    We were on vacation in Gulf Shores when our 7 year old Cocker Spaniel started acting off. I called to see if they could help rather than driving to Pensacola and the emergency vet and they told me to come right in. Everyone was so kind, from the person answering the phone who asked, "What's your baby's name" to every tech, assistant and doctor that we saw. Sadly, we had to say goodbye to our baby, but I am so grateful for their kindness, care, concern and how they valued our baby. Delivering news of tumors, internal bleeding and kidney failure cannot be easy, but it was done with such care that it helped immensely.

    I really recommend this place, I was frantically searching for a vet to take my pixie frog too as he’s not feeling well, VCA was the only place in this area that’s willing to work on frogs! The vet showed genuine concern for my little guy and treated him with the exact care I was looking for. I’m so grateful for the employees here and help from the vet!!!

    While recently vacationing in the area, my Malshi, Oscar, got a deeply embedded sand spur in his paw which we were unable to get out. I easily made an appointment online with VCA late the night before. Once I arrived, we were met with kindness and professionalism and promptly seen. Upon examination, it was revealed that the sand spur was gone (Oscar must've gotten it out on his own during the night) but for good measure, the tech thoroughly examined all his paws. Upon checkout, I was told, that despite taking up their time, I owed them nothing. The staff here clearly love animals and I would not hesitate to recommend them. If I lived in the area, I would definitely use them.
