How I wish I had read the reviews before bringing my pets to Belton today. Since I was an old customer who had been there hundreds of times, I didn't think it would be necessary. I could not have been more clueless. I did not know that the practice was sold and, in so doing, lost all semblance of the practice it had been. Belton Vet Clinic used to be a country vet practice with very caring practitioners. Costs used to be reasonable and the care second to none. After waiting 3 hours in my car and an hour in the exam room, I was greeted by a very young, snippy and exceptionally condescending

Never even had my pet seen as I came in for my appointment and there were soooo many animals in there it was like a zoo and giving me anxiety and my dog was shaking. I was told several people had quit and several doctors had left and just didn't get a good feeling and read the reviews. Not comfortable with leaving my dog there. They wanted $50 for an exam before the dental cleaning I don't know what they're going to do that they need to charge $50 for because it doesn't include bloodwork it's just to talk to you! No thank you I went somewhere else!

Turned me away and refused to see my dog even though I had an appointment that I made two weeks earlier. Claim they left a voicemail on my phone to reschedule, which they didn't, the only thing I had from them was a text message *confirming* the appointment the day before. Just lying to cover their a**, which is not what you want from people giving your pets medical care. I don't know what happened to them, they used to be good. I won't be back if this is how they're running their business now.

Nearly waited 4hrs for a progesterone test, gave me same excuse that they had medical emergencies that needed to be taken care of. Please they have horrible organization. Front desk operators have no clue about animals they will lie and tell you anything to keep you waiting. Use to be the best spot to bring your dog for vet needs now has turned into a circus show giving you the run around. I will need to look for a better clinic closer to Austin.

If you are thinking of taking your pets to Belton Veterinary Clinic over by the Bell Co Expo Center, don't. They have sold owners at least twice in the past few years and their quality has plummeted as a result. They are incredibly unorganized, they will nickel and dime you until your bill is ridiculous, and they are not knowledgeable on what they are doing. I have a senior pet (13 years), and they did not know to do a senior examination on my pet instead instead of a routine visit. They also suggested that lab work and other preventative measures to explain issues was "there if we wanted

TL;DR Convenience doesn't outweigh poor quality and questionable ethics. Under the guise of safety, clinic owners are in direct opposition to national vet associations and all 50 state health services rabies vaccination standards for an obvious money grab. Our dogs including rescues have been under the care of BVC since 2016. Since this clinic was extremely close to home, had fair prices, and allowed walk-in visits, it seemed like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we learned early on you would almost never see the same doctor twice as this clinic appears to be a revolving door for entry-level

I called this morning to schedule a surgery appointment for my bulldog and the receptionist was so unbelievably rude. I had a couple schedule conflicts with the initial dates suggested for the surgery and then she gives the biggest attitude. This place was highly recommend to me because of the doctors, but there is no way I'm going to drive over an hour to this place and entrust them with my pet after this type of interaction...ridiculous.
