Leighton Animal Hospital

Love Doc! He is old school and The Best Vet around. He has taken care of our dogs for over 50 yrs.

I have been taking my dogs to Leighton Animal Hospital for the past 3 years and have nothing but GOOD to say about the clinic. The staff is wonderful, friendly, empathetic and helpful. My dogs and I are lucky to have found you. Keep up the good work and thank you for attending to all of our needs!!!!

I have been going to dr Leighton for over 20 years starting with my childhood pet. He is the most caring vet I've ever had, I always ended up back in his office no matter how far I move because he is absolutely the most respectable vet in Oklahoma City. He never scared me by telling me things that weren't true, when other vet clinics were pretty much telling me my dog was gonna die if I didn't fork out $700 for immediate surgery.. He always rembered my dog and her name, and was very friendly. Prompt service and always had time to get me right in if needed. I want to thank him for everything he has done because he was the only vet that would help me instead of trying to rip me off. He rembered me when I was a little girl bringing my childhood dog in with my grandmother when I was 9 years old. It really means a lot when a business makes you feel like family. Btw my childhood dog was pregnant and a very small chihuahua, I believe he took her home with him to make sure she didn't have any complications throughout the night, she is 18 years old now. We really appreciated all he did, things are a little different now that he is in his 80s, I don't see mr Leighton every time I visit but his staff is great- they are just as caring and friendly as he was. I would recommend him to anyone in Okc. Don't blame your vet for things that are not in their control, things happen that are inevitable and nothing can stop it- not even a great veterinarian. people expect too much, this is a 5 star vet clinic- 5 star staff- with a 5 star willingness for people who need them.

We have taken our dogs here before for shots. We took our dog here the other day because she wasn't eating. She is now dead.

Friday we took her in because she was not eating and was drinking a lot of water. Dr. Leighton said she had diabetes and has an infection. He said he'd like to keep her over night to run a blood test to see what it was. Saturday morning we called to see if we could come get her but another doctor (who I'm guessing is taking over the business because this guy is beyond the retirement age) said they still hadn't done a test. She said our dog is "in good hands" and someone is there to watch the dogs. Sunday they are closed so we couldn't get her.



Monday morning we were so excited to finally bring her back home. We called right before we left like we did Saturday. We were then told that Buttercup had died the night before. They did not even call us that morning to let us know she had died.

We asked Dr.Leighton how her blood test came out and he said he didn't even take one. He didn't know how she died. He also said that no one was with the dogs!

We did not want them to cremate her so we picked her up later that day. While paying for the bill, the receptionist didn't even know our Buttercup had died and was confused. Of course that led us to false hope that she was still alive. When we brought her home to burry her, and opened the bag to make sure it was her, she was covered in diarrhea, which they didn't tell us she had. They didn't even have the decency to clean her up.



I regret taking my baby girl to this place and wish she would have died in our own home than alone, in a cage covered in her feces, at this horrible place.
