    My Boston Terrier Moby
    Jessica H.

    My poor Boston Terrier Moby had been suffering from an eye injury (corneal ulcer in his right eye) for over three months. We'd seen almost every vet in Memphis and tried every medication there is (at least that's how it felt anyways lol) before we were finally referred to Dr. Jennifer Huey for eye surgery at MVS. Let me just say, I am SO HAPPY WE WERE. The second I got on the phone to schedule his appointment, I felt relieved... like I knew Moby would be in good hands and get the best possible treatment. Dr. Huey was VERY THOROUGH, helpful, and answered ALL OF MY QUESTIONS. She didn't rush and is sure to communicate clearly by using pictures, writing things down, and thoroughly explaining conditions and procedures verbally so no matter your learning style, you'll walk out of there with an understanding of the basics. Moby's surgery was a great success and I'm happy to report he's currently living a much better quality of life. He's happier, he's playing again, and he no longer needs to take eye medication 4x daily or visit the vet twice a week. He's just a healthy, happy boy again all thanks to Dr. Jennifer and her staff.

    I absolutely dread any after hours trips to vets. The only one I've been to is that one on Summer Ave which has been awful each time. I was nervous to even call based on my experience with the other place. These ladies I spoke to on the phone were amazing. They both listened and were compassionate about my situation. They were honest about the care it sounded like I would need and showed that they are trustworthy and truly there to help people and pets. I will never hesitate to use this clinic and recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thanks for helping my girl!

    They are Specialists! You can trust them. They are amazing. They treat their patients with extremely good care. They work miracles! I drive 2 hours from out of state to take my fur-babies to them and I would drive for days if I had to.

    See all

    Very efficient and kind but they are so expensive. But if you have an emergency, this is the place to go!

    Try to get a live person to answer twice within a month. All they take is a recording. I do not have time to leave a message.

    Hello to the loving pet owners of our world, I contacted…read morethis establishment by phone and spoke with the attendant. She quoted a fee of only $120 to see my small pet, Rooroo. Before the visit, I observed two ticks on her, both of the same size and located in the same area. I was uncertain about how long they had been attached and wished to have her examined and the ticks removed. The cost for each tick was an additional $80, and if the removal proved difficult, the total cost could exceed $300 and may have to be still yet done by a regular vet of my choice the following day. That would have been an additional set of fees as well. This fee was solely to ensure the ticks were removed and my pet was free of health issues. Furthermore, the facility only accepted cash or credit card payment at the time and would not invoice my existing pet insurance plan, which I have through Walmart and Fetch via AARP. Consequently, I decided to take her to a nearby friends house that loves my kitten and my cat returns the same love and trustworthy them and because she is very important to me, and I could not perform the procedure myself, as I am emotionally attached to my pet, whom I consider my baby, and I only wanted the best care for her. Hence, upon arrival, I found the staff to be unfriendly and primarily focused on financial gain. It was late at night, around 2 a.m., and I woke a friend who is knowledgeable about such matters to assist me. I offered the friend a fee of $100, and because of the mutual trust and affection between my pet and the friend, the procedure was completed in about two minutes. I am strongly opposed to any service provider prioritizing profit over the well-being of a living creature, especially in emergency situations. My experience at that facility demonstrated greed and a lack of compassion from the staff, and I will not return. I called this emergency veterinary clinic because I was deeply worried about my little fur baby, RooRoo. She had two ticks attached in the same area, both about the same size, and I did not know how long they had been there. As any loving pet owner would, I wanted her examined immediately, the ticks safely removed, and to make sure she had no health complications. What I received instead was a price list before compassion. I was told it would be $120 just for them to look at her (exam fee), plus an additional $80 per tick for removal, and possibly more if they considered it difficult. That meant I was facing over $300 simply to help my baby in a moment of fear and urgency. I also asked about the pet insurance plans I carry, and they would not bill either one. Payment had to be made immediately, on the spot. When someone calls in distress over a beloved animal, the first concern should be the pet's well-being, not how fast a debit card can be swiped. I took RooRoo there anyway because she is my baby, and I wanted the best for her. But when I arrived around 2:00 a.m., the atmosphere felt cold, unfriendly, and centered on money rather than care. There was no warmth, no reassurance, and no sense that anyone truly cared about the frightened little animal I brought through the door. That experience upset me deeply. I ended up leaving, waking a trusted friend in the middle of the night, someone knowledgeable with animals, someone RooRoo knows and loves. Within two minutes, the ticks were removed calmly and safely in an environment of trust and kindness. That contrast said everything. I understand businesses must charge for services. I respect professionals being paid for their skill and time. But when an emergency clinic appears more concerned with profit than compassion, it leaves a lasting impression. When a vulnerable animal is involved, empathy should come first. What I saw that night felt like greed, indifference, and a complete lack of heart. I will never return. My RooRoo deserved comfort and care. Instead, we were met with a cash register.

    ***Jackson doesn't have a lot of options for after-hours animal care, so you may want to consider…read moreand plan where you may want to take your pet in Memphis or Nashville should illness/emergency strike.*** I am writing this review on behalf of my parents who are so heartbroken and devastated right now by the neglect and abuse their dog endured at Jackson Pet Emergency Clinic on N. Highland Ave. I hope this review prevents other pets and families from being subjected to the horrible events we encountered here. Winston, the sweet, loving, funny bulldog you see pictured, had unfortunately undergone a botched surgery at another facility. Suspecting infection/sepsis, my parents brought him to this animal hospital. My parents entrusted Winston and his health to this hospital. He wasn't eating, drinking, and seemed to be in severe amounts of pain. When my family went to visit their beloved pet, his IV had come out. It's unknown how long it was out, but he wasn't getting the fluids and antibiotics he desperately needed. When my family asked when the doctor would be coming to evaluate Winston, they were told they were "waiting for the GOOD doctor to come on shift". The timeframe kept getting longer and longer. We were constantly being told how other animals were being prioritized over our dog, despite their ailments being less critical (like a broken bone vs. septic shock). Meanwhile, we could tell Winston was fading. We were told the IV wasn't being replaced due to "edema", though the only swollen part on him was his surgical site and the area where the IV had come out (obviously infiltrated; there was no reason to not restart the IV on a different limb). We kept asking about testing for sepsis and treating for infection, but we were brushed off repeatedly. Winston was at this hospital nearly 48 hours before he eventually, slowly, painfully died. This death was tragic and unnecessary. My parents entrusted their beloved pet to this hospital in the hopes his infection would be treated, but instead Winston was neglected and ignored. He was visibly weak and miserable, but the vet tech Kayla chose to drag him across the floor by a leash tied around his neck as opposed to treating this ill, innocent pet with care and dignity. His surgical site was weeping fluid, but we were told this was "rust from a filing cabinet". We BEGGED staff to take us seriously, but no one did, and we lost our best friend for it. I am writing this in the hopes no one else suffers the untimely, premature loss of their pet like my family has. We not only lost a piece of our hearts, but had to watch our fur-baby suffer needlessly. If he had gotten the antibiotics, IV fluids, and CARE that he needed, Winston wouldn't have had to endure slow suffering while infection drained him, and we wouldn't have had to endure the trauma of helplessly watching, begging for help, and being ignored.

I was told to drop the dog off , due to corona I couldn't sit in the waiting room as I normally do. I came back picked my dog up went to the counter to pay my $75.00 and was told it would be $271.00 due to an ear infection that they treated Maxie for. I did not receive a call asking for permission to treat my dog nor was I asked if I could afford an additional $200.00. I went back and forth about how I should have been consulted but the staff acted as if it was nothing wrong with diagnosing and treating my dog without permission. So that I wouldn't end up making the news I paid the fee and let the staff know that I would never be back. These people have absolutely no customer service skills. Its common sense to ask someone if you are going outside the scope of what was agreed upon to ask questions before you assumed that one could pay more or even want the treatment. For all I know they made something up to charge more money. I will be consulting the BBB
