Preventive care

I have gone here once with an animal that was abandoned and I had no idea what medical care she received. When I walked in, a large dog immediately started barking and scared the dog I had. They quickly ushered us into a room. Staff was friendly. We weren’t sure if she as fixed and I was told to wait to see if she went into heat. No one said there was other ways of finding this out which I would have appreciated and gladly paid for rather than dealing with a heat cycle. Fast forward, I got a new puppy. I called to see if they had puppy plans like most vets offered. They do not. In fact, you get one free visit as a new client so not only would I pay for each individual item, I had to pay the office visit too. I took the puppy to Timberlane and paid the $240 puppy plan with no additional charges or office visits. In addition, I was told the dog I adopted was not the breed I initially thought and the vet said she was something else but didn’t notate the file. I found this out when I needed records to move and when I asked them to change it, it was quite the hassle. They eventually did update her chart but to something completely different that I was told and based it off of photos I submitted.

So incredibly grateful for this hospital and their team! When no one in town could take my dog in for an emergency visit (including my old vet of 2 years who couldn’t be bothered) they squeezed her in and provided the absolute best service and got my pup healthy again. They were also gracious enough to provide different pricing options on treatments which is a courtesy that can be so helpful when dealing with an unexpected veterinary trip. Everyone from the veterinary team to the receptionists were so kind and helpful. I’ll never bring my pets back to my old vet again, Ox Bottom has completely won our loyalty. 5/5 Highly recommend

Dr. Combs and all of the Ox Bottom Animal Hospital staff took great care of my beloved Bruno over the past four years. While I will miss my best friend of 16 years for the rest of my life, I am also eternally grateful for the love, care, and comfort that they were able to provide for Bruno over the years.

The Ox Bottom AH staff are unlike any other. I love everyone there, and they are all passionate about quality care for your pet. I have 2 cats and one is not a fan of going to the vet (he has to get some happy medication before his visits) and Dr. Combs and her staff help each time! OBAH is certified Fear Free, Feline Gold Standard Friendly, and AAHA Accredited (wow!!!) You will be receiving top care at this clinic with each staff handling your pet in the safest and least stressful way possible. They can boast a great boarding facility for both dogs and cats. Top of the line laboratory equipment for both surgeries and diagnostics. They are willing to work with anyone to help fit the needs for the pet and owner. They have always dedicated themselves to educating me if I ever asked any questions. I know every time I take my babies there they are in good hands. The entire staff feels like family and I couldn’t imagine taking my fur babies anywhere else. They will be my forever vet!
