Sploot Veterinary Care - Highlands

Sploot delivers warm, attentive care across urgent and routine visits, with surgeons and staff who spend time explaining treatment and follow up by text or phone. Staff names like Dr. Steine, Dr. Nicholls, and Allison appear consistently praised for patience with anxious or difficult pets. Fear Free certified and open seven days, the clinic serves West Highland and surrounding areas. The main friction point is cost: routine care prices run high, and some reviewers report feeling steered toward more expensive visits than medically necessary to boost revenue.

Staff earn consistent praise for calm care with nervous pets and same-day emergency slots. Vets explain treatment options without pressure and follow up by phone. One cat owner felt her explicit instructions about nail care were ignored; another reviewer experienced a three-minute exam after a long wait and thought the heartworm test charge was steep. Most pets arrive anxious and leave calm. Dental care, vaccinations, and wellness checks form the bulk of visits. Dr. Devin is named for thorough health summaries. Techs including Lizz are called out for kindness. Fair pricing is mentioned in one review; a few flag costs as high relative to the broader market. Same-day access for sick or injured animals stands out.

Highlands Animal Clinic

Long-time clients praise Dr. Drake and other vets for genuine care, patience with nervous animals, and a warm, at-home feel. Newer reviews reveal significant rifts: rushed diagnostics at initial visits, failure to complete or report bloodwork and fecal results, and front-desk rudeness that turned away potential clients before they entered. Since an ownership change, the clinic has split into two camps. Senior pet owners value thorough attention and follow-up calls. But recent accounts describe missed diagnoses, unnecessary surgery recommendations, and medication refill obstacles that required new appointments. One reviewer lost a senior dog to pulmonary hypertension after the clinic failed to order bloodwork at a wellness visit, then misread x-rays at the ER visit that followed.
