Vital Animal Veterinary Clinic

These guys are great. We stayed with them when they took over for Dayton Williams, and we’ve been really pleased. When my pittie was having orthopedic trouble, Dr Lisa went over all the possibilities to make sure he was correctly diagnosed and the correct treatment provided. When medication was required, we discussed cost vs. benefits so I wasn’t destroyed financially, but still made sure my animals received the best care possible. I can’t recommend them enough!

I would give 0 if I could. I grew up going to this vet with my childhood cat and I loved the people and experiences every single time. However since Dr Williams has passed this place has gone straight down a dark hole. He would be so disappointed. Now as an adult I had gone there several times for my current pets and every single time has been a horrid experience. Firstly a year ago I gotten a new kitten from a found stray that was pregnant with said kitten. When she was 6 months old she wasn’t doing well and needed treatment. When we picked her up she was completely covered in her own fecal matter and we had to give her a bath at home. When we called about it they apologized saying it should not have happened. Reading these reviews it seems like they let it happen all the time. Now recently when on a phone call talking about my older dog has a life time medication she needs to take. When one falls on hard times, choices have to be made unfortunately and for a month we couldn't afford her meds. She’s been doing fine. The person on the other end of the line was VERY judgmental about her not being on said meds, saying we should have just paid, we should have called the vet, and insinuating that we don’t love/care for our dog. I will never return to this place and never recommend it to anyone. And again Dr Williams would be beyond disappointed.

Took our dog here when our vet and literally every single vet in Sioux Falls ( & Tea & Brandon!) were booked. Was able to get a same day appointment. The staff were friendly and attentive.. From the desk staff to the vet tech to the vet! Will use again if needed!

I love Vital Animal and all the girls up front are always so friendly. Dr Lisa was great when my 1 dog started having seizures, which he rarely has anymore. I am so happy I found this clinic!

We called a lot of places trying to get someone who would be willing to look at our Guinea Pig and they were the only ones who took the time to listen and allow us to schedule an appointment for the next business day! We brought the one in and they confirmed all was well and even was willing to look at our second one the same day - just to be sure. A little background - we lost one unexpected earlier this year - mainly because no one would help... Had we known about Vital at the time, I'm thinking we may have had a different outcome. Anyway, the Guineas do not live around here but were coming to visit and the first one was sneezing so we were worried! They took the time to listen, eased our concerns and made us feel at ease. Highly recommend!
