    I appreciated having a 24 hour emergency hospital available when my cat suddenly had a breathing episode. They were able to get her stabilized and while we're still working with specialists to figure out the underlying cause, she's now resting comfortably at home. I was grateful to have such caring vets available during a truly terrifying evening.

    My girl Fibby & her baby sister Bindi.

    On Sunday our older pup was pretty sick and we knew in our hearts it was her time. We took her to Care Center and we were greeted by Ashley F who listened to us, assed her needs and quickly jumped into action to have her seen by Dr. Ferrell. We spent our last minutes in a comfortable room giving Fibbs lots of love and belly rubs. Ashley kept coming in to check on us- she had such a loving Demeanor- and created a calm environment where we could cry and even laugh about all the love we got from our old girl Fibbs. Dr. Ferrell was super sweet and compassionate, too! He made us feel like our decision was the right one to take the pain away from such a good friend!!! I can't thank this team of professionals enough for everything they did for us!!! We sure do miss our girl- the pain is brutal... but Ashley and Dr. Ferrell will forever be in our hearts!!!

    We have been to MedVet numerous times (mostly for fosters) and they have been great (yes, long wait…read moretimes, but they take animals in order of importance and are emergency-based, which means they are VERY busy). Our last experience with MedVet was our foster, Wrigley. He had trouble from the start and eventually had to leave this world in the most humane, peaceful manner. After that, we brought in our 15 year old dog who was having issues standing and crying all night (in spite of his pain meds). Our vet wasn't available (we love them as well) so we brought him to the best place we know. I cannot say enough on how nice and understanding everyone is...one of the initial ladies had tears in her eyes when I broke down after deciding to end our boy's suffering. They were amazing from start to finish. They set us up in a private room and we met with their personnel who went over the procedure with us. They had nice girlsl who took him (he went willingly which was a sign of trust) to the back and gave him love and treats (their love for animals is apparent). The moment arrived when we had to say goodbye to our boy of 15 years. The vet was amazing and the staff was incredible. While I don't wish a death on anyone, I realize it happens. This is one of the best places to go to for end-of-life issues if your vet is unavailable. It is CLEAR the people here (front desk, assistant and vets) care about these animals.

    I have hesitated to review this place for months but I keep getting reminders to do so - so…read more.. Extremely disappointing and stressful experience during an emergency We brought my son's cat to MedVet in the middle of the night during an emergency, after speaking with her regular vet and being told she urgently needed IV fluids. We arrived expecting emergency care. We were there for over two hours, and during that time, no treatment was provided--even though they agreed she needed care. Instead, the focus felt overwhelmingly centered on cost. The pattern was repetitive: an assessment, followed by "here's what we would like to do, but here's the cost," over and over. We had already confirmed we would pay and had signed the paperwork, yet the constant cost discussions delayed care to the point that I finally asked them to stop. This process was incredibly stressful, especially for my son, who was simply desperate to get his cat the treatment she needed. Ultimately, they decided to give her fluids and keep her overnight so another vet could treat her in the morning. Tragically, she passed away. I understand that veterinary care is expensive and that transparency matters--but in an emergency setting, urgency and compassion should come first. Based on our experience, I would only use MetVet as an absolute last resort. There are other emergency veterinary options in the area that provide far better care and communication during crisis situations. Edited because I had a typo in the name of the clinic. This is the MedVet in Eastgate on Red Bank Road.

I'm unsure how this place is…read morestill open Thursday (1-29-26) my 2 year old Goldendoodle was found eating my late Goldendoodles asprin bottle and the contents at 12:30 PM. I called his vet and they told me to rush him to the closest Emergency vet. Medvet Dayton. Let's go time is CRITICAL right? It was for my dog and family just not to Medvet Dayton. my mother, my dog Mitch and I waited over 2 hours while the staff watched my dog suffering puking 8 times in the waiting area. Me and my mom kept waiting and waiting PRAYING FOR MITCH TO BE CALLED BACK. I had filled out a poison control sheet, spoke to a toxicologist at 2:50 Pm. Why wasn't this done at arrival? Mitch needs to see someone it's 3:00 PM and we arrived at 1:20PM! I had to cry and beg just for a private room so he wasn't so anxious while continuing to throw up. We got one! Finally he's going to be seen! Nope. 2 different assistants popped in asked unrelated questions. One gave false information and to the Dr. around 4:01 PM Megan comes in to tell us that Mitch had a large amount of toxins and would most likely not make it but the toxicologists options were 1) hospitalization 2) outpatient ..we were devastated after hearing the news she had and strapped financially I told her to give us a minute to figured this out. Before she left the room she recommended euthanizing Mitch to save on funds. Leaving us heartbroken being told there's zero hope is heartbreaking! After all this waiting you just want to kill my dog? A few minutes turned into an hour. we came up with the money 10 minutes later after I asked for a few minutes.. we waited for someone. Anyone to come back!! I had to go to the front desk hysterical asking for help AGAIN! The assistant comes in we tell her we decided on outpatient we have the funds. Will be paying by credit card over the phone. We were going to leave soon this what my mother described as a bad nightmare was almost over! It wasn't... the assistant never told the doctor our decision wasting more precious time for my Mitch. My dad was going to pay with CC over the phone. He kept calling asking why it's taking so long and told me to go up front and ask if we can just pay. Of course they had the invoice. They want money. At 6:21 PM my father gave his CC info to Audrey over the phone. I knew we were in a bad situation after about an hour of being there so I started to document and time stamp EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything. Every conversation, every time he puked. I mean EVERYTHING! While she had my phone getting the CC info a girl walks out to the waiting room with Mitch? But we weren't in the waiting room.. it just so happen was up front trying to leave. I quickly grabbed him. I was frantically texting close friends asking for prayers thinking my dog would die last night. and one friend it took him a few hours to respond but his response made my heart drop to the floor "go anywhere but Medvet Dayton" describing his 2 horrific situations. It was too late. We were already there. They already had Mitch. We were stuck in what felt like living hell. There was zero compassion let alone did anyone great my happy social boy or acknowledge his existence. We got the charcoal and medication. Why didn't they give them charcoal? Isn't that VITAL? I didn't trust anyone there anyways but it just showed me how much they did not care. At home Mitch finally got 162 ML of charcoal down by me and my mother at 9:06 PM. 8.5 hours after toxicity. Mitch may not make it. I know that. It's not their fault he got into asprin. However it is their fault with their lack of urgency, misinformation, compassion or even a ounce of hope for my Mitch! Because of this his chance at survival is even lower. Please never ever take your pets here. This was one of the most horrific experiences of my life. MedVet at the very least owes us a huge apology and a refund. That won't ever happen. I'll make sure everyone I know will know about this horrific place and how we were treated. I'll advocate for Mitch even if he passes and all the other animals until I die. This is cruelty to say the very least.. they failed Mitch. They will keep failing other babies too.

As soon as I told her my dog was 13yrs old, she told me it was NOT chocolate toxicity & after an ultrasound she told me that my dog had a very large tumor & only had days to live. She gave me expensive prescriptions to "keep my dog comfortable," which made my dog so out of it that you'd believe she might be dying. What my dog needed was IV fluids to dilute the theobromine & caffeine which are the poisons to dogs in the chocolate, & IV fluids make it easier on the dog as it works its way through their system. My dog was experiencing every single symptom of chocolate toxicity, including internal swelling & bleeding, which can appear as a large tumor on the liver in an ultrasound! This vet never mentioned chocolate toxicity after I told her initially this is what was happening & she told me it was NOT! Leaving no possibility that this could be anything other than liver cancer because my dog was 13yrs old. This visit cost me $345! And my dog did not even receive proper treatment for the entire reason in which I had taken her. She could have died from chocolate toxicity due to no treatment!! But she did not! Because when she woke up the next morning she was doing much better so I stopped the meds which made her seem so sick & unresponsive. She improved from there & a visit to her regular vet confirmed she was suffering from extreme chocolate toxicity & was very fortunate to have survived without any treatment despite the expensive visit to the emergency vet office, Care Center & seeing Dr Emma Lasley! She does not have a tumor on her liver, that was just swelling from the toxicity & Dr Lasley should have known this was a possibility, but she stereotyped my baby as an old dog who certainly must be dying in her eyes! Thank God I made the decisions I made by stopping the meds so that I could tell that my dog was back to normal, & taking her to an intelligent, PROFESSIONAL vet who ran the proper tests & considered her symptoms could possibly be from chocolate toxicity after ingesting possibly more than a half pound instead of giving a 100% diagnosis of a terminal tumor simply because of her age. If I had listened to Dr Lasley, my dog would've been on these debilitating meds the rest of her life because I could not afford chemo or surgery, which certainly could've shortened her life as one of them affected the brain. Which she told me to discuss surgery with my family if my dog actually did not pass in the next few days. She traumatized me for no reason & completely disregarded not only the chocolate toxicity but the fact that there could be anything else at all that could be the cause of her symptoms. And she was dead wrong! Please DO NOT take your pet to this emergency veterinary clinic because unless you have a lot of medical knowledge yourself, your animal could be misdiagnosed, untreated for what is really wrong, & possibly lose their life because of this! With all my heart I wish I'd held out until morning when my regular vet opened so that I wasn't forced to throw away $345 & get zero relief or treatment for my dog. I'm considering suing them for my money back & what they put my dog & myself through. I took my dog in as an emergency because her chocolate toxicity symptoms were severe & she was even convulsing on & off as well as shaking uncontrollably. I was afraid she was dying from this toxicity but thank God she wasn't because this vet did absolutely NOTHING for her chocolate toxicity because she misdiagnosed her & refused to listen to reason & consider that the toxicity was responsible. Had she died I would have already retained an attorney. But right now I am concerned for all the other innocent animals who might find themselves in need of emergency medical services. They will NOT receive proper treatment from this veterinarian at this facility! PLEASE do your research & take them to a much more professional clinic with vets who won't stereotype & actually consider all circumstances before diagnosing & who will give your animal proper treatment!

    Greater Cincinnati Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services in Wilder Kentucky is horrible…read more I'm sharing this to warn anyone who needs an emergency vet near here so they can avoid them. Our cat, Rudy, was battling a lot of serious health issues. He was a rescued cat and suffered seizures and was fiv positive. We were on a palliative care treatment plan with our regular vet, who is amazing but was closed. Our cat had a couple of seizures over the weekend then experienced what appeared to be a stroke late Sunday evening. We rushed him to the nearest emergency vet because he was in pain, scared, and with his poor health status we decided to offer him mercy through euthanasia. When we got to the emergency vet they explained that the vet would assess him, place the catheter IV in his leg, and then bring him to us to spend as much time saying goodbye as we needed, then they would perform the sedation and euthanasia with us holding him. They took him to an exam room to insert the catheter, a procedure I've watched dozens of times over the years with animals I've taken to various vets. When an hour passed we asked the front desk what the delay was and they said, "Rudy was being ornery and they were having a hard time putting the catheter in" which was an immediate huge red flag as Rudy has tolerated painful medical procedures without flinching or complaint with our regular vet, who described him as a very docile patient and "wished every cat was as easygoing as Rudy" Another half hour and I approached the front desk and said I needed to be with Rudy and I was concerned about the issues and delays. The person at the front desk called then said they weren't answering their phone then walked back to the exam room to get them. The vet came and asked if they could mildly sedate him and we agreed. More time passed and we approached the front desk yet again because at this point I was considering other vets, other options. Something wasn't right. Then the vet came and talked to me in the hallway and said they had bent the needles trying to place the catheter and that "he had very thick skin" and I told her to bring our cat to us. When they brought him to us he was so sedated his skin was cold and he was barely breathing. Every leg has been stuck multiple times and I watched her try several times unsuccessfully in the rear leg, with the vet and the tech debating where his veins were. At this point I told them to stop and the vet decided he should be euthanized by cardiac stick. I definitely did not want to have him euthanized by cardiac stick. I wanted to leave with my cat but they insisted they would legally have to take him out of sedation in order for us to leave with him, although I've brought home other animals in the past from other vets who were sedated from medical procedures. At this point, I felt he had suffered so much at this vet and he is traumatized by car rides, that I had very few options. Not only did this vet rob us of a small window of time to say goodbye to our cat before they made him practically comatose with heavy sedation, but they poked and prodded for nearly two hours without informing us of any issues with the catheter. Instead, in our grief and anxiety we were forced to go searching the front desk for answers, horrified by the incompetent catheter attempts, and what I know in my heart to be a botched euthanasia. My sweet, gentle baby boy suffered needlessly at the hands of these ill trained, unskilled "vets" who also condescendingly explained that cardiac stick euthanasia was fairly common and humane. Which is simply not true. I have rescued animals for decades, was a licensed wildlife rehabber, and have worked closely with vets to understand care, treatment, and eventually a humane passing for many animals, whether rescued or long-term animal companions. I have never experienced a veterinarian hospital so completely unprofessional, incompetent, and as apathetic as Greater Cincinnati Veterinary Specialists and Emergency Services. Please do not ever take any animal to this awful place. Rudy deserved so much better.
