fiveevansfiveevans ★★★★★ The staff & dr's are amazing! They are very thorough. The dr talked to me to make sure that I understood everything.Sydney L.Sydney L. ★★★★★ We said see you later to our Ellie this afternoon. After 12 years together, our family couldn’t imagine saying goodbye or what that experience would be like. I wanted to take a moment to ease anyone’s mind who may be looking through these reviews as they get ready to say goodbye to their sweet pet.Dr. Sarah and her team took such good care of us. From the moment we walked in, they were by our side and guiding us through our first time losing a pet. They treated Ellie with kindness and compassion. She was relaxed being with such sweet people. Everything was explained to us, they gave us time to process each step, and made us feel as prepared as we could feel during this time.Dr. Sarah and team… thank you. Thank you for taking such good care of our baby the last few weeks as her health started to decline. She was always excited to go to the vet and see her friends there. Thank you for giving us a quiet and calm space to say goodbye to our girl. Thank you for loving her just us much as we do. I know your job isn’t easy, seeing families lose their loved ones… but you hold it together and support them through the journey and I know my family couldn’t be more thankful for you.So… if you’re at the point in your pets life where you know it’s time to say your goodbyes… I will forever recommend Animal Care Daybreak. Thank you for taking of our sweet girl.E S.E S. ★★★★★ HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FIRST-RATE CLINIC. Dr. Amanda has seen my precious Sasha five times since we moved to Salt Lake City, at a good time and now during difficult times for the little one. She is exceptional — knowledgeable and compassionate and generous with her time. Her team is wonderful, my thanks to Janae and Laura and Kimmie and the two Emmas!Whitey GWhitey G ★★★★★ Dr Cassie was so kind with my little Bronx, as was all of the staff. They even followed up on Monday to see how he was feeling. This is by far the best veterinary clinic I have been to. I highly recommend itMichelle S.Michelle S. ★★★★★ Great service and staff. I called in requesting for a same-day appointment for my kitty who had bloody stool this morning. They were so kind and were able to get us in to be seen within the hour. We are new to daybreak and this vet, but the intake was smooth and everything was well communicated. We will be establishing care with our cats at this Vet. The cost seemed average/affordable and cost was also well communicated. Overall highly recommend.Tracy B.Tracy B. ★★★★★ Great place. The staff were very nice and helpful. The Veterinarian was excellent. She called and took time to listen and gave great advice. My dog wasn't traumatized either. Definitely a wonderful place to take your pet!!!Ana S.Ana S. ★★★★★ The team at Animal Care in Daybreak are excellent. We were able to get an appointment the same day. The nurse and doctor listened to my concerns about my senior fur baby who suffers from arthritis and seemed to be in pained. Since it was our first time visiting the clinic, they did a thorough examination and ran tests to identify the problem and gave me options for treatment to help better manage my dog’s pain. They also identified a few other issues for which my dog is now under treatment. I highly recommend the team at Animal Care.Dawn T.Dawn T. ★★★★★ I love Animal Care Daybreak! My little Frenchie is "special". Dr. Cassie and staff are amazin! I am definitely grateful that I have such a loving and caring team taking care of, not only my dog but me too.Fatima A.Fatima A. ★★★★★ This place is awesome! They had me drop my cat off once the appointment was done. The actual doctor contacted me not the front desk. I thought that was incredible to have the actual doctor contact me to let me know how the visit went. And I was also able to just drop my cat off and come back later. Super convenient, super clean, extremely friendly and so professional.Taylor V.Taylor V. ★★★★★ Seriously the best. I drive from SLC to SJ just for them. They make my dogs feel so happy and loved. They are fit both my dogs in today due to emergencies and never made me feel rushed or a bother 🙂Mindi P.Mindi P. ★★★★★ Dr. Amanda and the entire staff were so wonderful when we had to put our dog, Hope, down. From her first symptoms to having to say goodbye went so fast and we were not prepared. We are so thankful for the kindness that was shown to my husband and I and for the great care that Hope received for the last six years and especially on that day. Thank you!TimTim ★★★★★ Very friendly, efficient and Dr explained to me in regular layman terms.HIGHLY RECOMMEND.Jessika R.Jessika R. ★★★★★ Dr. Cassie and her team are fantastic. They were so kind and gentle about our dog and options for how to help him. Ultimately it ended up being time to let him go. They had a comfortable and soothing room that had a side exit so we had privacy when we were ready to leave. They gave us plenty of time saying good bye. They thoroughly explained things and helped my kids understand what was happening and what our dog would experience. We had to put down our other dog 2.5 years ago and they were too young then to be involved but they’re tweens now and wanted to be there with us to help our best boy on to his next journey. I will be forever grateful for their bedside manner and kindness.Loni G.Loni G. ★★★★★ They really care about the fur babies..... Good peopleGia B.Gia B. ★★★★★ We found Animal Care Daybreak while desperate to find someone who could provide an urgent second opinion for our pups injury. They were able to squeeze us in quickly and provide exceptional care to our dog who we felt had been dismissed prior. We are so grateful to have found Dr Sykes and plan to make her our home base!Rachael B.Rachael B. ★★★★★ Unlike a lot of places around herre, this is not owned by some huge corporation so when they recommend care -- it's because your animal actually needs it! not because they're trying to squeeze extra profit out of you to chase infinite growth.They're very kind to my very anxious cat.Jordan W.Jordan W. ★★★★★ Lovely doctors and facility. Love the humans rights support, too 🩵🤍🩷RyanRyan ★★★★★ Staff was awesome. Beer was tasty. Food was good. Nice covered patio space to sit outside if you want to.KendallKendall ★★★★★ 10/10 experience every time! We take our dog Mylo in for checkups and for nail trims and he always leaves so happy! Amazing staff, always pretty quick going in and out, and just all around a great experience.Mark DMark D ★★★★★ Fantastic! Took care of my Savannah and was very thorough with instruction!Kira H.Kira H. ★★★★★ I have only been to this clinic twice, both were life threatening emergency situations and the staff has been amazing. Both Dr. Amanda and Dr. Sarah were both very kind, understanding, and willing to work with my regular vet even after seeing my dog. Hailey the technician is also very wonderful. It’s very hard for me to leave my dog but I know Hailey and the doctors will take great care of her while she’s there and always keep me updated which I appreciate.Porter B.Porter B. ★★★★★ Love this place they always take great care of my dog the doctors and csr team are always amazingRylie P.Rylie P. ★★★★★ Front desk, nursing staff, and doctors are all very kind, efficient, and informative when it comes to your pet and their needs. I will always recommend animal care daybreak to my friends and family!Lucas T.Lucas T. ★★★★★ We took our pitbull here to get 6 broken molars pulled and they treated her so good. They sent updates and took amazing care of our Gracie girl. It was way cheaper than I was expecting it to be. They were so sweet and caring. We will definitely return when we have issues with our pets. Hopefully not, but if we have to, I know they'll be taken care of with respect and real care given.Joe B.Joe B. ★★★★★ Everyone in the reception and tech team is super friendly and helpful! At Animal Care Daybreak, they really treat you like family! While I was waiting at the reception office, there wasn't a moment that I wasn't having an engaging conversation with one of the friendly receptionists! Sasha and Rhaegon were super helpful and answered all of my questions. Additionally, having FOBBV playing on the TV really enhanced my Animal Care Experience! 👍m wm w ★★★★★ We live in St George, but gladly made the trek up to Daybreak as we have heard so many good things about this clinic.... all those things we heard we 100% true. From the gals at the front desk, to Pearl's Nurse Noelle, and then of course Dr Cassie (and a special check in from Dr Pam), ... Pearl was loved on and treated as their own four legged family member. They all kept close contact with us during the procedure (laparoscopic spay) and recovery, and answered all of our many questions. We highly recommend Animal Care Daybreak without hesitation. Thanks to all of you for loving our sweet girl and making her (and us) feel comfortable.Andy M.Andy M. ★★★★★ Amazing staff. I’ve gone in for several surgical procedures for my cat and they have done an amazing job each time. I really appreciate how thorough they are in providing real time updates, printouts of procedures, recommendations, and post surgery instructions. Wanted to give a special thanks to Dr. Sarah, my cat has been prone to urate stones and has help provide a medicine solution that has appeared to reduce the formation of these stones. I’ve been told by other vets there was nothing I could do and I’m grateful for Dr. Sarah’s insights in providing the best solution for my baby.Raquel M.Raquel M. ★★★★★ ExcellentCaleb C.Caleb C. ★★★★★ Best team of people in the business. Very caring and professional. Thank you for helping me with Simon.Carrie L.Carrie L. ★★★★★ They were wonderful with my sister and her dog. Very caring, knowledgeable, and accommodating.Matthew C.Matthew C. ★★★★★ Very good service. Quick turn around and handled my kitten with care. The stitches were masterfully done.tatumn M.tatumn M. ★★★★★ I just moved to South Jordan and needed a vet for my two cats. They easily got me in and were so friendly and compassionate. I then had to go out of town and my cats were struggling at their boarding place. I called Animal Care Daybreak and spoke to Rachel and she delivered medication to my cats and they were able to calm down. I am so thankful for them and their compassion and care for my babies!Guy B.Guy B. ★★★★★ Dr. Sarah has now seen both of our Yorkies(Whiskey Ray and Porter), as well as our blue tortie(Daisy Mittens). She has been amazing to work with! The staff has been more than accommodating as well.Whiskey Ray had surgery to remove bladder stones last month. His recovery straddled the holidays but this place stuck by us the whole way and sacrificed their own time to help us navigate it.This is our 3rd vet in as many years. I'm happy to say that our search has ended! Seeing how they treat our fur babies made the decision for us. I have no doubt that they have our best interest in mind at every step.Natascha A.Natascha A. ★★★★★ The services we received from Dr. Lauren when our kitty was sick were amazing, everyone there is so professional and caring like it is their pet they are taking care of.Sarah C.Sarah C. ★★★★★ I absolutely LOVE everyone that cares for my pets at Animal Care Daybreak. All of the front end ladies are so great and Dr. Sarah is so knowledgable, easy to talk to, and it's apparent she truly has my pets best interest in mind while also allowing me to make the final decisions that I feel most comfortable with. On top of all that, I never would have imagined that my dogs would actually get excited to go to the vet and see all of their friends! I am so grateful that we have this team to keep our dogs and cat happy and healthy!Susan N.Susan N. ★★★★★ This clinic is excellent! We take both of our dogs there and the doctors and nurses treat them like they are their own. The staff has always been kind to us and I am thankful they are close by.KaraKara ★★★★★ I recently relocated to Utah from Arizona and this vet clinic has been my favorite find. Every doctor has been very kind and competent. Dr. Sarah saved my little pup’s leg which was broken while playing at a nearby dog park and I am forever grateful.Dr. Cassie was so caring and empathetic during a recent euthanasia of my elderly dog. It was an awful situation with no good options during a stressful time in my life. I still think of her kind words. I appreciate her so much.Dr. Amanda is also so sweet and caring.I would trust any of them with the care of my pets.The front desk staff and technicians are also very kind and helpful.

Animal Care Daybreak made us feel as though we had been clients for years; they got us in the day after we called and operated on her quickly and for a reasonable cost. They communicated exceptionally well before, during, and after the operation and have been available to answer any questions we have since. They have earned a lifelong customer for our sweet doggos!Katelyn C.Katelyn C. ★★★★★ Clean facility, caring techs, & great doctors. 🩵🐺JHVHJHVH ★★★★★ It was a good experience and the staff attentive to my fur baby. Will come back as neededJ KJ K ★★★★★ We've had a good experience here overall. Just like anything having to do with the health of loved ones, we've had some ups and downs. Nobody is perfect.However, the current staff seem to genuinely care and have seen us through some pretty tough times.They're not inexpensive but the location is perfect for us so it's worth paying a little more.Whitney R.Whitney R. ★★★★★ They got my dog in right away and took good care of him. Would recommend this place.Kandi P.Kandi P. ★★★★★ Every single Dr is amazing and so wonderful with both our pups, even the crazy hyper one. They are always friendly at the front desk and are on top of everything. We love Dr, Sarah and Dr. Cassie.Arlene M.Arlene M. ★★★★★ This is my new veterinary place for the care of my dogs! ❤️ this place has very friendly, caring staff who were able to see my mini longhaired dachshund the same day for stiffness and back pain with right side weakness. They treated him then called me explainng in detail what was going on and several treatment options. They addressed my concerns as well as answering my questiins. Max is doing well and getting back to being Max. I would recommend this place for the care of your pet. For almost 20 years I took my dogs to Copperview Animal Hospital. I love Dr Stefanoff he is very caring showing compassion and giving wonderful treatment to my dogs but cannot say the same for some of the other vets there. Although he did try to make it right which shows his character and intergity unfortunately, it cannot change what happened. If you can be assured to get Dr Stefanoff you and your pet will be treated above and beyond with great care and compassion but can't say that of the others in there. Unfortunately, I cannot be assured of getting him when my pet needs care so I will no longer be going there. Again Dr Stefanoff is great! But I am now a fan of Animal Care Daybreak! Thank you being there.Taylor W.Taylor W. ★★★★★ Great friendly docs. Just more expensive than other vets.Rachel R.Rachel R. ★★★★★ We LOVE this place! Our two adult cats, ages 4 and 6, used to absolutely hate going to the vet, but not anymore thanks to Dr. Amanda and her kind nurses. Previously, we never left an appointment without someone being scratched, but Dr. Amanda took the time to get to know our furry friends and provided the safest environment they could ask for.Recently, our new 6-week-old kitten needed surgery to remove a blockage. Dr. Sarah worked quickly and diligently to ensure our baby was in and out without any complications. We're meeting Dr. Lauren tomorrow for his check-up and are already excited for the visit.We highly recommend this place for everything from scheduling to care. If you need a vet with an amazing staff, this is the place to go. This is a place that doesn’t traumatize the fur balls 🙂‍↕️🫶🏼 Also, Emma at the front is amazing!Elliot L.Elliot L. ★★★★★ Always great to have a family vet nearby ! This place has done awesome and always goes above and beyond with the cars of our 2 Great Danes Poppy and Juno ! We recently had a sick dog and had to undergo some extreme surgery’s but lucky for us the doctors here really know what they are doing and have a lot of skill we are happy to say our dog has been doing very well for almost a year now !Jocelyn B.Jocelyn B. ★★★★★ We’re from Arizona and I have two female boxers. One we adopted from a shelter before moving to Utah. She was diagnosed with valley fever and we have had such a hard time finding someone to treat her here. The team here is absolutely phenomenal. Dr Sarah took the time to review our dogs notes and lab work from previous facilities and immediately called me back willing to take her case. Our other boxer had a UTI and when calling to schedule, the receptionist was willing to have her come in immediately to be taken care of. This place truly cares for your fur babies. They are so compassionate and patient. They are truly the best place in the city!!!John K.John K. ★★★★★ Great job caring for my furry kid's. German, and two mini pomeranian. Thanks team.Neil M.Neil M. ★★★★★ Can't say enough good things about this establishment. All of the staff were excellent, during a difficult time. I can't speak highly enough of this place and their serviceDreDre ★★★★★ I wish I could give more stars. Everyone was so sweet and professional during the passing of our sweet cat this morning. It came time to end her suffering. We called in the morning and were able to get in quickly. The passing process is very comforting during such a difficult and sad time. They have a separate private grieving room where it all takes place. Then with no rush you have your own private exit. I cannot express enough gratitude to everyone there. They care a lot about you and your pet.Karen W.Karen W. ★★★★★ We recently had our cat's teeth cleaned here. We had no idea how much of an issue it was until we talked to the doctor. We thought our cat was not eating well and acting cranky because he was old, come to find out it was his teeth. We went through the process of getting his teeth cleaned, which involved bloodwork before hand, but that was nice because we got to confirm he really is healthy as we hoped. After his teeth were cleaned and a few of them pulled, he has done so much better. He's putting weight and is acting like a young cat again. We are so grateful, we thought he was near the end of his life but now we expect several more years out of him.Chalet N.Chalet N. ★★★★★ Nice place and nice doctorsKenna H.Kenna H. ★★★★★ Dr Sarah and her team did an AMAZING job with my dog Timber who had to get double ACL surgery. If you need help with your pet, you won’t find better care or a more patient and understanding staff.Mariah M.Mariah M. ★★★★★ Love these guys! Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable and I have yet to have any issues getting an appointment.John M.John M. ★★★★☆ Very friendly service very friendly vets. My only disappointment is they struggle with difficult dogs, even after we asked to help we had to make multiple trips. They still weren't able to clip my dogs nails. Overall we are happy with themjs_loader
