What reviewers say

73% Positive sentiment
based on 478 reviews

Bright Eyes & Bushy Tails Veterinary Hospital offers critical urgent care and emergency services in Iowa City, often accommodating walk-ins when other clinics are fully booked. The facility is clean, modern, and well-equipped with advanced diagnostic tools. The veterinary team and support staff are widely praised for providing compassionate, thorough, and gentle care, particularly during stressful emergencies and difficult end-of-life decisions. While many visitors report exceptional, life-saving outcomes and appreciate the clear explanations provided by the veterinarians, pricing can be significantly high, and a subset of visitors note occasional communication gaps regarding treatment plans and costs.
