Updated Review: Beware of this clinic! I am updating my review to make it clear that our dog Blanket passed away due to this clinic’s negligence, and now they are trying to shift the blame onto us. Despite completing all the tests they recommended and following their treatment plan, Blanket’s health rapidly declined, and we were given conflicting and incomplete information that led to her death. When we first brought Blanket in, they informed us that her bloodwork was “abnormal” but they didn’t know why. Concerned for her health, we decided to go ahead with all the tests they recommended, even though we initially only planned to do a few. Despite completing all of the tests they suggested, they still told us that Blanket was “fine.” Tragically, just four days later, Blanket passed away. In their response, the clinic now claims that further diagnostics were necessary but not pursued due to financial constraints. This is completely false. We paid for all the tests they recommended during the visit, and at no point did they mention the need for additional tests or treatments. Any decisions about further testing should have been discussed with us, but they never communicated this. After Blanket passed, I reviewed her medical records and discovered that she had kidney and liver issues, which were never mentioned to us during the visit. Despite these conditions, they prescribed Meloxicam, a medication that is known to worsen kidney and liver problems. This likely accelerated Blanket’s decline. We trusted their expertise and followed their treatment plan, not knowing that this medication would harm her even more. It was only after her passing that I discovered these issues by interpreting the medical records myself—something that should have been communicated to us clearly from the start. They did mention a heart murmur during the visit, but reassured us that it wasn’t dangerous. Additionally, the systemic inflammation and excessive thirst—the reasons we brought Blanket in—were never properly addressed. They also briefly mentioned cancer when they examined a mass on Blanket, but after the fine needle aspiration (FNA), we were told it was just fat and not cancerous. Cancer was never seriously discussed during the visit, but now they use it as a possible explanation for her sudden death. This clinic’s lack of communication and failure to inform us of critical health issues contributed directly to Blanket’s passing. They gave us incomplete information and neglected to inform us of her kidney and liver conditions, instead prescribing medication that made those conditions worse. Our pet deserved better care, and so did we. I’m sharing this update to make others aware of our experience. If you choose to go to this clinic get a second opinion or better yet, avoid this place altogether. Rest in peace, Blanket.

The staff is incredibly kind and understanding, willing to answer questions, and honestly cares about the well-being of your fur baby. The office is clean and very efficient. They keep you updated by text and emails. All of my animals have been cared for by HOPE, and they will continue to be the place we go to for our future babies.

My experience at HOPE Animal Foundation was 100 percent positive. They took very good care of my dog, Lily, a little Terrier mix who went in for spaying surgery. I had a real sense that these are people who care about the animals they work with. On top of that, their organizational efficiency was outstanding, especially given the high volume of animals they see every day. From booking the appointment to the super efficient check-in procedure to explaining what to expect to picking up the animal, everything went like clockwork. I give them my highest recommendation. -Greg Ahlstrand

Definitely reasonably priced. Always busy and you have to schedule an appointment. It’s not a personable place, just because they have so many people and animals to get to. You get what you pay. They are there for people to get what they need for their pets at a low cost (lower than private vets anyways). I’ve had all my pets spayed or neutered there because of the low cost.

I had to take my two babies in and they handled them amazingly. Check-in and pick up was easy with their QR code. They offered extra iv fluids, pain medication and an e-collar (extra charge, but well worth) which made my cats much more comfortable. After 48 hours, they seem to be coming back to their regular selves. Still resting but they're doing great. Thank you guys from Puff and Jinx <3

Their prices are about half of all other places and their quality of care is the best. However, it's pretty much impossible to talk with someone over the phone but if you text or email them, they'll usually get back to you later that day or the next day. P.S. We miss ya Shelby & Bella 🐱 🐶
