We drive an hour to get to Airport rd animal clinic. We tried several other vets local to us and did not find an office that we felt took genuine care of our pets. The drive is well worth it.

We are fairly new to this clinic and we're so glad to have made the switch for our cat and dog. I especially like the ability to text a question or request and get a prompt reply. The front desk is always helpful and Dr. Pruitt is terrific!

After seven years of care for my pets, I have decided to change vets and take my dogs to another vet. Airport Animal Clinic has changed their level of care and there focus is strictly financially motivated. I was very frustrated with recent charges that were outrageously high and never discussed in advance. After seven years I feel like I am constantly being Nickel and Dimed.

Since we were new to the area, it took several weeks to get an appointment as a "new patient ", for my dogs ear problem. 1st visit, cultured her ears, summed it up as yeast, gave me an earwash. Several weeks later, no improvement brought her back for visit 2. Again, cultured ears didn't see anything, gave me a anti-inflammatory and sent me home. Several weeks later no improvement. Now I called Tracy, the office manager , to discuss my dissatisfaction . After my complaints of not wanting to spend more money for no results, I was surprised she didn't offer any solution but to bring up the fact that my dog needs her rabies vaccine and I could get it at her ear recheck appointment to save money. I was in a jam since my dog wasn't any better and to change vets in the middle of her unsolved problem would mean another two weeks or more of discomfort. Visit 3, now the doctor FINALLY sees bacteria on the culture!! Not sure where it was hiding the last 2 months!. So, I'm dismissed with antibiotics and more ear wash. $400 later, we'll see if the third veterinarian solved what in my opinion, should have not taken (3)visits/(3)doctors to figure out especially after 8 years of school!!!
