I wanted to update my review since I first wrote this over 9 years ago. This is still one of the best vets in the TC area, offer many services/treatments/meds/testing/imaging, and the staff is wonderful. I now have two senior dogs that frequent the vet often and we have the wellness plan, it's worth every penny. I seriously couldn't recommend a better vet hospital. read more

Extremely overpriced and terribly inefficient. Do your dog and your wallet a favor and look elsewhere.

Sadly, a week ago, we had to put our Morkie, Jack, to sleep. He was almost 16 and had heart and arthritis problems. Staff at Camden had professionally and caringly treated him for 9 years. When the day came, they treated Jack and us with great compassion and care. We were given a private, beautifully decorated room, used to put him to sleep. They gave us time with him before, during, and after the procedure. This is our second dog that has been cared for at Camden. The place may not be fancy or located in a fancy strip mall, but the care given is exemplary. You can trust them with the care of your loved furry one. read more

I have brought every cat I've owned to the Camden Pet hospital for the past 15+ years. I've brought them for regular checkups and vaccines and I've brought them in some emergency situations. They have always been willing to work with me on payments, and most importantly, they have always been honest with me. I've brought my last three elderly cats after they passed to Camden Pet Hospital. This is a delicate time and Camden Pet hospital has always been an amazing source of comfort and understanding. Bring your Pet to Camden Pet Hospital. Let their compassion and love for your pets comfort you in some of the most difficult times of being a pet owner. You will not regret ti. read more

We have been taking our pets to Camden for over a decade. We used to live very close but we continued to take our pets there after we moved away, because we trust them and they have always been so kind, caring, and conscientious about spending our money. They always try to recommend several options, because as we all know caring for pets can get pretty darn expensive. Recently one of our cats was very ill on a weekend, and they recommended Como after hours pet hospital because they only charge day rates. We are so grateful to the staff at Camden for all of the care they have given our pets over the years and will continue to bring our pets there. Highly recommended! read more

10/5! We brought our Sarge in yesterday and the entire staff did nothing but comfort, reassure, and care for us and our boy! They made a stressful situation as stress free as possible with extremely fair prices! and we'll be back! read more

Such a great experience! I came here because I saw a review on their rabbit care and needed a vet who takes rabbits. As a first time pet owner, I couldn't have asked for more from a veterinarian and tech. My baby bunny Lola ended up being a boy... and i could tell how much the vet cared by how thorough she was about rabbit care! Thank you!!!! Highly Recommend! read more

I took my fur baby in on 10/25/22 for a lump. The vet advised the lump was overgrown hormones and nothing to worry about. I couldn't afford the $1200 they wanted for surgery to remove it. In April 2023 I noticed the lump getting bigger, I called Camden to advise, make an appt, and asked if they offered a payment plan. I was told they didn't offer a payment plan for surgeries. They scheduled the appointment, looked at her and decided on sx the next day. I received multiple calls on the day of sx, one of which the Vet skipped around the fact that she had breast cancer by using medical terms I literally had to ask "are you saying she has cancer". I had to choose to let her go which has been extremely hard!! When I went to pick her up after cremation, which they wouldn't release unless I set up a plan to pay for them essentially killing my pup. NOW they offered a plan!!! When asked Katie, the receptionist why wasn't I advised she had breast cancer she stated "that Vet is one of few words and is no longer with Camden". I was there for two hours in which they made decreased the bill twice without being asked. It took them 20 mins to give me a copy of the report from October, which I found they fraudulently added notes. read more

We LOVE this vet! We have a 4 year old Boxer/Pit mix and he seems to find a way to hurt himself about every 3 months. We went to Camden when we moved to Minneapolis last fall. The area is kind of ghetto (it is a lower income N. Mpls area) but the people who work here are amazing! Everyone is really nice, friendly, and always understanding of a hyper dog jumping up at the counter to say hello. Our dog recently had a curled nail that was causing him a lot of pain. Dr. Kelsey did everything she could to fix the nail without causing our dog any more pain. Ultimately, we had to sedate him to cut the nail back. I was given a estimation of the cost and I was shocked when the total cost was at $170! I was expecting a bill of at least $300 based on what I had heard on the internet about similar procedures. If that wasn't good enough, they said I could drop my dog off anytime after 7am the next day even though his surgery wasn't until 11am. They also said they would hold on to him and I could pick him up after work before 6pm! Not only was it going to be cheaper than I expected, but I didn't have to take time off work to do it! But wait, it gets better. They follow up on their appointments. I usually get a call 1-2 days after bringing him in just to see how he's doing and if he's having any issues with medications or bandages. I even got a call asking if I wanted to bring him in and they would cut off a bandage on his foot for free and then they could see how it was healing. To sum it up, this place rocks. The doctors, technicians, and receptionists are all great, professional, and really care about animals. Dr. Kelsey is amazing with our high-energy dog and the prices are always extremely competitive. We'll continue to go to this vet as long as we live in NE Minneapolis. Oh...and don't pay attention to Daisy's review. Why bother to write a review if you're just going to be vague about the "disturbing" info you found? Sounds like you are an inexperienced and self-entitled pet owner. read more

I just recently adopted a Samoyed (Artie) and he has gotten ill. We went in to this clinic and it was amazing!!! The doctor made us so comfortable and answered all my questions. The doctor never once showed me any impatience, wrote Artie a prescription with clear instructions, helped me understand why Artie might need an x-ray if he keeps coughing and the meds don't work well enough. I felt like I got the information/help I was seeking from beginning (setting up the appointment) to the end (leaving the appointment more confident) from the staff, technician and vet. This will be my Artie's doctor from now on. They were absolutely wonderful. read more

Took my bulldog to this vet Because her regular vet was closed. When we arrived and filled out the paperwork, I was very specific in listing all of the symptoms my dog was having. I even had videos to show how bad her seizures were. My husband and I were given a list of procedures they wanted to perform on her and explained each one to us so that we would understand what was important and what can wait. We were reassured that the less expensive blood test would give them a really good idea of what could possibly be going on with our baby girl. The vet was trying to tell us that it had something to do with our dogs neck because when she manipulated her head she screamed, the reason we were bringing her in is because she was having some very extreme seizures, her bowels were not control, she has extended panting, when she has her seizures her whole body reacts so violently. On top of that her vision has now deteriorated and she snaps at you because she can't see you. She's weak a majority of the time and these things came on rather quickly within an hours time. After spending 200+ dollars we were given an anti-inflammatory for her neck pain problem and some pain pills and sent home with no treatment plan. That night and the next day our poor baby girl had quite a few seizures which resulted in her being in a coma like sleep for about 13 hours straight, I had to force-feed her water with the medication and hopes that it would perk her up or we could see some sign of improvement. Throughout these hours she use the restroom on herself several times and because she was completely passed out I took the task of cleaning her and changing the bed pads that she had under her. We decided later on that afternoon to call a different vet, we took our for baby to mission pet hospital where they saw her immediately and a neurologist was able to tell us in the first hour of us being there that it was a form of brain tumor or an inflammation of the brain. The moment we walked in the doors with our pop they scooped her up and took her to the back, putting her on an IV to stabilize her because they could tell something was wrong. Camden did none of these things. Once they get her blood work back and saw that yes something is affecting her brain they talked with us about our options, something Camden pet hospital did not do, they sent us home with a series of medications and because the visit in the medications was a significant cost they put us on a payment plan. If we would have done nothing like Camden pet hospital suggested we do , because only thing that was wrong with her according to them was a sore neck she would be dead. She is on 10 different medications which has now started to give us some hope. She has n 15 hours without a single seizure. Do not bring your pet here because your pet may not be alive the next day. Update: it has taken my family and I several months to get over what we went they with our baby Chevy, despite Chevy being on several medications about a month after she was misdiagnosed she had a cluster of seizures that made her go into a coma. We had too then make the choice to put her down because the neurologist said there was no hope for her coming out of what she was in and the pain that she was experiencing was never going to go away regardless of all of the medications she was on. We are out our baby and we had rescued from a breeder, she was A rare breed a bulldog costing over $5200 but more than that our family is out our baby who we loved as if she was one of our own children. We are out several thousands of dollars because Camden pet hospital did not want to take the time to find out what was really wrong with our baby. We have extensive medical records proving that Camden pet hospital in Minneapolis is A contributing factor to the death of our dog who was only four years old. If they would have taken the time and have the compassion to listen to my husband and I and diagnosed her correctly by taking x-rays or whatever they needed to do to find out what was going on we could have given her the surgery Or medication which ever would have helped her and she would be alive. We are realistic puppy parents in knowing that when your animal does get a brain tumor their lifespan shortens but with the right care medication in surgery you can't prolong your pets life so they can have a happy fulfilled loving life but that was taken from us because of Camden pet Hospital. read more

First visit with my rabbit here, since they came recommended. After his exam I found out they couldn't restrain him properly and he ended up flipping off of the table when they tried to check his teeth and that he needed to be sedated. I'm just glad he wasn't injured. I recommend going other places for rabbit nail trims as well, quite expensive here. I'm glad they ended up giving me other vet recommendations. read more

I have been taking my cat, Mona, to Camden Pet Hospital for years and have always been very happy with their services. But I have to say that they really went above and beyond in dealing with my cat's recent cancer diagnosis and euthanasia. Not only did they provide me with competent, compassionate care, they even jumped my car when I couldn't get my car started after an appointment. Deciding on treatment options is always a tough decision but Dr. Johns listened to me and helped me to make the best decision for Mona. All the staff are really wonderful. Highly recommend. read more

I've been taking my dogs to Camden since we adopted them five years ago. It's super close to my house and they came highly recommended. We've seen all the vets at Camden and they've all been great, although my dogs especially love Dr. Kelsey. Dr. Fetzer went above and beyond to help me solve a mysterious health issue one dog was having and I greatly appreciated her efforts. The techs we've worked with have all been friendly and helpful. We'll keep taking Jack and JJ to Camden for as long as they're in need of care! read more

We have been bringing our dogs to Camden Pet Hospital for almost 20 years. Love the "newer" space they have. I have been grateful to the staff at CPH so many times. They have always taken excellent care of my dogs. I can tell you they go above and beyond, and we have had some complicated cases. Plus, I am the type that likes to always research the illness on my own, and the Doctor's here have no problem answering ALL my questions! I don't know why but, we have had some bad luck with things going totally wrong after hours. To the point of having to put one of ours down at the emergency vet. It was a horrible experience, and nothing compared to the compassion and care our dog and us received at his end of life with our most recent one. Just wish there was a way they could be put down at home if that time comes. Puppies to elderly dogs, CPH has been great and has helped us and our loved ones for many years. read more

I have been bringing my cats here for quite some time. The service and attention have always been outstanding. In the cases where I have had to use emergency vet services the transition of info to Camden was seamless. The reception and tech team members are very personable, and the doctor's there are great. I have never felt pressured to buy services that I didn't feel were necessary, and I have never been shamed by them (this is the reason I left my previous vet in Brooklyn Park to come to Camden). Dr. Fetzer is particularly great, and they have a hospital mascot cat. What more do you need? read more

We were unhappy with our prior vet (Greenbrier) with our two senior cats who have now passed away, so for our new little kitten, we were determined to find a better place. When it came time for spaying, I reached out to friends on Facebook to get their best recommendations. I talked to three vet tech friends--one in great detail. I also checked Yelp reviews, and I called 18 places and kept notes on a spreadsheet. Yes, I did. This is our sweet petunia we're talking about. For several reasons, Camden rose to the top. Then my real questions started, and the staff there were extremely generous with their time in answering even more questions and accommodating us. SO MANY thanks to Dr Kelsey Johnson. Really, so kind, smart, knowledgeable, and generous. (And it's a little bit of a drive for me, so her other vet appointments had been elsewhere--she wasn't even a patient there yet!) I couldn't have asked for better care, as much for our kitten as for our over-protective-parent routine. They even posted a pic of her on FB post-surgery, curled up with my scarf and recovering. They sent home pain meds, and called to check on her. They looked at photos of her healing belly a week later to assure us she looked right. I would absolutely trust them with our dear friends in furry bodies again. read more

I have been taking my pets to Camden since 2000. The staff there TRULY love their animals. Dr. Fetzer and Dr. Benning are so knowledgable. What more, they say dogs are a good judge of character and my dogs LOVE going there. The front desk staff are so kind and fun. Not only is the ENTIRE staff knowledgeble and caring, they also have a great sense of humor as well. I absolutely LOVE how they really try hard to get my pet in if there is a sudden need. My ONLY negative observation is that they are a little more pricey than other places. I did some checking around and for a particular procedure one place was HALF the cost of what Camden quoted me. BUT, I can't seem to go anywhere else, due the staff and their caring nature for my dogs. They're very genuine animal lovers!!!!!!! read more

The worst vet I have ever been too!! They were unprofessional and inexperienced, Unfortunately I was referred by a friend and didn't research them until after the fact.and what I found was disturbing, read more

We just moved to Mpls from NYC where we had to leave our spectacular vet. We were dreading the search and we figured that we'd have to make a few appointments over time, at different places to find a vet that we liked. I did some research and Camden's prices were approximately 10.00 less per office visit and 60.00 less per neuter compared to other vets. When we walked in the office was cleanly, we were greeted kindly and we were almost immediately seen by the assistant and doctor. The doctor spent 45 minutes discussing the million questions I had and she never seemed rushed. She also talked us out of a couple tests to save $. Afterwards it took a day and a half to get our results back but Overall, I think we found an good veterinarian!! read more

My 14 year old daughter finally convinced us to let her have a rabbit...by agreeing to pay for EVERYTHING! Camden Pet Hospital was on the Bunny Savvy Vet list, so we chose them for a neuter. Every member of the staff (including the veterinarian) were friendly and kind & took the time to answer all our questions. They were extremely nice & friendly to the bunny as well. They took excellent care of him during & after the procedure & sent us home with medication to manage post procedure pain. A couple of days later they called to check on how he was doing. Perhaps what impressed me most was the way they spoke to my daughter, the owner. They spoke directly to her (as opposed to me, the adult) & took her seriously. As a mom, I really appreciated that! Thanks to everyone there for the great experience! read more

We have brought our animals here for many years, and so has my mother. We have always received great service and reasonable prices.

Very disorganized as soon as you walk through the door. Over the last year it seems as though turnover has been particularly high, which is concerning on its own. During each of our last three visits there the attention we have received has been less than desirable. I felt like they weren't listening to me and just kind of doing their own thing during their evaluation. I would ask medical type questions to their technicians and some had no clue how to answer my questions. At my last visit, the vet gave me time to think about my options and make a decision, but then never returned to discuss my decision and any questions I had surrounding the options given. I had been going here since roughly 2012 and I feel like this Clinic has turned into a quantity vs quality Turn Style model. I very much felt like a number and like I was being rushed out of the clinic when they were done with me. I have had to make several calls to get follow up answers as it's very difficult to get anyone to call you back around there. When the vet finally called me back it seems like she had 50 other things on her mind. I gave them a couple chances as maybe they were just having a bad or busy day. Inattentiveness, disorganization , lack of follow-up is starting to seem like more the new norm. Also, I'm not quite sure why they seem to have the technical issues they do. Their phones and computers seem to be "down" an awful lot lately, which makes getting any of your questions answered very difficult. If you're into getting what you pay for or are the type of person who has a lot of questions during a visit, I suggest you find a different Clinic that will give you the time you need and are paying for. I just don't feel like my visit fee equated very well to the time spent with me and my animal, which was less than 10 minutes in total (tech and Vet).. read more

I never write on these things, but I thought it would be good for people to know before choosing a vet if you read reviews as part of your research. I felt completely upset with the service I received and spoke with the vet after she gave us the WRONG dose of medication and almost killed our dog! I spent many hours and dollars at the emergency clinic and they told me that if the vet wouldn't have given him that dose he wouldn't have even been here. Watch out! read more

we had taken our pets to this place for over 35 years and we were totally dumped as customers. the last few times we had reason to take a pet in it was hard to get them to accommodate us because it seemed like they were becoming more of a dog and cat place and not for guinea pigs like we have. the vet was reasonable but over time the staff started to become increasingly cold and rude when we made a visit. small animal care was dropping out of sight and there was just no place for us. the crushing blow came when i called for a visit for a guinea pig i noticed was in trouble. the appointment was never made because the vet was just not there for us and my precious pig died.this was a crisis and they couldn't even give him a quick check to make sure he could make it until they did want to see him! a couple days later my husband surprised me with 2 more guinea pigs from the humane society and we had just a couple weeks to get them in for free check-ups and i also wanted one done on the cage mate of the one that passed away. they didn't have time for us! they delayed giving us a definite answer on whether they would take them until we lost the free check-ups that the humane society had given us! when our little one passed we took him in for them to send him out for animal cremation and to have the ashes returned to us like we have done for every pet we ever owned. we also asked that the traditional clay mold be made of his foot with his name on it. usually we got the ashes and the clay mold at the same time because we picked them up from the clinic. a couple days later we got the mold in the mail all by itself!! in the mail!! i was so shocked that i called them immediately and asked what was going on. i was told that the ashes and the mold had been dropped in the mail. i was told that we would get a letter in the mail explaining why...so far we haven't seen either this letter or his ashes yet! we are so crushed!! we never did anything to bring this kind of reaction on and are so appalled at what they've done we don't know right now just where to turn! my baby is not home.....i don't know where he is or if he was even cremated like we paid for! we can't get any decent answers from them. please think twice about taking any smaller pet to this place! we wish we would have found a new vet years ago. read more
