One is 14 months and the other is 17 weeks. I came to Applewood due to a recommendation from the breeder because they see a lot of Frenchies here. I did have a veterinarian of 7 years, but they had lost all quality customer service and I couldn’t get into them anymore because it was unpleasant. I am really impressed with Applewood and their staff. The vet techs are kind and loving towards my dog which matters to me. One was so happy to see my dog on his second visit she came to say hi! I permanently moved one of my Frenchies here due to his neurological issues. I feel they are best at helping him. I am going to move my other dogs to this facility as well when the time comes. I live in Chandler but it is worth the drive. The drive isn’t horrible at all! Prices are surprisingly similar to other vets in the East Valley.Jennifer C.Jennifer C. ★★★★★ Your staff made me feel like they care about my fur baby and not just another number.

Our Services

Although our beautiful hospital is brand new, our doctors and staff are not! Together we have over a century of veterinary experience, but even with that level of experience we all participate in continuing education on a monthly basis. There’s always more to learn! The training that we are all excited about is receiving certification as “Fear-Free” practitioners. This means that everyone at Applewood Animal Hospital is committed to making your pet’s hospital experience as enjoyable as possible, including lots of treats (peanut butter on a pretzel stick, baby food, frozen chicken broth, you name it!), calming music and an understanding and awareness of what is needed to make your pet feel uniquely comfortable.

Our experience was wonderful! Everyone was so kind and caring and informative about what to expect after the dental work and extractions. Charlie did very well and was his old, cute, funny self in no time.

Vicki

Timid Molly did very well at Applewood especially because Dr. Drummond sat right on the floor with her and made her feel safe!  It could not have been a better experience!

Kathleen

I was totally satisfied and did not see anything that could have been better. The love and care given to my Louis Vuitton is beyond belief. He feels great which of course has me feel great. Thank you for your commitment to our children in fur.

Sharon

Belle and I had a great first experience. Everything was topnotch.

Larry & Andi

Dr. Crouch and Melissa were both very kind and gentle with my dog, which I really appreciate.  Both took all the time I needed to speak with me and cover all my concerns. I never felt rushed. That’s rare! And lovely.

Jennifer

Yesterday I was very panicky when our dog kept vomiting so I called here & was able to get him squeezed in today (Saturday) & let me tell you I am very glad we did. The office was very clean & nice, I felt comfortable leaving our dog there to get treatment. They were very informative & reasonably priced for the service(s) that Levi needed.

This is our new vet, very glad we found them.
