Preventive care

10/10 recommend! These people truly care! As soon as we walked through the doors they 3 beatiful technicians greeted us with our sweet puppy’s name! They immediately took us back and from the beginning to end explained everything they were doing and the cost and our options! They have our hearts and our dogs will be going here from now on! Thank you Sandy Animal Clinic & Dr McDonald!

Just as other reviewers have stated, Dr. McDonald is a terrible vet. I have a very high energy puppy and each vet visit, Dr. McDonald would roll her eyes and complain about his energy. My dog would be shaking from fear of her. He had a terrible ear infection and very first thing Dr. McDonald wants to do: sedate him ???? I tell her if I hold him in my lap, she should be able to look into his ears without sedation. She agrees and says, “I don’t see anything. Not sure why they are red and he’s been scratching and shaking them so much.” I left with no answers. On my way out, she made sure to remind me how much energy he has - well, he is a puppy + dogs can sense bad vibes. Sandy Animal Clinic, if you want customers coming back, I’d recommend replacing Dr. McDonald.

Can't say enough about the staff and service we've received at this clinic. Jenny and Dr. Edmonds take care of our dogs like their own, and the front desk always calls to check up after a surgery or treatment. We've had a puncture wound, dentals, and regular visits treated here.

I brought my aging cat to Sandy Animal Hospital twelve days ago for an eye issue. It was our first visit to this vet clinic. I disclosed that he has renal issues and has been on a special renal diet for three years. The vet, Dr. Macdonald, who I felt no connection to whatsoever and who didn’t appear to show sincere interest in my cat, didn’t know what was wrong but had several guesses. We left with two kinds of eye drops which we diligently applied. We had a second visit less than a week later, although I wasn’t allowed to speak to the vet. They took a blood sample in the back and said they’d call the next day with results. We left with more serum drops. No phone call the next day so I called myself the following day to receive blood test results. I was told that they had left a message but I received no message. The woman at the front desk said he has renal issues and should be on a renal diet. Shocker, I had told them that on the first visit. She said he might have Horner’s disease. Then she suggested a cat ophthalmologist. So I spent $384.27 to be told that my cat has renal disease which I told them in the first five minutes of the initial office visit and that they really couldn’t help him. I understand that it’s difficult to make a diagnosis in some instances and that this vet may not be experienced enough to deal with our situation but it felt like there was little effort put into helping my cat, especially after being told the same info that I had already provided and making it sound like it was their discovery. I would definitely not return to Sandy Animal Clinic or recommend it to other pet owners.
