Upper Heights Veterinary Clinic

Look no further! Dr. Anstadt is a great vet. We went to him several years back because our dog would get UTIs about every 5-6 months with a $500 vet bill each time. He gave us great advice with dieting (since she was leaving food in the bowl and she wasn't overweight but the extra weight on her was making her more suspectible to UTIs) and using no salt to get her to drink and pee more often. After that, she never got another UTI. No other vet we saw previously actually helped us get to the root of the issue. We went there last month when our dog stopped eating and couldn't keep anything down. He did lab work, then exploratory surgery and found masses in her abdominal wall. They were beyond surgical removal and she could bleed out if he took a sample to test for cancer. When we went to put her down, he offered one last option to try steroids. If she could keep food down and get her weight back up, then she'd have to take steroids for the rest of her life but he said she didn't seem ready to go. We tried it and now she's alive, eating well, and acting like a puppy again. We are so grateful for his expertise and help!

So friendly, caring, thoughtful! We put our dog down which was the hardest thing they were nothing but caring and thoughtful to us and our dog during this hard time. Could not recommend a more caring friendly place to take your animals

We have taken our pets to Upper Heights Veterinary Clinic for almost 30 years. Dr. Andstadt and his staff have seen us through the loss of 3 cats and 2 dogs, most recently our sweet senior rescue Chihuahua Sophie in early November. He and his staff worked us into their busy day at the Oakwood office when Sophie took a turn for the worse. They gave us all the time we needed with her before and after she crossed the rainbow bridge. They made a very difficult decision easier with their compassion and care with Sophie and with us. We had our sweet Sophie girl for just 5 short years but she definitely left paw prints on our hearts.❤️🐾🌈🐾

They are the BEST!!! And they are always great about answering my 90 questions...😀

Upper Heights is the best low-key, old fashioned, vet clinic in Dayton. We've been seeing Dr. Sven with our cats for almost 2 and a half decades, and he's the most knowledgeable, caring, patient, and thorough vet we've encountered. We've tried other clinics and had a good experience at the AcutePet Urgent Care in Beavercreek, but we keep going back to Upper Heights due to its no-frills, customer-first atmosphere and their first-rate pet care that we've enjoyed all these years and hopefully for many years to come!

Dr.Anstadt took care of my family dog Maggie for nearly 15 years. He and his staff were always kind and helpful and took good care of her. When it was time to let her go, doc made a very hard day for us much more comfortable for her by carrying her out of the car and up the steps as she was too frail to walk up them by herself. The whole process was dignified and he and his staff had kind words for us. They even sent us a little sympathy card with her ink paw print inside. I will always be grateful for this team for being there for our girl through good days and bad!

Dr. Anstadt and his staff are awesome. He is great with our pets, very well-educated, and explains things thoroughly. We always learn something new when visiting. The staff are always polite and friendly. Great business all around.
