Adobe Animal Hospital

We now live in CA, but this was always our vet when we lived in ELP. We have had positive experiences in the past and still bring our dogs to Adobe to get their teeth cleaned. However, today was not a pleasant one.
Our 6lb dog busted a nail and a big part of the quick was exposed. While waiting for the doc, the vet tech examined her & was insistent that it was the nail, not the quick. My husband repeatedly told her it was the quick, but she clearly didn’t listen. She SAID that the doc would look at it but she DID the opposite. She took our dog to trim her nails and cut the quick! My husband could hear her crying in pain. My husband was upset. He explained to the doc that the tech had cut it, but at that point there was nothing to be done except putting antibiotic ointment on it.
Perhaps the doc would have done the same thing as the vet. However, as the pet owner, we should have been able to make that decision AFTER the veterinarian examined her. It was very unprofessional of the staff to assume they knew what’s best. We pay for the vet to examine & diagnose our dogs, NOT the tech.

First of all, let me say this clinic is one of the most expensive clinics in this area. The owner of this clinic is clearly avaricious and does not have any interest in truly helping your pet. In the entire time that we took our pet, not a single time did he offer to do anything that would require any effort outside of his comfort zone. He was glad to always take our money of course. He is limited in his knowledge of complex cases, but won’t bother to make a phone call to other doctors/​specialists about what can be done to help your pet. His response is simply, «I don’t know.»

Always a pleasure to visit; their care and advice is always amazing! The hours of operation are super convenient and the staff is always happy to help.

Delightful staff, great vets that are willing to actually talk to you, and they love on the animals that come in. According to some others locally, they’re a little more expensive than some other vets, but I just shrug and say «you get what you pay for» at this point. I’d rather Adobe have my money than anyone else I’ve spoken with in the area.

After a traumatic 3-​day journey in the car during our move from AL to TX, our kitty picked up a nasty cat-​cold. I called Adobe and not knowing me at all, they provided helpful insight over the phone– not the «bring her in now no matter the symptoms» type advice I expected, but actual practical helpful info. Once we determined this illness wasnt going to magically disappear as we had hoped, Adobe not only accepted her as a walk-​in, but also didnt make me feel like a terrible cat mom for not getting her in sooner. Was in and out with meds and peace of mind in 45 minutes. Kitty is well on her way to recovery and should be eating me out of house and home and getting into trouble again in no time.

Staff was professional, friendly and caring. Had to go out of town so I left my small dog in their kennel. Which was Very clean!
Felt very comfortable with the staff, I’ll definitely be using them again!
