The Big Easy Animal Hospital
Dog Daze and Cafe was added which includes doggy daycare, dog boarding, cat condo boarding and grooming. Dog Daze will be adding a dog friendly cafe during the fall 2016. Not only do we provide convenient appointment hours, but we provide walk-in's for our clients who have busy schedules. During our business hours, we have the ability to care for all of your pet's medical needs from routine vaccines to emergency care.

Should a pet need to be transferred to a 24 hour facility, recommendation options will be discussed. A pet can bring a lifetime of joy, love, and treasured memories. With those happy moments also comes a special responsibility to care for the needs of your pet.
Services
A regular exam is just as important for your pet as it is for you. At the BIG EASY Animal Hospital, a thorough physical exam is one of the most important things we can do for your pet. Routine check-ups help our veterinarians get to know your pet; these visits are useful in helping spot potential medical problems before they become serious or life threatening.
Just what is a symptom? A symptom is defined as a physical sign or physical sensation that is evidence a disease is present. Symptoms can guide your veterinarian toward a diagnosis or help your veterinarian decide which tests would be most helpful in your pet. Once a disease is diagnosed, proper treatment can be administered.

Sorry to say whoever is working the front desk should probably seek a different profession outside of customer service. She was so unbelievably rude and shamed me on the phone. I am not upset about the information given, it was the way it was delivered, even after stating I wasn't trying to be combative, she met me with the rudest attitude and ended up shaming me because I haven't brought my pet in in some time. WELL FIRST OFF, I WONT BE COMING BACK, secondly, I have had to outsource to other vets in the meantime because it is very hard to book an appointment (they say they'll call back, and never

I had a pet emergency on New Year's Eve. Since it was a holiday almost every emergency vet was closed and it was so hard to find someone to look at my kitty. Big Easy was more than willing to have us come in and they treated my kitty with such compassion. While the wait was long due to the holiday and half of the normal staff they did a fantastic job. The treated my cat like he had been coming for years. They took the time with us and gave him a through exam and ended up giving him some fluids and medicine. Our cat has bounced back and is doing much better. I can not say enough about how nice the

My dog had a fall over Christmas weekend and started showing symptoms of severe pain in one of her hind legs. While I have a regular vet, Big Easy walk-in seemed a faster and more viable option because of a backstock of holiday weekend visits at our regular vet.
We waited in an exam room for nearly an hour before seeing the vet. At about the half hour mark I asked for a blanket or something soft for my injured dog to rest on as well as a time check, and was told I needed to be more patient as there were actually still 3 animals ahead of me.
When the vet did come in, she informed me that she had

I've taken my pets here since they opened. I love the Big Easy! They're are and have always been great with my pets even my very frightened ones. I have had to go elsewhere due to scheduling issues or specialization needs but there isn't anywhere else in Pittsburgh that I trust more.

They care not to diagnose a pet, even if your pet has serious symptoms. Poor customer service no matter the type of phone call, appointment. Inability to let patients know when their facilities are not equipped to handle pretty much anything vet hospital related. Even before the pandemic, appointments were never on time. I gave this place a chance for 2 years since we are neighbors due to a referral, but now my dog is dead too early since the vets I interacted with across months and years just would not try to be a real doctor. Do not take your pets here if you want them to be healthy. I wouldn’t

The past year has been difficult on the scheduling, but the staff has always been as helpful as they can be and very kind to me everytime I brought my dog in. I have been going for years now, right up until I had to put my pet down a few weeks ago. Dr. Ruiz remembered my pet and her medical issues and provided me the best care available and I'm forever grateful of the many years of service from them. Thank you

Critical: Quality, Reliability
They used to be a great place until they moved. They didn’t fax my pet’s medical records over, even though they told me they did.
I had to almost argue with the vet, to get my pet properly checked out and diagnosed.

Everyone there was great. My dog had a seizure, & they saw Roman right away. They did a perfect job of explaining everything. Definitely the most pleasurable experience I've ever had at a animal hospital. I highly recommend using them.

Really bad experience here with the big easy. Came here because a coworker recommended it but I guess they’ve changed a lot. Your very first visit you must line up super early to get a place in line, it’s not guaranteed your pet will be seen. Then you need to wait minimum 3 hours after lining up all morning for your pet to be seen. Super weird experience. On top of that my dog got his initial check up with them when we first adopted him and they didn’t even take a stool sample.. We had to go back and do the whole 3hr waiting process again because it was an emergency. Could have been prevented

I have been going to the Big Easy since 2013 and up until recently I found out much I am valued as a customer. We would be there every couple of months - 4 - 5 times a year - each time I had taken my baby there always was pleasant experience and she received excellent care. I recently had to say good-bye to my fur-baby the early part of June. I recently decided to adopted another puppy and needed to get her checked out - dewormed and shots the whole bit.... I called to make an appointment, and was told that they are not taking any new customers. I was told that they are accepting walk-ins from
