We provide core and elective vaccinations to protect pets from preventable diseases. Services include rabies, parvovirus, and tailored vaccine schedules. Our team educates clients on immunization importance and timing for optimal protection.

Left messages and they never called back. But years ago took dog and was very happy with care she got.

PAWS is the best vet clinic I have ever been to. I have only used their services since I moved to Mesa. Dr. Holst is an excellent Vet. She is kind and knowledgeable and she has fair rates. I can't recommend her highly enough - she is way more than 5 stars!

Just took Jack black to see Dr. Wendy after a 6 month hiatus. Jack has pneumonia again. Dr. Wendy & Karen took such loving care of Jack today. He's home & breathing much easier after decompressing & letting his stress subside. Thanks Dr. Wendy & Karen. My baby is now resting peacefully, no heavy breathing, hacking or gasping for air.

Glad they could get us in with our Siberian Husky with diahrea, , but even with a fecal sample and blood work, they could not narrow down the nature of the problem. So $296 later we only can hope she gets better, and she did, but not because of anything provided by the Vet. A little disappointed!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Holst and the entire paws veterinary team. We have been going here for sometime with just about all of our fur babies. Our two Saint Bernards Hercules and Big Ben love the staff. We recently ran into a problem with Hercules and Dr. Holst And the entire crew did everything possible to make sure our big baby came home safe. I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of them. I appreciate the fact that the doctor is upfront with her prices. No hidden fees and no surprises.
