Southside Animal Clinic

I will always recommend Southside Animal Clinic to anyone in search of a good vet. Being a pet owner is such a rewarding experience. Our fur babies become part of our families and it's so important to have a vet you can trust. My thirteen year old tabby Alley Cat had been suffering in pain from advanced stomatitis for a few years. I had taken her to a previous vet in the city and never truly felt comfortable going through with the full dental extraction that was recommended. Over time the medications prescribed were no longer alleviating her pain. I knew it was time to find a new vet. Dental procedures can be scary enough for humans and even more challenging for tiny little animals. I had been to Southside Animal Clinic many years ago to assist with a sick dog and with recently moving back to the area, I knew I needed to call. I know for me personally, I always worry I have waited too long to treat my pet. Dr. Burgess was nothing but kind, patient and understanding. I expressed my concerns, worries and was never made to feel I was overreacting. There was testing conducted to ensure Alley was fit for the procedure and after getting clearance, I scheduled the appointment. The dental surgery was conducted in two sessions. Dr. Burgess ensured this would be less impact on my cat and I trusted her opinion. Dr. Burgess called and checked in during both procedures and really made me feel at ease through the entire process. The staff was kind, compassionate and always friendly. John the vet tech and the front office staff always greeted me with smiling faces each time I walked through the door. Alley Cat is doing exceptionally well, better than I could have imagined. I cannot thank Dr. Burgess and the Southside Animal Clinic staff enough, for you have given my cat a pain free, happy life and I am forever grateful.

I've been to this animal clinic three or four times with my brother and his cat Bootsy. They always do a good job and are very professional. I recommend anybody who needs veterinary Care should check into this place if they're near the Arlington road area. they do vaccines, wellness checks, everything you need for your dog or cat.

First visit here. Friendly staff. Safe environment for pets. My pittie does not like other dogs. The interactions between other animals were non existence and I loved that!! The staff was attentive and caring. The prices were reasonable.

I used to have to physically DRAG my dog into our old vets office, but with 2 visits under our belt at Southside Animal Clinic he actually seems to enjoy going. He will actually lay down in the exam rooms, and the ladies at the front/ checkout desk give him lots of love and treats when it’s time to leave. The care is amazing, the vet and assistants really listen and work with you. Also they were very transparent with prices over the phone with me which was very helpful. This is definitely our new vet and I am so happy we found them!

Phenomenal vet! Amazing staff who are kind, caring, and diligent. Staff is very transparent about pricing, which I really appreciate. Every procedure is thoroughly explained so that owners understand the purpose and cost. This is literally one of my dogs favorite places because she loves the office ladies so much. Literally don’t have enough good things to say about this vet. I would recommend 100% to anyone looking for high-quality vet care at a reasonable price.
