I generally take my animals to Blue Cross Animal Clinic on Carlisle, where they see Dr. Wheeler as their regular vet. When we have an emergency or Blue Cross just can't see the animals in a reasonable time we go to Petroglyph, which is WAY on the other side of town from where we live, but absolutely worth the trip. They are quite possibly the most honest, down-to-earth animal hospital we have ever been to in town. They don't prescribe unnecessary meds, it's clean (I have no clue why anyone would say it isn't, it's always been clean every time we've had to go), it's cheap, and although sometimes there's a long wait, the staff has always been patient, nice, calming, and very thorough. They even call a few days after the visit to check in on your pet, which is awesome! This is also the only emergency animal hospital I have been to in Albuquerque where they don't automatically assume your pet has some kind of horrible disease and run up a huge bill with unnecessary tests, and believe me, I've been to most of them and experienced that quite a bit. I applaud them for their awesome customer service and will continue to take my animals there, and continue to recommend them to friends with pets who want good emergency care for a reasonable price.
