VICTORY BARK VETERINARY CLINIC

I would not recommend this clinic due to a prolonged failure to diagnose a persistent medical condition. My German Shepherd was seen here regularly from 2020–2024, and a moderate ear infection went undetected for years despite routine exams. We adopted him as a stray in 2020 and brought him in for an initial checkup. At that time, he had noticeable ear odor, redness, and dark discharge, though as first-time dog owners we did not recognize this as abnormal. The clinic did not identify or raise concerns about his ears. Over the next several years, he was seen regularly for annual exams and was repeatedly given a clean bill of health, including explicit reassurance that his ears looked normal. His condition worsened, and I discovered he had a yeast-based ear infection that we successfully treated ourselves. Given the severity and persistence of the symptoms, I feel strongly that this should have been easily identified by a competent veterinarian. I am giving two stars because the staff was consistently friendly and communicative, and the issue did not result in permanent harm. However, I would not trust them with another animal and I hope that no other animals have suffered due to this clinic's negligence. These photos are from Sep 2024, and he had just had his annual exam 3 days prior. We have since switched vets and experienced better care, hence providing a benchmark of what good vet care should have looked like. Thank you very much for your time.

I’ve taken my baby here for Her first checkup and her first yearly annual. I like this clinic. It seems pretty good. The prices seem reasonable. The service is fast and the staff are friendly & definitely flexible. The veterinarian is very kind and provides all the detailed information you need and lots of good health recommendations for your pet. Even though their virtual, they give great recommendations on places you can take your pet for playtime so they can interact with other animals. And you can also book a meeting with the veterinarian so you can meet her ! Overall, great experience will use them again next year!

I do not have enough great things to say about Dr. Ruth and Victory Bark as a whole. I have been going to her since 2020 and I have had nothing but great experiences with her and her staff. They are always so friendly and my dog actually gets excited when he realizes where we are going (even though he still always looks back at me like why are you not coming in?? it's great in here!) I have never been inside the clinic, which I am honestly okay with that because it probably cuts down on a lot of issues, including unfamiliar dogs not getting along. I cannot really speak to the pricing but it seems reasonable for the care she provides. I routinely take my dog there to have his nails grinded because he is a corgi and she knows that their nails have to be cut in a certain fashion due to how his feet sit. She is always willing to provide guidance without making you feel rushed. There was one occasion where I called to ask whether something my dog was experiencing was an emergency. It was close to closing time and they told me to bring him by to check him out. After he was examined, it was determined it was not an emergency situation so we made treatment plans and she saved us an ER visit and bill.

Wonderful. Efficient. Integrated with other clinics and services (Paw Lofts, VEG). They help me manage two total knuckleheads with grace. I can't imagine having a better veterinary than this.

Dr. Ruth gave me such a sense of relief. She was so knowledgeable and comforting that I knew my fur baby was in good hands. She answered my questions and gave me a piece of mind. She treated my baby and made me feel better, too. 😊 We just moved to Design District, so glad to be so close by our new vet!
