Preventive care

I’ve been a customer of Canyon Animal Hospital for over 30 years. I have always experienced excellent care for my dogs. Every doctor is experienced and empathetic. I consider it a luxury to be able to make an appointment with any available veterinarian.

I Love and respect Dr G. and his staff! I rescued a Javanese Mix that was used as a puppy mill dog. She was scared of everything. She was flea invested , bleeding from the bum ,heavily matted and never trained or walked outside on a leash.for the first three and a half years of her life. I made a commitment to this poor shaken pup and with Dr. G's advice and care and with his staffs help , I now have a healthy, happy , ever so loving pup. We are a team and I am so happy. The first month was rough but Dr. G explained that if I gave her a chance with commitment, patience and care , I would end up with a very loving dog. She is now housebroken, protective and a pillow loving pup that all my friends and neighbors enjoy having her visit. She now loves to socialize with all my lady friends and is not a beggar or barker Thank You Dr. G and staff!!!!!!

PEOPLE be ware- Dr Kelly and Lori are now gone SO SAD they would be so disappointed with what they created as a family with us all - a true one of a kind. Had my first appointment with the new Dr. WHAT A JOKE she was- walked in late which looked to be like she just woke out of bed. NEVER read or KNEW anything about my Payton- Mind you Dr Kelly and Lori ALWAYS took the time- Came in looked at my dog's paw trimmed some skin and that was it - Charged me a price I KNEW Nothing about- Before raising PRICES SO QUICKLY shouldn't the customer get a letter or know about it. TO top it off I said I was concerned of Payton weight all she could suggest is MORE MONEY a test for Valley fever - We can already tell what kind of vet took this over! OMG so sad- Dr Kelly and Lori NEVER did this. Called to discuss this price they never even called me back the manager what a COWARD! all over email - pretty much to bad pay the new price! WOW Be ware people this place is not the same and I wouldnt trust them for the life of me! NEVER! EVER! Thanks for some great years Dr Kelly and Lori but sad to say you got some really idiots running your establishment now! Very sad
