Love this vet office and everyone who works here. I have been bringing our pets here ever since we moved here 7 years ago. The doctors and techs are knowledgeable, friendly, and really care about your pets. The office staff are always friendly when coming and going. Boone and Maple love them!

My last experience at this clinic was disappointing and frustrating. I brought my 1 year old pup in for her appointment and had to schedule with Dr. Dotson. We had never seen him before and our experience was completely unprofessional. From the moment he walked in the room, he seemed nervous to be around my dog. She is an Australian shepherd with lots of energy, so when he came in the room she was excited to see him. He seemed as if he was scared to be around my dog and didn’t want to touch her. When he first tried to give her a shot, he asked me to hold my dog down on the floor. This made her nervous and she began to squirm around. Since she was squirming, he was unable to give her the shot and almost poked my finger with the needle! Keep in mind there is a sign on the door that states “please allow vets and vet assistances only to handle your animals during appointments” So I’m not sure why I was even involved in the process considering there was a vet assistant in the room as well. Dr. Dotson made a comment that my dog raised her lips at him and he seemed scared to be around her. This never happened though! Even the vet assistant assured him that she never did that. After this they decided to take her out of the room to give her the shots. She was gone for about 5-10 minutes and when she came back she was acting very strange. She wouldn’t even walk out of the room after all of this had happened. Dr. Dotson then recommended that I pay for medication to calm her down for future appointments. Please keep in mind my dog has been to many vet appointments in the past and never has had an issue whatsoever! Very disappointing experience. Someone who works with animals full time shouldn’t be scared as soon as they walk in the door and meet them! She is a very friendly dog and never has issues. I do not recommend Dr. Dotson and would recommend trying to schedule an appointment with a different veterinarian!

They are always so helpful and the staff is very kind. Couldn’t recommend an animal hospital more.

Outstanding in every respect! This has been my mom‘s animal hospital for many many years, and today we had to say goodbye to my mom‘s 20 year-old dog. My mom is in her late 80s and was really struggling to say goodbye to Buffy. The doctors at Mountain Empire Animal Hospital handled the goodbye process with dignity and respect for both my mother and her dog. They were outstanding, as I’ve noted, but also compassionate, kind, and efficient. Thank you all for helping my mother and Buffy with this transition.

I can't say enough good about this place. We had two dogs that were sick with vomiting and diarrhea. Our regular vet couldn't get them in for a couple of days. I called this place and they got us in right away. Everyone we encountered was great to deal with. Dr. Lily took plenty of time with us and our pets and answered all our questions. We will be switching to this office going forward. I would highly recommend this place to anyone.

Friday night my sick cat took a turn for the worse. My regular vets were closed. The Airport Emergency Vet was so busy they didn't answer. I called another vet that recommended Mountain Empire. I called and they were very accommodating and compassionate in aiding in putting my almost 18 year old cat to sleep. I would highly recommend them. Thank you all for your care. 🐾💔🐈❤
