Report
Our dogs have been coming here for years now and our older dog had bloat and needed emergency overnight surgery. He was transferred here to Cedar Way and I knew he was in good hands-and he was. He was well-taken care of, came home healthy, and I felt that there were thorough explanations given in regards to his post-op care, his medications, and what was going on with him during the day when I called to check up on him.
The only thing I would have liked was for someone to have told us that our dog would need to return for staple removal and to have made the appointment while we were there. I would feel bad if another pet parent wouldn't think to ask about staple removal and then their pet didn't return for that. In general though, we were very pleased and really appreciated the personal and down-to-earth approach. Thank you for taking such good care of our old man!

I love this vet! After almost losing my dog to the incompetence of Dr. Wild at Grand Prairie, we switch to Cedar Way. The staff is so kind & Dr. Tinio is absolutely incredible & reaches out even after closing or on weekends to check up on my pups.

I the vet I had for years wasn't providing the service or support necessary to feel confident. Cedar Way is fantastic and I know my dogs are in the best hands. So glad I decided to call them. Dr. Tinio is a dog lover and my dogs are Dr. Tinio lovers. The staff is incredible and always makes accommodations for the best possible care.

These people are amazing here! They let me bring in a sick stray I found, same day, and took wonderful care of him. Both the tech and doctor are so thorough, gentle, and knowledgeable! You can really tell how much they care about animals and that this isn't just a job for them, but a passion. Truly impressed with how awesome this vet is! Would recommend 11/10
