VCA Worth Animal Hospital

If I could give them more stars I would. If you want great service, compassion, and genuine care, then here is the best place to bring your beloved pet.
Since we walked through the door today we were greeted with smiles (even though we were little late for our appt). The office was very clean and professional. The paperwork was fairly simple to fill out. Everyone was so sweet and generally concerned for our dog Pumba. The nice vet tech asked all questions and had him evaluated by the Dr. very quickly.We met with Dr. Dill, which by the way was the best Veterinarian that we have ever encountered, and delivered sad but expected news. They got in contact with our previous vet about blood work and were able to obtain the records, so we didn’t need to pay for any additional blood work tests. She explained all possible options that we would consider but ultimately, we decided to put our dog down due to the circumstances of his current health/​age.
Everyone made the whole dreaded process as caring and sensitive as possible. The vet techs, nurses, and especially Dr. Dill, were all so in tune with our feelings during this hard time. They gave us lots of time to spend with our dog before and after the euthanasia. Dr. Dill went as far as to provide us with comfort beverages for us in case we were feeling extremely emotional. I cannot stress enough how great and trustworthy they were. As we were leaving she even went as far as to go outside to give us a nice warm hug to send us off.
I highly recommend this hospital 100%. Please bring your pet here as I am positive they will treat them very well. I will forever be grateful for the how kind they were to us and our Pumba. Thank you all so much for comforting us as much as you all did.

Its not every day you meet a hero… Dr. Angel Yu is one of mine… She kept my dog Lonnie alive and did everything she could for as long as she could. She is very precise in surgeries and vaccinations. She’s a perfectionist when it comes to your dogs! Another reason to love her is she genuinely cares. The work she has done on my dogs has been amazing. If she ever leaves VCA me and my dogs will follow her. She’s also very easy to talk to where u feel you can ask her anything. She truly is an“Angel.”

After a horrific trip to the Animal Welfare League with my dog Arthur, I decided to bring him to VCA for a second opinion. It was so refreshing to bring him to such a clean, caring and attentive vet. I scheduled my appointment with Dr. Loxtercamp per the previous reviews and he was fantastic! He was thorough, attentive, positive, and also very friendly with Arthur. I don’t know why someone previously said the front desk girls were afraid of dogs, they all loved Arthur and even came around the desk to pet and play with him! I will definitely be bringing Arthur back if he has any further medical issues.

Our little hamster was sick and dying. I did enough research to figure out that due to his age and symptoms, his condition was terminal. He was suffering for a while. I had to step up and do the humane thing. It’s a hard choice to make. Everyone here was so helpful, understanding, and supportive. I called many places and they were the most reasonable. As a stay-​at-​home Mom of 3, money is tight. I would recommend this place for everything. We will be back. Hopefully next time it will be just a check up. They even gave flower seeds to give back to the Earth and in remembrance of our little baby. And they mailed a sympathy card a few weeks later. Nice caring place that is reasonable! RIP «Nugget»

This place is wonderful. It’s clean, the staff is professional, and the vets are intelligent and talented. I’ve brought three different species of animal (parakeet, cockatiel, dwarf hamster) here, and the doctors and their assistants have always taken perfect care of them.
Did I also mention how clean it was? I’ve been here five times, and each visit was pleasant, unlike its competitors. The VCA Animal Hospital deals with a wide array of animals, too. This is the place you want to go.
I really like how they show you how to give or apply whatever medicine you need to your pet. It’s not the easiest thing to do without a little training. The people who work here are not only healers, but also educators. And they’re patient – with your pet, with you. They enjoy their work.
In fact, I trust this place so much that when one of my sons recently had a cough, I tried to pass my son off as first a really big hamster and later a relatively hairless primate, but they refused to treat him. However, they were happy to give me a list of websites that I «might want to check out.» You can tell they care.
I recommend them highly.

The VCA Worth vet team is absolutely amazing. I have been taking my two dogs here for over three years now, and I have never had a bad experience. My boys have experienced everything from standard annual visits to dental cleanings to an unexpected and urgent bladder surgery.
My dogs see Dr. Loxtercamp, who is one of the most compassionate veterinarians I have seen. He does a great job advising on what he feels is the best plan of attack while considering your opinions and the financial implications. I truly believe that he cares about my dogs and goes the extra mile in regards to customer service. I can always rely on check in calls after any surgical procedure, and timely return calls. My oldest dog has a very small circle of people he likes, and he is genuinely happy to see Dr. Loxtercamp.
There have been a couple of times where we had an unexpected injury when Dr. Loxtercamp was not available, and the other vets on staff provided the same level of compassionate care. Additionally, they looped Dr. Loxtercamp into what had happened and their recommended treatment plan. It was amazing to see how well they all worked together and communicated.
The front staff and vet techs are also fantastic. They remember our dogs by name and provide such a welcoming first impression.
VCA Worth has their prices clearly listed in the exam rooms, and I have yet to have a surgical estimate come in above the estimate. Quality care for animals is never cheap, but they do offer bundled packages for annual testing, and also have half price vaccine days.
I have at least 10 other veterinarians that are closer, but choose to drive 20 minutes to this location due to the amazing and consistent care. I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to care for their furry babies with as much love and attention as they do.

Their service was so kind. Very gentle and patient with my dogs injury and the price was less than I thought it would be. They have the best doctors. Love this place!

Understand that this is big corporate vet medicine. Their primary concern is making money. We just moved our dog from here are our experiences were very inconsistent. I never felt like they actually cared about our dog. I always felt like they were trying to get us to agree to one more thing so they could up their daily cash intake.
In three years we never had a decent explanation for a test or procedure. We always go this, «Well, it’s your decision» answer. Last week we took our dog there because he was very sick. They gave him a shot that had terrible side effects — and they never warned us about the possible side effects. When I wanted to take him somewhere else for a second opinion I received a call from the medical director. This man spent about ½ hour telling me why it was our fault the dog was sick. I said, «I get it. You need to cover your corporate liability check off list. Now send the charts.» He kept going on and on about all the things they thought we should do, but never put it all together.
At the new vet she said, «I want to run this blood test to see if X or Y is the problem.» We never heard that kind of connection from VCA whenever a test or procedure was suggested. She spent two hours with us. We ran a lot of tests and understand what she was looking for before approving the tests and x-​rays.
If you want big corporate vet medicine where someone is always available, but the main goal is to make money this is the place for you. If you want a personal experience where you feel like the vet actually cares about your pet you need to go elsewhere.

I wish I could give 10 stars!!!
I thought my cat was going to die. She was in kidney and liver failure. I was a complete mess. The staff was SOOOOO patient and so kind. I’m a college student and don’t have a ton of money, and they completely understood. They figured out a plan to run all of the tests needed and not cost me a zillion dollars.
It took a lot of work and time, but my cat completely recovered (to everyone’s surprise)!!!
The Dr’s are amazing. The assistants are wonderful. The front desk staff is extremely kind.
I will NEVER EVER EVER go any where else.

Excellent medical care and very competent Vets. I have been going to them for over 25 years. Yes, they are pricey, however, you get what you pay for in most cases.

The best place fo your pet’s care and more! Dr. Yu (female Chinese vet) is the best, hands down. As an example, she instantly discovered major problems with my dogs that many other vets in different animal clinics I took my dogs to, did not. She is highly compassionate, very friendly, intelligent in her line of work, sweet and I know I can trust her care with my dogs at the clinic. She gives me a peace of mind. THANK YOU, Dr. YU :)

I’ve been going here for about three years now, and they are simply amazing. Finding a vet was not easy for my fiancé and I, as we not only have cats, but also rabbits and guinea pigs; VCA sees them all!
Dr. Loxtercamp has seen my lovely, ten-​year-​old bunny Lucy for her recurring tooth problem, and he also did an amazing and non-​invasive removal of an abscess on her head. He’s seen my guinea pig Mei, who sadly has passed in recent months, but not after living a very long seven years, the final of which Dr. Lox helped me to arrange end-​of-​life care for her in. Finding a vet who is knowledgeable and trustworthy with ‘exotic’ pets like that is hard enough, but I never imagined I would have a vet who was so kind and genuinely cared about what he does.
More recently, we had one of our cats come down suddenly and tragically with cancer, and Dr. Dill helped us all that she could with testing and going over treatment options in the short time before she passed away. And in all the sadness that surrounded that, the staff at VCA were amazing in helping us arrange her cremation – they even gave us a lock of her fur and a certificate with her pawprint. They cared for her and for us even when she had gone. I’ve never been treated so well by any other vet before.
Again, even more recently, I adopted a young cat from a local shelter and she has been extremely ill. Dr. Redfield and the techs worked their magic and got her to perk up, to eat and drink once again. We’re due back for her recheck in a week, and she’s only been home a day, but Dr. Redfield called to see how she was doing and is genuinely concerned for her well-​being.
I know without a doubt that when I bring one of our pets here, that they are treated with love and care. And while not as important, they treat us with kindness and understanding. Especially when it comes to older animals and knowing when to do end-​of-​life-​care; I appreciate having a vet who doesn’t just diagnose and tell me to do procedures, but goes over all options and takes age and health into consideration. Sometimes you need to know when to accept things and let a pet go gracefully without putting them through invasive treatments with poor outcomes, and while making that choice is never easy, it’s very comforting and reassuring to have your vet on your side like that and not pushing you in the other direction.

My fiancée and I take both of our cats to VCA in Worth. It has never been a problem getting them appointments or seeing a vet right away.
Rocky has been in for vaccinations as well as serious blockage issues (I guess its kinda common in cats). My fiancée has been taking him there for years.
Recently we found a stray kitten (now named Sylvester). We brought him to VCA Animal Hospital to get him checked out before we decided to keep him. In less then 15 minutes they could tell us the bump on his back was actually an abscessed infection from a bite he got from another animal while living in the wild, they could tell us that yes he had fleas and ear mites, and that he did not have a chip to find another owner.
They cleaned him up, gave us all the medication we needed, scheduled follow up appointments, and called us a few times between appointments to check up on him and make sure he was doing ok.
They are very kind and thorough and make you feel like your animal is in the best care.
I completely agree with the opinion that they are a little pricey. I don’t know how much other vets charge but we had:
An initial consulation, had his wound cleaned and irrigated, had his ears cleaned out, was given ear drops for the ear mites, medication (Revolution) for the fleas and heart worms, had him tested for feline leukemia, got antibiotics. Later he had a follow up appointment, where we also got him fixed (he stayed overnight), and had a prescription for pain killers… All in all in a 3 week span we spent over $ 1200.00 on our little stray cat.

Before VCA Worth, I had never been to a vet where the front desk did not like dogs. Really, they never acknowledge the animals coming in — strange.
That being said, we love the vets and vet techs here. They always do follow-​ups after non-​routine appointments and have no problem filling out pet health insurance forms or rebate forms. The vets always take time to answer all our questions and I always feel free to call back if I have any questions.

Truly a wonderful animal hospital. I was a receptionist here for 3 years and found it to be a really enjoyable experience. Before I was an employee my family had established this as our pet’s vet. Sadly, Lucky is no longer with us, as he had kidney disease. However, I must say, the staff and doctors were really great with him. They treated him to the full extent possible and referred us to wonderful specialists when necessary. They took really good care of him when he was hospitalized and were very compassionate with us in dealing with his long-​term illness. Overall, it is a clean hospital with a friendly and knowledgeable staff who cares. The only downside is that they are a bit on the pricier side.

What a wonderful place to take your pets. It actually feels more like a professional medical center with a touch of that pet smell. It’s big, clean, with different areas to sit with your pet and even an area (though small) for children to play in while you wait.
We had to take our cat Sebastian who was critical, and yes, to put him to sleep. Dr. McNamee called me at home in the morning and in the afternoon trying a variety of treatments to see if Sebastian would come around. He was just too sick and too old and I didn’t want him to suffer anymore. The doctor gave me a thorough synopsis of his condition and possible more invasive treatments as an option.
Both my spouse and I were there when the final treatment needed to occur and the staff (techs, doctors, front desk) were very sensitive to our situation (as well as gentle to Sebastian, he was very clean and well kept). They offered whatever paperwork or payment that needed to be completed before the act so we could just leave and take him home with us.
I thank so much the staff at Worth Animal Hospital and I truly recommend them for your pet’s needs.
Sebastian is now laying under our Japanese willow tree so that he is always with us. When I am ready, I will probably post a picture of him as my Unilocal icon in memorium.
