Black Forest Veterinary Clinic

Greatest staff around. The black forest Vet is the best. Every vet can take care of your pet, but the amount of caring they show is amazing. You know they truly care about you and your pets! Thank you for everything you do!…

They care about animals AND you!. I have been taking my pomeranian, Tinkerbelle to these wonderful people for 9 years now. They are always very gentle and caring with her. They are knowledgable and good at explaining things in an understandable way. But another aspect that you just don't find with some vets is they work with you to make the expense of using a vet (an aspect none of us care for but accept) doable. I have lived under very tight financial circumstances the whole time I have lived here but no matter what, they always work out a plan that I can handle. That to me is almost as important as someone being gentle with my "baby". What good is a great vet if you can't afford to go to him? I highly recommend them!…

Friendly and caring staff. I've been going here for about seven years and they're great. The staff and doctors are friendly and caring. A couple of years ago, my cat developed asthma. Her breathing was very distressed all night and I didn't know what it was. I called the next morning and they got me in that day. The doctor gave her a shot and told me to call in a day or two to let him know how she was. When I didn't call, he actually called me and asked how she was.

More recently (today), we took our three dogs (55-80 lb each) and two cats in all at the same time for annual exams and vaccinations. Both the tech and the doctor were very friendly, not only to us, but to each of our pets. They talked to the dogs and cats as they did the exam, which I think is cool because it seems like they genuinely like pets and care about each one. Also, one of our dogs is a 10 yo greyhound, Greyhounds are notorious for having bad teeth. Compared to our other two dogs, I thought her teeth were really bad and the doctor would tell me I need to bring her in for a $200+ cleaning. Instead, he told me that because of her age and the fact that greyhounds don't always do well under anesthesia, he wouldn't recommend it. Instead, he brought in a little tool and scraped some of her teeth and said we should just keep an eye on it. I was impressed that he didn't try to talk me into an expensive procedure, plus the fact that he knew greyhound-specific facts.

Over the years, I've seen all three vets at this clinic, and I've found each of them to be very caring and competent.

Oh, yeah, and when I had to have my 17 yo cat put to sleep a couple of years ago, they were very compassionate. I hope this isn't too morbid - but after she was gone, they took her out of the room and brought her back wrapped up, they had positioned her so that she was curled up with her paw over her nose and eyes so it looked like she was taking a nap. Maybe that is TMI, and maybe everyplace does that, I don't know. But to me, it seemed very thoughtful and compassionate.…

Dissapointed. I have had many animals as patients @ this clinic - I have mostly been have been happy until of late. I have a dog with addisons disease - and to place a call for a critical medication and to wait over a week with out a call back is unacceptable. With out her medication my dog will most likely die...and I made it clear I was as at a critical state over a week ago...still waiting for a tech to call back....

left another message requesting a script to I can order her medication on line...hopefully my son can pick this up and we can move on...because clearly they dont care!…
