Bloomington Veterinary Hospital demonstrates every trait I look for in a veterinary practice to…read morecare for the animal members of my family. Every member of the staff is attentive, engaged, and invested in the well-being of your pet. They are helpful and responsive to any query or issue you may have (from true emergencies to the borderline neurotic concerns we all have as pet-parents). Dr. Tyson Medlock is particularly amazing. Dr. Medlock cared for my dogs (a 5lbs Yorkie and a 120lbs Great Dane) during the three years I lived in Bloomington. It may be cliché but I truly wish my GP showed as much concern about my wellbeing as Dr. Medlock does for his patients. He always provides the highest level of care during regular checkups, surgical consultations, and emergencies. While Dr. Medlock has helped me through a number of scary moments with my Great Dane (they tend to be clumsy and will eat anything left within their reach), I will be forever in his debt for the counseling and aid he provided while I was traveling with my horse-of-a-dog in Kentucky. I woke up one morning to my Dane showing all the signs of bloat and immediately took her to the nearest Veterinary Emergency room. Dr. Medlock worked with the emergency room doctor over the phone and took the time to counsel me through next steps. His ability to explain and advise on the best care for your pets is unparalleled. With his help, my Dane made it through those scary moments (which turned out to be a serious infection) and has been thriving ever since. In summation, Dr. Medlock and his team at Bloomington Veterinary Hospital provide the best veterinary care I have ever experienced during my many years of K-9 ownership. If I am ever fortunate enough to return to Bloomington, I will continue to entrust the well-being of my furry family members to this amazing group of professionals.

I needed to get newly adopted puppies vaccinated for leptospirosis fast, because I live on a rural…read morecreek property with much wildlife exposure. The fastest I could find was a vaccine clinic from the Monroe County Humane Association, where they received a first leptospirosis shot from Jim Koch whose business address is this clinic. I spent the entire day driving them down to make sure they were protected. However, no one told me a booster was required. Nothing was printed, nothing was on the receipt, and nothing was said verbally even though I had their shelter vaccination records with me and presented them at check in. I even asked what other shots they needed. Nothing. I stumbled on this 2nd dose needed fact later. As a result, my dogs were under-protected for months on a high risk property, and now they have to be revaccinated as a start over. They were almost certainly exposed when protection mattered most and are now receiving additional doses afterward because of that gap. When I contacted the executive director of the Humane Association, he vaguely said the information had been "available," but could not explain where it had been provided or in what format. Instead of addressing the issue, the response shifted toward suggesting I was criticizing their mission to help animals. That misses the point entirely. If a clinic is going to administer vaccinations, owners should leave knowing exactly what boosters are required and when, especially when you present your records and ASK. Otherwise, they're not helping animals at all, rather are creating avoidable exposure risk and animals end up over vaccinated too. Given this experience, I would not feel comfortable using a veterinary practice connected with this clinic/vet again. I'm also not surprised to see other reviews mentioning confusion and disorganization.

They have a recording stating they are closed, etc. that repeats. The location is convenient for me and once there, I have had only pleasant experiences. Overall worthwhile, but mixed feelings as expected.

After some issues I had with my former vet, I thought I'd try Arlington again. I've got an old dog…read morewith a chronic condition, and they can do the testing and handle the meds. I had my first visit, and it's definitely a pleasant environment inside. The staff are REALLY friendly, which I appreciate a lot. I've found that more often than not, when I call it goes to voicemail, but today I got a live person to answer my question. The vet who checked my dog was a bit older, but very kind and gentle. I have been on the fence on whether or not it's time to put the old man down. Based on what he saw, it's not time. Which brings me to the prescriptions. It appears that there is a major issue right now regarding vets and how prescriptions are handled. With my last vet, to get the meds in their network, it would have cost me $200 a month. I found another vet that they checked out and were satisfied with, so they would send prescriptions there and they would be mailed to me. Arlington will either connect you with their pharmacy or give you a written prescription for an extra charge. The written prescription can be handy, and you can use any place you want, but you have to be prepared to wait. The upside is that using their network, the same meds I had been getting was only $20 more, partly because of a $15 charge that seems like it should only be on the first one shipped. They would not consider checking out the place I had been using. It sounds like that's their standard policy, so that's that! My dog was also prescribed some arthritis meds. Instead of a month supply, the seemed to fill a bottle with as much as they could and charged me for that. It was a hit on my wallet. I would have liked to have been offered some choices, like a 1 or 2 month supply. Overall, I was pretty happy with everything, and their pharmacy does offer auto ship options. I'll just have to remember to ask questions about the prescriptions ahead of time! I'm definitely happy with the friendliness of the staff. They all seem like they genuinely enjoy their jobs. That's a big change of pace.

Wanted to go up and…read morespend Easter with family in NW Indiana but had to find someone to take care of our two older cats. Not super comfortable asking our new neighbors or friends of a friend, so we shopped around for professional sitters. We had read about Bloomington Pet Sitters in Bloom Magazine and checked out online reviews. We called Russell and he came by and took detailed notes about our cats care and feeding. He was very easy to work with, it was like talking to an old friend. He made us feel very secure and gave us peace of mind to go ahead with our travel plans. The folks who took care of our cats did a great job, everything was clean and tidy when we got home. Mail had been brought in. They left a sweet note about the cats. The price they charge is very reasonable and they just leave you a bill on the last day of the visit. The other thing we like is that if they do not hear from you that you are back, they will go ahead and keep coming to take care of your pets. This is great if you get stuck at an airport or have some other travel delay. We look forward to using Bloomington Pet Sitters whenever we travel. Great local business!

Of course, I was nervous at first. I had never used a pet sitting service; neighbors and family had always stepped in the few days in the past, here and there, that I was away from home. Like many, my pets are my family. Stacey provided the reassurance I needed, by replying to my messaging, and overall communications were excellent. When a kitty became ill, they administered medicine. And, in fact, even took one to the vet, with my coordination from afar. When food and kitty litter ran low, they shopped for the same brands, and just added it to my bill. I could not recommend them more. They have provided the peace of mind I needed so that I could go off and do what I needed to do. Kitties and I are together again, but I just wanted to write a short note of appreciation.

The bad - there is much to be said. While my regular visits were essentially uneventful and helpful, there were a few occasions where there were disagreements, and they ultimately decided that they no longer wanted me as a client, and initially tried to part ways with me just after my dog had his recent Cushing's test and needed meds ASAP. They refused to refill his meds due to some rather scathing reviews I left. While truthful, they were exceptionally harsh due to my frustration over the matter. I deleted them because it was clear they would rather let my dog suffer than to speak with me about the matter. After I deleted those, they sent in a 1 month refill to give me some time to find another vet. That is why this specific review will be commenting specifically on my own personal experience. Prescriptions - my dog required a drug called Trilostane. They pointed me to the online pharmacy they used, and it cost about $200 a month. That was far too expensive, and when I told them that, I was given a list of network pharmacies. I'm on disability, and that was much more than I can afford. They either did not offer it or offered it at a similar price. I asked for a copy of the prescription, and was told they do not do that. (Indiana law requires a vet to do this unless they have reason to believe a drug or prescription is being abused.) I had to scour the internet until I found a place that offered exactly what I needed for around $60 a month. They made sure this place had the proper credentials, and sent prescriptions and refills there. I have been able to locate another vet who is flexible in how prescriptions are handled. Customer service - in my experience, it's fine to a degree. If you are neurodivergent, I suggest you find another place. There were a few times where I questioned things, including when I needed to find a way to get an affordable prescription. There were several instances of being given information at the last minute. The final one being the day of his test. We had been communicating via text to set things up. At no point did anyone contact me to inform me that my dog must be up on his rabies shot for them to perform the test. I took him in, and at the last moment, before they were about to take him back, I was informed they would not do the test unless he had his rabies shot. That's about the way it was put. I've worked in customer service for quite a long time, and there are a LOT of ways to phrase things in a gentle way to make it a little less unpleasant. They did not do that. It was very harsh, and as a person with ADHD, I do not process that sort of information well when it's presented in such a way. I told them all of this after they informed me they no longer wished to work with me. At this point, it can be considered discrimination. It's very disappointing to experience what was (to me) an extraordinary lack of professionalism. Good customer service dictates that you always do your best to keep a client informed and up to date, and you communicate in a way that is friendly and non confrontational. That was not my experience unless I simply agreed with whatever they said. Other notes - They shop out notifications to a third party service, which is pretty common these days. I received at least one about a month after the service mentioned was due. They do offer customer service by text, which can be VERY handy. Most of the time they were on top of things. There were times when I'd text asking for an update and did not receive a reply unless I followed up later.
