Their facilities are very clean and it is clear that they really do care about animal wellbeing - they even accept donations to a local shelter that I already knew and loved.

Thanks, Blaine Central!!

I am a Californina resident who was visiting Minnesota with my 9 year- old Pitbull Jimmy Choo, when…read moresuddenly he began to cry and limp. I went on line and searched for a clinic that was closeby with good reviews. I am so glad I did my research because I was so pleased with the service and care I received from SNOAH. I called to schedule an exam and they were great to accommodate me with a same day appointment. The entire staff, (intake, tech and Doctor) were warm and welcoming. They spent a significant amount of time gathering information, asking questions and then performing a comprehensive exam on my dog. I left the clinic that day with a solid plan from Dr. Adrian, feeling confident that my dog would recover well. I also feel like I was treated fairly with the final cost, and not bombarded with inflated or unneccessary services. I definitely know that when I move back to Minnesota I will be using their services on a permanent basis. So relieved and thankful to have found a great vet.

When I think of Dr. Deb Thornquist, I hear her voice looking down lovingly at my Lil' Tyra Banks…read moreand saying...."You are such a brave little girl" :) Having a small Brussels Griffon, Dr. Deb found a smaller tool to use to help relieve Tyra of painful, ear infections. When Tyra was out of state and I needed a second opinion, I emailed Dr. Deb and she called me followed up with an email. Finding out Tyra's health was failing from kidney failure, she worked with the Kidney Specialist, always wanting to be in the loop and co-vet with helpful advice, watching for reports to be added into Tyra's file and confirming we were making the right decisions and sharing her opinions when asked. We had 3 "bonus months" with Tyra and Dr. Deb was empathetic, compassionate, professional and loving....she made suggestions to aid us in painful decisions we would have to make in what we knew was in our future. Being proactive, my daughter and I made an appointment with Dr. Deb to prepare for what might be putting Lil' Tyra down. At the end, Tyra was not in pain, but I could tell her health was failing fast. The receptionist answered the phone hearing the panic in my voice. With Dr. Deb not available that day, she gave me the phone number to call someone to the house since we didn't want a stranger making Tyra feel scared. For whatever reason, God only knows, Tyra was not in pain so she passed in my arms in her sleep at home in her safe place. It was the most heartwrenching moment I have ever had but I know that was a blessing knowing not everyone can do that with end of life situations. I loved my furry daughter all the way through to the end. She was relaxed, fell asleep *snoring* and shortly later she was gone. My heart still hurts but I know it will be replaced with loving memories over time. When Dr. Deb was notified that Tyra lost her battle with kidney failure, she called me. I saw Kelley Animal Hospitals's number on my screen and knew it was her. Hearing her voice gave me comfort and her words of love for my Tyra meant more to me than she will probably ever know. It has only been 5 days since my final goodbye to Tyra, but reflecting that dogs may live and share only 1/3 of their lives with us....I think to myself...what a special person Dr. Deb is to sooo many people and their pets. I knew "Dr. Kelley" She was a passionate vet, with a love for all animals, who opened "Kelley Animal Hospital" and I believe she is looking down from heaven and smiling because she knows that Dr. Debbie is a gift to our community just as she/Dr. Kelley was when she opened up this animal hospital. Thanks Deb, I will forever remember and share with others how grateful we were to have you take care of my brave little girl. Puppy kisses from Tyra in Doggy Heaven!

I started coming to this vet after I decided to keep a found kitten. Kitten was injured and I had…read moreto get her to an emergency vet right away. She needed stitches to be removed 2 weeks later. Life Care was suggested and I was looking for a new vet, so went to them. Decided to stay with them. Most of the doctors have been great. Most techs have been great. I think it's the ownership and staffing/scheduling; as I've noticed in the year and half or so I've been going, front desk staff changes. I've also not seen one of the techs I remember when I first started going there. They aren't retaining support staff and I can guess why they leave. The appointment/record entry is questionable. Regardless of the reason for the appointment, it has been entered as "wellness exam" 9/10 times. When you go to schedule via the portal- there aren't appropriate choices, or comment sections to add info. When you do think you picked the appropriate choice/wording and later check/look it up - the info has changed to generic "wellness exam". No idea of price until you get there and they suggest how to proceed and have you agree. Except for the very first visit, I'd usually never get out of there without paying at least $150, or in that ball park. I said, AT LEAST. Not "on average", but as in, no less than. Every. Single. Visit. Hundreds of dollars for blood work labs, before anything that requires anesthesia (dental cleaning, etc.) Go in for an issue, suspected injury, illness- whatever- and you drop over a hundred for exam, then more for meds. Then a follow up is scheduled for a week or so out- which again costs you over $100. My most recent visit was the deciding factor for me. They suggested a flea and heartworm preventative for my older cat (at the appointment) and I thought that made sense. I was all ready to get the med, when I asked about it for my other cat at home. The tech said they'd have to see my other cat in office before prescribing it for her too; mind you- that was the kitten, who'd constantly been there (as in, about every month) her first year of life for regular wellness exams and preventatives, etc. Refused to give the med for her without seeing her in office, but didn't explain why what was necessary. BUT wanted to send me home with the med for the cat at the appointment. WHY would I treat one cat with a flea preventative and not the other cat at the same time? What would even be the point? That is what I told the tech, and refused the med. I knew already, and didn't want to accept it... At that point and after all the other money spent there over the period of a year and half and red flags- it was completely clear that this hospital ridiculously over charges. Offers urgent care, but somehow the appointment will be days away- but will still be charged urgent care pricing...One way or another; either by exorbitant pricing for certain services, or by over scheduling/unnecessary exams. I have to go elsewhere.

I will not be returning here.

Do better, own your own behavior and the negatives that come from that, in addition if the receptionist named Kim is unable to be professional and respectful when there is a valid complaint, they should not be in the position to answer the phone.
