All Animal Hospital

I absolutely L-O-V-E the vets and staff at All Animal Hospital in Tupelo, MS!!! I fired my OTHER vet who misdiagnosed my pets several times, was a terrible listener, and had terrible bed-side manners like yelling at my other dog and me. I don't know why I continued to use my previous clinic... I guess it was just habit.\r \r Anyway, Dr. Bryan and Dr. Ganas were actually referred to me by another vet when my rescue Shar-Pei couldn't quit vomiting (even prescription ""sensitive stomach"" dog food). These two, young female vets seem to be very knowledgeable about current veterinary medicine practices, problems unique to each breed, and are excellent listeners. They have an amazing rapport with each other that is also fun to watch. I think that they went to vet school together but it seems like they've been best friends for ages. They are both easy to talk to and compassionate. Best of all, THEY LISTEN!!\r \r Dr. Bryan ran simple, inexpensive blood and urine tests and found that his kidneys were failing. Dr. Bryan told me that my dog was in kidney failure but without further testing, couldn't be sure if it was acute or chronic. The fact that he had eaten some vomit off the parking lot the day he had gotten sick made me think he had swallowed the result of some loser's booze and pill-filled stomach rejection. I didn't see what he ate, but if it was something toxic, his kidney failure could maybe be reversed.\r \r Anyway, the best dog I've ever had stayed in their hospital two days and was, at their recommendation, transferred to a specialist's hospital in Cordova, TN where he stayed for two days. It was found that he had chronic kidney failure and that there was no chance for survival. I brought him home and let him visit all his favorite people and places, took pictures, let him eat treats, and we had about 20 more hours together. Dr. Ganas and LeighAnn, one of her very knowledgeable staff, were there with me when he was put to sleep. They got down on the floor with me and my dog and were exceptionally kind and compassionate. \r \r The average life-span of a Chinese Shar Pei is about only eight years. Some of them, because of irresponsible breeders, can have problems such as hereditary fevers, kidney problems, and skin problems unique to the breed. Many have eye Entropion and require costly surgery to correct this condition.\r \r I now take my new puppy to All Animal Hospital. She came with quite a few illnesses to overcome, so we've been to the clinic a lot. I'd recommend this clinic to everyone. more

Dr Kimberly Kelly is absolutely the best vet and friend ever!! She has taken care of my furry 4 legged babies for many years and will continue to. I highly recommend her to anyone that loves their furry pets/babies. My kitties have never been happier with a vet. Cheri more

We knew he was sick- but we didn't know our eleven year-old Boston Terrier was dying, It was the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. Tthe first answer to prayer was when the friendly voice on the phone said, ""Bring him in!"" There was something in her eyes that told me God had led us to this place, where this doctor was on call, on this particular day. There was comfort in her voice when she told us the sad news. Barney had diabetes- and probably for some time, and his kidneys were shutting down. For all her caring, Dr. Bryan was firm when she laid out our options- either commit to following her plan of diabetic maintenance IF he responded to treatment, or put him down right then, My husband and I looked at each other with tears close to overflowing. There was only one thing to do. He made it through one night, then the next , with Dr. Bryan calling daily with reports showing slight improvement, though he wasn't 'out of the woods yet."" . We picked Tuesday to visit him. He was somewhat alert she had told us on Monday morning, so we were going to take his favorite blanket and toy so he wouldn't feel so alone in an unfamiliar place. God had different plans, Dr. Bryan called Tuesday morning to say we could take Barney home on a trial basis. First she would school us in giving insulin injections and outline his new dietary requirements. The port for the drips was left in his leg in case we had to bring him back- otherwise we would bring him in for a follow-up on Thursday, when she would remove it. We didn't have to make an emergency run, and Thursday we took him for the scheduled follow-up. When we picked him up a couple of hours later, there were happy tears all around to hear that his glucose level was lower than it had been yet, and both kidneys were functioning at 100%. Barney's still somewhat confused. He's been nearly blind in both eyes for some time now- cataracts. But it appears that while he was so sick, he lost what little vision he had, so he's still 'exploring' what was so familiar to him just last week. The important thing is that we are still singing God's praises for giving us more time with our little one, and leading us to the one who He'd appointed to carry out this miracle. So thank you Dr. Bryan for working through Memorial Day weekend to check on Barney- not to mention those 'middle-of-the-night"" visits you made as the crisis was peaking. And thanks to all the staff who just naturally have the touch of love and caring as they carry out their hands-on duties. I know- because I've seen it with my own eyes. more

I took my dog, which is an inside dog, there b/c he had been acting sick and very weak. I was told that they would run some test on him (fecal samples, blood work...etc.) and find out what was wrong w/ him. Well, after I dropped my dog off they called me saying that he needed a trim and so I followed their suggestion and gave the go ahead. Later that afternoon I went back and the they told me that his test all came back ok and he was probably sick b/c of the weather change and said I should consider changing his food to something more stomach sensitive so, I pay them and head back home. On the way I stop by Petsmart and buy some gastro-friendly food. Well after about 2 days of following the vets recommendations and seeing no improvement, actually it was worsening, I decided to give another veterinarian a try. Long story short, they ran some test on him and found out that he was badly sick with worms and that his blood sugar was sky high. They had to keep him for 3 days until he got better and used to his insulin. I called All Animal and tried to get my money back but that was to no avail. Just a warning.....don't waste your money OR your animal's health there! Pros: hmmmm.... Cons: Everything more

Have been to this clinic on 3 occasions and all 3 times had an extremely long wait. Two times I had an appointment and still had to wait. I found the reception staff very rude and uncaring and everyone seemed unorganized. When picking up my pets, I didn't even get to see or even talk to a doctor. Also the prices area little on the higher side compared to the surrounding clinics. more

We have had to take two pets to them in an emergency situations after hours. The vets were very friendly and knowledgeable. They are very concerned about the animals and will answer any question you have. We had an animal that had to stay over the weekend and they are not open to the public on Sundays - my husband drove by and saw someone was there taking care of the animals - he stopped in to check on our kitty and they let him in and gave him a full update. They even called me at our home to ease my concern and worries. Top notch caring people and we like them so much we are now moving all our animals from our old vet to them. Highly recommended to all! more

All Animal Hospital is a great place to take your pets. The staff and doctors are really friendly and they treat you animal like it is one of theirs. You can really tell that everyone who works there has a love and compassion for animals. We have used this clinic for many years. Currently we have three cats that we take to the clinic on a regular basis. The doctors are always very gentle with them which helps easy the cats. Our animals have also had overnight stays in the past and they really took great care of them. My children always like going to the vet because they have some "house" cats that roam around and they also have a huge parrot in the waiting room. Most of the time we see the same vet but we have seen some of the other ones. I have recommend this clinic to family and friends and they love it as much as we do. more

I just found out that one of the other Dr's there, Kelly Kirkpatrick left to start her own clinic (she was the reason I started taking my dog there) Since starting her own clinic, the staff there has been making appointments for her but not telling people where she has gone when you take you pet to "see" her. PROS: Does provide good care CONS: Has questionable ethics more

All Animal Hospital is a wonderful place. They are kind and really do care for your animals as well as you. They understand the bond that forms between people and there pets and encourage it. We have had to take several animals to them to be cared for and have always been 100% happy when leaving. Our oldest dog hates going to the vet and he does not even mind when we take him there, they are so good to him. more
