Elma Pet Clinic

Great people and excellent doctor! We have brought our dogs and cats to Brian for 19 years. Never a issue. Never a problem.

All around great experience for Henri (miniature Schnauzer) and me (human). So glad Henri met Dr. Dowling.

So glad to have been able to bring my pets here since 2009. Thank you Elma Pet Clinic.

I went there to pick up my Cockatiel that had got out of his cage. My bird flew in the window of someone's R.V. @ Elma R.V. Park and that person captured my bird and took him to Elma Pet Clinic. Through social media I was informed someone had taken my bird there.

At first I thought this place had my dog's interest at heart but after numerous times being told "there's nothing we can do/give him to relive [fill-in-the-blank] issue, other than what you're already doing", I've hit my wall with this clinic. I have friends who have suggested I ask my vet for that specific medication/procedure and even then, it seems like this vet is clueless and apathetic towards any issue I brought forward. I have since decided to transfer to another vet. My dog and I deserve to at least be heard and given options when options are available.
The prices as many have said are

This clinic provided excellent and sensitive care for my best friend all throughout the most difficult year of his life. They helped our family spend an extra year with him and I'll be forever grateful for the months of memories.

Worst Vet EVER... I used to take my pets to Dr. Dowling til he missdiagnosed my little dogs teeth issues with a stomach problem, prolonging his suffering and putting his life in jeopardy. Then again he missdiagnosed my cat and almost killed him. Terrible vet

Dr. Dowling and his team are FANTASTIC. Our sweet cat was hit by a car over the weekend when Elma Pet Clinic was closed; the emergency vet hospital quoted us $3600 to amputate her leg. We decided to wait it out until Monday, when we could get her into see Dr. Dowling. His gentle approach to our cat, and his VERY REASONABLE costs, assured that we can get our cat's surgery completed. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I took my one year old husky to the vet for an ear infection. She doesn't like things in her ears so I recommended using a muzzle. My husky is dramatic so she talked a lot, tried to get her muzzle off, and struggled to sit still when we got close to her ear with the medicine. When she moved the vet grabbed her by her cheek fur and told her no. He did this twice. The third time she moved he grabbed her and shook her. She reacted by screaming and peeing herself. During this time of him shaking her, I told him to let her go about 4 times before he finally did. I told him to never do that again

Very reasonably priced for teeth cleaning and spaying. Take all our dogs there. Receptionist nice and efficient. Everyone that works there is awesome.

Wonderful people. I drive 2 hours to have my pets cared for, there that good.

I have never had any problems with records not being transferred to other clinics, mine have been done the same day. They are closed on Wednesdays, so maybe that was the problem the other reviewer faced. This vet is my kind of vet. He is really friendly and gets the job done. No extra this or that, you take them in and he fixes it. He doesn't suggest that you spend tons of money for other things and he doesn't make you feel bad if you don't want to run a thousand tests. My animals are very happy to go in every time, and I don't leave feeling like I have to throw $1000.00

I had called Elma Vet to have my dog's pain medication and specialized food for kidney disease faxed over to a Vet Clinic that is near my new home. I called the night before and was assured his records and prescriptions would indeed be faxed over. I have worked all day and planned on picking up my dogs necessary medication and food after work, before a long 4 day weekend (due to the holidays). I have now spent the past 1.5 hours calling Elma's Clinic, desperate to get my dogs medication and food that he desperately needs, only to reach their answering machine, over and over again.

We have had many dogs and cats treated here, and have always received very good care. The staff are friendly and very knowlegable. Would recommend them to all my 4 legged friends! :) Patti Trail
