Pet Stop Veterinary Clinic

We take all four of our animals here for regular check ups, specialty service, and spay/neuter. We are always treated well and the vet explains everything and all the options. I never feel pressured to do extra or expensive procedures for diagnosis, and do feel they recommend what the best options are for the treatment. They are very careful to keep pets comfortable and pain free as possible, and the vet techs always take patient and kind care when trying to calm pets for treatment and physicals. It’s a 30 minute drive for us, but so worth it!

I have a golden retriever who is 4 years old that in the past year I’ve been bringing her to different vets trying to figure out what is wrong with her. From bleeding from her mouth, to bumps on her body, to ripping her hair out & goopy eyes, lethargic, depression, pain. I was devastated thinking I’d never get a diagnosis without paying thousands of dollars. I was at the verge of surrendering her to make sure someone could be able to pay for all the expenses to fix her because I was hurt seeing her in pain constantly and unable to determine what was wrong with her due to having not enough funds. Dr. Whitney took this in her own hands and took the time out of her day to research and use all of the knowledge she knew to figuring out that Bella had a rare genetic disorder. She ruled out that we try steroids (that would tell us which disorder it was if it worked) and sure enough my dog is back to normal! I haven’t seen her like this for over a year and she’s 100 percent back to her old self if not even better!!! No more bad skin, fur looks amazing, no more eye goop, lethargic, depression, pain. She’s a happy dog again!!!! I am so very grateful for this vet!!!! They care so much about the animals that come in! Highly recommend! I also want to give the polite and amazing vet techs & employees in the entire place a great review too because they were all super nice & respectful and understanding!!!! Thank you!!!!

We love the pet stop! They are always very friendly and accommodating. Their prices are good and we ❤ Dr Whitney. I think they enjoy our pets as much as we do.

I am new in town, and I was worried about going to a new vet because our dog is family, and I want the best for him. I feel so lucky this Vet office is in my town! The staff is very nice and caring. The Dr. is amazing at her job. The care is affordable too! My dog had a cleaning with 3 extractions and I was really nervous about the procedure and cost. The whole thing went smoothly and the staff did a great job and the price was better than I expected. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to bring their furry family members.

I don’t even know where to begin. My dog hurt his leg playing outside. I called my vet (not Pet Stop) the next day for them to see him and they told me the soonest they could see him was over a month out...for an injury! So I called around to every vet in the area and more and no one had openings. I finally reached Pet Stop and I am so grateful I did. They were more than understanding of my situation and were so kind. They were able to get me in and never made me feel like an inconvenience even though my dog was extremely difficult. They were so understanding of his issues and were so nice about everything, unlike my other vet clinic that seemed frustrated and at one point said they wouldn’t even see him if he wasn’t sedated. I am so glad I found Pet Stop because it is the only place I will be taking my dog for now on even if I have to drive a little ways. They were so kinda and patient and treated us so well even thinking we weren’t going to come back because of the drive. I have nothing negative to say about my experience! Plus their pricing is extremely reasonable.

We are so glad we found the Pet Stop Clinic. The staff is personable, they take the time to get to know you and your pets and it feels like you've known them forever! The staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, and just so nice to work with! Dr. Whitney is very personable, knowledgeable, and always gives us options on our dogs treatments, along with giving us pricing beforehand so we are not surprised when we see our bill. Their prices are very reasonable, the best that we've seen, (and we've been to numerous vets before this). We've never felt like other clinics actually cared about our animals, it always felt like they were just a business. The staff at Pet Stop really care about your pet and really take the time to explain everything, instead of just rushing you out the door. I can't say enough good things about the Pet Stop Clinic, we are so lucky to have found them, they're the best!!!

I own several dogs and other animals, and have owned few more throughout my years. Recently one of my foster dogs had an extremely sore rear paw. I had never been to Pet Stop before, although I have heard good things. I will say I have never seen more caring staff at a vet than I did here. The vet tech sat cross-legged on the floor and held my girl close to make her feel safe as the vet did her examination. She spoke softly in her ear and pet her softly. I was more than impressed with how caring they are.

Dr. Whitney and her staff are wonderful. When it was time to put our beloved dog to sleep, they were just as upset as we were. They are very caring ladies and always go out of their way to make you and your pet comfortable. They are always up front with fees and are very reasonable. No surprises at check out. Love them. We have no problem referring people to their care.

I first visited Pet Stop on the recommendation of a patient of mine. The New Market location certainly isn't a fancy place, so I was feeling a bit reluctant. I quickly realized that the exceptional, thoughtful care shined so much brighter than the simple facade of the building and clinic. We went through an absolutely terrible disease with our dog that most dogs don't survive, but ours did thanks to Dr. Whitney and her thorough care. If she is stumped, she takes the time to research and collaborate with her peers all over the cities to find the answers. Her staff are also top-notch and so patient with me as I tend to ask lots of questions! I am so grateful that we found this wonderful group of people. I have dozens of vets closer to my house, but I don't hesitate to drive farther to see the ladies at Pet Stop!

The doctor is knowledgeable and friendly. The staff is incredibly helpful and understanding. They listen well and will try to squeeze you into their day if you need it. My pet even got a mini-exam in the waiting room to determine whether she needed a full appointment! They sell you what you need, not what will make them the most money. Most of all, they support your pets from birth to death. I just brought my kitty there to be cremated and they were very empathetic.

This veterinary couldn't be better. First and foremost -- the price is right! But not only that, the couple of times I have needed something ASAP for my cat, they have worked me in, even when I knew it was not convenient. The doctor is upfront with you about what she sees and is honest about the assessment. She does not sell you stuff you do not need or charge you for pointless stuff that you do not really know what it is. I have been to a few vet clinics in the city and they are not nearly as friendly or efficient. It just seems like everyone is so nice, especially the receptionist/secretary. You will not be disappointed!

On Memorial day, our cat went into labor, after 3 hours we still didn't have any kitten so we started call around to local vet clinics. The Dr called us back right away to talk about what was going on and what we should do (we had never been to the clinic before). She called us back again to check on progress and said we should bring cat in. She told us all costs right over phone. One of the kitten had some trouble but they were able to save her. We gained 4 little kittens that day and a new vet. The vet techs are always very friendly. I have been to 3 other Vet clinics in the past, the service here has been the best. They are very affordable and caring. My pets (6 indoor cats, 2 feral cat and 2 dogs) all enjoy going there. The Pet clinic looks like a house, so it helps our pets feel like they are going to visit a family friend and not a clinic.

Very loving and caring staff! We have brought each of our cats here for cat and have never been disappointed. They saved my cat's life when she nearly died, they have provided ongoing care with well visit checks and they even sat next to us and comforted us when we had to put our beloved cat down when he reached the end of his life. Amazing group of people!

It’s hard to describe just how much we love and appreciate Dr. Whitney and her staff. We drive from Lakeville and it’s 100% worth it. Dr. Whitney has gone above and beyond to support us (e.g. many caring and helpful phone calls as we were navigating our 14.5-year-old Min Pin’s end of life) and the care our pets have received from all of the staff has been top notch. Their rates are extremely reasonable, too. Highly recommend this wonderful vet office!

This is by far hands down one of the best Vet clinics in the state. We have a Great Dane and a small little Yorkie (Yes, he gives the big guy a run for his money). Dr. Whitney is a remarkanle Veterinarian and shows a true passion for this field and love towards all the animals that come through the door. We have been going to them for a couple years now and have always been pleased with the pricing and excellent care our pups have received. I would also like to mention that the Vet Techs are very polite and extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend Dr. Whitney and her staff. We will continue to drive 40 mins to them because of their amazing care and love for the animals they see.

Unexpectedly had to put our oldest kitty down during the peak of the pandemic. The staff here treated us like family, let us spend time with him to say goodbye, and let one of us stick with him til the end. All late on a Friday in May. Really a great bunch of people. I can imagine they’re just as compassionate (if not more so) to their usual customers too.

I was raised on a dairy with a 20 stall herringbone barn and automatic milk machine detatchers (a LOT of cattle) operating 24/7. We did much of our own vet work. Although I'm not involved with farming anymore, I know a good vet. Over the years we've had a few decent vets but Dr. Whitney is the best.

Without going into details, during a procedure our cat had an allergic reaction that *no vet* could have anticipated. No matter how careful or cautious a person is no one can know everything. Dr. Whitney went above and beyond anything I have seen in any kind of business to try to take care of the cat. She and her staff literally babysat our cat day and night, and nursed it back to health, for nearly a week. No one does that these days.

She and her staff are conscientious, work hard, and do all they can. After going to them for a bit over 6 years, we have found Dr. Whitney and her staff to be thorough, detail oriented, and very considerate. They are very reasonably priced and go out of their way to take care of your pets. My only regret is their move from Elko to Lonsdale. But, we still make the trip to her new location for service.

As a sidenote, before finding Pet Stop we had a nearly 15 year-old cat who was vomiting and having breathing issues. We took the cat to one vet who suggested a $2,500 exploratory surgery where he also said that they never really find anything but somehow it seems to release the demons and the cat is often healed afterward. A little while after that we went to Dr. Whitney where she spent a lot of time examining the cat, and noticed a lot of fluid in the lungs. She drained as much fluid as possible and sampled the fluid. She was very kind and considerate in talking to my wife about the fact that it was later stages of congestive heart failure. The cat did not make it a lot longer, but, she was successful in giving the cat several days for us to say our goodbyes. Without her intervention that day I doubt the cat would have made it through the night. The $2,500 surgery from the other vet would have been unsuccessful and the cat would most certainly have died from the un-diagnosed heart condition.

Dr. Whitney and her staff have consistently shown they are conscientious and hard working in taking care of your pets. They seem to recognize they are dealing with an extended member of the family.

Very helpful folks. I came to the Pet Stop Veterinary Clinic for my backyard chickens as they exhibited signs of worms. The staff were very helpful and did their research to best assist me and my small flock of birds. I appreciated the fact that I did not have to bring one of my ISA Brown's with me. They simply had me bring some of their manure to sample. Other clinics requested I bring my bird and created more inefficiency then necessary. They were very easy to work with! Two thumbs up.

Dr. Whitney and all of the girls at the Pet Stop have bent over backwards to treat all of my Chocolate labs. They have come in after hours, at night when Nestle was very sick. I have received nothing but the finest care from all at the Pet Stop. I will continue to bring my Boys to them forever. I recommend them with the highest regard.

Thanks , Dave.
Update, 12/14/15 Just got a new pup, Woody's little brother, had his first visit today with Dr. Whitney. They fit him in after just getting him 2 days ago. The care is top notch. My three dogs will never go anywhere else. Thanks.

Dr Whitney and her staff are fabulous. I have brought all of my animals here for the past few years. I have had emergency issues during regular and non business hours and they are always quick to return phone calls, make time for your pets, and will come in for emergency situations. Dr Whitney and the vet techs treat your pets like they are part of thier family. They always ask how everyone is doing even when you are in to just pick up prescriptions or supplies. I just moved quite a distance from the office but I will continue to make the drive to Elko New Market to bring my cat and dog in for care.
