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.
There is no other vet in the valley that I trust more than the Veterinarians at University Pet Clinic (Now called University Veterinary Hospital). I've always taken my cats to them, and have gone to just about every Vet they have working there. They are extremely knowledgeable, have all the best treatments & technologies, and are truly caring lovely wonderful people. Even the Vet Techs are amazing - they always remember my kitties and are always available & ready to help. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!
We have been taking our dog here for 3 years now, however I am very disappointed with the service we received today. Dr. Potts barely spent 2 mins with our dog before dismissing us and sending me home to treat my dog on my own. Her bedside manner and customer service leave a lot to be desired.
TLDR: Great care, astronomical prices with 0 warning and no price breakdown. Charged $700 for an appointment that costs ~$200 at other clinics. I want to preface this review by stating I think the veterinarians and staff are extremely competent and provide good care. My issue is not with the quality of care, but with the cost and lack of communication regarding it. I went to UVH for an international health certificate for my cat as they were accredited by the USDA for certifying pet travel. I visited the clinic twice, the ... read more

So this place I'm giving them a one star rating they do not take any new appointments until the third week of August why list of business if you're not taking you business I just feel like it's a waste of my time as a Yelp person to find a business on here, and not being able to reach out to them because they're not taking a business
Business response:
Hello Sid, unfortunately the veterinary industry has experienced a massive increase in patients as well as a massive decrease in staff since 2020. We are doing our best and have added more Veterinarians and support staff to combat this issue. We also offer urgent care appointments and drop off exams to try and assist more patients in need where we can. You'll likely find that most veterinary hospitals in our area are experiencing the same struggles as we are. All we can do, is do our best. If you would like to discuss this f... read more
If the front desk was not factored into this review, then it would be 5 stars. The doctors and the technicians are always on top of everything, very knowledgable, and friendly. The front desk however is ABYSMAL. Not only are there always ridiculous hold times on the phone, but they are unfriendly and frankly do not know anything about animals. I was on hold for over ten minutes (which is longer than when I even call an emergency vet!!) to ask a follow up question about an antibiotic I was sent home with. The receptionist had... read more

Where do I start. My dog had a spider bite on her nose, they wanted to do a biopsy $650, which I paid. I had to leave county, and had an associate call to get results. They weren't forthcoming about having the results which was super frustrating. They wanted dog on prednisone which they gave my associate. They gave him a hard time about an $18 prescription and left me messages about it. Mind you over the last two decades I have probably spent welll over 5k which I always paid at time of service. Today I went in to ... read more

Hi Desingslc D, we apologize for the frustration and take your feedback seriously. Our policy of expecting payment at time of service is standard. Please call the hospital directly at 801-596-9005 to speak to the practice manager if you would like to discuss this matter further.
Melissa was very difficult to work with and asked me to repeat myself a million times. What's the point of secrataries if they don't know anything. Every time a nurse answers the phone like Shane, juan, christian, or stacy then I get my answers right away and its a very easy conversation. I think they should get rid of the secrataries and just have the nurses. I ended up going to another vet for my pet who has come here for years. My daughter is switching vets too. The care is very good with the drs.Very sad to see this plac... read more
