We believe that a good quality of life does not simply translate to good health, but that a strong bond between pets and their family members is essential to the lives of both. This is why we strive to protect and nurture the human-animal bond, doing all we can to ensure that pets truly are family, too. Because of the significance of this bond, we place great emphasis on education and involvement. Enjoying activities together such as strolls to the park, hikes along our desert trails, taking a training class, or simply meeting up with friends at the dog park can provide wonderful opportunities to encourage good health, develop discipline, and create life-long friendships (for the entire family!).

They absolutely Are wonderful. When my boxer hayle was sick. She came (dr vigil smith) to my home to check on her several times She absolutely rocks. When my baby Carmella got sick with first signs parvo they squeezed me in) since dr vigil smith was not there they knew I had been there and saw my baby. They treated me just like she would. No DOUBT in my mind that she chose vets that had the kindness and love for animals as she does Thank you desert hills animal clinic. Rose Serrano and carmella. YOU ROCK

Desert Hills was recommended to us by numerous people when we needed a vet, and rightly so. From the first phone call to our latest appointment we have had nothing but good experiences. The ENTIRE staff is amazing and helpful. They were so patient with our semi feral cats (and us) who were terrified of everything. These are people who care about animals.and people too! Thanks for the great service, Desert Hills!

Very friendly staff, and attentive to the needs of your new or existing family member. New location is much more spacious and can handle more clients. They ask lots of questions and ensure that you have all of your questions answered about anything that could concern you about your family member. Generally can find close appointments even if it is more last minute. I have taken 4 different family dogs here for various reasons and it has gone well.

My dog had an eye infection, and our regular vet couldn't fit her in. I didn't want to have to take her to an emergency vet, but I couldn't wait. This place was willing to see her that day. They did a great job. It was $109 for everything, including being seen, plus a special eye exam with a florescent light (which apparently took three vet techs to hold her still for), plus antibiotic eye drops, which is a pretty good deal. Vet care is expensive.
On top of that, they cleaned her ears and cut her nails for free. Most other vets will nickel and dime you for those services. Another place charged $35 just for an ear cleaning, on top of the cost of being seen. Desert Hills did great. My dog got better fast, and the prices were extremely reasonable.

This is the worst animal clinic in the city. DO NOT go here! The prescribed my dog the wrong medication before even running any tests. When they ran the tests they called me to tell me the medication they gave me would not work but the only way for me to get the correct medication was to go back into the clinic and get him checked out again.which of course would cost another $150. They are only in it for the money. They do not care about your pet at all.

The staff and vet who took care of my pet were great! Everyone was very helpful and friendly. It was definitely a great experience. They took care of all the first time vaccinations for my puppy and it wasn't too expensive. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent veterinary care.

The best of the best. The staff takes care of and treats the patients (pets) as if they were their own. I entrusted two dogs to their care. One elderly for teeth extractions and one for emergency surgery. Both received professional care with lots of love. I highly recommend Desert Hills for all of your pets needs.
