Report
Ive had a puppy with chronic ear infections and allergies and Ive gone to several vets local to me but they dont accommodate me or give her treatments to help, just the same thing that Ive told them doesnt help. The vets and staff here are very accommodating and helpful, its always worth the hour drive to get my little girl taken care of! They give her exactly what helps her and listen when I tell them what doesnt work, and have helped me figure out her allergies and give her prescriptions for preventing ear infections, whereas other vets just tell me to come back if it

We have taken our cats here since we got them and they have always been great with them. The staff seem to genuinely care about our pets. We started taking our dog here as well. His old vet seemed more worried about adding up the bill then making sure he got the best treatment, but not these guys we have felt like the prescriptions and treatment are the best course for our dog and they seem great at understanding the personalities of the animals as well.

I moved my 11 year old Malamute x husky across the country and was referred to Deer park pet hospital by a friend of my husband 2 years ago. He is now an elder dog and the quality of his life is now our focus. Happy to have the excellent medical guidance from the skilled veterinarians and staff for my dogs aging needs. Doctor Higgins is amazing... I wish he could doctor me! He explains medical needs and procedures very clearly. I have never left there questioning or googling anything the doctor said. So refreshing! Thank you deer park pet hospital doctors and staff

Took my new kitten in for a routine check up and his vaccine updates today, fantastic service and the vet followed up to see if I had any concerns with him that needed to be addressed. Will definitely be taking my pets here the next time they need a visit. Little Rambo didn't mind going either!
