stress and additional vet visits that likely could have been avoided. I wish I had paid closer attention to the more mixed reviews beforehand. I'm sharing this just so other pet owners can make a more informed decision. I will not reach out again as this whole situation was just a lot and I gave them an opportunity to resolve this with a few emails back and forth.
