    My 19 year old cat has been to three different vets in the last two years for gradual weight loss, lack of appetite, excessive drinking, and lethargy. He was diagnosed with a UTI and/or kidney issues or cancer every time with no 100% diagnosis. I recently moved to MN and he started showing the same symptoms. Without a vet here and lack of funds, I was a wreck. I was referred to LHV by a co-worker and I could not be more grateful for this. My old man has a thyroid condition and has had it for some time. For whatever reason, the three vet visits previously never took the time or thought outside of the box enough to figure this out. This being after blood work, countless tests, and over $1,500 spent. Dr. Sarah and team are INCREDIBLE. You can tell the doctors and techs genuinely care about their "patients" and want the absolute best for you and your baby. They are compassionate, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. Because of this hospital, I will hopefully have my handsome man for a few more years and he will be healthier and happier. They accept Care Credit also! Not sure what I would have done without them. I highly highly recommend this animal hospital.

    We love going to Lake Harriet veterinary!! They've been so patient with my dog Finn and all of his anxiety issues, and have done wonderful care for my cat Cosette. They've always been really great at only charging you for what you need, and with very reasonable rates. The only issue I've ever had here was with Dr. Sarah, who I always request not to have anymore. When my cat had a UTI, she had performed tests on her and determined that she had a stone in her bladder and she REQUIRED prescription pet food to treat it. I am vehemently against any sort of prescription pet food because of both the awful ingredients in them that are produced from the lowest grade of pet food companies, but also the secretive, yet major claims made for this type of pet food by those companies. I work as a biostatistician in clinical research and in order for a product to have claims of treating diseases, they have to go through intense clinical trails with a lot of scrutiny from the FDA (they'll call you out if they think you are trying to throw any biases into the study or analyze the data in such a way as to give you the results you want, instead of results that would truly reflect your product). These companies don't allow any public access to their research, which leads me to believe that there could be some potentially corrupt, maybe or maybe not intental, way of analyzing the data to reach these "claims". I could go on about this, but anyways, I'm very against them. The one thing that I can understand about switching a diet is the different nutrient levels that might aid in the recovery. So the science behind them. Dr. Sarah called me to tell me about the stone and how she required this diet. I told her I was uncomfortable with this food and asked for alternatives. I told her I was more than willing to make her something homemade if she needed it. But Dr. Sarah was adamant that this prescription food was the ONLY option, and told me that I would be killing my cat if I didn't immediately put her on it (she explained how she would get worse, be in more pain, require more expensive diagnosis and treatment, could require surgery, which has risks associated with it that could lead to her death). I was getting pretty upset. I kept asking for other alternatives, asked if we could get a nutrition consult, etc. but she wasn't budging from her views. Even though humans don't require a special pre-made diet to treat stones. Anyways, so flashforward six months later, another UTI. Before that, I had changed her diet to something with a lot more water in it and tried to do things to help her destress. I brought her in to her regular doctor, Dr. Megan (who is amazing!! And so is Finn's regular vet Dr. Cathy!! So so patient with him!) and she told us that it wasn't a stone she was dealing with, but she had some sort of blood clot in her bladder, both this time and last time, and apparently they were relatively common. I switched her to a raw diet since then and so far no more recurring UTIs. But I definitely don't trust Dr. Sarah. I met her a few months later at a dog training class for Finn that she was auditing and mentioned my line of work, which she had expressed how difficult statistics were. Again though, for everything besides this one vet, we absolutely love it here! They are extremely patient and accommodating to us, well-priced, very very knowledgeable, and great at getting Cosette in at the very last minute when she was having a string of UTI issues that went on for a few months. So they still deserve 5 stars!

    I love these people! Yesterday, my girlfriend and I brought our puppy Cranberry to check out a possible irregular heartbeat, ask questions about her behavior, and, ugh, get her anal glands "expressed." (I shudder every time I think about it.) I had no expectations, since I've never visited a vet. Here's a list of reasons as to why I love this place: +The lobby area is open with a tall ceiling, and they provide some really awesome free treats for the pets and the owners. (I'll munch on my Starbursts while I sip on some tea. Thanks.) +The lobby to the appointment rooms are updated! +There's plenty of parking on the street outside. +The receptionists are super sweet. +You won't have to wait very long for your appointment. +The vet and nurse both provided excellent service to our pup. Both of them listened and acknowledged all of our concerns, noted different types of resources for various problems that we could access, gave us a sweet info packet, and, most importantly, treated our four-legged family member with so much love! +The nurses expressed Cranberry's glands with no problems! I am not even tempted to check out another clinic. This. Place. Rocks! BTW - Our puppy is in 100% perfect health!

    I switched to this place after considerable dissatisfaction with another clinic. Very happy with my decision. I was almost 30 minutes late for my first appointment and they were very understanding. Given my cat's (she's almost 20) degenerative kidney condition, they have been a tremendous source of support. Andrea and Robert at the front desk are friendly and warm. They get very busy so understand that sometimes your hold time may be long. The vet techs treat my cat with genuine affection. I picked Dr. Jim Sinning because he also practices acupuncture and Chinese medicine, both of which he has used for my cat with great effectiveness. He has never pushed anything on me, but brought up treatment options as needed. When lab tests have been done Dr. Sinning calls back the same day and either discusses results or answers questions unhurriedly, or leaves a very detailed message. I have had some major stuff done for my cat and they always inform me of the cost upfront. I am also pleased to be paying less for a lot of services compared to the last clinic in Minnetonka.

    Poor little pup.

They honestly love, love, love your pets like their own. Being a long-term client with multiple pets, we have been through so much and have felt so grateful to entrust our pets' care to these wonderful, talented, and knowledgeable practitioners. We just had to say goodbye to our dear kitty, Brutus (14 years) after being diagnosed 4.5 months earlier with Stage 4 Kidney Disease. Dr. Koppy had seen him through everything since we adopted him: regular checkups, hematomas, luxating patella surgery, and this disease. Everyone from the receptionist to the vet techs to Dr. Koppy have continued to lead with expertise, compassion, and genuine care for our kitty, especially as we found treatments to work with his final illness. When Brutus was first diagnosed, my husband and I had so many questions and concerns and I was so grateful to have Dr. Koppy address every single one with patience, kindness, and understanding. I never once felt rushed or like just another client. Dr. Koppy and her team support guardians of pets as much as the pets themselves. They even brought us in to learn how to give Sub-cutaneous fluids at home. Dr. Koppy comforted us in letting us know that even though his kidneys were ill and we had to add supplements and medications, our kitty wasn't experiencing any pain as we managed his symptoms. When Brutus took a turn for the worst practically overnight (which Dr. Koppy prepared us for well ahead of time), I tried to get him in for an appointment at the clinic the day of. When I described his symptoms, they were very adamant that he needed to get seen even if it wasn't by them. They didn't have openings but put Brutus as #1 priority on the waitlist for the day and also directed me to a clinic that could have openings. Dr. Koppy called me several times that morning as well to talk through what was happening and what her recommendations and thoughts were, even though she couldn't examine him in person herself. I am so glad they did all of this because my cat was starting to suffer significantly and quickly. We were able to see the recommended clinic to get the necessary tests needed to confirm that it was time to prevent him from suffering any more. He went peacefully at home that evening in large part because of their concerns and recommendations. The staff respectfully checked in on us with a card and phone call. This experience has only deepened our relationship with LAH. I know whatever comes our way for our 2 remaining cats (17 yo and 10 yo), I can trust that Dr. Koppy and the Lyndale Animal Hospital team will continue to do everything they can to ensure their health, well-being, and dignity as they lead the fullest lives they can. Thank you to everyone for supporting us during the good and the challenging times.

I got my dog during covid times and was never allowed to be with him during his appointment or anytime after that at my last vet. I was so happy this place allowed me to go back with my dog. The people in the back were really friendly. The people in the front were very busy and didn't even acknowledge when I greeted them goodbye. It seemed like 3 of the 4 ish people sitting in the front are just taking calls and doing appointments, which surprised me they had them sitting up front in the lobby. I think the front-end customer service could be better. They do have service plans for the animals and I did sign up for that. I hope it is worth it as it was spendy (as all of them are, but my dog's health is worth it) and now they have increased the prices. I'm glad I paid in full for the year before the prices increased.

And when the time came to say goodbye to my cat, the process was handled with gentleness and dignity. I have had a lot of negative experiences with other veterinary practices over the years which made me really nervous about finding a good doctor when I moved to a new area - I feel really lucky to have found Vet Partners and will trust any animal of mine to their top-notch care.
