Alvarado Veterinary Clinic

Last week we took my Nero to get checked, found out he had lung cancer. It was not the news we expected.
I’m thankful to the doctor that gave us medication to help him. We were told he had a month to live but the quality of life during this time would br something to consider.
With the medication given to Nero I was able to travel back home and give my baby boy a proper send off.
Nero was laid to rest on August 12,2023, his final days were good ones.
Thank you for given him the medication he was able to enjoy his final days surrounded with love of his family and friends.

A new female Japanese Chin came into our family. She’s two years of age. We named her Miko. She recently stopped being “in heat” a few months prior. We had to get her spayed before her next “in heat” cycle.
We compared many vets for scheduling and price. In the end, we settled on the Alvarado Veterinary Clinic.
It was a 30-minute drive from Mansfield. But the drive is pleasant. Traffic is light. The scenic countryside is relaxing. Not a bad trip.
The clinic will do Miko's surgery at 8:00 a.m. That’s when the clinic opens. The check-in was efficient. We waited for 15 minutes in the waiting area. Then a vet measured her weight. She took Miko for surgery. Miko would stay overnight.
We picked her up the next day. Miko acted as if nothing happened to her! A vet would need to remove her stitches after a week. No need for an appointment. Her stitches were tiny.
For the entire week, Miko behaved like her normal self. I wish I was like her after my surgery.
We returned to remove her stitches. We requested a rabies shot for Miko. The entire process only took ten minutes.
This was the second time we used the Alvarado Clinic. The first time was for our oldest dog who has passed. Our experience was positive on both occasions.

The wait today was awful, but it is worth all the time waiting to have these amazing people care for my pet the way I do. All of the staff and doctors here are so kind and really care for every pet that walks through their doors. They were very overwhelmed with the number of people today, and I could tell they were exhausted, but they didn't let that stop them from giving 100% to every pet there. They helped treat my dog for seizures and helped me with many other pets in the past, even helping when some crossed the rainbow bridge. 🌈

It has been the best veteran clinic that I have ever experienced. For starters Dr Rainey saved our coydog Alice 13yrs ago when she was a little puppy. We just had to have her put down due to a bleeding internal tumor.
It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. The entire staff at the Alvarado Vet. made the experience tolerable with genuine concern and sympathy.

I've taken my dog here a few times. The first was after I went somewhere else and was quoted over 10k for my dogs surgery. Another 3k for recovery stay. I went to Alvarado and they were amazing. Insanely nice and professional. I will only be going to this vet from now on. I can see why they are so busy. This place is the place to take the animal you car about.

I’ve never heard on had a single negative comment. All the vets I’ve met this far have been friendly and caring. Our toughest visit was putting our beloved Blue down and if it weren’t for the awesome and caring vet we saw that day, I don’t think I could have been content with the decision we had to make. He wasn’t concerned about $, it was the health of our dog and the right decision we need to make. Thank you all!!

Never a bad experience. From goats to kittens - they take great care of all our animals. I’m always impressed with the service, timeliness and passion of all of their staff. And you can’t beat their prices.

They were able to get my little guy in as a new patient. Dr. Garrett was very personable and took time to answer all of my questions. Staff is friendly and caring.

They are very friendly and professional. Great with the animals. I trust them

This vet has always been my go-to! They actually care about the animals they see. Even though their system for visits is different, it functions quite well.
Recently, we had to put our beloved dog down due to health issues. They showed so much care and compassion that it helped knowing they would actually care for my pets body with respect.

I think they are a great vet clinic. My yorkie was hit by a car and they tried everything to save but not successful.....they allowed us to go in a room spend some last moments....someone came in from the front desk to take care of their stuff.....when all was done we were able to just walk out and wait for our dog to brought out, so we could take them home to bury. No issues ever with this vet.

Always a great experience!! I've been coming to this clinic for 10+years. Always exceptional care for my fur babies as well as an awesomely polite staff!

This Vet clinic is the best!!! I have searched the world over trying to get my dogs nails cut because she is a pitbull (extremely strong) and shes so afraid of Vets she gets aggressive. I always hated having her sedated just for a 3 minute nail trim, tried the Gabapentin/Trazodone/Melatonin to do her nails myself at home but the meds had opposite effects and made her paranoid, scared, restless, even scared of me. You cannot imagine the living hell I've been going thru EVERY MONTH trying to figure all this out and the trauma to me, to her etc. Horrible!!!!
FINALLY, I called a Vet clinic (Alvarado) that didn't tell me "we can try but can't guarantee anything)!!!!! When I called Alvarado Veterinarian Clinic on Hwy 67, they said "yes, of course we can do it" I was like "Really?? I mean really????" She said "yes and you don't need an appointment just come on Tuesday or Wednesday for new patient registration" I swear I thought I was dreaming!!!! Heaven on earth. You may laugh and say that's over the top over a nail trim but you have no idea unless you know what I'm talking about. If you know, you know and if you don't then shut the heck up!!!
When I got to the clinic with Bella, I was able to leave her in the car while I went in and filled out very quick paperwork, then was able to wait IN the car with Bella and they called me when they were ready for her, they came outside to greet/help us before I could even get out of the car, then I said "I probably need to muzzle her" the young lady said "no ma'am we got her" I was like "are you serious" she said "yes ma'am". Then I went back out to the car and maybe 4 minutes later they came walking out with Bella and I jumped out of my car and said "is everything ok" she said "oh yes ma'am we're done" and I got Bella in the car and went in and paid. I WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER THAT PAYING!!!! Because it was merely pocket change!!! This crew is the bomb!!!! I love them!!! They are like saviors and you really have no idea how much it helped me and to know I have a resolution finally for our once a month need!!! Plus ALL of her medical needs from this day forward!!!
I know for a fact these Vets have been in business for years!!! They could not find me in the system but it was many many years ago when I contacted this Veterinarian clinic about a puppy out in the country that looked like it had been hit by a car but was still barely alive. I went nuts and made my boyfriend take the litter puppy and put it on Alvarado Veterinarians porch. Then I called their after-hours number and the dear Veterinarian said he'd go down right away and see if he could save the puppy. It was only about 30 minutes later he called me back and said "I'm sorry but Little didn't make it" Yes!! That's how he addressed the little thing!! Called it "little". Soooo sweet. He said he was too far gone but they put the little thing down so he wouldn't suffer no more. Mind you this was all in the middle of the night while they were closed!!! So I said " thank you, thank you so much, what do I owe you?" He said "nothing". He knew it was not my puppy but just one I found injured somewhere and therefore didn't charge me anything.
Anyway, back to my vet-aggresive little girl and her nails.... Listen, these folks know their business and are Saints to me!! Every person that works there has my utmost trust and respect. Can't say enough good things. They know what they are doing and they are extremely popular!!!!
Thank you Alvarado Veterinarians and staff for the hard work and dedication!!!!

Fantastic vet clinic. Fantastic, very knowledgeable vet and staff. Treated me and my dog great. Bes/ vet and staff I've ever met. I will be using them more in the future.

They’re the BEST. We’ve been going to AVC for 15 years.
We have had some roller coaster visits and even so, they’re always helpful and professional. We use them for everything, whether we’re getting a checkup, shots or euthanasia for pets and livestock.

Alvarado Vet..... They are awesome!!! First place in 3 years that trimmed my Baby Girls nails without any issues!!!! Damn good, professional people!! Love Everyone in that building!!!! Thank you times one million!!!!!

This place is awesome! Wait times can be a little long but, they are affordable and well staffed most of the time. They have helped all four of my pups and I highly recommend them. They have an on call on Saturday for emergencies for an added fee but it’s still less expensive than an emergency vet.

They are so awesome wouldn't take my pets anywhere else. Took good care of our Snowbally. Thank You all so much.

My cat got attacked by dogs and Dr. Vena was so good to us. She was very caring in putting NovaLee to sleep and allowed me ample time to deal. Pricing was reasonable and the extra cremation/urn services was a great deal. I should have NovaLee's ashes back in about a week or so.

I have been using AVC for 7 years now and love them! They will always be my go to clinic!
