Report
My cat, Nala, just turned 7 years old and I have been taking her to SBVC since she was 3 months old. She has chronic urinary issues and Dr. Taylor has always been great with her and knows about her past issues. I have seen 1 or 2 other veterinarians there when Dr. Taylor was out of office, and they were also very professional and helpful. They really care about your pet's health and happiness and take the time to listen and explain. The techs are also very kind and gentle with my cat, and give her pets to calm her during vaccinations. I will be using this vet for as long as I am living in Waco, and I highly recommend it.

Report
Dr Robert is always great with our dog and we believe saved his life on one occasion. She is professional and knowledgable while also being compassionate. The vet tech on the day of our last visit was exceptionally good with our dog who is old and cantankerous. I have been taking my dogs to South Bosque Vets for at least 15 years and have always had good experiences.

Report
The South Bosque Veterinary Clinic took great care of our dog while being boarded. When a medical issue occurred during the stay Dr. Johnston contacted us and handled the issue in quick order. They will be our choice for veterinary services and boarding.

Report
The staff and vets at South Bosque Veterinary were great. Our first visit we took our dog with a reoccurring ear problem. Dr Jarred spent the time to listen and diagnose. Problem solved, he offered up several solutions and some proactive things we can do which I appreciated. The recommendation solved her problem. Highly recommend their clinic.
