Danforth Animal Hospital began in 1981 as the "Downtown Animal Clinic, " in a little red brick building at the corner of 3rd and Broadway in Edmond. The staff consisted of Dr. Ron Laughlin and his wife Nancy. By 1986 the practice had outgrown that small building and was moved to the current location at the corner of Danforth and Chowning. To better meet the needs of our clients and their pets, the new building was designed and constructed specifically as a veterinary hospital. It received a National Merit Award from the Veterinary Economics Magazine hospital design competition in 1987.

I've used them for years & have found them reliable. What's marring this review and sending me in search of vet care elsewhere was my most recent visit. My vet (who will remain anonymous) informed me my cat needed a dental procedure. Being the good pet parent I am, I wanted to handle this promptly so called back trying to schedule this. I was informed they could not do a dental until September (two months from now!).
I am a physician practicing in a group with another MD and 4 CRNAs where call and daily assignments are shared, but nothing is set two months hence, so any date I might schedule I would likely be unavailable! I had vacation the current week and a forward week in early August. Given a window of two full weeks and complete availability at any time in the day, they could not / would not give me a time! So, they told me a procedure was needed, then caused ME angst by making sure I couldn't schedule it for months if ever.
I explained this situation to them, but got no satisfactory accommodation. That's like inviting a guest to smoke in a room with no ash trays and where the windows are nailed shut! I don't appreciate being put in that position and frankly it makes me furious. So, I contacted another very highly rated vet closer to my house (again to remain nameless), established a relationship for my cat & scheduled the procedure. Atrocious treatment by a vet with a multi-year relationship at Danforth. If I like the other vet, I'll take this cat & my other two there in the future.

We have been going to this veterinary hospital for the last year with our two senior dogs. One of which requires a lot of complex diagnostic help. I have been very impressed with all of the vets and staff's professionalism and compassion. They are also adhering to social distancing protocol that is appreciated. I feel comfortable saying that I highly recommend them and would trust them to have my dog's best interest at heart.

The doctors here are amazing! They treat your animals with utmost respect and top notch care. They were able to save my cat from a deadly disease by enrolling him in an experimental treatment trial to access the best possible medicine. The doctors and staff go that extra mile to keep your pet happy and healthy!

I've lived a lot of places throughout the USA and have had many pets in my lifetime. That being said, I've had the opportunity to see many veterinarians. Up until now, I've been very happy with the vet care I've received. Have been to this office two times for annual check up and shots. The front staff is cold and very unfriendly. Maybe they think that they're being professional but it would be nice to feel like I'm not an imposition. The vets seem nice.

We really like Danforth Animal Hospital! We have used them for both our cat and our dog for the last year. The vets are experienced and the staff is friendly. They are also really good about working us in last minute if needed. We love that they have Saturday hours as well since we work Monday through Friday. I highly recommend Danforth Animal Hospital!

Sadly we had to take one of our cats in for an operation. Luckly Dr. Woods got our cat all fixed up. She took the extra time the following day to call me and ask how She was doing. And it's small kind and thoughtful acts like this that makes us feel completely safe to leave out fur baby's in their care when needed. These people are awesome and we can't thank you all and Dr. Woods enough. Myla says thanks also.

I'm am beyond impressed with this animal hospital! Our first visit, Dr Adam was not only thorough with his explanations, but seemed to genuinely care about our pup. His recommendations were appropriate and the least costly route. What I am most grateful for, is that recently our little guy had an immediate life threatening reaction after a vaccine. within minutes they had him hooked up to an IV and giving him the meds he needed.
These things can happen with older dogs and I'm so thankful that he was with a competent doctor and staff! My daughter was in charge of the whole situation as I am out of state, and again they didn't take advantage of her pocketbook during a crisis- which I've had happen before. I loooooove this place and recommend them to anyone who's pet is a part of their family. Thank you guys!

We love the staff at Danforth Animal Hospital.and so does our girl. While the everyone is top notch, we see Dr. Adam Laughlin and I can't tell you how good he is with her. We had a late afternoon issue once and we called in, they said we'd have to see another doctor as Dr. Laughlin was done for the day. When we arrived, in he came.he waited for us when he heard we were coming in. Looking to add to our fur baby clan and Dr. Laughlin will be our vet for sure. LOVE this place and their care for their patients and their humans.

We've been using DAH since we got our first dog in 2008. They are kind, clean, and don't charge an arm and a leg for emergency visits. They have excellent dental specialists, and I have liked all the veterinarians and techs we have met. Wonderful care and wonderful service keep us coming back, even though we drive from the opposite side of Edmond.
