Brittmoore Animal Hospital

We brought our two French Bulldogs, Thor and Loki, to Brittmore Animal Hospital because they advertise themselves as "bulldog specialists." Between airway surgery, palate work, and medications, we spent thousands of dollars here expecting expert guidance and proactive care. What we didn't get was education on the most common and devastating risk bulldog breeds face: IVDD. Not once were we warned about stairs, ramps, slippery floors, or the need for crate rest at the first signs of wobbling or pain. That lack of preventative advice cost us dearly as one of our dogs, Thor, went down suddenly, paralyzed, and we had to rush him to Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists for an emergency MRI and spinal surgery. That surgery alone was $15,000, on top of the money already spent at Brittmore. Thankfully, Gulf Coast saved him and he is walking again but we will never forget that Brittmore, who claims to be the bulldog experts, never once looked out for us on this issue. As bulldog owners, we needed guidance, not just procedures and bills. If we had been given even a basic warning, we could have acted sooner and possibly avoided the emergency altogether. If you're going to call yourself a specialist, you should educate your clients about all the risks their breed faces, not just the ones you can invoice. We trusted Brittmore with our dogs and with thousands of dollars, and in return we were left unprepared for the biggest health crisis Frenchies face.

Dr. James Rieman is very thorough, explains diagnosis well (particularly the ones you do not want to hear), and always a pleasure to visit with. He truly cares about my fur-babies and never rushes through an appointment, so I understand if I am seen later than my scheduled appointment time, it’s because he’s working with other clients in his compassionate way and I am fine with that. Trustworthy! I have been a long time client of Brittmoore Animal Hospital. They have never recommended unnecessary procedures or medications for my pets. They are knowledgeable, caring doctors that have always taken the time to clearly explain things to me and have always treated me and my pets with great integrity. There is a saying that I like that describes Brittmoore Animal Hospital perfectly: “Veterinarians don’t just treat animals, they treat the people who love them.”

The vets at this location say they specialize in bulldogs. My daughter went several times with her bulldog. They always told her the dog looks good on his checkups. Then one day he is dying and nothing they can do. I found out they never did any blood test ever. If they did they would have been able to take care of him and he would have been fine. What a joke and the money they charge. Find someone else to go to.
