Tara Animal Hospital

Took our rescue dog here for the first visit today. He apparently loved Cindy so much at the front desk he jumped up to greet her! Everyone at the office made us feel comfortable and welcome. Cindy“s personality and compsssion won us over, customers for the foreseeable future. She is awesome!

After sharing my concern for the cost they reviewed the invoice and found where they over charged me $ 149 and change. My compliments to them for fixing an error.

I don’t shop at Tiffany’s because they are expensive and overpriced. which I know by pricing them before I buy. at the same time I don’t post on social media that they prey on people because I can’t afford to shop there. that would be slander.
Tara has taken great care if my pets for years and I don’t have a problem with their prices.

My first experience with Tara was 11 year ago with my kitty Kringle. We had just moved to Texas and she had a head cold that caused her to sneeze non-​stop. The doctors at Tara were outstanding. They gave her breathing treatments every day. I would take her in on my way to work and I would picker her up to go home at night. Several years later she developed kidney problems. Due to their care and love she lived another 4 years. They taught me how to give her meds and sub fluids. They worked with me to keep her happy and healthy. They were always there to answer questions. When I had to put my baby to sleep they were unbelievable compassionate, understanding and consoling.
I now have 2 kitties who are rescue litter mates. Early on the little boy developed urinary track stones. The doctors at Tara saved his life twice when he was very sick. They have continued to monitor him over the years and take excellent care of him.
About 5 months ago we adopted our first dog, a German Shepherd puppy. Day one she started going to Tara for her checkups, shots and treatments. I would not trust anyone else with her. When she got sick recently the doctor on call was wonderful and told us exactly what to do.
I do not live anywhere near Tara. I live on the far side of Southlake. In order to get my pets to Tara I pass at least 10 other vets. I believe the care they provide is worth the 30 minute drive.

Dr Reed is the best vet in all of DFW! I drive my dog over an hour and a half, passing many vets just for her opinion and my trust in her. Recently I had another emergency situation with my dog, confirming why I only want my boy to see Dr Reed.

I love Tara Animal Hospital! The Vets and Techs are all friendly and knowledgeable and they care for your pets as if they were their own. I love walking in and having the girls at the front desk remember my dog’s name. You can’t ask for finer or more friendly service.

I just happened across «Lori’s review», and was shocked to see this associated with Tara Animal Hospital. In 1987, I started seeing Dr. Susan Roberts (now Dr. Susan Read), and have always considered myself blessed, fortunate, lucky, and spoiled to have her in my corner. On occasions, when Dr. Read was not available, I’ve also seen Dr. Sherry Woods, whom I also trust completely.
The reason I can compare Vet services is that I’ve lived in CO and NM, as well as TX. Certainly, I would never take my pets to anyone I don’t trust. That said, there is a huge difference in the level of care and compassion, of just that feeling that your pet has someone who really cares, who takes the time to meet him or her – not just the human owner. When I was referred to a Vet in CO, he introduced himself to me, but didn’t even touch my dog. If you’re a pet person, you know what I mean. I didn’t need the Vet to fawn all over my dog, but to not even touch him, to try to make him feel safe? That visit resulted in a trip to TX to see Dr. Read.
Unfortunately, I understand all too well the devastating sadness that comes with the loss of a pet. I’m also aware that every story has two sides. While this does not diminish the sadness I feel for anyone who loses a pet in any circumstances, I do not know what might have happened from the Vet’s standpoint. Did the owners call or return to Tara when they began seeing the side effects she mentions? Were there other circumstances which might have contributed to this loss?
In my experience, and we’ve been through many procedures, routine and not, but I’ve always received instructions for after care. In the case of surgeries, Dr. Read always calls when the surgery is finished to give me an update. I receive written instructions when we leave, both for care and meds, and always a follow-​up call the following day. As for vaccinations, I’ve always been told that for anything out of the ordinary, to call or return, or if they’re closed, go the the emergency hospital. Always.
Finally, I might not always particularly like a receptionist on a given day, and I know there are places to get cheaper care, but the care my dog gets from Dr. Read is in ALL ways the very best, concerned, kind, and highly professional, and that’s exactly what I want. It’s that wonderful feeling you have when you leave your best friend in her care, and you never have to worry or wonder. What could be better than that?

My name is Bella Turner, I was 9 lbs Maltese and only 3 years old and I went on June 14^th to get my vaccines at Tara Animal Hospital, I died on June 29^th from these vaccines. Dr Woods at Tara Animal Hospital said it would be fine to get all these vaccines at once. The Leptorspira was the one that did this to me plus all the other ones that go along with these vaccines. I want to save other dogs and cats life so this doesn’t happen to them. Please before you go get your dogs or cats vaccines look up what ones are needed and don’t give them all at once even if the Vet says it’s ok, because it’s not. Within 72 hours after the vaccines your animal will start to fill tired and start getting a fever and gums will start to get pale and there are other side effects too when you look on the internet about these vaccines, so many other things can happen that didn’t happen to me but we can’t let these vets do this to us because of greed. I hope this information will help people understand about vaccines. If you need more information please go to
This is my Story… Please share this with anybody that has a pet…
