Veterinarians in Pinetop-Lakeside, AZ

“Getting old is not for the weak of heart and sadly, our sweet little 16 year old Shih Tzu, named Lexie was experiencing the traumas of old age. Her little body was giving out which prompted the consideration of having a veterinarian help her cross over to the Rainbow Bridge. We were referred to Dr. Norris at White Mountain Animal Hospital.
We initially met with an assistant at the clinic who kindly met with me, my wife and our little Lexie. She was very kind and understood the emotional state we were in so she lowered the window blinds for privacy and provided plenty of tissues. At the conclusion of our visit, she excused herself to brief Dr. Norris who sat down with us. She had us explain Lexie’s situation, did an examination on her and concluded we were making the right decision at the right time. She assured us that this difficult decision was being made out of love for our Lexie and the decision was completely ours. She explained the process in detail and assured us that Lexie would not experience any discomfort. She was also willing to come to our home where Lexie felt the most comfortable.
We scheduled a date and were assured that if we needed to modify the date, it was up to us. The day did come and Dr. Norris and her assistant, Mel came to our home. Both of them were very kind, compassionate and very sympathetic to our feelings. I will avoid details but will say the skill and professionalism demonstrated by Dr. Norris and Mel were exemplary. Every step of the process was our decision and our dear Lexie left us in the comfort of my wife’s arms in the most peaceful moment possible.
Experiencing such a devastating loss was heartbreaking but we found solace and comfort with the presence of Dr. Norris. She also assured us that Lexie was ready to leave us as her little body was giving out.
We will be forever thankful for the compassion, skill, expertise and professionalism shared with us that day and we highly recommend the services of White Mountain Animal Hospital.”

“Dr Blum and staff were helpful and expert to address Nippet’s ailments in Lakeside. She is so much better today after spending a night in care. Thanks and great job!”

“I had an emergency with one of my dogs. She had hurt her leg badly. I was afraid she had broken her shoulder. Called the vet I had taken my other dog to, and they said, " we can see her in 4 days." WHAT! My dog has a possible broken shoulder, and I should wait 4 days! I don't think so. I called Blue Ridge, and they got me in immediately. Great place! Thanks again for caring enough to see my injured dog. FYI, it was just bad soft tissue damage she's doing better...”

“Every single person at this Clinic is amazing. You can tell that they actually have love and compassion for animals. They have taken care of my fur babies for years and I will not go to anyone else”
