Animal Hospitals near Highland Village

“Highland Village Animal Medical Center is the best! We have been bringing our furry babies there for 20+ years. We moved to Denton two years ago and still make the drive to HV because of the outstanding care and love they provide. Everyone there is outstanding, from doctors, to technicians to front desk. And Dr. Lorien Schoelkopf is so very gentle with our 14 year old Schnauzer/Poodle and our 7 year old Australian Cattle dog/American Staffordshire. Love these folks!! Always thankful for their outstanding care.“

“My cat has been going here for a couple years after they were able to get her in due to an emergency. Recently, Milo (my cat) has been seen by Dr. Herrod who has been amazing in figuring things out for her. She was able to see Milo prior to a procedure to rule out an infection and has given many recommendations to help her. I am really grateful for this as my cat is my little baby and having someone care for her and not make it seem like it's about a cash-grab is relieving.“

“Dr Bitter is the absolute best. I would never take my dogs anywhere else . Unbelievable care !“

“Both Jack and Billie despise people outside of family. For some reason they tolerate everyone here (emphasis on tolerate). As antisocial as these two cats are, that says something to me about the place. Apparently, they see the same kindness and devotion there that I do. Couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.“

“This is the only place I trust with our sweet little Beagle when we travel! I love that I get text updates throughout his stay. So thankful for a staff that gives lots of love while we are away!“

“We had to bring in our sweet Dexter for an emergency splenectomy due to a ruptured mass. It was such a traumatic day, but everyone from the front desk staff to the vet techs to our surgeon were incredibly kind, patient and helpful. Throughout surgery and the recovery process they were honest and informative, and let us know that we could call or come in any time to check on our boy. I think we interacted with just about everyone on the team over those few days and that level of care was consistent across the board. I'm endlessly grateful to them for saving Dex and for taking such incredible care of him while he recovered. He's back to playing and enjoying life and it wouldn't be possible without these incredible professionals. Thank you!!! <3“

“Dr. Pagano and her staff are top notch! They are very caring and undersetting; it is obvious they love what they do!“

“They were very kind and put my dog and I at ease. Dr Moore was great and gave me logical suggestions that would not add lots of time to our routine. They even followed through with the followup call to be sure he was doing well after his shots (our usual vet retired and they even got all his vet records).“

“My little girl Sheba was sick, coughing and wheezing it ended up being a heart murmur. Not knowing of her condition because she reallly didnt show any signs other thancought and sneezing. So, being iced and snowed in, I had to wait to take her to the hospital. The staff was honest about her condition and my options. I'm glad I left and took my baby home for her last moments. My grandson and I got to say goodbye, as she passed in my arms. I would not want it any other way. I'm very sad, but she isn't in pain
any longer, although she didn't show it.
Google why does your dog get heart murmurs. Keep an eye on your baby and don't forget to give them their meds, which I did, but it helps, they say. These photos are just recent.“

“Our 13 year old Golden has bad arthritis & regular electric acupuncture & B-12 shots from Dr. Wessel-Calbrix have worked WONDERS! Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!“

“It was my first time taking one of my fur babies there and they got us in very quick. They were super helpful and kind towards us. I appreciate all their help and hardwork. 100/10!“

“(2026 Edit)
Still bringing her an hour to this vet, and still phenomenal

(2021 Original)
PRICE: extremely under what I have experienced and they have never tried to get me to do a service that was not needed.

SERVICE: Genuine and gentle with my dog.

HONESTY: Like no other. I had one vet tell me my dog needed surgery within 2 weeks to remove a mole. Called South Denton and they told me to wait a few weeks, and the bump went down on its own...

I took my dog here while in college. I moved to Plano and it seems I cannot trust any other vet. I still make the drive to Denton to take my girl here.“

“Ive been going to Dr Mark Moynaugh since 1998 when he sat at night with my Akita,Mishu, that had been hit by a car. The car drove away but the pick up that was behind pick her up and saw Westgate Vet on her tag and Dr Moynaugh sat with her until I returned from a football game and got the message of the accident. He had my heart right then. He has seen me through 6 more dogs ( 3 currently) and I couldn’t have picked a more knowledgable caring Vet than Dr Mark Moynaugh.“

“Dr Shaffer has cared for all of my dogs (and one cat) since 1996. He is simply the best. He truly knows and does what is best for our critters. We “dabbled” with other vets when we moved, but quickly went back to Dr Shaffer…he is worth the drive?“

“We will be forever grateful for the support and care Dr.Pagano and her assistants, Amanda, Lauren and Sarah showed during our difficult time. Thank you so much for your time, love, expertise, and care on behalf of our sweet Brie . I don't know how we would have managed this without your expert care, kindness, and understanding as we struggled through the hardships of canine lymphoma. No matter how difficult it got, we knew we could turn to you for help, answers, and advice. Our sweet little Brie was always so happy to see you and the girls in the office, even when she wasn't feeling well. It spoke volumes to us that she wagged her tail through every visit, even during her final days.“
