Always the Best.
To the Doctors and Staff of University Animal Hospital:
We have been clients of University Animal Hospital for over 30 years. We have seen it grow from a small veterinary clinic started by Dr. Thomas Gus to a state of the art veterinary hospital with the ability to treat any type of medical condition. The facilities are always clean and both myself and our doggies are greeted by the friendly members of the University Animal Hospital team each time we visit. The doctors are the Best in the Veterinary business. They have a genuine compassion about our pets and their healthcare. We have enjoyed raising 5 puppies starting off their great care with the Puppy Plan at the Hospital. They have received the highest level of care throughout their years and healthy long lives being managed by the doctors at University Animal Hospital. They have overseen our pet's care during crisis situations. Dr. Gus waited for us at 10:30 pm one evening when our German Shephard was struck by a car and fully recovered from his injuries thanks to his care. Dr. Flegeneheimer assisted our Lab through a serious bout of pneumonia with tender loving care. We have had to put 3 of our dogs down after the battle of old age. The compassion and caring they showed us during this period was amazing - even giving us a small clay footprint as a keepsake. The medical service and customer service is outstanding. I will remain a devoted customer of University Animal Hospital for years to come. Thanks to all the doctors and staff for being available for our four-legged family! Mary Clifton
Thank you Mary for your kind review of our hospital.

University Veterinary Hospital Is A Scam!.
I must be fair and say that UVH is very thorough. They leave no stone un-turned when it comes to your pet's health.
The problem is, they make it seem like every test and procedure is absolutely necessary, when it clearly is not! They charged me for X-Rays on a pet with external trauma! I can confirm what the person before me had to say about the gauntlet of charges they hit you with on the way out of there! They operate just like a sleazy car dealership by keeping you cooped up in the exam room for a very long time. They wear you down until you will pay anything just to leave!
This place is staffed with good and caring Vets. It is too bad that they are so greedy!
We are all very sorry you felt pressured by us to do diagnostic tests.
We NEVER suggest a test we do not feel is important and will help us understand your pet's condition better. It is external trauma cases that often need X-rays the most to evaluate internal trauma and hemorrhage that cannot be seenm the outside.
As the original animal hospital in Tempe and the 2cnd oldest in the East Valley, we would not have this longevity if any of your ending comments were true.

Absolute TRUST!. Best care of our pets for SIX years now. Honest, caring, thorough! Plus, they listen...from the reception area to the doctors. Highly recommend only taking your pets here.
We love you!!!

Quality Care and Compassion. I have been taking my pets to University Veterinary Hospital for almost 10 years now. I can’t say enough about the level of compassion and care that Dr. Gus and his entire staff, from Doctors to Technicians, Receptionist and the Kennel team has given to me and all of my four legged family. I have only high praises for this outstanding facility, and in my opinion, whether my pets are being seen for their yearly exams or facing a medical emergency, UVH will do everything possible to ensure the best outcome for my pets. UVH offers such a wide variety of specialties so I know what ever may happen with my pets, the very best care will be immediately available. The extended evening and weekend hours give me the flexibility to make an appointment that accommodates my schedule. I highly recommend University Veterinary Hospital to anyone who is searching for the highest quality of care available for their pets.
Thanks for your positive comments.
You made our day.

We are not happy when you don't buyyyyyyyy!.
I took my puppy in after making an apointment and printing out the new client form, for a 10% discount.
Every single person, DR. ,Vet Tech, Reception were all confused on what their pricing was and how the discount was given. Durning the exam my family was treated as if we were the most uneducated people in the world (we have owned a puppy before)!.. And every attempt to sell microchip, fecal, dental, treats, food, extra vaccines,$300 puppy package plan and a kitten was made. They really wanted to worry us asking if the dog came from the pound, pet store, or other place were doggies get sick. No sale, I got the puppy from a friend, so much for pushing that bordatella shot. Dr. told us $53 for exam and 1st shots total $78. Next time he will need a rabies shot because he is older (4wks) and we will get changed that $53 dollars again for a mandatory exam with rabies shot. It soon became obvious they were not happy with us, we evedently didn't spend enough $ to appear like responsible pet owners. More to come.......
I am so sorry you felt we were selling to you. We try to educate new owners about proper pet care. There is much to discuss and it can sound overwhelming, It is important for the future health of you pet. Fecals, vaccinations, wormings all need to be discussed. As to "selling" you a dental on a puppy, they don't even have their permenant teeth yet. What is discussed is proper dental care. We do mention our puppy plans because they have everything a new puppy needs at a 40% discount.
Best Vet hospital there is.
I have ben a long time client and cannot even imagine going to any other vets. My dogs and reptiles get excellent care there. Yje equipment is state of the art and the facility is attractive, bright and open. And by the way, the art work on the walls is awesome!!! The doctors are up on the latest procedures and meds. They take time to explain things thoroughly and are always friendly and caring towards both clientssand their pets. This also goes for the large staff of receptionists, vet techs and kennel techs. Emergencies are handled quickly and efficiently. Owners of pets having had surgery or animals staying at the hospital are kept informed on a continuing basis of the condition of their animlals and the progress that is being made towards good health.
The boarding facility is spacious and kept scrupulously clean. It is truly a PET RESORT where pets get loving care.
This is a great place. Just ask my dogs!!!!
Thank You for your words of affermation. Your comments will be shared with all of our staff.

Proud to be a University Animal Hospital client!. I became a client when I first moved to south Phoenix on a recommendation from my previous veterinarian. I love that University has so many doctors because I can always get in to see someone. The hospital is designed really well and I *love* the boarding areas! My dog and cats have a great time when they board there. The prices are right in line considering their doctors have so much experience and skill. I like that I can buy my pet food and I can get my dog groomed right at the same place! One time, when I brought my dog, Louie, in for grooming, the groomer found a puncture wound on his foot that I would never have noticed. She alerted my vet who examined him and called me with a treatment plan. I really appreciated the attention that the groomer and the vet gave Louie and it made it really easy and convenient for me to get him treated. I also like that they send me reminder cards in the mail so I don't have to keep track of when all my pets' vaccines and exams are due. Thank you University Animal Hospital for providing my pets with top-notch care!
Thank You,
We love clients like you.

Great Facility. My dog loves coming to University. Everytime we turn into the parking lot he gets so excited. Since he can't tell me what he is thinking, I find his smile and tail wagging to be very reassuring. The people seem genuinely interested in providing the best care. This place offers great service and follow through, they obviously take pride in their work and in the hospital. Jack has a great time in the kennel and doctors visits are always relaxed with doctors that seem really knowledgable.
Thank You
