Before my dog was mine, he was in a really unfortunate situation that included his owner passing away, and the people who took over neglected him severely. He came to us with a mouth full of rotting teeth that had to come out, and Dr. Abebe absolutely changed his life! He has become so playful and confident and I 100% attribute it to the care he receives at Pitts. Also wanted to shout out who I believe is their office manager - I suck at names but he is awesome too! read more

This is the best vet for later hours, other than Emergency Vet. I went here for years, back to when the Pitts owned it, and I loved several of the vets over that time. They would do everything, including maybe being late for the next appointment, to help your sick pet. They would personally call back to answer questions. Since they've sold out to a corporation, EVERYTHING I loved about it is gone. They used to have several pets they would foster if a client passed away etc. You knew they would find them good caring homes, so I asked the last vet I went to there if they would help with that if I needed them. You would have thought I asked him to be a sperm donor, he was so appalled. Of course, I felt like a prize moron. Maybe he could have just explained that they couldn't? I ended up tracking down one of their past vets, and moved to where she went. It's been years since I visited, and maybe I'm not being fair, but it was really traumatic losing the small-town feel of that place. Another casualty of COVID? The one place I really knew I could count on to care for my pets even if I couldn't. read more

I had to have my sweet kitty put down unexpectedly and called for help. Even tho " Stripe" was nit a patient there we were treated with so much compassion from every employee there from start to finish. They got us in immediately and were very compassionate from the first phone I made until we left without ' Stripe". Dr Hillman was so gentle and loving with my cat and had many words of comfort and we did not feel rushed at all. If and when I decide to ever get another pet I will definately be coming to Pitt's for their care. Thank you so much for making this extremely painful experience more tolerable. Your entire staff was awesome read more

Update: Our cat had to be euthanized by the emergency vet the same night Pitt's was too busy to see us. This is two days after he was seen. The emergency vet was shocked to find out that Pitt's didn't run any blood work on our cat. The blood work ended up showing that our cat was in kidney and heart failure. Been bring our cat here for about a decade. He is having serious urinary problems and may be dying. Called at 5:30 (they close at 8:00) because we saw them 2 days ago for urinary obstruction and our cat isn't able to urinare and isn't moving or eating. The receptionist had to "check with the dr to see if they were willing to see him, because it was up to the vet". She came back into the phone and "unfortunately, they're JUST TOO BUSY" to see our potentially dying cat that they have been seeing for almost a decade. I don't recommend them. We've been paying for their overpriced services thinking they would be here when we really needed them, and they absolutely are not. They are money hungry and heartless. If our cat makes it through this, we will be switching vets and will never look back. read more

We have been clients at Pitts since 1977 and would not consider going anywhere else. Over the years they have taken wonderful care of eleven of our dogs and two cats. We have never had anything but exceptional care, The vets, techs and office personnel have often gone above and beyond to be there for all of their needs, as well as our needs. You could not go wrong with Pitts. They are THE BEST. read more

We have been there for over 20 years, since they remodeled, our vet from there is gone. The service we have received from them since the remodel happened is way less than the old Pitts, and yes we are now taking all our business elsewhere, the office is rude, fails to return calls and hasn't figured out that you get emotional when these furry kids are your kids. You want compassion don't head there. They really need to work on their staff and the business manager needs to learn about customer relations and, ya we won't be back. read more

Pitts has always taken care of my animals in the 30 years I've been in this town. Always nice and always respectable people who work there. At times, they would let me have alone time to say my last goodbye to my cats. read more

My foster dog was neutered at Pitts yesterday and this morning they sent him home with massive bright red bruising that I first thought was razor burn. I took him right back and they told me that it was completely normal. I have been doing rescue for 20 years and have had countless dogs spayed and neutered, and had never ever seen anything like this. They had the medical director call me and she also assured me that this was completely normal. This is NOT normal. If this is what they tell people who have not seen numerous neuters they would probably believe them, and this could endanger their pet. Do not take your pets to this business. A business that tells you massive bright red bruising is normal after a simple neuter should not be trusted with your precious pets. read more

Stuff has changed since the original vet left. They don't return calls and I feel like they charge for tests that you don't need to make more money. read more

Your pet is part of your family. You expect them to be treated as such. If you want caring, efficient, knowledgeable veterinary care Do Not go to Pitts. You and your pet are like cattle there. I took my 14 1/2 yr old Bassett in to quietly, patiently, pain free and comfortably drift to sleep. It was the opposite of that. I had called in so they knew we were coming. He is put on a cold, steel, hard observation table and we were forced to sit there forever and wait. It took two Vet's (?) 5 times to get the IV in. No wonder he tried to nip her. I am telling you I still have terrible memories of his last hour. That is not right. I still cringe and shake when I drive by. I have guilt and regret every day for taking him to Pitts. It will always be a hurtful memory. read more

I wish I would have gotten five star service at Pitts Animal Hospital, but my experience was not as bright and shiny as the rest of these reviews seem to be. The doctor never asked me anything about my cat, did not introduce himself and was all around blah. Perhaps this is his approach or personality, but what I want when I get to it is warm and ask me questions about my animals and is engaging. I dot even think he took his temperature. The girls said they thought he hated his job. I do have to say that he was really great in terms of getting my cat a towel when he decide to pee and poop in his carrier. In that way he was wonderful. I would also say the front of the house was friendly and in a pinch I would use Pitts again but not on a regular basis. read more

Been going to Pitts for more than 35 years with our pets. From dogs and cats to even a box turtle. I appreciate their expertise. You can be confident they will give your pets the very best care at affordable costs. read more

My Wife and I were traveling with our 3 dogs when our oldest dog, Pete, suddenly took ill. We had adopted Pete almost 2 years ago, and knew he had cancer when we adopted him, but were shocked at the rapid decline he made practically overnight. By morning he was refusing food, very thirsty, could not rise unassisted and could walk only a few steps and then would pant terribly. I phoned Pitts clinic and made an appointment for the evening @ 815 so as to have time with Pete after work. Shana was very kind and understanding and made the appointment with only a few questions, as it was hard for me to speak given the circumstances. By the time I came back from work, my wife said that we needed to move the appt up as soon as we could, because Petes breathing was labored and it was apparent he was in distress. Again, the staff took my call and assured me that although they couldn't give me an appointment, that I could bring Pete in asap and they would work us in. The staff and Dr. Terry were very kind in our hour of need. Dr. Terry commended us for giving Pete 2 wonderful years with the cancer and reassurance that we were doing a kindness for Pete. If I lived in Lincoln, this would be my vet for all my fur-kids. I am amazed at the hours they keep, very valuable to the community to do that, most practices cannot keep those hours and would charge extra for after hours after 5 or 6 pm. Thank you so very much and God bless you in your work! Very loving, compassionate and empathetic staff! read more

I would recommend Pitt's to any dog owner. They have very flexible hours and a honest, practical approach to veterinary medicine. The prices are a little more that other places but they do things the right way. read more

I recently adopted a dog from the Humane Society. I've been doing business with Pitts on and off for 2 decades and they had been great with my cats. Dr. Falloon was compassionate and good with my dog. I love the fact that they have evening hours. I'd recommend them to anybody! read more

Pros: Long hours, easy to get appointments at last minute Cons: Expensive. This vet keeps charging full price over and over and over if multiple visits are needed for the same medical problem. I needed to make a vet appointment on fairly short notice and my normal vet was booked solid, so I went to Pitts Vet instead. The vet made a diagnosis and gave me some medication. That medication did not work, so I had to come back. At my normal vet, if the first diagnosis is not correct, they do not charge full price for the second visit, only medication or what not. This vet, no such luck. I was charged full price for the second visit. I do not know if this medication will work either. If any further visits are needed, my pet is going to my normal vet. At least after the first visit, I won't be charged, and charged, and charged, for errors and multiple visits for a fairly simple medical issue that should have been solved on the first visit. read more

Pitts is the only vet in Lincoln that I trust. They take such amazing care of our two dogs. My dogs feel so comfortable when they walk in the door, unlike other vet offices that we've visited. I trust every doctor's judgement. They took a tumor out of one of my dogs' leg and treated the other one for a stomach issue. Both cases were successful and a quick fix. I'm so glad that I found them! read more

They do a fantastic job caring for my high energy pup. Great hours and they are always able to see my pup on short notice for emergencies which really helps. The prices are decent and all of the staff are so nice. Best vet clinic in town. read more

I love the staff and the attention they pay to my pets. They take their jobs seriously and lovingly! I highly recommend Pitts. Especially for the number of doctors on staff and the technology. They are able to do many procedures in office (X-rays, ultrasounds, etc). My pets get amazing care here! read more

5 paws up for the Pitts Vet Hospital. Everyone is so kind and loves their job. All the doc's are great and know what they're doing but my very favorite for our pets (cat, dog, and assorted rodents/birds over the years) is Dr. Hiebner. She greets and talks to your animal the moment she comes into the room. She was so compassionate when we had to put our old dog down, even sending a sympathy card, later. She understands that our pets are an extension of our family. read more

I highly recommend Pitts. I just had my dog's teeth cleaned, and they did a fantastic job. I talked to three different vets in the process of intake, surgery, post-surgery. They were all knowledgeable and friendly. Best of all, my dog was treated well, and not at all traumatized by the anesthesia or surgery. I'll go there again for sure! read more

They do have flexible hours. They are open in the evenings and on Saturdays for regular appointments, not just emergencies. They do not have the most state of the art equipment, but their prices are reasonable. The Pitts are very caring and have been helping Lincoln pets for years. read more

Pitt's is as good as it gets. Knowledgeable, compassionate, flexible. Would not consider going anywhere else.

Pitts as been so good, caring, compassionate and state of the art when it comes to dogs. My Austin Alexander has a terminal cancer and has survived with of course his ups and downs for almost 2 years. His diagnosis was not good. giving him only 3-6 months. Dr. Falloon is an excellent surgeon and doctor without hesitation. Mandalyn and Brenda are exceptional at the front desk......i feel at home with ALL of them. There isnt one doctor I would not recommend and the staff is Excellent !! Another wonderful aspect is that they are open until 10 pm and ALWAYS have an On Call Doctor to awnser any emergent questions. We are so greatful for them.........Kim, Chris & of course Austin Alexander :-) read more

They advertise exotic and reptile care, but I tried getting my bearded dragon in and they said they had no one there that cares for reptiles. This is advertised on more than one page for them, so this is very disappointing. They told me to call petco or petsmart to ask for help!!! :O read more
