Services
We at Cochise Animal Hospital are proud to serve the Scottsdale, Arizona and the surrounding areas. We treat every patient with the same loving attention and care that we would for our own pets. With over 37 years of experience, we pride ourselves in providing the best care possible for our clients and their pets.
I've taken my multipoo (her name is Puppy) to multiple vets for stomach related issues and zero answers. Dr. Thomasson immediately was able to detect a tumor in her abdomen. If not for that visit we would have no idea she has an orange-sized tumor that needs to be removed with her spleen. I have always remained with my pet while procedures are performed.

We have been bringing our pets here for a very long time, and usually things are pretty good. The doctor is carrying, but sometimes his inability to fit a regular client in for an appointment is very hit-or-miss, even in times of need when a pet is experiencing a very urgent issue.
Part of the benefit of going to a small locally owned veterinarian is the customer service. Yet it is lacking lately, especially from his front office staff. He should put hidden cameras or secret shoppers into the business, so he can better understand what is really happening when he is not paying attention.

The female employees Jessika and Autumn made the visit very comforting. They made me feel like that old fashioned family vet visit. It was very refreshing to see young ladies with such heart. The Dr, was very kind. I felt she took the time to listen with that comforting attitude despite all of us that were in a hurry. Dr. T is one of the few that still puts the patients first over finance. It's unfortunate that sometimes companies feel money is more important than service. Not Dr. T! We are blessed to have such a wonderful Doctor.

So, my friend had been taking her dog to this place and was fairly pleased with the DOCTOR, Thomasson, the office staff on the other hand...
So anyway, my friend took her dog there and on an earlier visit, about a month before, explained TO THE DOCTOR that her dog had anxiety riding in the car, the doctor said to bring her dog back about a week or so before they go on vacation and he would give her something for the dog to take to ease the anxiety.
So, she went back to have her dogs nails trimmed, and mentioned at the time of making the appointment that she would need to get the meds or whatever

My dog suffers from allergies. Dr Thomasson was treating her with monthly injections of Cytopoint which worked beautifully for her. Since we are spending the summer away, the vet in CA will only prescribe pills. I requested that he provides my dog with the same treatment she was getting in AZ. I called Cochise Animal Hospital and they are sending all our records to the reluctant vet in CA.
We miss Dr. Thomasson and his staff!

After a disappointing experience with a different vet, tried Cochise Animal Hospital for a Saturday appointment. What a difference!! The nurses and the doctor were kind and patient. This is our first puppy and our family had many questions. The doctor was happy to answer them all and give us tips to raise a healthy puppy. Thank you Autumn, the rest of the staff and wonderful doctor!!

Dr Thomasson looks after all our pups including our rescues. He's compassionate, knowledgeable and goes above and beyond what other vets do. His staff are wonderful and they are always there to help us when we need. He's so gentle and patient with our difficult pups and has a wealth of knowledge.
He can't recommend him enough and we are so thankful for everything he does for our pups and us.

So grateful for all of you. They made my little chiauaua Kiki all better. I was worried sick for about 5 days about her(even took her to a different vet 3 days earlier who charged me 150$ for saying I needed to spend another 1000$ to see what was wrong with her. ) anyways they treated her so well and were so great, explained everything. She is all back to normal now. Thank you so so much. If I ever need anything related to my dogs again, I will not even hesitate.... I'm coming here.

My sweet 3 month old puppy started to look depressed and had a rapid decrease in energy while developing a fever. I found a Groupon for Cochise and immediately gave them a call. They were able to fit me in within an hour to be seen before doctor went into surgery! I was in the middle of a phone meeting & my husband was also tied up with work and the staff examined my baby even though I was super busy. Doctor took the time to explain to me what was going on once I was done with the meeting. Had fluids administered for a great price and received excellent care. They sent us home with a few directions

Penny loved coming here to get checked out! She had been having some stomach problems for about a week and they fixed her right up at Cochise Animal Hospital! She's already feeling better after a couple days of medication and a change of her food. The staff was great, everyone that we worked with seemed very compassionate and caring. They were also able to get us in the same day that I called in which was a big relief. Dr Thomasson was great with Penny I couldn't have felt more comfortable with his interactions with her. This was a great experience and I will definitely bring Penny back

We have brought our dogs to Dr. Thomasson for nearly 10 years now and we just love this guy. He is very caring and gentle with the animals and he is balanced In the way he diagnoses and helps you understand your treatment options.
The people there are also top notch.
If you are looking for a caring veterinarian who you can really count on, I'd highly recommend this Vet and Cochise Animal Hospital.

HORRIBLE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. A simple procedure of what was suppose to be my boy getting just Neutered was botched due to this vet's inability to double check his surgery which led to another emergency surgery to fix what should have been done correctly the first time. I'm sure the Dr. is good at what he does but please spend a little more time on your work and not on the almighty $$ to get to the next patient quickly.

Great Vet and Staff, caring and conscientious!
Not only are they great for regular visits, vaccinations, and common issues, I have personally referred several friends who had issues like their regular vet was not able to diagnose the issue, or diagnosis that was very

With one visit, Dr Thomasson was able to make the diagnosis and cured long standing issue in a matter of two visits.

Zoe and I love the Cochise Animal Hospital. The vet is super friendly and the staff is helpful and kind. Zoe has been in for allergies and for a horrible cough both of which were easily treated. The atmosphere and energy of the hospital is gentle and has you feeling at ease. If you don't have a vet or are in need of a new one...check out the Cochise Animal Hospital

The one place where the doctors truly care about your furry children at THE most affordable price. I had sent out quotes to about 8 different places and Cochise really beat everyone else out by a lot! I had to get a Rabies Titer for my pup and I was getting quotes from $220-$500! But doc here only charges $120+shipping. Shipping was about $65 but that was only after Doc Thomasson personally called around asked for a cheaper price because their regular FedEx was charging $125. He went above and beyond.
Lastly, my puppers cries easily when in pain, but in between a blood draw and microchip, she

Sweet friendly patient care. I took my mini Aussie here who gets excited easily for two vaccines. He was really anxious but the vet was able to get him to heel through some kind of pinch that I've never seen before as he wouldn't stay still. Within 15 minutes his exam and two shots were done and he educated me on other shots available. Left feeling I was visiting a helpful friend. I'll be back again and so will my dog.

I've been living in the Scottsdale area for about a year and have been looking for the best vet for my two year old maltipoo who has a thicker medical record than most pets in their first 10 years of life. Being spoiled at my old vets office I knew how GREAT care can be for the beast...this clinic was my second to take her to and I wish it had been the first.
The staff was friendly, they obviously care about their regular patients (they squeezed one in the same morning I was there), they are friendly and have excellent bedside manner! I saw the relief vet on the Saturday I took Stella for
