Very friendly and you can tell they truly care. When nobody in our town of Alamogordo could get us in for 2 wks they took us right in and were absolutely great. Reassuring us of our concerns and recommended us to a surgeon right away. Highly recommend.

My girl lobes everyone in this clinic. When she sees where we are she starts wagging her tail and smiles. I will never take her anywhere else because she doesn't like the vets here in Alamogordo. It is well worth the trip up the mountain.

Normally, I visit the vet clinic near my home in Alamogordo. Ever since the day I went to Ruidoso Animal Clinic for an Emergency Visit, I can firmly say I will probably never go back to the one near my home. The vet here is so nice and thorough! She fully explained everything that was wrong with our fur baby and she answered all of our questions in depth.

Especially about their food and why it matters. To me, this is so important because veterinarians are the only voices our fur babies have. I love the relationship I have with the vet here and her immense knowledge of the animals. The hour drive is worth it because I know she cares. I have never felt this way with any previous veterinarians I've had in the past. Thank you Ruidoso Animal Clinic for being so helpful and above all, KIND!

Brought our beloved dog in and learned that she was terminally ill. Doctor and tech were so very kind and explained all options. Walked us through the very difficult end of her life with great compassion. Fees were reasonable and discussed prior to every step so no ugly surprises at the end. I highly recommend them!

We have nothing but positive experiences with both visits. They were quick and efficient with getting us scheduled and in for 2 surgeries. Both surgeries went very well and our sweet pup has recovered quickly and is again. They show true care and love for our dog just as we would which brings peace of mind when leaving them in a not so pleasant situation. Barley and the Miller's are all very grateful for the doctors and staff at Ruidoso Animal Clinic!

As an out of state vacationer I was skeptical about taking my Ripp to another vet. We got there and the staff was awesome very understanding and willing to help us in every way they could. It's now been a few days and Ripp has perked up and is acting like he feels so much better! I am very thankful for the team members and doctor who helped us! This is a very professional and well established clinic!

This is one of the best vet clinics I have ever used. They are very kind and knowledgeable about my beloved pets, and they actually care about their customers. I hope everyone will get to know exactly how much they are amazing to me and my friend.

Dr Thurston and the whole team was great. They were able to get me in the same day, incredible! Emergency visits are expensive in general, but they kept me informed about each item. Even though it was an hours drive, it was worth it. I might have to make them my regular vets.

As an out of country vacationer, my circumstances were difficult to accommodate. The clinic staff are professional and the veterinarians thorough in their assessment. Although "MY" schedule didn't permit this practice to perform the needed surgery, I feel confident they would've done it with the same care and attention given during the assessment. The clinic staff and veterinarian forwarded the documentation and aided by locating a practice for referral. I would most definitely recommend this practice.

We are new to the area, have 4 dogs and a cat, so need regular vet care. We feel very fortunate to have found Ruidoso Animal Clinic. We've had two of our dogs cared for already and are very impressed with the level of care and attention. One of our dogs is diabetic and Dr. Favis is helping us get control of her blood glucose, which has been difficult to maintain at a stable level. Thanks for your care!

We had trouble getting our pupper in to get seen everywhere in alamagordo. Emergency situation. But Ruidoso Animal Clinic got him in the next day and he is feeling much better! I will continue to drive 50 minutes to have my puppers seen here specifically. Where they care for the patient and not the depth of your pockets.

Very kind to my cats and always on top of what is ever wrong with them. They also take good care of them after spaying or neutering them.
