    Bloomington Veterinary Hospital - Notes on my dog's chart indicate the conversation I had with the receptionist on February 10.

    Bloomington Veterinary Hospital

    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.

    Combs Veterinary Clinic - 3 different tests. Same services. I don't know why the 3rd item changed from one time to the next.

    This clinic is a mixed bag. Dr. Pruett is excellent. When my two cats got a serious bacterial…read moreinfection, she acted quickly and did the right things. Unfortunately, I was put with a younger doctor who over-medicated both cats. Bella definitely needed the first dental cleaning (general anesthesia), but the second one, a year later, found only moderate plaque. General anesthesia is expensive, not all that good for animals, and should probably be used only when it is really essential. When Max had a slightly hyperthyroid reading, he was put on Methimazole, which was OK with me at the time. Several months later, he had gone from being a lively, playful cat to spending all his days sleeping under a blanket. He also wasn't eating enough and was losing weight. Methimazole can cause hypothyroid symptoms, including loss of appetite. Hyperthyroid cats eat and eat, but can't keep weight on. They are medicated so they don't starved to death. In spite of the fact that Max was not eating enough and three subsequent tests were normal, the vet kept insisting that he was hyperthyroid and should be kept on the drug. I gradually cut back the dosage, letting her know each time. Max got better and put on weight. Even after I discontinued the Methimazole, she wanted me to keep bringing him in every three months for a blood test. BTW, she never ordered any test but a T4. There is such a thing as a thyroid panel, which could have provided more information. I said that there was no point in doing more tests because I was not going to restart Methimazole. She discontinued me as a patient. I think this clinic probably does better with dogs than with cats. Their suggestions on dealing with fecal incontinence were not very helpful. Again, the best ideas came from Dr. Pruett.

    Dr. Pruett has worked in Bentley beautifully since he's been ill. It turns out that the scheduling…read moreis on a more as-needed basis than I thought. I have absolutely no complaints about Combs; in fact, I feel supported during this difficult time.

    We have used Blooming Paws three times for grooming services for our Springer spaniel mix and it…read morewas really great. Just be VERY specific about what you want in terms of cut and if you have any special requests. I spoke to the office manager and was able to take him first thing in the morning and then pick him up right after because he doesn't like being kenneled. I also really love that you can book through the pet care app. Very convenient!

    First of all, I want to say that the veterinary side is one my friends have had good experiences…read morewith, but they have dogs. Not cats. I took my cat in to be seen because he was fur mowing, and I wanted to know how to prevent that so he didn't have to live the rest of his life coned. This was quite some time ago, but I've since decided this may be important for other cat owners to consider. When we (Me, my husband, and our cat) initially entered the building, we were brought back to a room and waited to let him out of his carrier. When someone walked in, a vet tech I presume, she was gentle and very loving with our cat. Why the one star? After she left, it was not her who treated my cat. Instead walked in this doctor that immediately made my cat flick his tail. When I asked what we could do, she lied to me about there being no way to skin test my cat (you can do skin scrapes, I know because I brought him to another vet). She then said she needed to do 500 dollar blood work instead. She said she had found fleas despite us using a preventative, and instead of her suggesting a stronger one she sent us home with an anti itch moose that didn't work. We didn't do the blood tests because we knew something was off, especially when she brought in a small rag to hold my cat down for a vaccine (he is a huge cat) and he ended up clawing her and she lifted him by the scruff (not healthy for a 17 pound cat, btw! Yes, that is his healthy weight. He is tall!) We brought him to arlington, who not only gave us a strong flea preventative, but sent us home with actual medicine (steroids) to help him heal any infection he had gotten from prolonged fleas. Every since then, he has been healthy and not itchy. No thanks to bloomingpaws for that.

    I adore this veterinary hospital. I originally brought my dog here for a checkup, and they caught a…read morelump in his mouth. Through the process of scheduling, surgeries, testing, etc they have been so gracious, kind, and informative. The surgeon scheduled me in between surgeries to get my dog the immediate attention he needed. I am not from IN and my vet at home has been caring for my pets my whole life, so I was very weary of a new vet. Everyone here is so helpful and thorough, and the vets explain everything in detail, and value my needs financially and as an owner. One vet tech had spent her lunch break spending time with my dog (of her own accord, I never asked her to) so that way he didn't have to be lonely. I highly recommend this vet to anyone looking for quality care. The staff truly care about your animals, and you can tell they just love being around them. I also looked at some negative reviews... I am talking about the Northside clinic. I saw a lot of them were south side reviews. I was reading a lot of people had difficulty getting ahold of the vet. Whenever there has been concern about my dog, the doctor calls me directly. When I have left voice messages, the doctor calls me back promptly. At my first checkup, I spoke directly to a doctor. The only time I did not speak directly to a doctor was one time after a dental cleaning and histopathy, but that was because the doctor had gone into another surgery, and the nurse who talked to me answered all my questions and explained everything in such detail.

    We love Arlington Heights, Dr. Breeze specifically! I love…read morethe new facility, it's always clean(we certainly leave a ginormous amount of fur behind) and haven't encountered another pet in the common areas even once. That is a huge relief, my dog doesn't typically do well with other dogs. That's usually a huge stress factor for me which I'm sure my dog senses. That has made a huge difference in our visits.
