Initially took my dog here and received great services for my dog with a heart murmur. The first vet I worked with was fantastic, this coming year she was no longer there and I had to work with the new vet. The care my dog received didn't seem any different so there was no issues, then the issues started. I would call to get new prescriptions for my dog the front desk wouldn't follow up to let me know when they were ready for pick up. They often seem very confused when you call the front desk. I scheduled an appointment for my dog, I waited almost on hour to see the vet. When I explained to Dr. Dodson my dogs condition was getting worse he refused to do new x-rays or blood work but kept telling me that my dog was simply experiencing allergies. I kept telling him what I was experiencing with her was something more and possibly her heart issues getting worse. He kept saying no, she was fine and offered Hydrocodone. I knew it was more than allergies, one month later I was faced with having to put my dog down as she was going into cardiac failure. Had he did what I was asking the outcome may have been different. Honestly, he may be only vet in this office and seems very overwhelmed. I would suggest using caution when going to this vet, if you need nails trimmed and shots you're probably okay, if your pet has server health issues I would not recommend this office.

We are new to the area and I blindly chose Agua Fria Animal Hospital based on its reviews and location. I’ve been there twice since we moved here in May and have not been impressed with the dr on staff. He has been quick with his visit, quick to try and persuade me to purchase an allergy shot, or pills, quick to sell me mediated shampoo and quick to add miscellaneous fees to my bill. Needless to say, I don’t feel the love for my pet from this vet. I will be relocating for future visits

Please do not come to Agua Fria Animal Hospital. They care more about making a dollar than about the well-being of your pet. My dog’s life-saving insulin order was delayed over a week, even with me calling in multiple times. In the end, our furbaby couldn’t wait long enough and passed away. This wouldn’t have happened and she would still be here if this clinic had authorized the routine insulin prescription from the beginning, which was days BEFORE her insulin ran out.

Dr. takes time to listen to your concern and examine your pet. He will tell you the honest diagnosis and won't sell you extra treatment if it's not urgent. Staffs are really nice too.

One of the best places to take your pet. A truly caring staff and decent pricing. Yes, they are busy and wait time for standard appointments can be 2 weeks out. That shows they have a lot of happy customers.
