Preventive care

Staff was very nice. They are willing to give as much care as they can. Vets are extremely expensive but they have gone above and beyond for my dog "TROUBLE "" .. I recommend this animal hospital to anyone. They also have walk services starting at 8am. You do need an appointment for services in the afternoon. ❤️❤️❤️

I had to say goodbye to my baby girl, Maggie, on 6/10/23. She was the best dog, friend, daughter for almost 16 years. I had never been to Dunbar animal hospital before but my coworker told me they were nice to her when she had taken her baby there. That was all I wanted, someone nice and caring to be around when my baby went to heaven… They were amazing! I cried from the moment I walked through the door to the moment I left- not including all the moments before and after of course- and through every tear, not a weird look, not a nasty smirk, just compassion. They offered to make a paw print resin for me but it would take a couple hours and after she was gone but I didn’t want to leave her there. She needed to be laid to rest. I had made a paw print salt dough ornament for Christmas so I had that. They took her back to wrap her up and get her ready to leave and apparently they took an ink print of her paw. I wasn’t expecting them to bring her out in her very own casket, card board of course but none the less it was casket shaped so it was her casket. They drew a heart on the end where her sweet head was…That was another wonderful thing they done. Back to the ink Print… Today in the mail I received 4 cards with my girls paw print along with written condolences and sweet words singed by the staff.. I can not thank you all enough. It was so hard to say goodbye and finding such nice caring people to be by our side, all I wanted, I sure did find at Dunbar Animal Hospital. 💕💔💕

Just being honest. Worst experience I've ever had at a Vets office. My appointment was later in the day, I understand the workers had a long day, but still. They tried to take my cat's blood and weren't even capable of doing that. The cat was barely moving and meowing a little, never had a problem at any other vet. The vet looked like she was about to have a panic attack and said she couldn't do it and I'd have to schedule another appointment to put her to sleep in order to take the blood. I said "want me to come back and hold her?" she said "no, i can't take blood with customers standing over my shoulder staring at me". Then gave the cat some antibiotics and ointment and sent me on my way. About $200 down the drain. Thanks, Dunbar Animal Hospital! You guys are the best!

Excellent service. Kind employees. Got my drug in quickly. She told me to bring him right away. Got him in medicine, and he had a follow-up visit. Always great service

I honestly don't feel like I should give a rating, as I didn't get the see the vet. I sat in the waiting room for over 3 hours, without my name being called. In their defense, they had a few traumas come in, so I'm not bashing them. Just saying how my trip went. They ladies were very nice.
