Once the doctor finally was in to talk to me he kept talking over me and saying that all the problems I came in for with my ball python were normal when they are not normal and he said they're nothing to worry about. my snake is making popping noises and coughing, which is not normal and I mentioned the slight scale rot on her belly and she said that it's just her coloration (which it is not). And he couldn't even get a weight on my snake, thankfully I weighed her before I came in. Over all I am not happy and will not be going back.

The vet was rude, cut me off and sighed like he was annoyed by my presence. Said my dogs heart and lungs sounded fine prescribed a pill. The pill did nothing and when I took him to another a week later because he got worse they said he has a heart murmur and fluid in his lungs. They just using people For money and don't care about the animals

We are so happy to have found Dr. Belman and staff. We've been using them for about 3 years now and have never had any complaints. They're responsive, communicative, and willing to work with you to ensure the best affordable care for your pets. All of the staff are absolutely delightful and so helpful, could not recommend this clinic enough. So long as we live in the SLC Valley, this will always be our chosen vet.

That took great care of my Jinx, he is a two year old ferret. I spent the morning trying to get him in to see a vet, no one in salt lake could see him, but Pet Stop did! I was so relieved it was urgent and though, I never had taken him there before, they where happy to see him. It's so hard when you're trying to find a vet for exotic pets. Anyways they fixed my baby up and treated us with respect. It's a great place I highly recommend.

When I picked up my dog, the young lady there informed that they gave him 2 vaccines without contacting either me nor my girlfriend first. He was not due for those boosters for another 10 months.

I have had one of my dogs neutered here, we do vaccinations here and one of my dogs had an allergic reaction and they were able to squish me in to assist. I really love that this clinic is affordable, the staff is all very friendly and it's in a great location if you live in salt lake.

I haven't been to Pet Stop for years. I was a Vet Tech under Rich Allen. The first thing he told me was to ask the Vet to write out the prescription so you can fill it at your local pharmacy. This is not the procedures in all Veterinary services. A $200 med at the Vet cost me $22 at Costco. I had returned to Pet Stop years back the receptionist was so rude I left.

I wouldn't go there if I was paid a billion dollars. Both times I was going to return the receptionist was rude. My dog has an abscessed tooth already diagnosed by VCA Cottonwood. They don't know which one. Pet stop instead of finding out exactly which tooth says I had to pay $640 for teeth cleaning then the Vet would pull out the teeth he thought was bad.

No right to pull teeth unneeded of pulling She's 4 years old and only her front canines have plaque in the back. She picks up things for me. She said I don't understand what you're saying. Being a Vet Tech when Pet Stop was run by Rich Allen he would have listened. She then said we'll be charging extra for pulling which I knew as I told her I had worked there. She only needs 2 teeth cleaned. She's a constant chomper and it could be any tooth thats clean. He knows which one to pull without an x-ray he is so good. Give me a break.

Very nice staff. My dog hurt his back and they were the only place I could find that could get me in next day. Dropped him off in the morning when they opened and he was ready for pick up at 10. The Dr was short and to the point, but I understand he's a busy guy. My dog is feeling much better.

I had taken my two cats here shortly after getting my second one for vaccines. I had mentioned to the vet that my oldest cat had behavioral issues around the newer one which is to be expected. The vet didn't seem to really care about what I had to say and my concerns. He had briefly suggested to me that if my oldest cats behavior didn't change I could come back and get calming medication for him.

I told the Vet I would exhaust my other options i.e. CBD, camling collars, etc. Before getting a prescription. A few months passed and my other options were not working so I called in to get an appointment for my oldest cat. The receptionist was kind and told me she would ask the vet what to do. Again, I was coming back upon suggestion from the same vet.

She came back and told me to just get rid of one of my cats, that it'll just be easier that way and there was no possible way for them to get along at this point. I had told her the vet mentioned calming medication I could put my cat on and she said it wasn't effective enough. Then why did the vet even mention it in the first place? I hadn't even had a chance to explain the situation before they said over the phone it couldn't be helped and I should just get rid of one of them.

I was very upset after the call abruptly ended. I care deeply for my animals, and will do anything before I give them back to the shelter, but the entire interaction made me feel like I was a bad pet owner for not giving one up for a few behavioral problems. The main, or only vet, doesn't seem to care about your concerns or really about the animals themselves.

To say it's easier to just get rid of your animal then to work with them just seems lazy to me. Not a very good practice and if you see this before they delete this review please find another place for your animal.

After the 10-minute visit, they charged me $90 and insisted I purchase eye drops for $40. The exact drops can be purchased for $12.99 online. The office will nickel-and-dime you by taking advantage of your concern for your furry friend. Veterinarian was condescending and did not listen to concerns; he assumed the problem was the opposite of what I had described.

I asked him to look into "the eye on the left" and he was hung up on the fact I didn't say "my animal's right eye, " like a man of the theatre who was butt-hurt I didn't use the term "stage-left." I appreciate they saw me so quickly and the front desk staff was kind. Likely this review won't stay up long, but if you get the chance to see if before they pay Google AdSense to remove it, I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere.

My dog got very sick and I had scheduled a vet appointment here. She didnt make it to the appointment. I called them to schedule her cremation and they where very kind and sensitive. They where very nice to me and my family. This was my first time losing a pet and they where all very helpful and caring. And after wrighting this review I got a letter from them sending there condolences so I came back to edit it. Thank you

This is the best vet in town. They charge fair prices and always care for my baby dog. If you want a vet that balances care while trying to make it affordable for you this is the place. Thanks for all you guys do!
