Yup, this place is overpriced. It's overpriced even compared to my old vet in Brooklyn. And, yup, that seems weird and unnecessary. But University Veterinary Hospital is pretty much worth it. The staff are always friendly and responsive, the technicians (especially the stellar Elaine) are careful to both explain what's going on and make you/your pets feel comfortable, and the veterinarians I've seen have consistently been top notch. Most recently, one of the veterinarians tracked me down with calls to Mexico and an e-ma... read more

All the vets & techs I have seen are very good with my cats and can keep them calm. It is a very professional and clean clinic and offers lots of treatment options you can't find other places. So far, I have always been able to get an appointment within just a few days of calling, which I appreciate very much. I also really like their hours- they are open early and late, so I don't have to miss work for a vet appointment. The one problem I have is with price. I understand that they have really good equipment and a very nic... read more

Plus: incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. They have made quick and accurate diagnoses with some tough illnesses for our dogs. When our golden retriever was dying of osteo-sarcoma the doctor was there for us every step of the way. She even came in on her day off to talk us through euthanizing our dog. The waiting area is clean and spacious, making it easy to keep poorly-socialized pets (like our other dog) away from model citizens. Techs and vets are all courteous and prompt in their service, and they even keep chocol... read more

We first turned to University Veterinary about 15 years ago, after a not-so-good experience with a different vet, and our various dogs and cats have had wonderful, compassionate (maybe we should say "loving") care from everyone there. They all seem to know every animal who comes in the door. Even when I drop in unscheduled to check a dog's weight and snitch a chocolate chip cookie, the pet is greeted by name, usually before they notice I'm there too. The veterinary doctors clearly provide great training to the tech staff and... read more

After reviewing and considering many vet's offices in town, my boyfriend and I decided to take our purebred Singapura kitty to University Vet Hospital for his neutering. We were more than happy with the treatment given to our baby. Upon calling just for an estimate for the surgery, they said $200, which is steep, yes, but since we consider our little guy a family member as well as an investment since he was so expensive in the first place, we decided quality over saving money was the way to go. I called them on a Tuesday, a... read more

I cannot say enough about the fantastic care and service my dog received. I have been in SLC for about 5 years. Dr. Magali Lequient has been my dog's primary vet. If Dr. Lequient was out of town or unavailable, UVPDC was always excellent about squeezing my dog in for an urgent appointment with another vet. For the last couple of years, my dog has been suffering from a degenerative neurological disorder. Dr. Lequient was fantastic with advising and working with all my requests including exploring a number of non-traditional... read more

I just moved to the area, and was worried I wouldn't find a vet that was as nice as my last vet. Well, I was unnecessarily worried! My puppy, Murphy, got sick shortly after I moved, and I called these guys up. They were incredibly friendly on the phone and were able to fit me in that afternoon. Upon arrival, I was impressed with how clean and new everything at the clinic was. The staff was wonderful. Everyone stopped to say hello to Murphy and talk to me. We got back into the exam room pretty quickly, and the vet tech... read more

I love these guys, as they are super compassionate and have helped my dog many, many times. I started going there because they are so close to my house,but since moving to their new place, I have to admit that Allen has hit the nail on the head. Too much money for me. And to top it off, I end up feeling guilty telling them I need to take my dog to a cheaper clinic for the small stuff (I know, guilt is totally in my own head). But if I could afford it, my dog would be their #1 customer! Dr. L and Dr. G have been absolute... read more

So, to be brief and honest: I like it because it's nearly an all-female staff, and women are so much better at being compassionate vets/vet techs than men. I don't like it because their prices were always painfully steep (in my eyes), but I always dug deep when it came to surguries, because I wanted the best for my cats. When it came to vaccinations, I saved the extra $20-30 and went to either PetSmart or Sugarhouse Animal Clinic.
