Tenth St Animal Hospital PC

Dr. Mark Hayes shows so much love for the animals he is caring for. Everyone there is great with them. All my questions were answered patiently and the service is impeccable! Also they tell you what they will charge for each procedure before doing it and make a plan with you. It’s wonderful. I love being aware of what to expect on my bill rather than have unexpected fees. The prices are very fair and rather cheap. Go here, you won’t regret it!

I have been a Firetower Animal Clinic and Tenth Street Animal Hospital client for years. They are a great group who truly care about pets and their owners.

I used to love this place and had been taking my dog here for almost 3 years. The vets I saw were great for the most part and I felt like they were less commercial than other clinics. However I felt that was no longer the case over my last few visits. They have a lot of vets and it seems I no longer ever see the same vet twice. I have a 6 month old puppy and we’ve seen a different vet at each of his vaccine visits.
I took my puppy here recently for some new eye discharge, the vet did a test (cost of test $ 45) to look for ulcers or damage to the cornea which was negative. She then told me it’s allergies and that she’s been seeing it a lot lately. She gave me antibiotic eye drops (I assume to prevent a bacterial infection) that I was to give my puppy for a week. The white discharge cleared up within a couple of days but right then I left town for a couple weeks and forgot to take the drops with me. I noticed my puppy started to have the same discharge again, but now in both eyes. I called the clinic to ask if they could send a Rx over to a pet pharmacy close to where I was since I was out of town and didn’t want to go to another vet for the same problem again. The receptionist asked the vet who responded that in order to do that he would have to be seen again because it could be something worse like an ulcer. I explained that the discharge in the one eye had started to get better but I didn’t finish the drops as I forgot to take them with me when I left town, but now it was in both eyes. I also mentioned that the vet had just checked my 6 month old puppy for an ulcer, so it’s highly unlikely he now has ulcers in both eyes. Plus my older dog was starting to have the discharge too, which exponentially raises the likelihood of it being allergies (given the incredibly high pollen count at this time of year) &/​or an infection; in which case a Rx for my forgotten eye drops would be very helpful. I also said I wouldn’t mind coming in as soon as I got back the following week, but I’m just not in the city right now, and I’d like to do something to help my dog in the interim. The receptionist isn’t a vet; she did not relay my concern or circumstances to the vet and just kept repeating «The the vet said your dog would have to be seen again for another Rx».
I am not a vet either, but I do have some common sense. And common sense (and possibly my medical training to become a doctor) tells me that although another visit might be prudent, in this particular circumstance it also might be excessive. Certainly denying my request for a prescription for the same forgotten eye drops I got from them while I’m out of town, until I could visit them upon my return is what I would expect from a big commercial clinic; not from a considerate, personable local veterinarian that I used to think 10^th Street animal hospital was. Needless to say after 3 years of regular patronage I will not be returning.

I came here for the first time today. I am from California but my dog had an issue with her foot while we were out here so I brought her here. I am so glad we did. The reception staff were very quick, efficient, super super friendly, and so helpful. The vet we got was just as amazing. His name was dr. stephen edr and he was so caring and informative and really took the time to talk to us. He was very personable, explained things well, and you could tell he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t do anything unnecessary or push pills at us like a lot of vets do. I like him so much more than the vet we go to back home. I felt like he really cared about our pet. I wish we lived close so we could always come here ! :(I highly highly recommend this facility. They are a very genuine and caring facility who keeps your pets best interest in mind at all times.

The vets were so caring and took care our our 19 year old cat. When we had to bring him back each week to get fluid drawn, they were so caring. They did everything to determine why and when we requested send the fluid to pathologist so we would know if was lymphoma. They were there the last days when said it was time, and how caring they were that Saturday when we let him go to Rainbow Bridge. Cannot say enough about their caring and love for our pets.

I have been bringing my pets here for over 10 years. This a group practice with several veterinarians. I tended to see Dr. Wyatt and Dr. Etter. Both of these vets are kind and understanding individuals. They listen to what you have to say and will explain the reasons they decide to do what they are doing with your pet. Dr. Etter has been willing to work with me even after I had moved several states away when one of my cats was having an issue with her eye. I had not had time to locate a vet in my new city when the eye issue came up. He saved me and my kitty time and potential discomfort/​delay in therapy by helping me to obtain an eye drop on short notice.
The front desk staff and veterinary assistants are always helpful and cheerful. I would recommend taking your pet here! They also have a couple of other locations (Fire Tower Animal hospital to name one) i n the area. I have not tried these other locations but have heard good things from friends who take their pets to these other locations.
Thank you for all your help over the years!
