Took Sasha to see the Vet today for her annual work up. We saw Dr. Haynes and she was amazing Sasha had a hotspot and it was infected… and Lauren the technician was helpful in helping me with general health care related to her quality of life as a Siberian Husky. Thank you so much, very appreciative and grateful for your genuine care…

I cannot recommend Richter Animal Hospital enough! The service here is always amazing, and the staff truly care about both pets and their owners. Not only are their prices reasonable, but their customer service is outstanding. I was especially impressed by the follow-up calls to check on my dog after her injury and her visits. It’s rare to find a vet that goes above and beyond like this, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands. Thank you, Richter Animal Hospital, for your dedication and care!

The care was fantastic but the price gauging for pet hospitals is pretty out of control. A cat UTI shouldn’t have costed $380 for just a urinalysis, checkup, and bloodwork. We haven’t even gotten medications yet so that will be an addition cost. However, when I called other hospitals all the way to the Fort Worth area, all their prices were similar. But I did give 4 stars for quality of care. If you’re on time to your appt it’s a quick in and out situation. Doctor was very professional, knowledgeable and gave plenty of information and options. The bloodwork was $170 (for a senior cat), Urinalysis range starts from about $90 which is what we paid. Temporary pain medication (3 pills/3days) costs $30 plus the $50 checkup fee and some random tech fee. The bloodwork is always the most expensive and isn’t always necessary but we went ahead with it since our kitty is old and hasn’t had bloodwork since we got her last year. We appreciate the care this facility has provided and if you have the money and your pet needs the care then they’re fantastic! Just expensive.

Dr. Randolph has kept our dog in great shape for years now! He is kind and extremely sharp at detecting our old boy's ailments. He speaks to us as equals and listens well. We are never rushed with him. He is everything a vet should be! Thanks from Cooper, too!

Amazing staff. We useto got to Gully's and had been for 15 years but the care of my fur babies plummeted so we were recommended Dr.Richters and we absolutely loved them. The dr answer all of our questions and didn't rush us or blow us off on any of our concerns. The amazing vet even printed out a bunch of information for us to read over. I will be recommending them to EVERYONE!!! Thank you to the entire staff
