I brought my cat to be neutered about three years ago, which is why I felt comfortable bringing other pets to be cared for here. BIG MISTAKE. One week ago, we brought our 40lb. shepherd/​lab mix to be spayed and vaccinated. As far as I knew, the procedure went well and she was cared for well. However upon our return home, she was absolutely covered in fleas and now, we suspect mange. Her incision is not healing well, but I WILL NOT be bringing her back to this place to be inspected. We have tried calling their normal office number as well as their «24 hour emergency» hotline several times only to have no answer, or be hung up on! I am appalled at how we have been treated, and I am fearful of what happens behind those closed doors. The prices of this place are appealing, but definitely not worth the mistreatment. I am thoroughly disappointed.

Staff was very nice and quick to assist all the customers during drop off. I had my dog checked in and dropped off for her dental in 20 minutes. The Veterinarian was very thorough when talking though the dental with me and seemed to really care about the health of my pet.
The dental is more affordable here than at other vets, but it is not at the sacrifice of the care or service.
Thanks TCAP Denton :)

TCAP is the most affordable place around and I have been willing to drive 35 – 40 minutes just for these prices. Even more affordable when you can use a deal from their e-​mailing list or a discount deal site like Amazon Local. The cost of heartworm medication was also much cheaper than other vets I’ve visited.
Aside from price, I have visited this facility two times and both were excellent experiences. First time was for annual shots for my dog, and the second time for my dog’s first ever dental cleaning. You have to get there early because there is a line and paperwork to fill out. To my surprise, the dogs receive their shots right there in that very entrance you check in at. The staff member was sweet to my dog and the procedure was quick.
Second visit was for dental cleaning that I received an email discount on. Man was it a deal! Most places I googled for this cost between $ 150-​$ 250 more than TCAP. I dropped my dog off at 8am and they called me to tell me how it went and we were out of there by 3:30pm. His teeth were completely free of tartar and plaque.
I will definitely be back every time my dog needs anything and will continue to take advantage of the deals from the mailing list or other deal websites.

I took my dog to get neutered on Tuesday this week and everything well with the surgey. The staff was extremely nice and made me feel very comfortable, they explained the post op care and were extremely detailed. I only had one issue… once my dog left he had fleas and they were all over him. So, I would advise that if you decide to take your pet to this location please ensure that you give them some type of flea or tick prevention prior and post visit.

Love this place. So affordable and fast. They’ve always been so kind to our Lilly. You just have to make sure what days they are in Denton. Even on Thursdays, people who work can get there.

They provide affordable services, so there’s no excuse to not care for your pets.

Used them recently to have my 1 year old Mini Aussie neutered. The staff were friendly and welcoming to Willie Nelson. We did the surgery but also opted to get 3 days of pain meds for him. No issues whatsoever with his incision or anything else for that matter. Would definitely recommend and use again!

Took our picky Pomeranian to TCAP for the first time, and she was frightened at first, but calmed down after the first shot because the two staffers working with her were so kind as they gave sots and clipped nails. Everyone was efficient, and there was no wait as we went late morning instead of when they first opened.

First of all, if you want a pet, be sure you can afford one for what life may throw at it. I like the idea that TCAP came about from, but I’m not sure if I will use them again even though they provide spay/​neuter for a third of the cost of a vet. The front of house reception and processing is what you would expect for a cut rate, assembly line business. You’re welcomed out of necessity and routine. As for the actual back of house «service» quality I cannot vouch for since I was not there, but my husky seems to be recovering very quickly. If you opt to print you paperwork at home and fill it out prior, bring all the pages and remember the rabies paperwork.
I selected a $ 55 spay for a 35lb dog. Pain med combo, Ecollar, and anti biotics. Because I left the house without her rabies paperwork I opted for the $ 5 rabies vaccine to be provided as well. Showed up at 7:40am and was provided the option to pickup my dog between 1:30−3pm. The take home meds were 12hr 25mg Carprofen tablets and amoxicillin 500mg capsules and were easily administered by embedding in a glob of peanut butter. After the first few days I picked up some canned food to promote appetite, and purchased an alternative onesie (I plan to need it later for another dog) in place of the Ecollar even though she was quick to learn how to function with the Elizabethan on. Thoracic region looked swollen but this passed after appetite returned.
Remainder of day after surgery: she followed predictions and hid in spare bedroom closet and stared at a wall. No appetite for food/​water noticed. Now urination/​deification done. Occasionally expressed discomfort from whining and clumsiness with collar. Showed limited range of walking
First day home: still no appetite for food or water until evening which was encouraged with canned food. Occasionally expressed aggression through growling and «crying» had seemed to diminish. Finally urinated the evening of this day. Walking range significantly improved but I still carried her most distances and up and down elevations.
Second day home: still some aggression expressed through growling. Mobility has greatly improved and gets around on her own. Distance doesn’t seem to be a bother and elevation changes of twice her height can be cleared easily and incision site looks good with no major redness, bruising, or scabbing. First defecation on this morning since right before surgery. She still does not enjoy the collar, but I have not removed it at all. The snug onesie will arrive in two more days and I will use that afterwards instead. Collar causes her to chase food bowls because the raised platform they’re supposed to sit on cannot be used with cone.

I got my dog neutered here and it was a wonderful experience. He was okay afterwards. But this review is for his most recent experience. We brought him in for his yearly rabies vaccine and the veterinarian was rude and said we could not get the vaccine. She told me to go get it from another veterinarian. Umm I thought I you guys were a vaccine clinic. Okay bye. I might try the other locations, but not this one.

Staff is always friendly. You can’t really beat their trifexis prices. I am disappointed with their dental service. They do teeth extractions but only if they’re the front teeth and if they are loose. I was contacted in order for them to inform me on how my dog had 2 cracked molars and I needed to go pay another vet to put her under and extract them. Obviously if I’m using tcap services is because I can’t afford to pay a vet the 250+ for dental services. I was also not too impressed with their cleaning job.

Stay away. Stay very far away.
Register your animal at a respected local vet that you’ll have a lasting relationship with, and that is hosted by qualified professionals. On top of the extra charges for spaying having to bring my dog back in to a qualified vet to redo everything they did as my pet has a thick grey and green discharge and swollen knots in the affected area, will end up paying more than double for a simple operation. I didn’t even think to call them back to have their «professionals» fix the mistake. Take all the negative reviews into strong consideration.

REALLY: 3 stars
Bumped up 1 because of the deal (voucher)
I drove almost an hour here because I had a voucher. It’s in a «run down» strip but I’m not from this city so it seems like a small «town» area. Maybe that’s part of their look.
The employees were nice, I assume; They welcomed me and the doctor opened the door. My dog HATES the vet, it’s like taking children to doctor, dentist or first day of daycare.
The doctor weighed my dog and my dog wasnt cooperating so he takes his foot and «sweeps» him on the scale… okay. my dog didn’t fuss, no big deal, but really? Do you «sweep» a child? (animals are family)
My dog is pretty fat (I admit, he gets lots of loving & he’s old) so finding his veins was hard because of his short legs & fur all over. The lady was sweet and was trying her best and I felt bad because at this point my baby’sfur was everywhere and he was drooling uncontrollably (He was soooo scared).
The doctor decided he needed to be rough and just picked him up and had the «lets get it over» mentally (I understood) & my baby was so frantic he actually pooped (ugh) from his fear. They were pretty quick & I felt so bad for my baby (& the girl) I insisted I could get his nails trimmed else where but she did it anyways. (he fights a lot)
The doctor was nice and sweet, ensuring it was okay but I could tell my baby was a hassle (which is why I drove 40 – 45 mins to this vet cause of reviews & the deal)
All in all, my baby’s doing fine. He’s just a diva. Buuuut would I be back? No. Pretty sure they knew that also w/​the voucher I got. I’ll rather spend the $ 100 at my clinic near home then drive there again (total cost calculated to my gas anyways). I went because my sister bought it already & had me run her errands.

Just an FYI to everyone that would like to go here because «Vet rates gouge you,» my roomies cat’s spay was $ 75 after all their ridiculous extra fees. I took my cat to our regular vet, and paid $ 105. I think $ 30 extra is a fair price to put your fur babies in the hands of a real vet that will spend time with your animal after to make sure they are okay.

I use this place for my furry baby’s vaccinations. they are so friendly and quick. I prefer this place over any other because they don’t charge an arm and a leg for just a regular set of vaccinations.

I’ve used TCAP twice before and had very good experiences. I am grateful these folks exist. Vet costs these days have only risen and many even seem to gouge you. TCAP does spay /​neuters, vaccines, dentals and testing for things like heartworm or FIV/​FELV.
Services like this are necessary when you want to make sure your babies are properly cared for, but money is tight. Whether you are low income or just plain not wealthy– and want to vaccinate your pets without the prices doubled and office visits tacked on, this is a great option.
I recently took my two cats to the mobile clinic that came to Addison for their vaccines. I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought maybe the shots were given inside the trailer. I have to say I was very nervous that the vaccines weren’t done in an enclosed space. For dogs, this is fine — they are on a leash. For cats, I was so worried and jumpy that they were going to get spooked and take off. They are vaccinated in the open rear of the van. The vet was wonderful and handled this expertly and really, it was *I* who needed a shot… of a sedative to calm down. If you worry this will be an issue, just go to one of their office clinics instead of a mobile one. They don’t do vaccines by appointment; you go within a certain window of hours. Be prepared to stand in line, but they run this very efficiently and smoothly and had us in and out. They were great.
Another time I took my little guy to the Denton location to be neutered. These go by appointment. You’re instructed to bring your pet the morning of that date, and there is a line outside. But again, these folks are very good and have you moving right through. I found all of the staff to be friendly and very helpful. The vet tech that I peppered with a million questions was nothing short of reassuring and wonderful. She reminded me that I was asking all those questions because it’s obvious my boy is loved.
Yes, you do pay a separate charge for the neuter and extra $ for the antibiotics and optional e-​collar. It was still a fraction of what it would have cost elsewhere. They do not do pre-​bloodwork before the procedure. If you are concerned how your baby will react to the anesthesia, I suggest doing this elsewhere beforehand.
I dropped him off that morning and picked him up after they called to tell me I could. They were very prompt about that too. My guy did just great and his little toot-​toots healed up in no time.

these folks do amazing things for animals. I’ve taken my dog and cat their for their shots and they were so friendly and efficient. love them!

I’ve used TCAP for shots, heartworm testing and dentals and I’ve been pleased with every procedure. They offer a mobile low cost vaccination clinic every few months here in The Colony so my first experience was through that service. Since then I have been to their Denton location on multiple occasions.
The staff has all been very friendly and helpful. They not only seem to genuinely care for my pets, they care to take the time to fully inform me.
I continue to use their online pharmacy and have had no problems with orders or delivery. I once contacted TCAP through a Facebook message to ask about the shampoo they had used on my dog because he smelled amazing. Not only did they respond quickly, they included a photo of the product.
While there are times you’ll be asked to line up and the process will feel assembly line, it’s just a side effect of their effort to fit as many animals in as possible. While this might sound like it’s for their profit, I assure you, they don’t charge enough to be raking it in.
If you want a stable, friendly no-​fuss environment, check them out. If your pet has a chronic condition, you might consider a standard vet in order to form an ongoing relationship.

Really great prices, you can prepay before online (option to put an animal shelters name for proof), website is up to date and easy to use. I also got a call a couple days before with reminders to take food up the night before, ect.
It does take a while to get an appointment so be prepared. We waited 4 weeks.
Get there early! People start lining up outside and only 5 groups are let in at a time. I’d advise keeping count. The staff is busy working to get people through the line and it was 30 degrees this morning.
They give lots of post op info and a number to call.
Label your crate and don’t put a blanket you want to see again inside.
I’m not sure the kitties are able to use any kind of box throughout the day, so bring a towel.
Great staff!

Was looking for a low cost solution to have my puppy neutered. this was the place! They were also able to do his shots and wormer and pulled a baby tooth. All under $ 200. Note they are moving to a new location! Go to this place!
