Veterinarians near Shorewood

“Had a very nice experience as we quickly popped in to pick up some additional tick products for our dog. Service and information were great!“

“The staff are always very helpful. I was able to go to the exam room with my dog which helped decrease her anxiety. The vet tech was very informative about the reason for my scheduled appointment. He offer good information about oral care for my dog. Doctor Kowitz was very thorough exam and recommendations. I highly recommend Lakeside Animal Hospital.“

“Poppy & Dudley get great care ! Friendly knowledgeable staff . Coming here for 4 years now !“

“We had a wonderful experience at the Wauwatosa Vet Clinic. Everyone was so friendly and knowledgeable. I definitely feel like my cats are getting the best care possible. We will continue bringing our pets to the Wauwatosa Vet Clinic, and I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a vet. Thank you so much!“

“Everyone is super friendly and extremely helpful. We had the unfortunate “final” visit and they made the process more bearable. Dr. Gabriella Henthorn was very kind and patient with us. She laid out the facts very clear while still being empathetic and also took the time to provide comfort. I wouldn’t want to go through that again but if I had to, I would go back to her.“

“They are always wonderful have gotten us in quickly for an emergency, and very thoughtful when it is time to say goodbye“

“Already a fan of this clinic. Kelly is incredibly helpful. I have barely ever come across such helpful people in my life!“

“I've been taking my cat here for 4 years and she is doing really well do I do trust the doctors. Typically staff have been extremely kind and helpful, but there are some things I'd like to mention that needs addressing.

I care about my cat A LOT. She has always gone to her scheduled annuals (never missed and and I don't even think she had been late except this last time). I adopted her during COVID so I would wait in the parking lot and the techs would come get her. It worked out smoothly. The only issue was that I was unable to bring her in for emergencies (anal glands or when she had a cold a couple of times) because the receptionist(s) told me that I had to go elsewhere such as Mayfair due to not having any room for me. I continued to go to Mayfair over the last 4 years until this last instance. I did take her to get some teeth extracted and cleaned at CVC, though, in a timely fashion. These things are not cheap, but I want her to be healthy.

I received a notification in the mail at the end of September that my cat was due (what I thought said October 25) October 18. I called on October 22 or 23rd and you guys were booked out until December. I called the next day because I noticed her anal glands were leaky and she seemed to be in a small amount of pain (eating a little less than normal/sleepy). I figured that I would try to get in with you because I've been coming here for 4 years and it seems odd that I can't get in emergency visits ever when I am a longtime and consistent patient. (The receptionist had mentioned that there were same day appointments when I called to schedule the appt that ended up in December.)

This is where things went downhill. I called the day after I made the annual appointment to grab an emergency appointment (see if there were any openings) for the anal glands. The receptionist came across as though I was an inconvenience and negligent stating that this is not something they do, that I have an overdue exam and need to be current in order to be seen and that they were doing me a courtesy by allowing me this one time to get in the next day. There were two times available in the afternoon. I was at work, working with children and did not want to argue. I said thank you and moved on although very perturbed.

I went in for the appointment which took about 4-5 minutes and asked if patients need to have appointments scheduled before the due date of the exam or if they are able to call before the due date to schedule in order to be seen moving forward. The vet tech interrupted my question to the receptionists (these were not the person I spoke with on the phone because I could tell by the ladies' voices and they were super kind/soft spoken). The vet tech told me that my pet needs to know the vet, that I need to come in for my appointments and I can't just call when there is an emergency. This was off-putting, but I tried to understand that maybe she had a busy day and was speaking quickly not realizing that there were assumptions in her answer that 1. my cat doesn't have an established relationship with the vet and 2. that I call only for emergencies and am always late for my appointments or don't schedule regularly at all. Eventually I explained this to her and refuted every assumption she had about me and she said that I was fine and she hopes no one made me feel like an inconvenience.

I am hoping that the ability to schedule at the appointments will alleviate this, but I might suggest that the receptionists/techs view a patients records before assuming that they put off their appointments, only call for emergencies, etc. and perhaps refrain from stating that they are making an exception and this is unacceptable. Even if I had called the first day I received the mailer, I still would have been overdue because you're booking 2 months out. This experience made me very sad because I actually really have enjoyed coming here and feel like my cat is receiving gre“

“Great vet services! The staff is kind and quick. They'll treat you farebaby with love and respect, and their care is above and beyond. Have two dogs under their care, and we are very pleased.“

“Dr. Paul and his staff helped care for my dog in the last 6 (medically complicated) years of her life. There is a very personal touch here, and they very clearly care for their clients. I highly recommend Harwood Vet Hospital.“

“I’ve tried other vets in the area, and MKE Vet clinic takes the cake! Our first visit included a FINAL DIAGNOSIS that our other vet said was just a “weird ear thing” for three years! The cat room always the cat to feel comfortable and safe! The staff is so kind and really caring towards your pets! THANK YOU MKE VET?“

“The staff is kind and personable as well as the vets. I made an urgent appointment on the weekend right before they closed. The vet quickly diagnosed my cat with a urinary blockage and confirmed that he needed immediate surgery. We took our cat to a 24 hour emergency vet hospital for surgery. She saved our cats life.“

“Dr. Singh saved my dog, that needed emergency surgery. I have been taking my animals to St. Paul Vet Clinic, for over 15yrs. Excellent care, price you can afford (compared to some other veterinarian clinics/hospitals). I thank you from the bottom of my heart! CK“

“This incredible team helped me through the loss of one friend and brought another back from the brink. I would recommend them to anyone.“

“I have a bengal and was very anxious about the anesthesia as bengals and other special breeds can have life threatening sensitivities, but the vet and staff were SO gentle with me and compassionate about my concerns. I know when clinics put out a high level of volume for their services that it can sometimes feel like a McDonaldization of the procedure, but this clinic had me in tears of relief over how kind they were to both me and my cat. They are worth every mile, every penny, every frustratingly full schedule that you have to squeeze yourself into if you’re lucky. They’re so worth it.“

“The staff there are always super caring. I wouldn’t trust my baby with anyone else.“

“We have been bringing our fur babies here for years and enjoy the vets knowledge.. just wished they did appointments so we could avoid the long wait times.“

“Los mejores, trataron a mi perra como si fuera la de ellos. Salvaron a mi perra, cuando más nadie lo podía hacer Excelentes!“

“I was new to the Milwaukee area and found My Pet's vet on what I call The Night of the Bloody Paw. One of my cats was periodically bleeding from one of her paws, and I couldn't find where.

This is an independent vet business, and I prefer to do business with independents because I feel like my animals get better care. I did call 3 or 4 other independent businesses before My Pet's Vet, but none of them were taking new patients. This place is a little farther away from me but they were independent and had room for new parients, so I emailed over the medical records for this cat and she was seen either that evening or the next. This was 2 years ago, so I've forgotten some of the details.

They found the claw causing this issue, treated it with kindness and care, and we set up appointments for my cats to get their checkups.

I have senior cats with senior cat medical issues and Dr. Beatty and his team have been wonderful at helping my furry friends live out their golden years as happy and healthy as possible.

This business does see all manner of pets beyond dogs and cats: guinea pigs, lizzards, rabbits, etc. I think there is only one exam room, so there are no long waits in a room full of other animals that could be distressing for the next patient. As of this review, they don't take pet insurance.

Other nice things:

They're very responsive to emails. They even do follow-up emails if your pet is sick, on a new medication, or something to see how it's going.

They have their own parking lot.

They have an ADA compliant wheelchair ramp and landing.

This business is in a house which is fitted for a business, so it has a comfortable, relaxing feel to it that both me and my animals enjoy.

My animals see the same vet and techs every time, and they are able to keep up on who they are and what they need.

This business works with other independent businesses if your pet has or would benefit from some medical care not provided here. The same cat from the beginning of this review received an ECG at this location from a traveling specialist.

Closing note: at the start of 2024 I adopted another senior cat. This one has hyperthyroidism and came to me with coccidia. I adopted another senior with needs because I felt I had the vet support I needed with My Pet's Vet. She's doing great now, too. ?“

“Amazing vet service. Super easy to get an appointment. Very clean inside and outside. Excellent staff!!!“

“This team is AMAZING! They are so friendly both to the animals AND their parents. I had to bring in my big guy yesterday for an issue I had never experienced with any of my dogs before. They were so kind and thorough and helpful. They explained what they were going to do, why, and how it would help. They even told me there were optional treatments on the invoice that we didn't have to do (I did them, they helped my buddy). I asked about preventative measures and they explained how this event could have happened. They really helped to set my dog-mom heart at ease!
After Tucker had his procedure, he greeted me in the room and then happily greeted his Dr as well. I was SHOOK and that alone let me know how well they took care of my boy. I paid less than half of what I was expecting to, AND they have a great refer-a-friend program. I'm so thankful to this amazing team and my roomies for suggesting them! As long as I live in or near Milwaukee, my pets are coming here!“

“Fast, kind, on-time, descriptive, educational vet techs and veterinarians. My cat was mean and they managed to give her the booster she needed despite her fighting with them.“

“Have been taking our pets there for some time. Have had great service. Give them a try!!“
