★★★★☆
Like any veterinarian, I want to fully hope they have my fur baby and their health as their best interest. I will say, we felt that here. We were able to book an appointment for our fur baby within two days, as our cat was having an issue that seemingly popped up overnight. The staff was friendly and was able to break down a lot of the information regarding medicine, costs, etc. We did feel they weren’t too…

When the time came to say goodbye to my sweet senior girl, Cora, Dr Plaska was incredibly gentle, compassionate and kind. She reassured me that this was the most loving choice for Cora and helped me find peace in such a difficult moment. The entire staff was patient and understanding as I took the time to say my goodbyes. Their care and compassion made an incredibly sad day a little more bearable, allowing Cora to…

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I find an independent vet in Fort Worth?
Look for a clinic like Mellina Animal Hospital that's locally owned and has deep roots in the community. We've been serving Fort Worth for over 40 years, and our team is directly accountable to you—no corporate call centers.
How much should a vet visit cost in Fort Worth?
Costs vary by service and pet. At Mellina Animal Hospital, we offer a free first wellness exam for new clients (terms apply) and provide transparent quotes. For routine care, our prices are competitive—call (817) 332-8179 for specifics.
What's the difference between a veterinarian and an animal hospital?
A veterinarian is the doctor; an animal hospital offers a wider range of services like surgery, urgent care, and diagnostic equipment. Mellina Animal Hospital functions as both—full medical care plus emergency stabilization during business hours.
Is a vet clinic cheaper than an animal hospital?
Not necessarily. Costs depend on services, not the label. We're a full-service clinic that keeps prices fair—free first exam for new clients, walk-ins welcome, and no hidden fees. Ask us for a quote before any procedure.
What should I look for in a Fort Worth vet?
Check experience, range of services, and how they handle emergencies. Mellina Animal Hospital has 40+ years in Fort Worth, offers urgent care during our hours, and clearly refers after-hours cases to Fort Worth Animal Emergency Hospital.
