Extremely Distressing and Unethical Experience — Do Not Bring Your Pet Here in a Dire Situation We had a terrifying experience at this emergency vet on Saturday with our Pomeranian puppy. He was lethargic, non-responsive, and drooling, so we rushed him in fearing the worst. Before any treatment could be done, we were told we had to pay upfront, which immediately made the entire experience feel like a money grab rather than care focused on our pet’s wellbeing. We paid $1,300 for X-rays and blood work, yet were given no clear explanation for why our puppy was sick. After waiting for hours, the doctor told us our puppy had food/fluid in his lungs, was having trouble breathing, and needed oxygen. We were told he would be suffering without oxygen. At that same time, the doctor also mentioned that his blood work showed low blood sugar. Despite this, the overall message we were given was that our puppy was dying, and we were then asked for an additional $3,000 to keep him overnight. When we explained that we could not afford the $3,000, the doctor told us the best option was to put him down. As a family, we were absolutely devastated and genuinely began considering euthanasia based solely on how serious and hopeless the situation was made to seem. Later, a nurse came in and gave us another option — to take our puppy home. When he was brought out for discharge, he looked completely normal. To make matters worse, we were told we would receive copies of the radiographs/X-rays, but as of now we have not received them. It felt incredibly unethical and cruel to tell a desperate family that their puppy would suffer or die without oxygen, suggest euthanasia, and apply intense financial pressure, only for him to appear fine shortly afterward. It also felt like they were taking advantage of the fact that it was a weekend emergency when families are at their most vulnerable. For a facility that claims to have specialists, the inability — or unwillingness — to clearly explain the root cause of our puppy’s condition is alarming. We spent 4hrs there just to get an unclear diagnosis and $1300 out of our pockets. We nursed him back to health all Sunday, which he looked to be getting better. We then took him to our local vet and he said that our puppy looks normal. The only thing he could spot was that he had a cold/runny nose. Our puppy is now doing well and back to his normal self. Based on our experience, I strongly urge pet owners not to bring their pet here, especially in a dire or emergency situation. Please seek a second opinion if you are able.

It has taken me a month to find the words to describe my feelings about my sweet Enzo’s passing. The loss has been profound, and putting my emotions into words has been a difficult journey. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the Oncology staff at Sugarland Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Novosad, Christina, Celeste, and Irene, your incredible support and veterinary care meant everything to both Enzo and me during this challenging time. I have never experienced another clinic where my pets enjoyed being there. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sugarland Veterinary Clinic to anyone. Their honesty, love, and unwavering support helped me care for my sweet Enzo right up until his final days. I am deeply grateful for everything you did for us.

We were referred to the oncology department for our baby Sophie after she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Every step of this journey has been smooth and informative. Dr. Novosad is friendly, knowledgeable and overall a great provider for our dog during this time of uncertainty. Tanya at the front desk has a great attitude, very professional. Christina also is an outstanding medical provider. We came here with high expectations from the great recommendation our vet provided. They have lived up to that 100%. I highly recommend the oncology department here!

After my sweet boy Tiny was diagnosed with Lymphoma, we were referred to Dr. Novosad and his loving team at SLVS. I was on the fence about treatment in the beginning but Christina was so helpful about educating me on what to expect. Because Tiny is a pitbull, I do get nervous bringing him around new people especially those pricking him with needles but he grew to LOVE every single person on the oncology team. They remembered him by name, gave him treats galore and gave me the peace of mind that he was in great hands. There were even multiple times where I would call to see if he was ready and the nurse would tell me that he was getting anxious in his kennel so they let him out to sit next to them. I pursued chemotherapy with Tiny for 10 months and it was as enjoyable as it possibly could’ve been. Unfortunately, we began running out of options and I decided to stop altogether. He crossed the rainbow bridge in October 🌈 Through it all Dr. Novosad was extremely knowledgeable, his team was professional and the entire hospital made us feel welcome. Tiny even had 2 emergency stays (damn grapes) while he was having treatment and the ER team was just as amazing. They lay out all the options for you, are honest about pricing, and very professional. If you are nervous about bringing your babies here, I can promise you won’t regret it!

We had an amazing experience with this veterinary team…. the entire staff is incredible, from the receptionists to the neurology team. Everyone was kind, knowledgeable, and supportive during a very stressful time. They took excellent care of my French bulldog, Bentley. He was seen by the neurologist, Dr. DuPont, who did a fantastic job explaining everything and making us feel at ease. Bentley was diagnosed with a neck herniated disc (cervical IVDD), and Dr. DuPont is treating him with pain management and strict rest in hopes of avoiding surgery. We’ve been dealing with this since December 22nd, and it has been overwhelming, but thanks to the care and guidance we’ve received, we are very hopeful Bentley will make a full recovery. I’m truly grateful for the compassion and expertise shown to both Bentley and our family. Highly recommend!
