“*Editing my original review from 9 years ago to add that it's now 40 years! We still bring our pets here to St Francis. Our newest furry family members see all of the vets here, and we continue to receive loving and exceptional care.* Pets in my family have been going here for over 30 YEARS - My parents took our family pets here, and even after moving to Minneapolis and trying other vets, I drive all the way across town to come back. The staff is compassionate and professional, and the office is clean and animal friendly. Dr. Blair is our primary veterinarian, and has been the only doctor my dog will let her guard down around.”
“Wow! My cat needed a vet quickly for a bladder infection and RICE creek came through with an appointment the same morning. Everyone was friendly, caring and professional. We have found our vet!”
“We have been using Mendakota Animal Hospital as our Vet and boarder for 4 different dogs over more than 20 years. They have always given excellent care and treatment to our dogs and have treated us like family.”
“This Edinburgh Center is the most comprehensive, conscientious, knowledgeable and caring pet clinic I’ve gone to. They are a bit more expensive, but their quality is excellent so it’s very much worth it for me and my pets. The staff is friendly and the center is always clean.
They have up-to-date equipment and are thorough in testing, always offering options for next steps.
I’ve had to put down two pets in the last 12 years due to cancers, and I was so comforted by the care of the staff. They even had a special calm, comfortable room where I could sit with them as they passed.
I strongly recommend the Edinburgh Pet Health Center. Six out of five stars!”
“Staff at Ark Pet Hospital are the best! We’ve had puppy exams/shots for a liter, follow-ups and urgent appointments with out Great Danes, even THE BEST care for a few of our Chinese dwarf & Russian White hamsters when needed.
I highly recommend you bring your animals here for excellent Vet Care & TLC. We dropped Banfield and switched all of our animals to Ark Pet Hospital.”
“This was my first visit with MetroPet, but I am very pleased with my initial impressions. Staff was friendly and attentive. They did great with making Augie feel comfortable. I appreciate Dr. Harris taking the time to answer all of my “new mom” questions and not making things feel rushed at all. Look forward to returning next month :)”
“My dog has been coming here for 10 years. I’d give 6 stars if I could! Their attention to detail and follow up is amazing. We totally feel part of the pet doctors family and not just a number (which I hated at other vets). We even moved somewhat far away and I still make the drive because the service is so great. Highly highly recommend supporting this small business!!!”
“I trust Grand Ave Vet to take care of my pets. Everyone there is amazing and treats me and my furry ones with care each and every time. I would recommend them to anyone who asks!”
“This was our second time at this clinic. The clinic is clean. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We were greeted promptly and roomed right away. The tech (Colleen) was thorough and easy to talk to. Dr. Torino made sure we knew what he was doing and what he was looking for. Lab results and our cat's diagnosis came the next morning along with recommended care and treatment options. We received the actual lab report via email - something our last vet didn't do. We've been kept well informed every step of the way. We're very happy here! The cat--not so happy but she's not driving or paying the bills.”
“Incredibly kind and compassionate staff here. And they leave appointments open for emergencies, which is always so good to know (and we’ve had to use that a couple times). Most importantly, our dog loves to visit! :)”
“I took my cat to All Paws this past Tuesday for the first time for an occasional cough and sneezing. I saw Dr. Amanda Mickelson. The first thing she did was sit down and talk with us about our cats’ records relating to any health issues. She really took the time to explain several things about our cats health and it was so enlightening! She took great care to minimize any stress on our cat when examining her. I left with a great sense of confidence and was very impressed with the staff there as well. Probably one of the best vet experiences I’ve had since owning a cat.”

“Loving my local clinic!
My two kittens are absolutely adored here, and it's so nice to have such friendly reception staff, vet techs and veterinarians looking after my fur babies!”
“We just started bringing our cats here based on rave reviews from other pet-parents, and I’m really glad we did. The staff are very thorough and knowledgeable. We just got the news we have to say goodbye to our senior cat, and I appreciated how upfront—yet compassionate, that the vet was when delivering the news. We are definitely loyal to this amazing clinic now!”

“The All Pets Animal Clinic, doctors and staffs provided Dmitri and I the best veterinary, and customer service ever. I'd highly recommend the clinic. The Storee Laydee. Minnesota.”
“Margie is a fantastic groomer - provides a fear free setting. The staff at Brooklyn Park Pet is also terrific, very friendly, creating a positive environment. Plus this month they have a Jack-o-lantern contest - it’s a pleasant environment there!”
“We have been going to Kelley, specifically seeing Dr. Debbie Thornquist for over a couple decades and 7 of our fur babies. Debbie has been the most thorough and thoughtful not only for a wonderful veterinarian, but also for the compassion she has shown through a couple devastating losses is unparalleled. The entire staff really has gone above and beyond. We are thankful for them. From Sampson and Zoe and Mr. Tootles, to Jazze and Ezra, Saffron and Wyndzor, we truly thank you.”
“This place is THE BEST. They explain everything so clearly and answer all your questions. My cat had to come in suddenly for something kind of serious so they worked around appointments to see him. Dr H. and Dr N. both were SO NICE AND GENUINE. I was getting emotional worried about my cat and one of the reception lady gave me a room alone to contain myself. The vet techs explained what was happening as well. Never experienced such kind and genuine staff. They genuinely care and help your pet in every way they can.”

“Staff are nice and understanding. Doctors are knowledgeable and patient to answer my questions. I appreciate that I was able to visit and check upon my kitten whenever I want during his hospitalization.”
“Our 6 month old basset hound was spayed on 10/21/24 and Southview did a great job! It was clear that they took excellent care of her and that she was in great hands. Our pup is doing great, even if she doesn’t like the e-collar/cone of shame.”

“I’ve been bringing my dog and cat here for a few years now for routine appointments and illnesses, and have always had a fantastic experience with all of the staff.”
“I started coming to Mounds View because a friend of mine was a tech there and I knew the love of my life Mr. Peepers would be in good hands. While my friend no longer works there, the care my pets have received at this clinic has been nothing short of amazing! So far, my cats have seen Dr. Olsson and Dr. Femrite and both of these women are gems of humanity! Dr. Olsson helped me pull my cat/BFF Mr. Peepers from the brink of death when he had pancreatitis and a skin infection and Dr. Femrite went above and beyond to rescue my sweet saint of a calico Adeana after I had a bad experience at another vet. The whole staff is so great when I come in and I’m so grateful for all they have done for me and my critters!”
“Absolutely, the kindest, most authentic vet clinic.
Called to get information on crematory services for our beloved, havenese, Cherry lu who had passed away in our arms. My sister has brought her pets here for years.
From the first phone inquiry to the heartwarming card from staff, acknowledging her passing, Minnehaha vet clinic is most excellent! Thank you”
“I was very happy with my experience at Lyndale Animal Hospital. The front desk staff is friendly and easy to work with. The veterinarian and her assistant were excellent and made the experience a pleasant one for my dog who is usually not a fan of going to the vet.”
“Lake Harriet Veterinary is outstanding. I've taken my cats there for 17 years. Excellent vets, professional and friendly staff, and 100% reliable in the care they give and their guidance for my cats' health. I trust them completely.”
“Clean, organized, full-service vet office with separate areas for dog & cats. They have limited appointments for pet patients that don’t have (or are too far from) a vet. That is why we’ve been here with 2 different dogs. Parking is the only challenge, but that’s much of Uptown.”
“I’ve been going to Pet Central veterinarians for 5 years and they’re the only place that seems to know how to handle ‘high needs’ rescue dogs. They’re busier than they used to be but still excellent. I also get my dog groomed and he went from terrified of grooming to being basically fine with it so I know the groomers are good with him.”
“We’ve had great experiences with Access over the years with three dogs. The staff is incredibly kind, their prices are fair, and I really appreciate how they’re so upfront about costs.”

“The service literally could not be better. You can find affordable and top-notch services all in one place. My main issue is that I have many cats around my house who need services. I'll be back with those cats soon. Why this place even needs a review is ridiculous.”
“Been coming here for over a decade. I don't even live near them, and yet they remain my vet of choice for both dogs and cats that I've owned over the years.”
“Extremely caring for their patients and owners. Ongoing medical problem for cat requires overall health care questions and they are able and willing to give help and discussions to help me understand. All the staff is excellent.”
