Great Vets and Staff! Received a follow-up call over the WEEKEND to check up on the condition of our pet. Talk about Wowing the customer!! These folks really care and it shows. They have cared for two of our dogs and one of our cats over the last four years. You can rest assured you will receive the best care for your pets and still keep your pocket book intact.

We have taken our 3 cats to 5 vets in 4 different states and I would have to say this is the best vet we have ever been to. My cat gets very distressed when traveling outside of our house and they used a lot of techniques to make sure she was comfortable the entire time. When I arrived we were immediately taken to an exam room. We were seen right away by 2 techs/assistants. One pet her/comforted her while the other took notes as I explained the problem we were having with her ears. Shortly after we finished with the techs, we saw Dr. Blagg. He spent a lot of time examining our cat thoroughly and asking a lot of questions to figure out what was ailing her. You could tell he really cares about the welfare of animals and explained everything to me in detail. Upon checking out I received a folder with information on my pet's diagnosis as well. Later on in the day I was emailed a 'Report Card' from the day's visit outlining the results of our exam. The entire time I was there I felt like my cat was getting the exact treatment that she needed, nothing more. (I have been to vets that try to get you to do all sorts of expensive tests and things that aren't that necessary.) If you live in the San Marcos area you NEED to take your pets to this vet!!!!

This is seriously the best vet office I have ever been to I have traveled quite a bit in the 4 years I've had my dog. The staff is so friendly and always willing to help and listen. Dr Blagg is so caring and I never feel like he is rushing or trying to get me in and out. I have a rather large dog and I know she is receiving the best care possible with Dr Blagg and his staff. I recommend this place to everyone!

I have a small 8 yr old dog who needed a dental cleaning and wanting only the best I took him to 3 different vets for a consult, all 3 vets had more than 3 stars and 15 reviews. Tickle blagg was the only clinic where the doc spoke with me in person and really examed my dog. The other 2 sent a tech to quickly see me in the waiting room. Tickle blagg also gave me the lowest estimate at $487 and their pricing is based on weight (13 lbs) for the cleaning, not grade, and then per tooth if extractions are done (7 extractions). The other 2 vets were $640 (with 2 extractions) and $750 (30min extractions - based on time not per tooth). All vets included bloodwork and pain meds in cost and said my baby had grade 2 teeth. All had over a decade in experience and provided the same quality of care during the procedure (I.e. tech cleans, dr. Supervises/ monitors spO2, temp, fluids, ekg, etc.). As for the day of the procedure, the doc came out and talked to me when I dropped my baby off then he called me after my baby went under anesthesia to let me know he was reacting fine, again to check before removing some teeth not included in the estimate and a final call when he was done. When I picked my baby up they reviewed the procedure and post op care, gave me the teeth they removed in a bag (was fun to show the kids), and included before and after pics on the paperwork. They also threw in a complimentary nail clipping, a cute bandana, extra pain meds at no cost and didn't charge me for the clindoral periodontal application ($57) which wasn't included in the estimate. Final cost was $540 after additional tooth extraction (back tooth with 2 roots next to large molar and 2 small teeth behind canines) and bottle of oral hygiene rinse (optional purchase).

I am continually amazed at the kindness, quality of care and the dedication of everyone who works at Tickle/Blagg. Thank you and Happy Valentines Day B and B
