I am so happy that I found Paws veterinary clinic.I was able to get an appointment right away and everyone in their office including Dr Lorinda Falliniwere fabulous! They all have excellent personalities and they are knowledgeable and kind. My new puppy Remy and I were treated like family. I highly recommend them to all of those who don’t want to be treated like a number. 🐶

PAWS is a beautiful and tranquil facility. Seems like continuity of vet is not there as always someone different.PAWS is also pricey and has hidden charges. I was told that I would only need a $25 vaccine visit. Without my approval they went ahead and charged an extra $75 for a vet visit as well which we did not agree to or want. When questioned they said they would have someone phone me which never happened and when I called back I was told it was protocol and the office manager would follow up. Still waiting. Overall you can get the same or better quality care for way less.

I love this place, from the environment to the care they provide. You can trust Dr. Aronson; he's very knowledgeable. They really listen to you and it's evident that they care about your dog's health.

We have a new puppy, so after doing quite a bit of research we found PAWS. I appreciate that the first visit they take an hour to spend with you and your dog educating us on all the things we need to know and consider. (Be prepared to take notes) There are puppy packages that are available to keep you organized and your puppy healthy. Staff is kind, they clearly put the work into training their team as well.

I have a rescue dog who is still not well socialized with people and other dogs. He gets very nervous with new people and since it is our first vet experience since we adopted him, we wanted to find a place with a special approach to handling fearful and nervous dogs. This is definitely the place to go!!We have been happy with our experience at PAWS so far - they are so on top of scheduling, reminders, and their procedures towards making animals feel safe and their people reassured.Could not recommend enough!

I adore Paws, Dr. Geren Thurston (my kitten’s doctor), and the entire team at Paws. The team of caring professionals and facility they work in are wonderful. I feel very good taking my Sheba there for her care and am grateful for their health care partnership with me and my kitten, who is now 13 years old. 💗

The entire staff at PAWS were very kind and patient.They recognized the urgency of my dog's condition and were very prompt in arranging the urgent care she needed. They followed up with a call the following day to check on her. I have told several friends about my experience with PAWS! I highly recommend them!

This practice has seen us through mass removals, orthopedic surgeries, kidney disease, and routine care for my dogs and cats. The staff is friendly, the space is calming and welcoming, the doctors are knowledgeable and helpful. I would recommend PAWS to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets here in Tucson.

This clinic is a little bit more expensive, but worth every penny. They give you different options to help fit your budget and help set up a plan when needed. They take large breeds (Irish Wolfhounds and Great Pyrenees) all the way down to old house cats. Each room has a basket of toys to help keep your animal comfortable and relaxed. From the receptionists to the doctors and assistants, you feel welcome, heard, and cared for. 10/10 would recommend (and I have countless times)!

I cannot express how lovely this clinic is. Randy was our doctor, and unfortunately I don't remember the techs names. But I brought in a very timid scared rescue, and they were so gentle and sweet with her. They listened and addressed ALL of my concerns, and had genuine recommendations instead of throwing medicine scans. They also were so considerate of Bailey, my pup, and not wanting to overwhelm her. I just have never had this kind of service. How gentle they all were with BaileyOh and it’s also just very beautiful? They have a nice calming outdoor area, as well as a cat and dog side(way less stress for everyone!)

Place is really clean really fancy and the people were nice. However I paid over 750 bucks for an office visit with bloodwork which seemed very excessive. But the kicker was they wanted $1500-$2000 to spay my one-year-old 52 pound puppy. You read that right – $2000 to spay a dog. I found another place in town to do it for $110…

I have brought one of my cats to PAWS since 2020, so for 3.5 years now. They are so thorough, good at answering any questions I have. They helped me figure out how to heal his stomach with prescription food and some supplements. He used to throw up his food multiple times a week and now only has hairballs once a month on average, like most cats! It’s amazing. They also saw my other cat, who passed recently, and they were very loving and helpful through that experience. They actually care about you, will answer questions outside of appointments unlike human doctors, and are very knowledgeable. I love all the staff. Not a single person has ever been anything but nice and caring towards me and my babies. As long as I live close enough, I will always bring any of my kitties here.

I highly recommend taking your dogs to PAWs! I have taken 2 of my dogs for rehabilitation and the staff from the vet to their PT, vet technicians, and front desk are professional, caring, and happy!

From the appointment booking to the checking out process, PAWS was built for animals AND their owners in mind. Millie, our pup, struggles with anxiety but the staff at PAWS made sure to put her at ease. We saw Dr. Keaner as he came highly recommended and to no surprise he was great. He took his time with Millie and really cared about her past, present and future. I couldn’t recommend PAWS enough!P.s yes the sticker price can be a bit of a shock but having visited a ton of other vets before - nothing comes close to the treatment at PAWS. #millieapproved

We very much appreciated the welcome from the staff and were mpressed with manner the doctor used to explained the purposes of our following visits.The staff couldn't have been more friendly and professional in their care of Walter. We will continue to use and recommend PAWS Veterinary Center.Jadel Roe and Jack Shomenta

My husband & I took our cat to his first ever vet appointment this past Tuesday. As soon as we walked in, we felt so welcomed. Our cat is a little scared of new people but the staff made him feel really comfortable. Our Vet Tech, Chessy was absolutely amazing. Our Veterinarian, Gabriel was so nice and welcoming. They both gave us a lot of tips on helping Hank with his teeth and overall health. We are so happy we decided to go with PAWS!

Top notch, exceptional care. 1st) friendly, sincere and genuine interest in our dog & us, 2) honest, forthcoming and thorough with information & education, 3) highly professional, knowledgable and expert as providers and with treatment. We feel very fortunate to find & be welcomed by the PAWS Veterinary Center team.

Jax loved his consult and first laser treatment. Alex and Dr Schubach were amazing. Nice lobby and waiting areas, and Jax made sure to check out the outside gardens.

I recently visited Paws for the first time and I was incredibly happy that I’d chosen this as our new vet. The front desk staff were very welcoming, the place was clean and well planned out for handling all kinds of animals. There was even an outdoor bathroom area for our dog to use. He gets nervous visiting the vet, but both the veterinarian and his tech were very friendly and made us feel comfortable. You can tell they truly care about your pet here and that’s important.

My dog actually loves coming here! Staff are very kind and knowledgeable. They’re also very understanding when it comes to cost and laying out all the options, not pushing unnecessary interventions. I was impressed with the check up phone calls. This is my go-to vet now.

PAWS is wonderful! Especially Diana with the rehab and underwater treadmill - gets my 13yo pup excited to exercise and that keeps him happy and mobile as he ages. He used to hate water, but now I just have to say "do you want to go see Diana?" and he jumps right in the car! Great attention shown to my dog from all staff, at reception and techs and rehab and vets - thank you!Care and treatment can get pricey when I'm in as often as we are, so I really appreciate how the vets/staff recommend care options for him with levels of importance, and that there's no guilt or shame if I select not to do all tests and treatments. PAWS is literally my dog's favorite place - thank you all for taking such good care of him!

I am incredibly happy with the dedication and work of the team at PAWS. My dog was incredibly I’ll and I brought him into this practice.. The team was thorough and honest with, and had a pragmatic approach to his suggested care schedule which resulted in a full recovery and recommendations on how to keep him healthy for the future. I worked with multiple teams together and my dog is doing better than before as a result. I would highly recommend for emergency and general services. The location is spacious and beautiful as well.

Took my pet to Dr. Jason was hesitant in the beginning and didn't seem to be a match after our first visit but she followed up on us and it showed us how much she cared, truly cared and we decided at that point to proceed with surgery. Still worried terribly and calling during surgery she took our call and assured us the our baby was in her care and that care was great because he's happy and at his best, and by the way he and Dr. Jason have a bond now which is rare for him.

I have had family pets in the past but recently just got my very own kitten since moving out on my own. Seeing as how this is all new to me and my sweet boy is a sphynx I knew I would have to find a vet that could answer all of my questions, not only about being a first time pet owner but also all the tricky things that come along with owning a rare breed of cat. Dr. Aronson truly went above and beyond my expectations and left me feeling like I had all the right tools to be able to take the best care of my fur-less baby! I would first off like to start with saying the office is very peaceful and clean and the staff are all so sweet and accommodating. Once I was in the exam room my vet technician Shelby was such a sweetheart and let me know I could ask all the questions I wanted and to not feel bad, like I was asking too many. Once Dr. Aronson came in he immediately started giving me all the answers I had been wondering about for so long.. answers other vets could not give me! I instantly had a feeling of relief that my kitty would be in the best hands of someone who knows his breed and knows about the risks associated with them. Not only did he give me useful info but he also went through the ingredients of his food with me and all the ingredients of the hygiene items that I use on his very sensitive skin. I was spit firing questions and it was such a relief to have a doctor who could answer them with such a holistic and healthy approach. During my visit we also ran some blood tests and the office not only called me in a timely manner but they also made sure to email them to me for my records and I didn’t have to pester them! They are great on their own about doing their job and making you a priority. I can honestly say I am so happy with this choice to come to PAWS and I will be a lifelong customer. I highly recommend that anyone else who is looking for top notch care for their furry (or not so furry in my case LOL) family member comes to this vet! You will not be disappointed!

Everyone couldn't have been any nicer or accommodating. I was unable to get my cat into two other vets and PAWS took me as a walk-in. Dr Aronson came to us in less than 10 minutes. It's obvious how deeply he cares for animals by his gentle nature with my cat and all the knowledge he shared with me. He was able to run bloodwork right there and provide me with some answers quickly. They called and I called every couple days to give him reports to follow up on her care for a week. I was really grateful for that. Dr Aronson is exceptionally nice and friendly. He was a pleasure to work with and I will continue to return to him throughout Willow's life. His assistant, Abby, offered the same high standards of help and care. She was wonderful. Sarah gave me a tour around the facility and I was quite impressed with all the services they offer. I could take a book and relax all day in all the beautiful lobbies and outdoor patios! It's a beautiful facility that's well kept. It was an overall great experience and I will continue to go there. Thank you Dr Aronson especially, and also Abby and Sarah!
