Really took time with Peri and his diagnosis. Patient with worry wart me. The surgery went really well and Peri’s recovery looked really good. Sometime in the night he died for unknown reason. But Dr Rhodes was very compassionate and gentle when she tod me. The entire staff could not have been more considerate. Peri was about 12 and had survived non-infectious meningitis, a major heat stroke, and epilepsy. I think he was tired .but ALL the people at Countryside loved Peri and were so understanding. I cannot say enough praise!

LOVE this clinic, ADORE Dr Catiln Outlaw. ❤️ She is amazing and sweet as they come. My Moe Joe (Tuxedo cat) also thought she was the "cat's meow". They got us in the very next morning from when I called. Waited about 5 minutes in the lobby and they brought us back to a room, we were there maybe 2 minutes. They fixed us up with meds and did some tests and Moe Joe and I were on our way home with in 30 minutes, (tests take a few minutes to reveal results) We will definitely be goung back to see them in the future. They just don't know I have 5 cat's and 1 dog, lots of future business for check ups and maintenance. Thank you to ALL the ladies in the best Veterinarian Clinic in Hot Springs!!!

We were here on vacation, and my dog was not feeling well. They got us in the same day, reassured us, gave us some probiotics, and charged us a pittance in comparison, to where we’re from. Lloyd was very happy with the experience… Well, as happy as he could be. ;) I was too! Thank you!

This was the first time I used this business and left with a good impression. The staff was friendly and courteous and greeted me when I walked in. The Vet and staff were extremely friendly towards the patient I brought in and met her every need. They explained what would be done and gave me information sheets that I could take home that explained the precedure that I brought the feline in for. The prices seemed a little high with what I'm used to paying for services like this, but I honestly believe that the prices are fair and justified for this facility.
