Little kitty

The only reason we started going to this Vet is because we rescued 2 of our pets from the Houston SPCA. Regardless, 3 days ago my husband rescued a kitten from the middle of the road in our neighborhood and we took it to the VCA hospital the next day. They said she was dehydrated and malnourished but healthy. They said she had no fleas and her gums looked great and the weird noise I heard was just her purring. They gave her some fluids and sent her home with me. The next afternoon I came home from work and the kitten was collapsed in the room and barely responding to my touch or noises(we kept her separated from my other pets). I called the VCA and they had no time to see me and told me to go to a nearby Animal Hospital. I arrived at the animal hospital and they immediately took her and said the little kitten was COVERED in fleas, and was basically dying FAST. They said she had pneumonia and fluid in her lungs. This is literally 24 hours after being told she was healthy at the VCA. They recommended humane euthanasia because they did not think she would survive the transport to an animal hospital for a blood transfusion. I'm so distraught, and angry with the VCA and they have lost my business from me and my 4 pets we have at home. Rest In Peace little Kitten (Pip)

JAXX, Man's & Family security guard & Best Friend!

I've been taking our pet (Pit Bull) to the VCA's Westside Animal Hospital since we brought him back from Northeast Ohio as a pup. He enjoys his visits to the VCA whether it be for a bath, boarding, checkups, vaccinations or illness (believe me, the VCA rescue him from the jaws of death) and we appreciate everything they have done for JAXX! Their welcoming staff are tremendous, and the Techs & Vets handle our boy like he's their own!!! Well done VCA you are much appreciated for taking care of our pet...Thank you.

Rocky

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Dr. Shane Vanderford and his dedicated staff for taking such wonderful care of my beloved cat, Rocky. He is an 11 year old indoor cat who recently developed kidney failure. Dr. Vanderford was so compassionate, supportive, and caring and fought hard for my little sidekick. The entire staff were absolutely exceptional. The team allowed me to call as often as I wanted to check on Rocky without judgement. They were very thorough and gentle when explaining procedures, etc. Dr. Vanderford even took the time to call me often when Rocky was staying at the hospital. Thank you VCA!

So, I've been coming here for about 2+ years now. I visited this location when "Ace" was a pup and still continuing to come here and grow with this place. I transferred my other dog Daisy here from Banfield in Pearland (because the manager got my number from the system and started to text me personally, which was strange..) I'd like to start off with the appearance of the place, good location but busy spot right off of the corner of 518 and across the street from Walgreens. The atmosphere is friendly and the employees are sweet. I always enjoyed calling and talking to Jesse (she no longer works there...*sad face*) actually there's a lot of old employees who started there when I began my pup journey with Ace and now no longer work there which is sad but the new group is still learning and are friendly. The Vets are super friendly but I will always stick with Dr. Cupples, she is by far the NICEST and realest veterinarian I've ever met. She is super sweet, always lets me know the pros and cons about Ace and Daisy, lets me know what will save me money or lose me money, I absolutely love her and her personality. My dogs are NEVER scared when she approaches them and she's so kind and pure hearted. Daisy and Ace love her! So I've been here multiple times but I just decided to write a review because I realized I haven't written one and I chose the photos attached of Ace when he had a bad allergic reaction/infection, and some normal ones of Daisy. Ace had to wear a cone because he kept trying to scratch his head so we decided to put a cone on it. In a few weeks with the right meds and treatment plan our little guy was A-OK. Thanks to Dr. Cupples! We also like Dr. Vandeford as well. He's kind! We also live in Houston, so we make the drive to see Dr. Cupples! Highly recommend this place! Ps. Exam fee $50.

Puppy kit

It's always intimidating to find a doctors office you can trust, especially in a pandemic. After looking around on Yelp I came across this office about 15min away from me and scheduled an appt. We took our puppy for his very first check up. The staff + vet were very friendly and welcoming. I'm very happy that we were able to find a doctor we feel comfortable with. They even have us some treats for our pup!!

Kyzar age 6 months,. Ear crop by Dr. Campbell @Westside Vet in Pearland.. Amazing job
Lauren L.

We took our boy to Dr Campbell for Kyzars ear crop. She was so helpful, and did an amazing job. Anytime we had a question, she or her staff were always great! We have taken our bulldog to westside in the past, and they were great with him as well They are busy, but they are worth it! I highly recommend

We couldn't be more pleased with how our Dane's ears turned out!
Meredith F.

After numerous bad that experiences over the years, I took a recommendation to bring my great Dane puppy to Dr. Campbell for her ear cropping. We unfortunately had just lost another Dane puppy at a very young age due to an inattentive vet, and we were very paranoid this time around. Dr. Campbell made it very clear that the overall health of our dogs is more important than anything else and it shows. Her staff knows our dogs by name and I can tell our babies enjoy their time with them. They genuinely care about the pets and even recognize my voice over the phone before I tell them who's calling. I honestly believe you get what you pay for and their prices are reasonable but you know you're getting a great quality of care.

Izzy with her amazing vet, Dr. Ikleman
Elizabeth S.

Last January, my 9 year old chihuahua was attacked by my neighbor's dog. She underwent emergency surgery that night at a 24 hour facility. Three days later, Izzy was transferred to Westside and has been under their care ever since. So, it's safe to say, I have been to Westside 20+ times in the past 3 months. I've seen the doctors and staff at Westside many, many, MANY times since Izzy was first admitted, which has really given me the opportunity to get to know them on a personal basis. This is what i have learned: The doctors and staff at Westside have been extremely loving, patient and dedicated with little Izzy. Pets are always welcomed with a smile, and Izzy is often greeted by someone that recognizes her. Izzy feels very comfortable around their staff, which makes me feel at ease when dropping her off. I know she is always in good hands. Dr. Ikleman and Mr. Doleski are amazing! They have been extremely kind and helpful throughout this difficult time for my family. They truly want what is best for Izzy and for that, I am extremely grateful. Westside is not just some veterinary clinic - it's a home away from home for all of the animals in their care. They genuinely love their animals. Thank you Westside for all that you do!

Having moved further south we have been in need of a new PCV (Primary Care Veterinarian,…read moretrademarked). It's rare that we have to go to the doctor outside of our annual vaccination visits, but as my kids are aging, it's important to get periodic checkups. After looking at reviews from nearby locations, we decided to give above and beyond a try. We brought Phoebe in for a split toenail that started bleeding a little bit. They took of care of her, and got her fixed up quickly. No fuss. Dalé (Dahl-ay) went in for a suspicious scab on her chin and an old dog checkup. And she came back with perfect test results and no lasting issues. At 13 my girl is doing fantastic. Throughout our visits, the staff have been fantastic from the front desk to the technicians to the veterinarians. Everyone has been very welcoming. The dogs have been very comfortable and everything was done with such great care. In addition to bail triage we've had shots, fine needle aspirations, and urine tests. There wasn't so much as a whimper out of them. Treats and cheese make them compliant. As we were going through questions and treatment options and things like that that we discussed cost so nothing was surprising as it came through. Very appreciative of the time taken to teach and understand everything. Highly recommend this practice. Check them out.

I came…read morein and was a little worried about her tongue turning a little gray and her belly being a little tight. Come to find out, after $500, there was nothing wrong with her. They did bloodwork and x-rays and gave her medicine for a slightly enlarged liver. I feel like I should've waited a few days because she was eating and drinking normally. Anyway, I know vets are expensive, but, there has to be a better way. It was tough walking out of there, knowing nothing was wrong with her after handing over that kind of money. Anyway, they are good vets, my sister loves them and they have taken good care of her dogs.

Words can't express the gratitude I have for Dr. Jennings and the Haven Veterinary Clinic staff…read more When I moved back to the Houston area a few years ago I was so happy to come across a black AND female owned veterinary clinic that wasnt too far from my home. Cultural similarities aside, Dr. Jennings' credentials also spoke loudly to me. American Veterinary Association, Chief of Staff at Banfield for 20+ years. Texas A&M vet school. Yes, someone I can trust. Someone, who'll listen to my concerns and truly care about what's best for my pet. I confidently booked my first appointment for my dog. The staff is mild mannered, calm, gentle and always very welcoming. Dr. Jennings, the same but firm, knowledgeable and honest. Dr.Jennings always treated me with the utmost professionalism but yet with the care and concern of a dear family friend. It was clear she saw how much my little one meant to me and she wanted to provide me with the best information she had. A couple weeks ago, I was so relieved to have Haven Veterinary Clinic in my corner on the last day of my fur baby's life. I'm so grateful it was on a Saturday and while Haven was open. They welcomed me as soon as I could get there, without an appointment. Once there, they did all they could and let me come to the back with my little one as they cared for her. I stepped out briefly to run an errand and returned at closing time. Dr. Jennings then referred me to two 24 hour facilities were I could continue my fur baby's care. She remembered an awful experience I had with another nearby clinic and was careful NOT to refer me to them but to her top two choices. The option I chose couldn't have been more perfect. I'll be leaving a separate A+ review for them as well. While providing medical care for my dog, Dr. Jennings recommended the best diet plans, medications, and specialists and gave my baby the very best care. She was very helpful in guiding me on realistic options and steering me away from expensive time wasters. Although she always ensured all decisions were completely made by me. She laid everything out on the table for me to decide. A day after my precious little doggy passed away, which happened to be on a Sunday, Dr. Jennings called me and gave me her sincerest condolences. It meant so much to me that she went out of her way on a Sunday and when I knew she had time off the following week, to express her sympathy to me for my loss. I always felt seen, heard and understood by Dr. Jennings and like she truly cared about me and my fur baby. I would without question recommend any and everyone to this amazing veterinarian and her awesome staff. One day, when I have future fur kiddos, Haven is absolutely the veterinary clinic I'll choose. I'm a little sad I don't have a reason to see the staff and Dr. Jennings regularly anymore but when the time comes this is without a doubt where I will go.

Happy employees is the result of great leadership! We need more companies who put their employees…read morefirst!

Do "NOT" bring your beloved animal to this unprofessional, scam artist - chop shop…read more My veterinarian diagnosed my dog's health being in a dire situation that required 24/7 care. My veterinarian recommended Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic. Everything was being facilitated through my veterinarian's office. When I arrived with my dog, Eva ripped me a new one up one side and down the other. Quote- Unquote per Eva: "We do not take care of animals that need 24/7 care." "We do not take care of animals with these kind of medical issues." Let me state the obvious for Eva! The sign for Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic is; "24/7" Yes, I went unhinged at Eva for her unprofessionalism and disrespectful yelling at an owner with a sick dog. Although, it was 4th of July weekend, I knew in my heart, that if it was meant to be, I needed to let my dog pass away at home with dignity, respect, compassion, and love. I was literally walking out the door with my dog to go home. All of a sudden Eva stopped me from leaving and she had a different attitude and the paperwork was in order. I put down a $8,500 deposit for four days which also included a 2% credit card fee. SCAM ARTISTS!!! I found zero comfort in the updated phone calls every morning around 7am. Dr. Coffey did not have the professionalism to call the veterinarian who performed the ultrasound on my dog and request the imaging and report. That is called being; "Unprofessional and Lazy" How could Dr. Coffey properly perform her job without the ultrasound imaging and report? Dr. Linton, owner, spoke to me like she was a robot. All I heard from Dr. Linton was; "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH" Dr. Hardegree was Mr. Hooray "Rah, Rah, Rah" cheerleader who was truly trying to make me believe my dog did an immediate health turnaround and was coming home. He literally told me the diagnostic tests showed great improvement. (enzymes, counts, and values were all improving) Yes, my dog had a long road to full recovery but Dr. Hardegree saw no reason why my dog couldn't and wouldn't recover and live a full healthy life. I explained this in detail to my veterinarian regarding Dr. Hardegree's new diagnosis. I heard nothing on the other end of the phone - pure silence, which told me that Dr. Hardegree was full of it and giving me false hope. Basically, Dr. Hardegree bold faced lied to me. My veterinarian was in dismay regarding Dr. Hardegree's diagnosis. I told my veterinarian to examine my dog and call me back immediately because I am picking up my dog tonight. He called me back and said; "Your dog is not improving. How long will it take you to get here?" I picked up my dog about a half hour later. The total cost was just under $10,000 including a plethora of medications to take home. Less than 12 hours later my dog passed away at home. Although, my heart is completely shattered, I have comfort in knowing that my dog passed away in my arms. My dog was not in pain or suffering but passed away with total dignity, respect, compassion, and love. After telling this story, let me state very clearly and concisely that I know how I was treated by the staff which was beyond unprofessional, disrespectful, disgraceful, and utterly appalling. I damn well know that my dog, a helpless sick animal, was treated even worse. Although, I listened to the professional advise of my veterinarian and I do believe that my veterinarian was truly looking out for the best interest of my dog. I knew in my heart it was a grievous mistake leaving my dog at Pearland 288 Animal Emergency Clinic and I now have to live with that mistake. The bottomline, I should have felt reassured that my faith and trust for my beloved dog was placed in the right hands. I will pay anything for the professional and ethical care of my beloved dog(s). Sadly, my faith and trust was most certainly misplaced! Beloved Pet Owner's Beware!!! THIS REVIEW IS "NOT" BASED ON EMOTIONS. IT IS BASED ON THE TRUTH AND PURE FACTS!!! Any response from the owner is 100% superfluous. I do "not" want to hear the owner's BS lies!!! UPDATE CASE IN POINT: "SHAME" ON THE INSIDER AT PEARLAND 288 ANIMAL EMERGENCY CLINIC, LINSEY FALK, WHO WROTE A REVIEW THAT WAS DIRECTED, SOLELY, AT ME. I NEVER MET NOR SPOKE TO LINSEY FALK. SHE IS NOT LISTED ON ANY OF THE MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION REGARDING MY DOG. SHE IS TRYING TO SPEAK ABOUT ISSUES INTELLIGENTLY WHEN SHE HAS NO BASIS TO SPEAK UPON THESE ISSUES ACCURATELY. FOR THE RECORD, REVIEWS ARE FOR BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE EXPERIENCES. MANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS CALL OUT CERTAIN VETERINARIAN'S BY NAME REGARDING THEIR DISHEARTENING EXPERIENCE(S). IF PEARLAND 288 ANIMAL EMERGENCY CLINIC CAN'T HANDLE THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW, BASED ON THE TRUTH AND PURE FACTS, THEN THEY NEED TO ADDRESS THIS WITH THE VETERINARIAN'S DIRECTLY AS TO WHY THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS WRITTEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!
