Dr. Brakken and ALL her staff are fabulous. They care for each of our fur family as individual cases and with the utmost love and attention. The cost for services are always reasonable and the unique situations, emergencies and preventative cares that our pets have needed over the past 10+ years, including broken jaws, infections and and long term medical conditions and emergency surgeries have proven this Clinics experience in treating so many pet needs. Dr. Brakken will be up front to what treatments are necessary, the expected costs, and prognosis. Her whole clinic and staff are amazing and they work together seamlessly. Brakken Veterinary Clinic is where we trust out pets to be treated with the best care! read more

My family has used Dr. Brakken since the clinic opened, multiple dogs, cats & ferrets have lived entire lives under her care. Though the clinic has grown with time, adding another full-time vet, the service is always personal and complete. Everything is explained fully, options are explored to make an informed decision as to the course of treatment which is best for your pet and your family. The fees are reasonable and the service excellent. You are as involved in your pet's treatment as you wish to be (some people don't like to see blood draws or even claw trimmings--you don't have to if you don't want to.) I'm on my second diabetic cat, and after 6 months we are seeing if he can be taken off of insulin. When my eldest male cat (15) was brought in by a neighbor, deathly ill, I was contacted as soon as they scanned his chip because they knew how important he was too me, and that I would be likely to want to save him if possible. When it turned out that he could not be saved, he and I made the decision to euthanise immediately to avoid prolonging his suffering. The vets and staff were very supportive in helping me make and implement this painful but necessary decision. He was peacefully and painlessly assisted while I held him on my lap and said goody. When my parent's elderly beagle became ill, and we were unable to find a cause for several months, when it became obvious that she was failing her illness was pared down to 2 possibilities, both of which were incurable, I monitored her quality of life for several weeks until it was obvious that she was no longer a happy beagle (a beagle dragging it's tail between it's legs i a very unhappy beagle!) When I took her in to be euthanized, Dr. Brakeen and staff were very sensitive to my feelings and my dog was quietly and peacefully assisted in a quick and painless death. Dr. Brakken always listens to whatever research I've found regarding aliments of y animals, and does a good job of researching anything she's not already familiar. In 57 years of owning pets, there is only one vet I have had who might surpass Dr.Brakken--but only because she was willing to make a 30 mile trip out to vaccinate my cats...and she left practice to teach at the UW-Madison Veterinary Hospital. I wholeheartedly recommend Brakken to anyone who cares about their animals as part of their family--they will receive treatment with every bit as much consideration (maybe more) than your family doctor. read more

We love our vet. The Brakken Vet clinic has been fantastic to our current and former pets (both cats and dogs). Friendly, knowledgeable care with a great, caring staff. While I wish they promoted more natural care, I trust them with my furry friends. Dr Brakken is very good and gives solid advice. A great, trustworthy veterinary clinic. read more
