Animal Emergency Center of Temple- Belton

We had to let our sweet 16 year old dog Radar go when he suddenly collapsed, had difficulty breathing, and struggled using his hind legs. We knew it was time to let him pass peacefully and the staff at Animal Emergency Center was so very kind and caring from the gentleman who was the tech that took care of Radar to the person at the front desk who was so very kind to us. They made a very difficult day much much easier to bear by their warmth and caring. Thank you all.

I took my pet Guai Guai in for excessive coughing since he has a collapsed trachea. Although the team was busy with a ton of other patients, we were able to be seen in a timely manner. All the staff was super sweet and understanding of our concerns. They treated my baby very well and I knew he was in good care. I appreciate them letting me see him before he was admitted for overnight stay. I just want to shoutout Dr. Travis Twining for amazing and compassionate care, as well as Mike, who was super caring and made me feel at ease with my pet.

I had to put my dog down here. They were extremely busy! I heard most of, if not all the conversations between the fur babies parents and vet/ techs/ front desk. They were so caring and professional with everyone even though it was a very hectic time. I highly recommend them. Just remember they are doing the very best with their time in who needs what first, be patient and know when they get to you they will do right by you.They prioritize the best way one could under the circumstances. Rest easy my sweet boy- his last care ride❤🐶

The staff here are very friendly and I am so grateful that this clinic is here. They worked with my budget, to treat my 13 year old dog Rose, which is just so amazing and beautiful to me…to have such loving veterinary care from a compassionate Vet and staff, is truly a blessing for this community.

I had to take my Standard Poodle there last Sunday who was very ill and still is. This facility had the most kind and compassionate employees. They were very thorough in checking him and unfortunately for us he has a very serious condition know as "Evans Syndrome." They took excellent care of him until I was able to transfer him to his regular vet.
I also had to take another pet to be euthanized a few months back again they took her right in and did what was necessary to relieve her misery quickly. I would give them more than five stars
if it were possible.
I thank them again for all they have done for us!!

Carson sends his love and says thank you!

Such a great experience with our Bulldog Doug. Took the time to explain exactly what was going on and how to treat his eye situation. They also gave him so much love. Thank you !

The staff has always been wonderful, they are accommodating and understanding. They have seen all of my animals for several instances, from a male cat with a UTI, to a pug eating chocolate. The vets on staff have been incredibly thorough in their explanations of the situation and treatment. The techs have been attentive despite their stress. We also brought our senior kitty here to be put down and they made this incredibly difficult time just a little bit easier. My partner and I have only been able to sing their praises. Please note that wait times vary, sometimes you walk right in and go back, other times it's a 2+ hour wait, and that's okay! It's an Emergency Vet, you can't expect anything else, especially when animals in critical condition come first! Please call ahead, if your situation is critical, they will make getting your baby back and seen a priority! Thank you so much!!

It's truly difficult to express the depth of gratitude my husband and I feel for the staff here. We first met Dr. Powell two months ago, and today, Dr. Kingstad took care of our 16-year-old heeler, Callie. From the moment we walked in, every member of the team, from reception to veterinary tech to physician, showed unparalleled empathy. They anticipated our needs and understood the fear and sadness we were experiencing. We are filled with immense gratitude for your compassionate and caring hearts. Thank you for giving Callie the best possible care and for making her life as full as possible. We'll be sure to treat her to the filet mignon that Dr. Kingstad "prescribed." ❤"

Took our kitten here yesterday when he had an unexpected problem over the weekend. Staff was VERY caring and kind and took time to answer all our questions. Wish they offered regular care! Would definitely come back if needed and highly recommend!!

We were unfortunate to have to come here one Thursday evening after our cat Malibu deteriorated quickly in a span of a day. Unfortunately her prognosis did not look good and we sadly had to put her to sleep. The doctor and vet techs during the who process showed our baby so much compassion, I’m glad that she went out surrounded by so much love. A few days after the ordeal we received an unexpected letter in the mail, it was a letter from the staff giving their condolences for Malibu. The letter meant more than I can even put into words, they really went above and beyond not only for Malibu but for us. The pain we felt when we lost Malibu was great but the staff definitely made a sad situation a little better.

We had a sick cat & our normal vet could not see us. Dr. Gage and all the staff were terrific - professional & thorough. I would not hesitate to use them again if we ever need quick, competent help.

Our fur baby was sick, we knew that time for him to go to heaven was near. When we got there he was looked at right away. The vet lady came in and after examining him she delivered the bad news as we could clearly see he couldn't get up anymore. Our fur baby passed away that night and they made us feel like they were part of our journey of letting our fur baby go. A couple of days after we get a card from them giving us their condolences. Today, I got the call that my fur baby's ashes were ready to be picked up. I cried on the way home. I recommend them, because they took great care of our fur baby on his last day and were with us every step of the way till we left the office without him.

I took my dog here and the staff were more than accommodating for my dog and and myself. They were very understanding and comforting for my dog and I and also very flexible with payments. I recommend coming here if your pet is ever in dire need of medical attention.

Amazing people and very accommodating! Came here due to my cat having a urethral blockage and they put him in surgery right away. They called multiple times a day to keep me updated in regards to Chopper’s condition. All the Doctors were awesome! Choppers doing well now.

I knew when I loaded up my sweet boy in the car, he likely wasn't coming home with me. I took him to Animal Emergency Center to see what I could do for him to ease his pain. When I got there, they kindly helped me get my dog inside as I had my 2 kids with me. The staff was super kind and caring from the second we got there the tech explained what they would do and then sent the vet in. He came and sat on the floor with us and asked questions about my boy while he examined him he asked about his life and I knew he genuinely cared he wasn't just talking. He told me he could run tests to confirm if I wanted but my fears were right he had a tumor in his tummy. I knew then I had to make a choice and I chose to let him go and be pain free. The vet explained how the process would work and asked me how much I wanted my kids around. I asked if they could be there while he was sedated but not when he received the medication to put him to sleep. The receptionist got paper and pens and sat with my kids and colored so I could be there to say goodbye to my boy. The vet thanked me for being so brave and not letting my dog suffer. We had over 10 yrs of loving him, and I was so thankful for that. The choice was easy knowing he was in pain but so hard to let my best bud go. We opted to have him cremated and brought back home to us. He came back in a beautiful box with his name on top, with a card and a few other things. For it being the worst day, the staff made this experience calm and loving. I highly recommend them if you need quick care for your pet.

We had an extremely unexplainable incident with our dog. Had in not been for the staff, I do not believe he would have made it. I’m extremely thankful for their service and while I hope to never need to use it again, I’m thankful to know that it is there if ever needed.

Under the circumstances, the reason for my visit was not planned or a pleasant one. I had to make a very hard decision for my little girl (Paris-Ana) that I had for 18 years. From the moment I walked into the Animal Emergency Center, the staff was comforting and supportive. The entire staff did everything possible to try and ease the pain and very sympathetic. They treated and handled Paris-Ana with such care and compassion. The center took care of all the after arrangements, which helped out tremendously. Once I received Paris-Ana back, I was truly amazed on how they put her to rest. They gave me peace of mind and lifted my spirits. In closing, the entire team at the center was wonderful and I can’t thank them enough…Thank you all from the bottom of my heart and you all are truly amazing! Sincerely Jackie

Very respectful and helped get me in the right direction for helping my pet. They were very quick about addressing the concern and issues I was having over the symptoms my dog was showing and my worries over them. They were uncessescful in getting the urine test due to my doggo just not having the means, and even though of no fault of their own they didn't add that charge to me. The entire staff was very professional and had good character. The male assistant that helped was very good at explaining everything to us. He came in with 2 different billing and treatment plans gor us to choose from, both with follow up recommendations for my own Vet and reassuring instructions on where we were with how my dog was at that time and moment.
We were able to leave their more comfortable with the situation and follow up with our Vet the next day and our dog was back to herself and great within a few.more days later.
I would gladly take my animals into this facility again if it comes down to it, of course we never hope that it is a scenario that we have to experience with our furry loved ones.

I brought my dog in over the weekend. We had to make a very hard decision to put her down at 330am. The staff here were amazing. They were very thoughtful and understanding. They allowed me to run home to grab my son so he could say goodbye, as we had not expected the outcome. We are so devastated by the lose. But I am so thankful these folks were here for us through through this difficult time. I wish I got the name of the two nurses and drs who assisted through the process. But they were Amazing. Thank you so much for being there for us and taking care of the cremation services. We just brought her home today! I would recommend this place 100%!

Great people, great docs, and clean facility! They were perfect with our boy whiskey even though he can be very difficult to deal with!
