Bodhi Animal Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

We see Dr. Boyd at Bodhi and we love her! She’s knowledgeable, professional, and has great bedside manner. The whole staff is really nice and takes great care of our fur babies. They are not the least expensive vet but I think the level of care they provide is more than worth it. Bonus points for off street parking and a location that’s close to my house!

For 10 years my cat received excellent care from Bodhi vets & staff. Most of it was routine, but in his final illness, the attention of Dr. Boyd and all of the staff who supported her work demonstrated expert, informed, and compassionate care. Not only was my cat treated with respect and gentleness, I also received professional, practical advice combined with tactful emotional understanding. I was never pushed to do more testing or treatments than were necessary. When it became obvious that the only remaining option was palliative care, my cat was comforted to the end. The costs were reasonable for all of the services and medications provided. We are very grateful and I recommend Bodhi highly.

I never write reviews, and especially stay from bad reviews, but this must be done. I have gone to Bodhi animal hospital for about 6 years now. In fact, how I found them was when I first moved to SD and needed a job. I worked briefly there as a receptionist. It was one of the worst jobs I have had with coworkers who were entitled, I received no help or training, and it wasn't the best work environment nor welcoming. I had a dog who I loved dearly and continued to go to Bodhi after my experience because he was established there, and I didn't want the hassle of finding a new vet. I often left upset, didn't understand what they were charging for and are not the best communicators. Forwarding to this year, my dog was very sick, weak, wouldn't eat, panting and bloated stomach. When I took my dog to Bodhi, they immediately diagnosed him by feeling his stomach and back area and diagnosed him with a slipped disk. Bodhi told me 2 weeks resting with 0 activity and muscle relaxers for his slipped disk. After two weeks, he was even worse than when I first brought him in. When I called Bodhi, I expressed my concerns and the urgency that he needed to be seen again because I believe he was misdiagnosed. They told me there was no openings and to go to another vet which they provided me numbers, I called the vets they recommended, and they were all closed. You would think if Bodhi doesnt have openings, they would keep their customers up to date on who can possibly see their pet and their hours of operations. I had to do research and I finally found another vet, All Day Pet Animal Hospital, where they took the time to listen to me and all the symptoms my dog had. I was right, Bodhi animal hospital did misdiagnose my dog, what he really had was a Tumor in his spleen and it was weeks away from exploding. Bodhi animal hospital never called back to check on my dog and I have yet to tell them he was misdiagnosed and has now passed. If Bodhi would have taken the time on our original appointment, things would have been different. Plus, how Bodhi reacted to my call after telling them that my dog was worse than before and telling me to go somewhere else then giving me phone numbers to all closed vets when I needed my dog to be seen that day. I am so upset with them; I will tell anyone and everyone who will listen NEVER TO GO THERE. Horrible customer service, lack of empathy and overall do not care about owners or their pets. I cannot say enough bad things about this place.

My beloved dog of 12 years and 10 months had to be euthanized within 5 days of visiting Bodhi Animal Hospital for the first time. However I am not writing this review to complain about his passing itself or nearly $3k that I spent on a variety of tests without ever finding out exactly what he suffered from. I am writing this review because my experience proves that this veterinary practice has no empathy towards grieving pet owners. I was on a daily communication with the vet who took my dog’s case but it abruptly ended after I took him in for euthanasia/cremation request and I never heard back from her. Until I had an unfortunate encounter with this place I thought it was a common practice for veterinary hospitals to at least send a sympathy card following the loss of a beloved pet. I remember receiving one in the past even when I took one of my dogs in just for cremation service without any prior relationship. With Bodhi, all I received was an automatically generated email titled “Share the love” in which they ask me to refer friends and family, the day after my dog’s passing….. I loved my dog dearly like any devoted pet owner would and never expected this kind of indignity from a pet hospital with the name like “Bodhi”.

We love Bodhi! We’ve brought our senior cat a few times since moving here, and he’s always been well taken care of and the staff have been lovely. But this week we took in a stray kitten that the vets believe had been hit by a car and had suffered major internal injury. The entire staff, and Dr. Morgan in particular, were so incredible with her, and so supportive of us. An emergency surgery for a cat we didn’t even know 24 hours earlier was definitely not something we had planned to be paying for, and Dr. Morgan personally called hospitals and surgeons until she found someone who could do the emergency surgery for an amount and in a way we could afford. The surgeon they brought in was also fantastic (I don’t remember his name!). They were all so communicative, truly had Jenny’s best interest at heart, and also really worked with us to make sure we could do what was best for her while keeping the unexpected cost as low as possible. Jenny is doing great and seems to have a good life ahead of her. Our deepest thanks to Dr. Morgan, the surgeon, and the entire Bodhi team.

Every single person who works at Bodhi is caring, kind, and great at their jobs. They helped me get my cat a life saving surgery and have checked in with me on his progress every day. Thanks to everyone at Bodhi, but especially Dr. B, Ernest is on his way to healing, and we will absolutely be coming back for his annual checkups. I can’t recommend this vet enough!
