Foothills Animal Hospital Emergency and Specialty Center

Foothills has been treating my pets for the two years that I have lived in Yuma. My pets get quality care every visit. My Dalmatian’s skin has improved thanks to Dr. Skaggs. And my cat had his lymph nodes tested, thankfully everything was benign, and Dr. Kelland was so gentle with him. The doctors are very knowledgeable and informative, and the technicians have compassion for every animal that walks through their doors. 10/10 would recommend their clinic.

We had a very pleasant experience. At first we called our vet, they said the could only handle issues as they arrived. Got in contact with the hospital, come to find out our puppy had fractures and whipped the tip of her tail open (multiple times previously). Vet recommended tail amputation to help prevent further issues and further pain. We agreed. Staff was very professional, courteous, and checked in with us after surgery and the morning the next day. Let me know she ate and the staff was falling in love with our puppers. Came in under budget too! We are so happy with their services and level of care!

Foothills is the best animal hospital in the southwest. They saved my dog’s life as she was fading fast not knowing she developed diabetes. They take good care of her each time she visits for general glucose testing and we are thrilled they are now our go to vet care. It’s worth the 45 minute drive to have the confidence my dogs are well taken care of. I highly recommend them.

The Vet didn't talk down to me. I so appreciated that. I've had dogs all my life. I do understand dogs. She talked with me, not to me. I would go back to Foothills anytime. Plus it was very clean.

An emergency hospital is not a place anyone wants to visit but we're thankful they are there when your furrbaby needs help. We needed their help twice in the past 2 months. The first visit was with our elderly chug who took a sudden turn for the worse in one day. She couldn't keep any food down and was just sick, sick, sick. We called our vet who is located in another city and they recommended we bring her to the emergency hospital. We called Foothills Animal Hospital and they were able to get her in right away. Upon arrival, we were taken to a room where she was examined, stabilized and evaluated. Unfortunately, we had to make the hard decision to let her go. The staff was wonderful, kind and we felt confident in their knowledge. Fast forward to our second visit which occurred 10 weeks later when our 10 1/2 year old mini dachshund stopped eating and was obviously not well. We called Foothills Animal Hospital at 7am and was able to get an appointment for that morning. Making the appointment saved us a few $ on the visit and ensured we would be able to get our furrbaby into a room right away. Our doxie was evaluated and the doctor recommended a few tests. Rather than run every test to jack up the price, we were advised which testing was most important. The doctor had it right and we only needed that first test in order to determine what was going on with our baby. We had no choice but to let our beautiful doxie go as well. There was no cure for her condition and she would only suffer if we didn't let her go now. While I wish our visits to Foothills Animal Hospital had happy endings, I am confident that our doggies received the best of care. The entire staff was kind to us and our doggies. On a side note, we learned that the doctors are brought in from other cities to provide care to Yumans who need emergency care for their pets. We had 2 doctors who were extremely knowledgeable and loved their job. We are very thankful that we had a team of professionals to help us with both of our dogs while other vets could not see us.
