Animal Hospital Of Melissa
Since 2007, Animal Hospital of Melissa has provided comprehensive veterinary care to pets in Melissa, including emergency vet care, pet boarding, and grooming. We would be honored to be a partner in your pet's healthcare team. It is our mission to provide the highest level of care to your family member, this is the foundation of everything that we do.
Services
Regular nose-to-tail wellness exams, early detection, and age-specific assessments help keep your pet healthy. Many animals are good at hiding signs that something is wrong, so subtle changes in their health or behavior might be overlooked without preventive care. At Animal Hospital of Melissa, our treatment philosophy is aimed at prevention with early diagnosis and treatment.
Early detection using diagnostic testing provides a complete picture of your pet's health, improving outcomes, and providing baseline results. Our staff is committed to helping you get a full picture of your pet's health through laboratory and diagnostic testing. Annual blood testing helps us determine a normal baseline for your pet.
Our experienced veterinary team provides comprehensive medical care, ranging from routine to advanced procedures and treatments. Although we handle the majority of your pet's medical and surgical needs in-house, we occasionally refer patients to veterinary specialists or specialty clinics when advanced training or equipment will be beneficial.
From routine to advanced surgical procedures, our practice offers safe and effective options using state-of-the-art equipment and best practices. At Animal Hospital of Melissa, we understand that you are probably nervous about submitting your pet to any type of surgical procedure.

Our compassionate and caring professionals monitor your pet before, during, and after surgery and take exceptional care to ensure your pet's safety and complete recovery.Spaying or neutering your pet is an important decision for pet owners. Removal of the male or female reproductive organs prevents unwanted pregnancies and reproductive cancers from threatening your pet's life.
Animal Hospital of Melissa provides comprehensive treatment services, hospitalization, and critical care for pet emergencies. Our state-of-the-art animal emergency center is equipped with the latest diagnostic equipment and technologies to help our veterinary experts assess your pet's health. If your pet requires a service that we cannot provide, we'll refer you to an appropriate 24-hour urgent care center.

Five stars are not enough! I would give Animal Hospital of Melissa every star in the sky. Dr. Day is amazing and a true gem. She has cared for our kitties since they were 8 weeks old. We are so blessed to know Dr. Day. The front office and vet techs are top notch and care about every pet parent and fur baby that come through the door. Thank you AHM for taking care of our babies for all these years!!

We have been taking all of our pets to Animal Hospital of Melissa for 10 years, and have always had the best experiences. The staff in amazing, and have always treated us like family. Worth the drive from Prosper to get continued excellent care for our fur babies.

Awesome experience from the moment I called them for an appointment to the time I left! I called short notice for an appointment and they were able to get me in by the end of day. When I arrived they had signs that instructed to call or text when arrived. They texted back immediately and had a room available within 5 minutes of my arrival, exactly aligned with my appointment time! The vet came in quickly and both her and the tech were very personable!! Most importantly, they told me all of my options and got my fur baby taken care of. I will visit them again for sure! Thank you, Animal Hospital

Everyone there is super nice, & very patient, as I always have a million questions about my furbabies, & they’re very informative about whatever procedure or exam my babies are going having that day. I highly recommend this animal hospital to all who have pets!

Everyone was extremely friendly and explained things throughly. The fit me in, even as a new patient and the Dr. called me personally with test results. I had to buy RX food for my dog, and after comparing prices, they were $5 less than every where else, so I really appreciate them not doing a big mark up. I’ll be back.

We absolutely love Animal Hospital of Melissa! We pull in the parking lot and my girls get so excited and can’t get in the door fast enough. They have received the best care from the entire staff for the last 2 1/2 years. We are so grateful for every single staff member. They are all awesome. I can’t recommend them enough!

We would normally give five stars however this time when my wife picked our pups up she had a less than pleasing experience. We love this Vet and the staff but this last experience was far from what we are used to.

Just had my first visit with my cat Teddy. What a great place! Everyone was so friendly and most importantly they were wonderful and loving with my cat! Every person I came in contact with was friendly! Even the ladies working the front desk! Doctor Smith was amazing and super informative. We will definitely be back.

Dr. Day is amazing! Our maltipoo had bladder stones removed recently. We were crazy worried as he is 10 years old. She kept us informed of his progress after surgery and met with us later in the day to… review X-rays and show us what had been removed. She was engaged and extremely knowledgeable and has a genuine care for her little patients and their well being! The staff involved in the office are top notch as well! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone!

First week of April I notice a lump on my dog's head. Asked to have it removed and first available appointment was a week later. The growth had doubled. Came in and paid for an unsuccessful biopsy. They told me to have it surgically removed "asap" which was May 18 - another 5 weeks out. One week later I called them again asking if it could be moved up because the growth had doubled in size again. Told no. One week later called again asking to have move up because it had again doubled, was now cracked and bleeding. Again, told no. In desperation called my old vet and drove an hour

I have given them chance after chance..but today was the absolute last straw. I waited 15 mins just for someone to answer the phone..15 past my appt time..and was charged $26.79 for a nail trim ONLY. The last several appts..which were for nail trims only..I have ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS had to wait 20-30 mins past my appt time..and only paid $18 for a nail trim (which is higher than anyone else but convenient)..$26.79 for nail trim is highway robbery and them some...It makes me sad, but I'll be going elsewhere..convenient or not

Everyone was very nice. The doctor was awesome. They did not try to get me to buy more then what I needed. Very clean. Doctor gave me advice and what to look out for when I go out of town.

Great, local, fairly priced place to get top notch animal care. So my favorite story to share- my fur baby was getting particularly sick- rather than stringing me along with tests or trial and error medicine, I was referred to a clinic that had better ability to test and analyze my pets problems. It's telling when a place knows their limits and refers you elsewhere for the best care. I certainly appreciated it!

I love this place, they take care of their family and that's the way I feel when I'm there. I'm so thankful for the letter they just sent me, putting my little guy down was hard and they made it easy and then this letter shows that they care, it's hand signed which means even more

This is a really great place to take your fur babies. We see Dr. Day, she is very nice and very thorough. She takes the time needed to explain things and answers any questions you have. My cat and my dog both see her. I am also nursing a kitty that was hit by a car back to health and she has proven to know her stuff when it comes to him as well!!

I would highly recommend this animal hospital.

We had a wonderful first experience at the Animal Hospital of Melissa. They were very friendly and patient with our pup. They were thorough and explained everything to us. They were not condescending. We will definitely keep them as a vet.
