I have been using North Concho for over 20 years. The care that they provide to My dogs has been outstanding and assisted me in raising dogs who live past their life expectancy. Dr. Russel and the staff have always gone above and beyond expectations and saved my silly Golden more than once. The service is affordable and quick and I've never questioned the recommendation of Dr. Russel or the staff!
My dogs will run to the door when I tell them we are going to see Dr. Russel and Lisa and they knock me out of the car to get in the door. That's the best recommendation I could give- they love them!

My little dog, Sunny, had been throwing up, not eating, and was becoming listless. Naturally, this started on Saturday evening, as things like this can happen. I phoned North Concho Veterinary Clinic at 8am sharp on Monday. They got us right in. The vet examined her and gave me a couple of options. I wanted to make sure Sunny wasn't seriously ill, so I asked for labs to be conducted. I was told the total cost with the thorough lab work and it was very reasonable.
The total price included a myriad of medications. Luckily, the lab work showed nothing serious. Sunny just had a stomach bug, like we humans can get. I can't stop singing the praises of this wonderful place. The vet is so compassionate and the ladies at the desk are the best. You don't go broke taking your pet here. I strongly advise anyone looking for a vet, come here. I am sold on it, and so is my darling!

The staff at North Concho Vet clinic is great. I'm new to the area and was nervous about finding a good vet. The search is over. My dog needed shot updates to board and the staff met me at my car and took my 80# fur baby inside for his visit and brought him back to the car. I didn't even have to get out. Great service during this pandemic. Thank you!
