We took a dog we found in the woods there. To their credit they agreed to see us, they were the 3rd vet we tried that were willing to see us as nobody else had appts available. The dog was emaciated, 30 lbs under weight, and refusing food. The vet checked him out, said that she felt something hard in his belly, that it might be rocks that he'd eaten to try to stave off hunger. Gave him 6 cans of dog food, a bag of fluids, and a flea and tick chew. They didn't check for heartworm, and they didn't take any films. Found the dog on Friday, saw VCA DeSoto on Friday. Fast forward to Monday, and the dog was still refusing food, and hadn't pooped in the four days we'd had him, so I took him to my vet in Alvarado. They ran films of thorax and abdomen, to check for cancers and the possible "rocks", which helped with our anxiety about why he wasn't eating. Diagnosed him with enlarged prostate (which the VCA DeSoto could have done had they actually examined him), gave us antibiotics and anti-inflammatory, as well as food recommendations to help ease his poops. I feel like the dog suffered for four additional days because the VCA DeSoto vets couldn't be bothered to examine a dog that was dirty and skinned up from being in the woods. Perhaps that's harsh, or judgy, but had we known four days earlier, the dog could have been so much more comfortable and out of pain much more quickly. BTW, the bill from the vet that took the xrays, was the same as VCA DeSoto that didn't. Know where you go.

Staff is nice. However, I brought my kitten here when I first found her and was told she had calicivirus. They prescribed antibiotics. Unfortunately, I didn’t think about it at the time, but antibiotics should not be used for viruses or viral infections. This is a huge disappointment. Also, on her follow up visit it was recommended that she get several vaccinations including a respiratory one. So I agreed only to the respiratory vaccine. Recently brought her to another vet, and come to find out, she shouldn’t have gotten any vaccines yet because she was still recovering from the virus! Seems their main concern here is upselling.

My kitten died and I fully believe it's because I brought it to this location. I would not recommend this place to anyone.My kitten ate a flower and we were concerned. Took her to VCA Desoto, her regular vet. They suggested a IV to flush out the possible toxins. We agreed and left her overnight. When we returned to retrieve Donnie, they behaved peculiarly, claiming they couldn't find someone to take Donnie's IV out even though they'd told us to arrive at this time for this to take place. After a forty minute wait, we were given our kitten, told to take the bandage off her leg after fifteen minutes, and that all should be well.It was not. By the next morning, Donnie was lathergic and her leg was swollen. We immediately went back to VCA, where they tried very hard to convince us ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE OBVIOUS SWOLLEN WOUND was the problem. Donnie was breathing heavily and had a fever.They implied it was our fault for our carrier and or car. It was not. She had an infection from the wound.This took awhile for them to figure out. Desiraye Paredes was the vet we spoke with at this time. She seemed very nervous and kept making reference that she sure hoped this hadn't happened at their facility (I am fully convinced she incurred the infection at their facility.700 more dollars later, we were given antibotics and pain meds. When she returned to the vet four days later, Donnie had stopped eating that morning. Her breathing wasn't great. At the vet they were clearly concerned.The vet who dealt with Donnie this time, Dr. Curry, pushed down on the pus in her IV wound, watched it seep, and remarked, "That's satisfying."I hope it was for her. That pain she cause Donnie would be one of the last things that she felt. Necessary, I know, but her comment feels cruel in retrospect.After this, they took Donnie back for tests. Back there she panicked and passed away.Had we not gone to VCA Desoto, I do not believe that Donnie would have gotten an infection. Had I listened to my gut and not returned there that final time, I even believe that could be the case.Don't hit me with that stupid, "I'm sorry to hear that, please contact our" cause believe me, you doh't wanna hear from me.Don't bring your pets here. I wish I hadn't. Donnie Darko deserved so much better.

I brought in my dog 2 times in one week for his shots and they made us wait for about an hour on both days or more, and we were supposed to be the 3 person that gets attended and several cars came and left while we was waiting in the car. And they didn’t even end up giving him his shots cause they made us reschedule. NOT RECOMMENDED! They discriminate his race cause he barked and immediately wanted us to give him pills to calm him down and still ended up not doing anything.

Our dog had a life threatening tail injury, and I had a hard time getting anyone to check her out because they were booked or she was too big. VCA saw her the next day. Her tail required amputation and Dr. Stubbs and the staff did a great job with the surgery. The staff called to check in with us after the surgery, and they were upfront with all the costs. I would highly recommend this vet.
