4 Paws Animal Hospital

I was very disappointed to read the post stating people were unhappy. I can tell you, I picked up a dog literally off the street and brought him into 4 Paws for an evaluation before I brought him home. Dr. Jaimez and her staff took great care of him, over the next year they kept up with his treatments, baths and medications since he was critically ill. He is now 7 years old happy healthy young guy thanks for Dr. Jaimez and her team. Yes emergencies happy, and yes I have had to wait. If my dog had an emergency I am glad to know they would see him first. That is what they do in an Emergency Room. I have referred over 15 people to this facility who are now long term clients. These clients have since thanked me for the referral and LOVE what 4 Paws offers. I don’t know who said staff turn over, I have known Dr. Jaimez and front desk staff Abby for the past 7 years now. Thank you 4 Paws Animal Hospital!

I had recently taken my little dog; Chiweenie in because he was vomiting. Even though the wait was long; they had said they had 2 emergencies come in before my scheduled appointment. I could understand, I did speak with one of the owners and yes it was an emergency involving her puppy and it would need a blood transfusion. There are plenty of fun things to look at and do while you wait. I went and visited with two pretty cats who were in a big cage and checked out the grooming side; where they were offering blueberry facials for $ 5 — WOW! I also bought Chiweenie some greenies to chew on while we waited. The hospital is always clean and well kept and there are always some kind of festive decorations to make you smile –like the Patriotic white Christmas tree that was so beautifully decorated with red, white and blue bows and stars (see pic). The staff and main Vet are nice and they even offered me refreshments while I waited to be seen. Chiweenie is doing great and back to his normal happy self.

I recently boarded my dog for a few days at 4 Paws Animal Hospital. I was a little skeptical because in the past had not heard good things about this place. However, I had no issues. They took good care of her, they were really nice and answered my questions when I called to check up on her and before I went to pick her up, they gave her a complimentary bath! The price was also very reasonable even though she had to get three shots prior to being boarded. There were also no issues as far as getting my dog’s things back, for example her leash, blanket, toy, and food. I recommend this place and I would comfortably leave my dog again knowing she’s in good hands.

I will no longer be taking my 4 pets to 4 Paws Animal Hospital. My family (meaning parents, aunt, grandma, and brother) have been taking our pets there since they pretty much opened and never had any problems. Recently the main doctor has been gone a lot of they’re hiring a lot of new staff and the problems keep happening more often. For myself, it started a little over a year ago when I rescued my poodle from the streets and took him in to get checked. We rescue animals all the time and take them there. We don’t care what the cost is, we just want our animals to be healthy. So I took him in to get checked completely and they said he was perfectly fine, updated his shots and that was that. I noticed he had very bad breath and although I get his teeth brushed every time I get him groomed, the odor was still there. I inquired about it and they said his teeth were fine. But every time I would ask when I was there, I’d wait over an hour to see someone, they’d walk in, say hi, open his mouth and that was that. I FINALLY got someone I’ve never seen before to check his teeth and he got an attitude with ME and said he had serious tartar build up that needed to be cleaned by putting him under anesthesia. I don’t have a problem with that, but the fact that I’ve been asking for over a year and no one really ever looked at my dog and when they finally do I get attitude for it? Yeah no. THEN I finally got an appointment to get my dachshund spayed after trying for too long and (my co worker was sitting next to me and heard me schedule the appointment) I take her in bright and early while on the clock at work and they say I wasn’t scheduled and there were 3 surgeries that day already. So I ask when they might be able to get to her and I got Thursday (mind you I was there on Monday). Because yet again the doctor wasn’t in the next day and they’re close on Wednesdays. I’m sorry but maybe you need that extra day to be open to take care of your loyal (not anymore) customers. And they even wanted me to leave her there the entire week until Thursday. Why am I going to pay you an arm and a leg for boarding for your mistake 4 Paws? So I took my dog with me back to work and called Pet Medical Center of San Antonio at 7811 Mainland Dr, San Antonio, TX 78 250 (210) 681‑8333 which fit me in the very next day (they had openings the same day but of course I needed to get back to work). Now I have taken her to 4 Paws right after I got her and keep up with her appointments where they also «check her teeth». But when I took her to get fixed, I was shown that her baby teeth were still in and were not going to fall out on their own so they needed to be pulled. They took care of her very well unlike 4 Paws and it was actually cheaper to get her spayed there. If you continue to take your pets here, please make sure they actually check your pets thoroughly but I honestly would not trust them. Sad to say after many years of good service, I will not be returning there.

i don’t want to give them a terrible review. BUT i’ve never had a pleasant experience. maybe it’s just me but i do appreciate good service and everytime i’ve walked into the clinic i’ve had to wait to be helped. which isn’t the problem. however i feel even if the receptionist is on the phone they see that i am there and a simple acknowledgment would go very far. i don’t know if she was talking to a client or a friend. Beyond that
My mother always goes to this clinic because they are the only nearest one. She will no longer go there because recently she brought in two stray kittens. She was told the wrong dosage amount and as a result the kittens died terrible convulsive deaths. those are mistakes that should never happen. I’ve never liked this place and i am glad my mother will no longer take her pets there.

I will always be grateful to Dr. Jamiez for being the only vet to have gone through the work to ensure my previous dog was properly diagnosed. Here they are effective and caring. Your loved one will be kindly treated. I will drive however far I need to to bring mine here. They even have a nice pet grooming & shop in the same place Metropawlitan.
