I have a long history with Dr. Turkel. People who care deeply for animals often build strong…read morerelationships with vets because those doctors are there for both the joyful moments and the hardest ones. Over many years, I've seen Dr. rescue animals that have been injured and he nursed back to health. I've seen his office filled with five or six animals at a time. Animals he's just graciously taken in and provided a home for them. Veterinarians like Dr. Terkel often have to balance compassion with medical judgment. When a pet is suffering, they may recommend difficult decisions--sometimes including euthanasia--to prevent further pain. Even when it's medically sound, that advice can be incredibly hard for families to hear. And except especially when the pet feels like a true member of the family. When a beloved pet dies, people can experience grief similar to losing a human loved one. That grief can include: * Sadness and deep loss * Questioning decisions ("Did we do the right thing?") * Anger or disagreement with the situation * Guilt or second-guessing All of those reactions are normal parts of grieving a companion animal.

I have been with CAT'S VET for at least 12 years with my cat Bella. The manager called me up one…read moreday and told me that because I had ABUSED the staff, I could no longer be a customer there. This is not true. She offered no explanation, except to say all the staff decided they agreed with this. I loved the staff that took care of Bella and always, every time I brought Bella in, I praised the two girls that took care of her. (Mandie and another girl (They worked together). Dr.Jeanette Vanni was excellent, the best vet I have ever had. We had an excellent relationship. (Don't understand how she could have agreed with their decision. The manager did say that because I was unhappy with their protocol (leaving your animal in the cold vestibule) and not allowed to bring her in.; she decided I would not be satisfied with the service they would provide. (My cat has separation anxiety and I just asked if I could bring her into the room, and then leave to go back to my car and wait till she was done with her treatment.

We gave her those pills like they told us to. One with every meal. And once we stopped the real problems began. We can't get her to stop licking her privates and she has completely licked the skin off that area. If she DID have a yeast infection then somehow after this visit it got 10x worse. I had tried to keep things cheap because I'm 18 and was doing this so my mom didn't have to. But they kept telling me "you're paying for the check up, but do you want the exam?" "You're paying for the exam, but do you want the results?" "you're paying for the results, but do you want the treatment?" These people are a bunch of scammers. And it's either a coincidence or the pills made her worse and I don't know how to fix it. The only helpful thing they did was hold back some woman's crazy German shepherd from trying to attack my dog.

When does one take their loved fur family member to the vet? If it's me, it's most likely when…read moresomething is wrong. Parkway saw my 2yo kitty, Bootsie, in 2025 when she was licking her fur off. After an exam & meds, I found out it was an allergic reaction to what I used to sprinkle on carpet. Parkway was visited in 2018 when we had to make the most difficult decision to put our 11/12yo kitty, Nala, to sleep. She'd been on arthritis meds for about a year, due to hip dysplaysia, & thyroid meds for a few months. We believe she'd had a stroke & gone blind. Her coat was different. She was bumping into walls & furniture & various other symptoms. Recently, in 2026, another visit occured when I had to put my late husband's cat, the most loving cat, our Miggy-boy down. He'd lost weight very quickly, quit eating, was vomiting when he would eat his lickable treat, was listless & hiding a lot. This was most difficult for me because losing him was like losing another piece of my hubby. When my hubby was in the hopital he would video call just to tell Miggy that, "Daddy loves you." For his 11.5yrs with us, Miggy would crawl up on my chest and bump my chin to give him kisses on his head. Oh, how Miggy loved kisses! Parkway was nothing but compassionate in both instances of putting our beloved cats down! The med tech's & Doctor's were empathetic, full of tenderness, & sympathy. They allowed as much time as we needed to say good-bye through tears & sobs. We chose to take our fur babies home afterward and they supplied us with a large box so, we didn't have the discomfort of holding them after they'd passed. There's a special room at Parkway to proceed with the inevitable. They have a jar of chocolate kisses with a sign that says something like, "No dog should not ever taste the joy of chocolate." They offer group cremation, single cremation, urns & clay paw prints. At the last minute, I decided I wanted Miggy's paw print and they explained they'd have to take him to Troy and I'd have to come back the next day to get him. I couldn't mentally handle that so, they gave me inked paw prints I could frame. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic for your pets!! And, if you need to have that fateful appointment, I'd recommend them even more.

Walking into a veterinary office, you trust that the people caring for your pet will put their…read morehealth and well-being first. Sadly, that was not my experience. I left feeling frustrated because it seemed that the conversation centered around money instead of helping my pet. Rather than focusing on providing treatment and not gossiping on the other side of the door while waiting 45 minutes into my appointment or offering compassionate care, the emphasis was on the racking up financial cost. It felt as though my pet came second to the office's bottom line. GREEDINESS As a loving pet owner, there is nothing worse than feeling helpless while your animal needs care and you're made to feel like a wallet instead of someone seeking help. Compassion, empathy, and a genuine desire to treat animals should always come before financial gain. Unfortunately, I did not feel those values were reflected during my visit. I left disappointed, financially drained, and with the impression that this practice cares more about collecting payment than caring for the patients entrusted to them.

THE VETERINARIAN THAT BUILT THIS PRACTICE RETIRED AND SOLD IT TO SOMEONE THAT TURNED IT INTO A MONEY GRAB!!! EXPLANATION BELOW: The previous doctor that built the reputation of this clinic with a love for animals and good customer service has retired and sold it to someone who does not care about animals whatsoever, he is strictly in it for the money. He charged me almost $900 to diagnose an infection. He told me that my cat's liver had an infection and was 3 times it's normal size, putting pressure on her stomach and that's why she would not eat. I'm not a doctor but that did not make much sense to me at the time, how an infection could affect a liver in any animal so dramatically but I had been here before so I trusted him. HUGE MISTAKE!!! My cat stopped eating again and I took her to another vet who charged me $240 to diagnose that she had a fatty liver and a life-threatening liver issue, I can't remember the exact term was. He said had I brought the cat in sooner he could have done something, but now the best thing to do is to put her to sleep. This veterinarian at Pets Ahoy charged almost $900, and KILLED MY CAT. Had I gone to a real veterinarian that cared less about money and more about the animal my cat would have been properly diagnosed at less cost and I would not be setting an appointment right now to put her to sleep. Dr Williams whom built this practice on morals, ethics, and care has retired and sold this practice to a man that wishes to drive a Bentley. He did nothing to build this practice or its reputation, he bought it and I was completely blindsided when he walked into the door for my cats original appointment. Nobody notified me that this practice now belonged to someone else. I was pushed into a corner where my cat was not eating and I was now at a veterinarian that I did not know but knew that she needed help fast. I would have never have gone there had I been notified and given the opportunity to look on the internet and find all the negative reviews of this man. Had I walked out I would have saved hundreds of dollars and my cat's life! I provided a photo of what this doctor did to my cat. Notice how skinny she is, and she is hiding in a corner of my house waiting to die!!!!!! My children are absolutely heartbroken, this animal deserved better.
