Affordable, caring, accommodating. Highly recommend!! Best vet clinic in the area. We have been customers for years.

Worst animal hospital in Denton, Please Please PLEASE do not come here for anything wether minor or severe, I took my dog here two weeks ago because he seemed off, he was old and having issue breathing and vomiting everywhere. The doctor dismissed it as "stomach issues" and gave him a shot and pills for the nausea. Two weeks later as in today, we had to put our dog down because his heart was inflamed and he was full of fluid and had a mass! Our dog had been suffering for weeks and the vet dismissed it as stomach issues ! Worst animal hospital ever. read more

The vet recommended surgery for a hairline fracture, even suggested to amputate his leg if I can't afford surgery. This man was not kind only looking for money. My kitty 1 week in is already walking after he told me it would be 8 weeks if he got better. He should be ashamed. read more

Have used Dr. Cody for over 10 years. I have always had good experiences. I would highly recommend.

Totally agree with the recent reviewers complaining about the quality of care regarding our pets. For over ten years, we came to Dr. Bullock. This place is not the same anymore. The quality of care went way down and the lack of empathy is zero. Also, their prices went up like everyone else, so there is really no incentive to go to this place anymore. Too bad, it used to be a decent place and we recommended them to all of our friends and neighbors. We moved our pets to another vet in town. read more

Beware South Denton Animal Hospital. The people are nice enough but the care provided is incompetent at best. They let my cat die in 2019 because they dismissed a serious respiratory issue as asthma and gave him a steroid shot. This was a recurring issue and at the end we'd brought him three times in the week and saw no improvement. By the time they figured out there was actually a blood clot in his lungs it was too late and we had to put him to sleep. They let a second cat of mine suffer over these past few days because we took her in because she'd lost a lot of weight very suddenly despite eating a whole lot, he did x-rays and flagged her enlarged spleen and the fact she had been eating litter (which we knew and is part of why we took her in) but somehow missed that fluid was building up in her lungs despite listening to her breathing with the stethoscope for three solid minutes while we watched. We had to take her to the emergency vet last night to be put to sleep and they were the ones who told us. Meanwhile SDAH just prescribed her medicine for her metabolism and some vitamins. If you love your pets do not take them here. They will never be trusted with my cats again. read more

I've been bringing my Chiweenies with attitude to Dr Cody for 7 going on 8 years now and we love this office. Over the years we have mostly just needed the vet for annual checkups and vaccinations, but there have been a few times that our dogs have needed care for illness (kennel cough), allergic reactions or mystery back pain. Dr Cody has always been kind and thorough and has cared for my dogs well. He has made weekend phone calls to our house when we have left messages on the emergency voicemail with questions or concerns about what our dogs are experiencing at the time, and I have really appreciated him for that. I highly recommend Dr Cody and this office. read more

Having had no experience here, but knowing what other offices have been like in the loss of a pet, I would like to give this place ZERO stars... one is generous. They want to charge extra if you want to be present to put your furr family member asleep - what the helll do they do differently if you are not there?!? I suppose in retrospect, I would have liked to know and wish I would have paid the extra fee. Upon arrival to bring a pet in distress at the end of their life... I was asked to "take a seat." Are you kidding me?!? I would never bring any living thing to this place... EVER. Lack of empathy is an understatement. NEVER AGAIN. read more

This place has gone down hill. We have used this vet and their office for well over 10+yrs and it's not what it used to be. The girls up front are extremely rude and have no compassion towards pet owners if in a bad situation (dying dog). The amount of attitude dripping off of 99% of the staff including Cody is astounding. I'd rather pay more and be treated properly than to return here. read more

Completely disagree with recent reviews. I find it shocking because this is the best vet I've found in Denton and Tarrant counties. Very affordable (by far in my experience) and Cody is super caring with our pets. Office staff is professional and kind. I think some people may have unrealistic expectations when it comes to scheduling. They are good... so they stay busy! read more

This used to be the Vet people talked about but they have progressively gotten worse. I used to take my animals here and didn't have much trouble. Now, they have gotten very rude and inconvenient. They have dismissed my animals on more than one occasion and could care less. Staff is horrible and the Vet also is rarely available anymore. If you want a friendly, personable, Vet with good staff, I would look elsewhere. All the good Vets aren't in Denton anymore. read more

I have been going to SDAH for as long as I can remember with my mom and grandparents. Always taken care of in a timely manner. The staff has always been helpful, caring, and nice. Wouldn't change vets unless I absolutely needed to. Love Cody and the whole team. Plan on taking my own dogs here once I get them. read more

Dr. Cody is the best! He really cares about your animals and it shows in the work he does. His prices are so reasonable and his quality of care is amazing. He has been seeing my 14 year old yorkie for around 8 years, and treats her like one of his own. He was referred to me by a friend, and I'm so glad we found him! read more

Have had taken my cats in for years, went to make appointment and told that i am in their system but because it's been 3 years since last visit, i am considered new client and they are not taking new clients. So much for taking care of old clients. If it's been a while since your last visit, don't waste your time calling....LOOK FOR ANOTHER PLACE read more

I am disappointed in the care my precious dog received on 6/3. I told Dr Cody that my dog had stopped eating and drinking on 6/2 and was not urinating. Her whole belly felt tight to me. He told me she had Allergies. this evening 6/4 after not eating drinking or urinating for The 2nd day in a row I took her to an Emergency Vet where she was actually assessed. Diagnosed with a bad UTI. The vet said Her bladder was so full it was about to burst. I am angry that my doggie had to suffer more due to lack of care received at this clinic read more

I brought my dog here for his yearly shots and look over. Dr.Cody said my dog was "just not very good at all" as far as how he looked. He told me my dog had hip dysplasia and made me feel like it was my fault. He made me feel stupid and like i was a terrible owner. I was crying by the time i left the exam room. This is the vet my mom uses and that is why I tried them out. I'm not usually one to complain, and I mean he was knowledgeable and my dog got the shots for a great price. Just how Dr.Cody treated me and spoke to me truly effected me to this day and I just want to write this in hopes that he will realize that being rude to customers is not a smart move. My dog is MY LIFE. I feed him premium food, I have always gotten his shots and heart worm meds. I would die for my dog, so to sit there and have a vet basically call me a crappy owner hurt very bad. The "not very good at all" comment really struck me as like "wow did he really just say that?" Would a human doctor dare to say that about someone's child? No. He also made me feel like a bad owner because my dog is not fixed. He is only 3 and my friends found him as a stray in the country when I was in college. I couldn't afford the surgery then, but now I can, and I had wanted to talk about options with Dr.Cody that day. I wanted to get my dog neutered here. But the more and more I have mulled over the experience it just makes me wonder if my dog will be in caring hands or not. If you choose to go here, just know Dr. Cody holds nothing back. He just tells you how it is without any efforts of being kind. Maybe he was having a bad day. Its understandable. But he sure as hell made me have a bad day. And the days that followed. read more

Dr Cody is one of the best vets I've dealt with. I've taken several dogs here over the years and continue to get great service. Recently I had an issue with my corgi and took him here after a trip to the animal ER and Cody took great care of him and helped explain the reality of the situation to me vs what the ER vet said. The office and even Dr Cody himself called me to check on my dog's recovery which I appreciated. I was a wreck after my trip to the ER, bit after talking to him and seeing that my little guy is ok I feel a ton better. read more

If I could give them zero stars, I would. After being quite specific with the vet, I insisted that they do lab work on my Corgi. He'd been very sick at his stomach, throwing up and smelled acidic. I told them all of his symptoms. The vet dismissed me and said he had allergies. A few weeks later I asked for blood work since he'd had a personality change too. I was dismissed again and told that the bloodwork was fine. Cut to a couple of months later and we are out of town. Our dog gets really sick and I take him to a local vet in SC. Had the bloodwork sent from Denton vet. They IMMEDIATELY noticed his pancreatic numbers were wrong from the lab tests we had done at S. Denton. After thousands of dollars and almost losing my dog (who had been in horrible pain for months now), we find he has an aggressive intestinal disease. When I asked for records to be sent to another local vet so I can continue care, they don't send over all of them or say they don't have them. I am beyond angry and upset that my best friend had to endure pain for months because they churn people and their pets out the door in lightening speed. If you want cheap, they are your peeps. But if you care about your animal, do not go to these people. The staff is cold and remote (probably because you are in there for a whopping 10 minutes) and the doctor is abrupt and unprofessional. read more

When he had an issue with scheduling and availability, Dr Cody called us directly to address our needs with our 12 yo Boxer. He is going above and beyond to help is during a very sensitive and emotional time. He is an amazing vet. read more

Dr.Cody is very good with animals and he and his staff did a great job with my sweet baby. I definitely recommend this place. Good business

We have taken our dog to Doc Bullock since he was a pet. The staff is always fast and efficient. I love the advice and treatment he's given us along the way and the reminders for upcoming visits. They are able to pivot and treat pets through the Covid craziness by coming out to your car and taking your dog in. Always have had a great experience with them. read more

I never really write negative reviews, but I had such a bad experience here that I feel the need to warn other cat owners about it. This was my second time to come to South Denton Animal Clinic. I have two cats, so the first time to come with my more gentle cat went pretty smoothly. However, my other cat gets aggressive when he is afraid and therefore does really badly at the vet. I warned the front desk about this when calling for the appointment and once more when checking in, informing them that at my old vet, the cat had to be sedated. When I went in, Dr. Bullock chose not to sedate him and give him his vaccinations straight away. Of course, my cat freaked out and started hissing and trying to scratch him. While trying to get the cat back in his carrier, Dr. Bullock told me to "never bring him in here again". I lightheartedly mentioned that at home, he's really good, but it's just at the vet that he's terrible. Dr. Bullock replied that "at home is not my concern" and that my cat was "the devil." Look, I get that nobody would be happy with an animal actively trying to attack them. But Dr. Bullock's unprofessional and rude behavior was completely out of line. I had already warned them about my cat's aggressiveness, and it was Dr. Bullock's decision not to sedate him. I know that my cat is way more aggressive than most, but Dr. Bullock is a vet. He should be prepared for animals not to be super happy about seeing him. I will grant Dr. Bullock's wish and never bring either of my cats back to him. I would also encourage other cat owners to seriously consider a different vet. read more

Impressed on my first visit. I didn't wait too long, felt I had adequate face time and Dr. Cody was knowledgeable and efficient. We will return. read more

This is one of the better, and more affordable vets in Denton. Service is efficient and friendly, and you really can't beat the prices. They even have a couple of hospital kitties "working" as greeters! read more

Excellent service and reasonable prices!!! While this office is not fancy, we the service and Dr. Cody are top notch. Thank you for taking care of our fur babies! read more

Hands down the best (and most affordable) vet I have ever met! I LOVE CODY. Here are reasons why: CODY HIMSELF: - No matter how long of a day he has had, he will greet you and your furry soulmate with a happy grin on his face. He is probably under a huge amount of stress, and it's great that he still has the energy to exhibit such warmth towards humans and animals alike! - I do wish he is more thorough with his explanations. I sometimes feel like I'm rushed through his office visit - but this is entirely understandable as he is a VERY busy vet. HOURS: - Fantastic hours!!!!! I love that his Saturday's are opened and most of his weekdays are opened until very late. I can ensure that I'm home on time after work to bring my dog for a checkup. - They are also extremely flexible with scheduling. Walk-in's are accepted! They are not like those pretentious vet offices that force you to schedule two months in advance. PRICES: - I have tried out several other vets in both Denton and Houston - none of their prices can beat Cody's. - He doesn't call for procedures that are unnecessary and may end up costing you a fortune. You can trust that when you bring your sick pet to Cody, he will prescribe the right medications without adding in extraneous examination fees or procedural fees. He also won't try to shove sponsored products down your throat like many of the vet offices these days. - Also, the medications that he prescribe cost about the same online (if not, even cheaper) - he is not in this business for the money, folks! - For example, an office visit costs $30 here, which is the standard fee at most vets. However, the heartworm meds (Iverhart) are only $25 here - compared to $35-$80 at other vets I have been to!!! The vaccination package is only $64, unlike the $250 I was quoted at another vet in Houston. - Another example - - I took my dog here for a recurrent ear infection. Cody examined her and prescribed us Surolan ($24). We walked out of there with a bill of $54, and a dog with healthy ears a week later. - After moving to Houston, I had to find another vet. Dog had another ear infection again. Went to the new vet in Houston. The vet had to do an ear swab to verify that it was a bacterial infection. Prescribed me Surolan, as well, and an ototic cleaner. Total bill? $350. That's about 6x more expensive than Cody's charges for the SAME infection treated by the SAME medication. Thanks for not ripping people off, Cody!!! PICK CODY. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. read more

Best veterinarian! He learned from the best Nub. Well worth the drive up from east Dallas. read more

South Denton Animal Hospital - Drove an hour and half to get here this morning. Best vet in Texas! Well worth the drive. My baby girl is getting spayed today. - Veterinarians Near Me - Denton, Texas

People like this place because they're cheap. Most of the issues stem from the fact that they only have one vet and he's overbooked. You won't get in to see Dr. Cody until half an hour past your appointment time and then they'll do everything they can to rush you out so they can get to the next person. He brushes off questions, doesn't address concerns, and won't listen to any objections. He states his diagnosis and then fills out the chart, if you have questions he tells you not to be worried about it and doesn't look up again. None of the staff make you or your pet feel like they want you to be there, or that they actually care about the health and well-being of their patients. We visited at least five separate times with our dogs and always received the same treatment, but the majority of reviews said they were great and we are new to the area, with a new house, new jobs, a new dog with health issues, and an elderly dog with issues requiring monitoring and prescriptions, so we tried to stick it out. Until I visited on a weekday morning, appointment scheduled a week ahead of time, with an issue for which we had tried several researched home remedies. He told us to get a cone for our dog to wear when he's in his crate and we're not home. When I expressed concerns that he has gotten around cones before and destroys anything left in his crate with him, the vet told me there was no way he could get around a cone if it was the right size. We went straight to Petco (because the vet doesn't have cones...) and they helped me find the fit the vet suggested and get it on correctly. By the time we got out of the car at home, the cone was already damaged such that he can get around it. So much for it being impossible! Maybe if he had taken two minutes out of his day to listen to the person who lives with the dog we could have skipped this step and tried something that will work. I got more help from an online advice page. Three weeks after posting the same review on Google, I reached out to the office out of desperation for a prescription refill during a particularly busy schedule and I was told they would not serve my family again because of my rating. No one from their office ever made any effort to contact me to address my concerns, either about my pets health or their own customer service. It is incredibly unprofessional to address concerns with rejection rather than attempted resolution. Especially when it is delivered by front desk employees with the office manager nowhere to be seen--I'm not even sure who the manager is. Because of their utter lack of desire to assist patients or improve care in any way, I have deducted another star from my rating. read more

Dr. Cody has been our vet for almost a decade. I found him through a mom at Sam Houston Elementary. Always there when you need him. Great staff. Not a bad thing I could think of to say read more

I've been in here several times with both of my German Shepherds, I can't say enough great things! The vet and the office staff are nothing short of kind and professional, rates are reasonable and they've always been very flexible. Can't thank these guys enough! read more

SDAM is ok for routine checkup not much else. Front staff is not very friendly and it goes on from there. Like an assembly line, in and out, and on to the next animal. No real concern for the animal at all. Not once did I get a return call to see how the pet was doing after a very serious life threatening illness. Argyle Vet is 100 percent better. Always check to see how the animal is doing the next day. Take time to console you during rough times. read more

I've been using South Denton Animal Hospital for years. I love the veternarian and have refer several of pur clients to him. (I operate doggie boarding a grooming salons). Our clients have also been very happy with him. I took my 15 year old 3 pound yorkie. For teeth extractions and cleaning and was reallly scared. Everything went well. Also my Shih Tzu puppy bit Dr Bullock on her first visit, which he made no big deal of and went ahead and gave her the vaccines and exam. I feel secure that I have a vet that I can rely on, that's not over priced and does a great job. Thank you South Denton Animal Hospital. read more

Rudest staff you will ever encounter. I will never return. Why a vet allows his staff to continously behave rudely. If your pet needs prescription food, good luck getting a script out of them. If the staff is that rude to the customers, imagine what kind of hands your pets are left in when no one is watching. read more

Took my dog here 4 months ago for panting & pacing all of a sudden for several days in a row for no apparent reason - typically signs of pain and/or stress. Cody Bullock did a brief - maybe 2 mins max - and said "he's healthy but has allergies." No meds, no instructions except to stop feeding him "grain-free and human foods. He will get everything he needs from dog food!" They rush us out the door to literally stand in line to pay for the visit - it was that short of a visit - the appt. before ours hadn't finished checking out! Anyhow, 3 months later my dog is still stressed in the evenings though the thunderstorms& fireworks are over, and the biggest clue is that he doesn't want to swim - normally all he lives for!! I check his ears to find 1 has dried blood and immediately call Dr. Bullock for a follow-up. 2 days worth of messages - can't get an answer & no return calls!! Ends up that what may have started as a simple ear infection is now a major inner ear infection with inflamed eyes, loss of balance, hearing loss, etc. BESIDES THE PAIN HE DIDN'T HAVE TO ENDURE!! Once the infection progresses to the inner ear, it is dangerous & difficult to treat! Save your animal & yourself from this place! Supposedly, it was wonderful before Cody Bullock took over. Now it is all about "turning tables" as they say except they turn animals! read more

Years later, still a HUGE fan of Dr. Cody and the amazing staff here. The prices are affordable and the care is the best I've ever encountered. I have a beagle that has serious food and environmental allergies as well as IBD. He's never run exorbitant test on her to call a spade a spade. With previous dogs he has been kind and supportive with end of life decisions and fully understands that your pet is your family. I personally prefer a vet who is going to take a conservative approach and apply the most simple solution to the problem. For example, with Emma, she's on a tight food regimen with added vitamins and supplements, holistic treatments to address her horrible itching and allergies and a daily probiotic to keep her digestive tract happy. When she has a flare up of the IBD, instead of expensive medicines and treatments, he recommended a simple solution of pepto bismol, bland food cocktail and Pepcid that I can administer at home. It's worked beautifully and my wallet is very happy. The allergies are more difficult to treat, but he doesn't push the latest medication (amoquel?) as the side effects can be worse than the benefit. Can't say enough good and wish there more vets like him. read more

Very disappointed with this clinic!! They are very cheap but please take your pet somewhere else. You see the vet for maybe 10 min and he doesn't even care about you or your pet. He didn't even listen to my concerns about my dog and was in a hurry to get us out of the door. My dog has a bad leg that I wanted him to look at and his response was "well he won't calm down for me to look at it so there's nothing we can do". He also prescribed my dog expired heartworm preventative!!! They overbook and it is very hard to get another appointment. Last time I was in I was seen an hour after my appointment time. Front desk staff is also rude. read more

Compassionate, reality-based veterinary care. Pricing is reasonable and care is exceptional. read more

Well I am in need of a veterinarian but after what happened to a friend of mine, I'll look elsewhere. She had taken her two dogs in for procedures and was called several hours later and told to come pick them up, they were not going to be treated, and to find another vet. Why? Because she had sought reduced pricing for heart worm and other routine Meds via the internet. Of course the provider contacted the doctor for a prescription and the doctor apparently took exception to this. Was it because they were not purchasing from the doctor and he was not receiving the profits? Was it because the safety and quality of the Meds via the Internet are questionable? Ok, just explain that. We are on fixed incomes and must try to keep expenses down, which is not unlike most people, working or retired. Apparently this situation was known by all in the office because nothing was said to us by anyone when we entered the office, but her two dogs were quickly delivered to her. I have to say that the young woman that brought them out was very sweet but otherwise nothing at all was said to her. Not, please wait while we get your dogs, sorry for the inconvenience, kiss my foot, nothing. Granted, I was a bystander and not privy to all of the details, but I saw enough lack of professionalism to keep me away. Glad many of you have had better experiences. I'm not willing to take the risk for myself or my boys. read more

My family has been using South Denton Animal Hospital for over 16 years. Once the original owner died, Cody took over. It has always been busy there but not it's to the point that he is overbooking. I don't tend to leave reviews of places but I wanted to share my concerns. My mother and I took 2 of our dogs in for shots, trim their nails and to get heartworm medicine refills. After getting the name of our dogs and our household file, one of the many receptionists said that we had to do blood work right off the bat. This was something that the dogs never had checked so my mother asked why it was being checked now when it never had before. It was obvious that this person was upset that a question was asked. She was apparently so offended that she made notes in the chart about it. One of the first things Cody did was start laying into my mom about why this was being checked. Telling someone the reasoning for doing something is fine. We wanted to know more about what was happening because it concerns our dogs. It's the way he went about telling us this that concerns me. When my mom tried saying something, Cody immediately went "Nanananana" to make her stop talking. He did this multiple times. He even said that this was something that he "has to do now" and is being generous by making the check every "3-4 years instead of 1". When asked about when this policy came out, he dodged the question. Even being asked multiple times he wouldn't answer the question. Once Cody was done with his checks, we went back to the reception desk. During this time I could tell the every one of the receptionists was acting weird. I paid for the blood test, shots, nail clippings and refills on the heartworm medicine. The receptionist were very passive aggressive towards both my mother and I. We didn't want to make a scene about how awful they were so we left. Of all the years going here, this was the first time that I got to see the staff and Cody's true personality. They had never acted rude before this visit and once upon a time I would have whole heartedly recommended them to anyone. This told me that Cody is someone that doesn't want someone to question anything he says because apparently his word is Law. To "Nanananana" someone asking a question is extremely rude when they are trying to ask something. Why such questions were so hard to answer is weird. Why he dodged other questions makes me question his motives towards my family's dogs. I want my dogs to continue to be happy little fluffs but I can't do that without being able to ask questions. This visit showed me that he has a bad attitude if something doesn't go smoothly for him. It also showed me his staff can't handle being asked questions without being offended. Go see Cody at your own accord. If you don't ask questions you should be fine. read more

The best of the best! The whole team is so good to all four of my fur babies. They put such care into each visit and never run unnecessary tests. My Doberman is in love with all the nurses and particularly smitten with Dr.Cody. Every time Dr.cody comes into the waiting room to call in the next patient Zeus does a happy dance and starts whining uncontrollably. My French bulldog on the other hand is terrible at the vet and violently shakes and growls the entire time. Dr.Cody takes no offense to it and treats her with as much love as our Doberman. Wouldn't ever go anywhere else. read more
