Arkansas-Browning Animal Clinic

I came across this animal clinic online because they had some online discount specials. I recently adopted a cat at that time and I wanted to get a routine check up for him to make sure he was A-​OKAY. The discount specials were for getting a microchip for I think $ 30 and a routine checkup for free for first time visitors. I guess with these kind of promotions this location was hungry for business. When I got there it was clean inside and the backroom was standard. When my cat was getting microchipped they used a spray bottle and sprayed him before putting the big needle with the chip in him. I do not know what was in the bottle but I didn’t know how sanitary it was. The vet came in after the microchip and did a 5 second check up on my cat. The issue I had with the vet is I didn’t think he was thorough. It looked like he had a bad hand and I think that prevented him from doing his job properly. I guess I should have known better than to come here if they were promoting discounts to get business in. My cat is okay so that’s all that matters.

Nice staff. Dr took the time to educate us on our dogs’ health and options for supplements/​food/​meds as they aged (both have arthritis, one with advancing hip dysplasia). Blood test for one dog was quite expensive and was required first to be able to start her on an anti-​inflammatory medication. But, the vaccine cost with the online coupon is the same price as the «low cost» pet vaccine clinic they have at The Dog Wash every Sunday — without waiting in that long line! The exam Room was small though — and with 2 big labradors, it felt really cramped. But, all in all– we will keep going back here with our dogs!

Took my year-​old pit rescue here when he broke out in hives all over his body one morning. I searched Unilocal and called to see if they take walk ins. They told me to come right away so I did. We arrived at 11am. My dog is anxious around some new people, but he happily greeted another dog owner and vet tech in the waiting room. When we got to the exam room he was cornered by two techs and he growled. They made me muzzle him and put him on the take myself then laid into me about getting him trained and socialized. Something I have been doing in the short time I’ve had him. These two techs were very rude not listening to me, afraid to touch my muzzled dog, not taking any time at all to greet my dog or make him comfortable. I would have left right then if it wasn’t for the hives. Later my dog was sitting on the exam table trembling and they wanted him to lay down, so the tech pulled his leash, squatting on the ground to pull his neck down. I stepped in and asked if I could help. The tech literally told me that they had other things to do and didn’t have time for me to get in their way. I told her to shut up and told my dog to lay down and he did. This is why I will never be back.
The vet we saw, on the other hand, was excellent. Don’t remember his name but he’s an older man with white hair. He thoroughly looked my dog over and administered steroids to bring the hives down. He took time to answer my questions about dog allergies and what to do in the future. He referred me to an allergist but following his advice we haven’t had bad allergy problems. He never rushed me and was very helpful. I paid and when we walked out without a muzzle the vet was leaving for lunch. He walked up intimidated and let my dog sniff him and lick his hand, telling me my puppy will come around to meeting new people. Can’t believe such a great vet would have such rude, immature techs working for him.

My 4 month old pitbull pup has parvo and hook worms. They took $ 48 off the office visit the first time I went and had him checked out. They offered me two options whether to keep him there or take him home on meds. I opted for the take home because he was in the early stage (thank god!)
They often call me just to see how my puppy is doing and is very involved outside the clinic! The staff is great and truly caring. He’s now on a great recovery to good health. Thank you for saving my dog!

This clinic offered $ 85 cat spaying. It sounded like a great deal. I took my 8 m.o. kitten, who has never been outside and and has Never, never, ever been around a male cat, to be spayed. The clinic added $ 40 fee because they CLAIMED she was pregnant! The Staff Was Incredibly Rude (and in my face) when I Advised Them That Was Impossible! I guess I should have named my cat Mary rather than Molly! Holy babies! I researched them after that and found put that mine is not the only immacate, virginal birth that this clinic has encountered. Many other complaints exist!!! BE WARNED! What a rip off! I am just happy my baby kitty is ok!

I really like these guys. I’ve taken my kitten to get neutered and my dog is there getting spayed now. I’ll continue going here for my babies because I trust this crew to take care of them.

Thank you for everything over the past three years. You gave me and my sweet Buddie extra time together before we meet again in heaven. Your clinic made the last week’s of Buddie’s life for me easier. I can’t thank YOU ALL enough. I truly love you all! I will never forget your kindness and compassion.
