Pryor Veterinary Hospital South - Wagoner, Oklahoma

If I could give no stars, I would. It’s too much to type out but basically I took my extremely ill cat into this vet because the snow and ice prevented me from going to my regular vet in Catoosa. My cat was audibly and visibly having trouble breathing. The vet listened to my cats lungs and heart and asked another vet to come in and listen to his heart because he thought my cat had a murmur. The other vet came in and couldn’t hear my cats heart murmur so he put a cloth with alcohol on it over my cats nose and mouth in order to stop his breathing so he could hear the murmur. Keep in mind we were at the vet for my cats extreme breathing issues. The original vet said he just has a respiratory infection and gave him an antibiotic injection and a small steroid injection (I had to ask for the steroid injection) and sent us home and said that if he’s not better by that Friday which was in 3 days, to bring him back in. The next morning, I found my cat laying still barely breathing in his own urine. I took immediately took him back to the same vet and called on my way in to explain that this was an emergency. Well, when I got to the vet, they had me wait in the waiting room for 10mins and there was no one else there to be seen. A different vet finally called me back in to see my cat and said he doesn’t look good. I said if he was treated for his illness when I brought him in yesterday, would he have had a better chance of living? The vet said “probably not”. He said that we could charge you $800 or $900 to do some further testing but he still might now make it or we could put him down. I asked what he recommended because money isn’t the issue. The vet wasn’t clear with his answer to my question and I ended up just saying that we should put him to rest because he could barely breath and was obviously suffering. The vet agreed and gave my cat one injection that made him tired then I waited alone with my cats for another 10 mins while the vet caught up on his phone calls for the morning. The vet eventually came back in to give the final injection to put him to rest. He grabbed my cat before his final breath and asked what I would like to do with him. I said the ground was frozen so I asked that he be cremated. All in all, the vet didn’t pay enough attention to my cat and his illness the first time we went in to see them. If that vet did his job, then my cat might still be alive or maybe not have had to suffer that much longer. Lack of compassion, poor bedside manor.

I think it is so important to establish a real relationship with your veterinarians! They get to know you and your animals. That can help them in the future to determine, in case of an emergency how they may need to prioritize a call about something you may be in a panic about! To us as animal owners our animals should always be at the top of the list, but when a clinic is very busy and sees so many animals/people, there is a need to try and access the situation over the phone sometimes. When we call, really stressed over whatever that situation is if they can’t get to you right now, then they can give you things to try until they can. Pryor vet clinic, whether it’s the Pryor or Wagoner location always calls back when they tell you they will. Most of the time due to the number of veterinarians they employ they can usually come out and do a farm call very quickly if we can’t get an animal loaded to get there. They can be a lifeline! These people are amazing and the only vets we’ve used for years. I appreciate their professionalism and concern for my animals. We have peace of mind knowing they always have our backs! Thank you for your service♥️

Best time ever that a vet takes time to follow step by step my Garfield cat sickness before we went back home. Wonderful treatment, kindness and hope. Just walk-in
Thank you doctor McBride for your love, care and compassion for my cat 😺.

I made an appointment a month in advance to gety dogs teeth cleaned. I was told to not feed her and drop her off at 7:30 in the morning. I dropped her off and when I didn't hear from them I called them around 2:30. I was informed that the vet tech "forgot" about my dog and went on to do other tasks. Last thing you want to hear from a vet is I forgot. So my dog was sitting there hungry and thirsty and nervous and scared all day long. When they said oh she's next meant that they didn't even realize she was there at all. They should have had it done in the morning and my dog back to me by noon at least. That's what I was told. I proceeded to go get my dog and retrieve her from these forgetful people. Without any services. I will never go back here again. My dog does not do well in places like that she shakes and cries. Which I guess is not their problem at all and they don't give a care. When I got my dog in the pickup she promptly pooped all over the seat which tells me that they never even let her out to go potty all day long. And my dog is fully potty trained. You don't forget an animal that is in your care. The vet needs to have a meeting with his staff because this is unacceptable.

Edit: "forgot" is exactly the word used by the front desk. If that's not the case then it was a poorly chosen word. However, it is that word which caused me to become very concerned and which caused me to come and pick up my dog.

I made a mistake cutting my dogs nails and hurt him. The vet didn't criticism me he just made my dog better and the price was reasonable. Then he taught me a better way to do i.

Dr. Stan removed my dogs (Zena) breast cancer which saved her life. They are affordable as well, and everyone there is very nice, I would recommend them to everyone

Worst vet experience I have ever had. Would recommend going to the Animal Clinic in Wagoner heading towards Taylor’s ferry. They’re a lot friendlier and actually seem to care. Will never go here again.

We have had the best experience with this Vet Hospital. We had an issue with one of our dogs that was very sick. The Doctor called every day providing an updated condition while our dogs stayed in the hospital. After we brought our dog home, he continued to call and check on him each day including on the weekends. The sincerity and compassion of the staff is rare today but is greatly appreciated.
