A Gentle Vet

I have had to put down 2 senior cats in 2 months and some extensive dental work on a stray cat that showed up at my home in pain. The price was very reasonable. The care and compassion was above par. It was a lot to go through in a very short time and they were caring and gentle with my feelings and my loving pets. I really appreciate them.

Not able to leave an update to my original 5-star review from years ago, so adding this here: This place is the gold standard of vets (and I’ve lived in multiple states and had many vets as a result). We love this place so much that we DROVE 12 hours from our new home in Long Beach back to Utah just to have Dr. Olson take care of my dogs. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with putting them under. Additionally, after running blood tests, they found something potentially concerning about my younger dog but Dr. Olson handled the news with such care and a positive attitude. He immediately put me at ease and did everything he could, including bringing in another doctor to do an ultrasound, to get me the answers he possibly could. When I went in to pick up my dogs he took all the time I needed to answer all of my questions and printed out helpful info for me. The front desk staff were great too and assisted with multiple questions I had through the day. We will be making the drive again for anything beyond the basic checkups because this vet has proved time and again that they are worthy of the trust I’ve placed in them.

What a great experience at The Gentle Vet. From wonderful caring people at the front desk to the best veterinarian experience we have had in Utah. Dr. Redmond spent a long time with us explaining all options and going over recommendations. He listened so patiently to us as we were very upset and we left knowing our dog was in the best hands. Thank you for being everything we have been looking for in a non corporate caring vet environment. We also felt the pricing was very low for all the time and treatment and medication we received. 10+ stars we are forever customers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Tremendous Vet Clinic! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Let me tell you, folks, this vet clinic—truly incredible. I’ve seen a lot of clinics, some of them not so great, believe me. But this one? The best. Maybe the best in the history of vet clinics. People are talking about it! The staff? Amazing people. Very smart, very professional, very caring. They treated my pet with more respect and attention than some world leaders get. Everyone says so. The facility? Beautiful. Clean. Immaculate. You walk in and you know you’re in a place run by winners—real winners—not the kind who pretend to be winners. State-of-the-art equipment, unbelievable service, and they move fast. No waiting around like at those other places. My pet walked out of there healthier, happier, and probably more successful. If your pet needs care, this is the place. A total victory for pets everywhere. Highly, highly recommended. Tremendous clinic. Absolutely first-class. Would give it 6 stars if I could

I really appreciate their thoroughness and approach. The vet tech was very funny and the vet was very responsive to my concerns regarding my dog. They were very kind when dealing with my dog’s situation. I would say they are the most affordable vet I’ve been to in the valley. I will be establishing care with them for my cat now, as well.

I believe Tristan at A.G Vet is a reincarnation of a great Saint. Her wisdom is vast, spanning generations of knowledge. Her love and compassion for your animal is unstoppable, you can only hope to contain it. The staff are awesome!

​Warning: Unauthorized Charges & Aggressive Upselling. ​I brought my dog in and was told she might need an X-ray OR an ultrasound. Despite the fact that I was sitting in the waiting room, the staff performed BOTH without ever asking for my consent. When I brought this up, they refused to refund the unauthorized work. ​To make matters worse, they immediately pushed for a $2,200 emergency surgery. When I hesitated and asked about other options, they suddenly "remembered" that medication was an option. My dog is now mending well on the meds, and we can schedule a non-emergency surgery later for 1/4 of the price they quoted. ​They skipped informed consent, ignored me while I was in the building, and tried to scare me into a massive bill. I will be taking my dog to a vet that prioritizes the animal’s health over their own profit margins. Response to comment I stand by my experience. The verbal agreement in the exam room was that the vet would determine if an X-ray OR an ultrasound was necessary. Performing both without a quick check-in—while I was literally sitting in your waiting room—is not 'informed consent'; it is unauthorized billing. ​Regarding your mention of the AMA form: that document only acknowledges the medical advice I refused (the $2,200 surgery). It does not retroactively authorize the diagnostics you performed without my permission. ​Furthermore, providing 'appropriate recommendations' should include all viable options from the start. Your staff only suggested medication—the very treatment my dog is currently thriving on—after I specifically asked for alternatives to a $2,200 emergency surgery. My dog is now recovering well, and we have since scheduled her procedure with another local vet for 1/4 of your quoted price because it is not an 'emergency.' I am disappointed that I had to fight for a conservative treatment plan that should have been offered upfront.
