Very clean facility. Doesn't smell like a veterinarian's office. Also, I'm very impressed that they call the day after the appointment to see if our puppy is doing okay, even if it was just a routine check up. Nice personal touch!

I want to tell everyone about TLC.
The time they took with helping with our cat was tremendous. And returned the care and consideration at the end the cat's life.
Thank you to everyone at the clinic for making this painful process so easy and filled love.

We've gone to TLC since 2020 for our dog and cat. They're always great with scheduling and have fair pricing. If we needed to be seen quickly, they've always gotten us in. Once, my dog needed what was basically emergency surgery, and they fit him in quickly between existing appointments, saving his life and us a hefty emergency vet bill!

Both our cats remained as comfortable as we've ever seen them outside our home, which speaks well of the atmosphere and competence of all the staff at TLC. As pet parents, we too felt comfortable with every staff member we spoke to. We definitely recommend this practice.

All the staff we kind, easy going and caring. Dr. Salas took lots of time to address my concerns and helped educate me on my dogs issue. He is easy to communicate with and I left understanding care instructions and felt heard. Thank you!

I had to put my dog down a few days ago. TLC made the process run as smoothly as possible. Both the vet and vet tech were very competent and compassionate.

I like that this place isn’t owned by Mars or private equity goons. Was able to get my dog correctly diagnosed and cared for at a fraction of the cost that I was paying to get bounced from specialist to specialist absorbing escalating fees. Like literally one place charged me for an ultrasound, but mid-procedure said it would be an extra charge to do a fine needle aspiration on him.

I've been going to TLC for about 5 years and have only had positive experiences. Dr. Long is knowledgeable, informative and trustworthy. The rest of the staff is always friendly and helpful and service is prompt. Highly recommend.

I have been bringing my pet, Dolly, to TLC Hospital in Albuquerque, NM for several years. I have always been treated with respect, kindness, and competence during each visit. Dr. Salas and his whole staff are always professional, caring and gentle with Dolly which I really appreciate. They are the best in the city!
I will always continue to bring all of my "fur babies" to TLC.

TLC is an amazing place. I’ve been coming here for over 15 years, and there’s a reason I always come back. Every now and then I’ll try another clinic because it’s a little cheaper, but I quickly realize that paying a bit extra is absolutely worth it.
The staff and doctors are incredibly kind, compassionate, and professional. My appointments are always on time—sometimes I’m even seen earlier than scheduled. They’re also able to get me in within a day or two when I need an appointment, which is a huge plus.
Shannon at the front desk is wonderful. She’s always friendly, sympathetic, and has such positive energy. Every doctor I’ve seen has been courteous and goes above and beyond to make each visit a great experience.
Thank you, TLC, for consistently providing exceptional care. I won’t be going anywhere else again!
Big thanks to Kian and Shylah, as well.

Over a year ago, Dr. Salas operated on my cat for a very rare condition (torn ccl). He was highly recommended by another vet. I appreciated that the total cost of the surgery was very reasonable (believe me, I checked many places b/c it was quite expensive) and that the follow up visits were included in the total cost. Most of all, I appreciated that through all of the ups and downs of recovery, the staff was very helpful and friendly. It was a very stressful time (8 week recovery where I had to keep a cat from jumping?!?!?!), but the staff were very helpful and attentive during my many calls w questions and concerns. She recovered very well. Dr. Hood is now her vet and I am so pleased with the care Athena is receiving.
