How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Southern Haven Vet Clinic

Preventive care

Absolutely stellar care and service from Southern Haven. My family's three dogs, Dez, Jessie and Elsa are exceptionally well cared for each visit. Beatrice was a stray that we took in during our final weeks in East Texas - Southern Haven took very special care of her. The staff is kind and knowledgeable even after we moved away from the area (I needed vax records). I cannot tell you how comfortable we were when we had to board the dogs. Staff and Vets - thank you so much!

As soon as I contacted the clinic, via phone call. I was about to leave a message and ended up using the text message method which is really awesome and convenient! And got a response within minutes. They were able to see my pet and help me find solutions real quick. I'm just amazed and the time and it took for my dog to be healed! I'm most definitely amazed on how they communicated my dogs status through out the procedure. I will be using them from now going forward. just because it only let's you put a 5 star rating, if I could I would do more!!!!!!! All your staff is professional and amazing. keep up the good work!!!! Forget to mention I was also amazed about the pricing, did not cost me an arm and a leg, which I really appreciate!

I was blessed to find Southern Haven Vet Clinic this week! I had to put my 15 year old Boxer down today. From the moment I called it was a great experience. The young lady that answered the phone was so patient as I cried even trying to make the appointment. She was so kind on the phone. The best customer service I’ve seen in a long time. Today when I got there it must have been the same kind young lady sitting at the desk. The two doctors that came into the room were so soft spoken and kind. As was the young lady that helped me carry Blu’s blanket to the car. The staff is amazing, kind, and caring! Well done and thank you for helping me.

Our doggies love Southern Haven. Our Aussie gets so excited that we cannot get him to eat before we leave in the morning & he talks to us all the way there. Staff is great. We love the pics they send to us of our fur babies. It’s great for socializing with other dogs. We feel good about leaving them since we can tell by their actions they like it, too.

Removed one star for affordability and removed a second star for hidden fees & transparency. Great staff and Care. I loved the Provider and clinic however I switched Vet clinics because some service/ treatment I didn’t request was added to each video as a surprise fee. Additionally they would require much too frequent heartworm tests before refilling my flea medications, even when there was never a break between doses which added an extra $45 to flea medication purchases. Nearly every other month I was getting hit with that bill for visit fee and for a new heartworm test to add to the preventatives bill. It added up and was unnecessary so I took our business elsewhere. It was always more than they told me before visits.
