Little Cottonwood Animal Hospital

My 15 year old cat had been suffering from bone cancer for a while and I felt I had run out of options. When I brought him here, all the doctors who saw him had treated him very lovingly and carefully, and I was kept fully informed of all treatment options available for him. All the advice given to me was straightforward while also taking into account that I was grieving him. As someone who had been feeling completely devasted about his slow decline, everyone at the hospital had brought me a sort of peace as they had reassured me I had done everything I could to help him. On the day I had to bring him in to be euthanized, they allowed me to bring in my whole family to say goodbye. My family and I were allowed to take our time to be with him in the room until we were ready to let him go, and when the time came, the process itself was quick and peaceful. Dr. Horvath had walked us through every step of the euthanasia, and while my family had been distraught over the process, having her walk us through everything was incredibly reassuring and had allowed us to focus on him in his last moments. We were given all the time needed to mourn him and I never felt rushed to leave. Even when I came in 2 weeks later to pick up his ashes, the front desk staff were very kind and comforted me once again for his loss. This is the only hospital where I felt my concerns were taken seriously and where my cat's issues were dealt with immediately. At other hospitals, I had been told to wait days or even weeks for x-rays to even begin the process of diagnosing him. Here, the day I brought him was the day I had finally learned what his issue was and had been given treatment to start right away. I live about 45 minutes away but this is the only place I'd consider taking my babies for treatment. I would highly recommend this hospital to anyone who is thinking of bringing their pets here. The staff are very understanding and straightforward, the rooms are always cleaned right before I'm taken inside, and I feel like all my concerns are heard and acknowledged!

Best hospital and vets anywhere. Been coming here for years. My dog now is 17 and they have taken such good care of her. Many dogs and cats before her were patients too wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Terribly disappointing visit Thursday 8/10/23. After sending exact RX text request TUESDAY am....2 days earlier "Hydrocodone, pimobendan and furosemide 30 tabs ea" Recd text Wed "meds are ready for pick up"....we arrived 12:25p Th to pick the meds up. Texting we are on the way, 3 stop lights away etc. Updates. ONLY to be told upon arrival after paying $130 while checking out....NO furosemide, forgot. Oooops. Overlooked, wont be filled till after 2pm. WE have to now find something else to do...till 2pm, but evidently till 2:10pm when staff figures out how to count. THEN GETTING HOME, realize! NO!!!!!! My request/order wasn't fullfilled as requested at all. I recd, 60 pimobendan 30 furosemide 20 hydrocodone WE are seniors on a budget and need to fullfill RXs as best we can. WHY WAS HYDROCODONE SHORTED? 10 tabs WHY WAS PIMOBENDAN OVERFILLED BY 30? WHY WAS FUROSEMIDE FORGOTTEN/OVERLOOKED? The staff as hard as they want to appear as professionals are certainly anything else. The attitudes and BLANK capabilities are perfect examples of where we are 2023. Now, they refuse to complete my original order as well answer emails. MOVING ON !

Great care of our dogs every time we go. They are very friendly and good at communicating costs and the needs of our dogs. I'm glad we found Little Cottonwood will always bring our pets here.
