The worst service ever! DO NOT BRING YOUR PET HERE! The receptionist are absolutely the worst and do not care about your pets whatsoever. They will give you attitude and not assist. Do not spend a dime here.

I have been bringing my Havanese dog here for many years. I feel the doctor has been excellent in treating my dog. He explains what the problem is and how best to treat the dog. Their staff is helpful and friendly.

Animal Hospital of Desert was awesome. We were staying in PS area and our Westie with bladder cancer needed to be seen. After calling several vets only AHoD would help us. They provided Gus outstanding care during his visits and filled his prescriptions for us the 2 months we were there. We appreciate them so much. Thank you

Had to take our dog there. They were able to fit us in quickly for an extra fee. Every other place was full for a month.
