Every person and service associated with University Animal Hospital is outstanding and now offering home delivery of food and prescriptions just tops the list.  It is a god send for me to be able to order Chesska's food in large quantities and have it delivered to the front door.  The delivery fee is nominal compared with making the choice of feeding a lesser product because I have run out of time to pick it up or my husband is not around to do the heavy lifting.  I have also ordered her meds and I am thrilled with the service.  Most of all, Chesska gets what she needs and on time.  It is an easy service on-line or on the phone and has worked 100%.

Thank you,

Your animal hospital has been a blessing to me from the first time I brought an animal to you.  I recommend you to everyone and anyone who asks where I take my animals and always praise you highly.  I always feel that each of you care for my pets and love them as if they were your own and are extremely thorough in all exams, treatments, observations and recommendations.  I am profoundly grateful that I can bring both my pup and kitty to you for everything: well checks, illness, boarding, grooming, hospital boarding.  To know that my pets will always be cared for by the same caring people each time makes leaving them with you so much less stressful for them and for me!!  Thank you for the devotion and dedications you bring every day.  You are indeed my "angels".  

Happy New Year Everybody!!

Gratefully, Mara

 To all the staff and doctors who took care of Bare:

It is not very often that we have a chance to express our deep gratitude and profound sense of friendliness to everyone who got the opportunity to meet our late beloved American Hairless Terrier, Bare.  But even through our immense grief and sorrow, we would like to acknowledge the excellent care and compassion that you have all extended to him during his short time on Earth with us.  We will always think warm thoughts of our "Naked Man" and the kindness that you have shown during this dark time.  The white rose you sent is slowly losing its vitality, but the intent and concern you showed will never be forgotten.

You are all tops in our book!!  Thank you most of all to Dr. Bjornebo who never lost hope and also feels our pain.  Thanks as well to Dr. Cortez for your understanding of how important he is/was to us.  May the Lord bless all in the future.

Love and peace,

Darlene and Charles (Bare's parents)

Bob and I can’t say enough good things about yet another experience at University. We found a pregnant stray (which we eventually named Abby) on a Sunday night. Less than 12 hours later she delivered the first of what would be 12 stillborn puppies (over the course of 24 hours). That was sad enough, but a day later Abby was listless and had little color in her gums or her tongue. Tests revealed she was very anemic. She was put on medication, but 24 hours later the number went even lower to 8%. Our vet in Laveen advised a blood transfusion immediately. As they were closing in a few hours, they said they were unable to assist us. Bob and I immediately thought of University, our vet for so many years before we moved to Laveen. University agreed immediately to do a blood transfusion as soon as we could get to the clinic.

 Once there, Abby saw Dr. Tascon who would oversee the transfusion. Eventually, after a few weeks, Abby’s red count went up, but so did her white count, in fact, it went through the roof. She was put on another antibiotic, she was still a very sick little girl. Through all of this, Dr. Tascon was there for Abby. He was so good with her we made a point of making appointments only when he was working. Most dogs are not excited about going to the vet, Abby wasn’t like that with Dr. Tascon and we wanted to ensure that she continued to look forward to car rides and visits to the office.

Eventually, after many appointments and tests, the numbers adjusted and both fell within the normal range. Today, Abby is a healthy, happy, spayed little girl who is full of energy and love, typical lab personality traits. While we worried constantly about Abby’s health, we never worried about her care at University. All of the staff, from the front desk to the techs to Dr. Tascon were wonderful and caring, exactly what a scared, sick stray needed at that time. We can’t thank everyone enough for taking such wonderful care of Abby.

Dr. Naig, 

I wanted to thank you and your staff for taking care of my baby girl kitty, "Fire".  Even though she didn't make it, I knew she was in good hands.  Thank you for going the extra mile and calling the ER vet, calling me, and checking in even though you were already off for the day.

Fire, "Miss Fire" as I called her, was so sweet and had the loudest purr; I am sorry you never knew her when she was healthy - everyone falls in love with her.  Thank you for recommending taking her to the ER for the night, they also did everything they could to keep her comfortable until the end.  I was with her when she died and am so very greatful for that.

I have trusted many animals in the care of University Animal Hospital and after this week with Fire, I will continue to do so. 

Please thank all the staff that helped with her care.  I have worked in the animal field for almost 20 years, I know what dedication it takes.  Miss Fire was blessed to have had all of you in her corner until the end.  As her mother I will be eternally greatful.

Thank you,

Devorah Y.
