I can't say enough good things about Dr. Tittle and everyone at Eastown Veterinary Clinic…read more Everyone's love of animals is palpable the second you step in - the gals behind the counter happily greet us and our fur-baby each time, for instance. We had a routine follow-up, and our visit was massively delayed - because Dr. Tittle was assisting two dog emergencies (ingestion of chocolate and a heart attack). The entire staff was extremely apologetic, but frankly, I don't mind waiting; if that were my pet, I'd want my vet to be able to give that much time and attention. And Dr. Happel actually figured out our kitty had feline herpes, after we'd spent 2 years trying to manage her inappropriate elimination. Plus, they're reasonably priced, and with the app, it's easy to keep track of appts and prescriptions. Enthusiastic, incredibly friendly, and exuberantly in love with our furry family members - I couldn't ask for a better place to take our kitty.

This is a review you never want to have to write... to be honest…read more When the time came for us to make the difficult decision to send our 11.5 year old bulldog to heaven, I knew that we wanted him to be comfortable and stress-free at home. I had used another pet hospice company a few years prior for our first dog, but they were not open on Sunday and I wanted to make the appointment for Monday. Lap of Love came up on Google as another option in Grand Rapids - they are new in the area in the last 1.5 years. They were open and taking calls on a Sunday and after going through their website, i decided that I was comfortable enough to make the phone call. I had my hesitations due to the company being a national chain but reviews put me at ease; the local Grand Rapids Lap of Love is a local vet team. The initial phone call was easy enough. The person who I spoke with was very sympathetic and let me cry and compose myself multiple times while making me feel comfortable to do so. I appreciated that they did take payment at that time, so I would not have to worry about it the day of. They sent a conformation email after the phone call with any info we may need. The day of Dr. Kelly called to let me know she was on her way and gave me her ETA. When she arrived she was very kind, gentle, and sympathetic to the situation. She explained everything in detail before she started, talked with us about our boy, and made the whole situation as easy as possible. She walked us through everything she was doing, always asking permission before she did anything. She put us at ease with her gentle nature and her compassion. She told us to cuddle him, lay with him, hold him, or whatever we wanted. She would work around us. Giving us the freedom to feel comfortable and not awkward during such a sensitive time. She took a paw print for us, offered to trim a lock of hair, and gave us a booklet on grieving for a pet before she left. As we had opted to take care of his remains, she made sure we were okay and had everything we needed and any questions we had. The following day she sent a very nice email expressing her sympathy and offering some support options, should we need it. I am so thankful for compassionate Dr.'s like Dr. Kelly who are there to help families in such a difficult time. Loosing a pet is hard and having to make the decision to end their suffering is gut wrenching and such a hard choice to make. I am very thankful for the option to do it at home where our dog was comfortable, stress-free, and relaxed. Should anyone find themselves in the situation where they have the luxury of letting their pet pass at home, I would highly recommend to look into at home euthanasia - Lap of Love was truly great.

Our poor Molly is apparently afraid of white coats - and upon learning this, they updated her chart and so they can make sure staff are not wearing coats when she comes. Even though she needed bloodwork at our visit today, the staff gave her plenty of treats and attention (the one thing she values most of all) to the point where she did not want to leave. We are so grateful to have found a clinic that gives our pets the same love and care that we do.

I can confidently say that all the doctors, nurses, and staff that I have encountered truly care about our pets. I spent hours in the ICU comforting my cat while he was fighting to recover and I saw tears in doctors eyes for other patients & clients; I heard the unfiltered surprise and determination in their voice when they would be called away on (another) emergency, and I felt their professionalism as well as compassion in every interaction. I wish I could name everyone to whom I am eternally grateful for taking care of our sick pets, but I know there were people on my pets' care who I never even met because they were behind the scenes! And I'm just as thankful for them as I am to the doctors and nurses who I did have the pleasure to meet. I trusted them with my pets' lives and I know they did everything they could to keep them healthy, even when circumstances don't always follow the path we'd wish. Thank you to everyone at Blue Pearl, we'd be lost without you!

I was a client at this veterinary office for almost 8 years. I originally chose them because I…read morewanted a place that would love my dogs as much as I do. Over time, I noticed that the customer service felt performative--what some call "West Michigan Nice." I expressed in a survey that I wished for more authenticity and genuine service. The office manager followed up with me, asking for examples, which I provided. Shortly after, I was told they had decided to part ways with no prior warning or explanation. Instead of a conversation about any supposed concerns with me as a client, they sent their lawyer to inform me that my relationship was being terminated--not because of the survey, but due to a "pattern of interactions" over the years. This was the first time I had ever been told anything like that. If there were actual concerns about me as a client, why was I never given a warning in nearly 8 years? The lawyer also stated they would not refund me for my Vaccines for Life program unless I signed a non-disparagement agreement, which I refused. Reading through my dog's medical records after being terminated, I discovered comments about me that I had never been made aware of. It felt as though they had been secretly building a case against me while still taking my money for years. This experience has left me deeply disappointed and disheartened. I entrusted them with my beloved dogs, particularly my pup with Addison's disease, and never expected such cold treatment from a place that claims to be compassionate. Additionally, after my survey response, they changed their survey format to no longer ask, "What could we do to be more satisfactory?" Instead, they now only ask for rating scales--further proving that they only wanted feedback that made them feel good, not feedback that would actually help them improve. I wanted to work this out with them because my dogs received good medical care, but at the end of the day, I realized this wasn't the place for me or them. I don't recommend this clinic to others for these reasons. This review reflects my personal experiences and opinions.

The care they exhibit for animals is something to be admired. I've experienced a few emergencies over the years and Dr. Renshaw and Dr. Gilroy have both gone out of their way (EVEN AFTER HOURS) to help. The prices are also FAR BELOW what I was accustomed to paying at my previous vets and I've literally never been upsold on something I didn't need (which is certainly not the case at other places) Example: cat needs his teeth cleaned. $180 at the animal clinic. Same procedure at the Eastown vet: $973 Prices are one thing but the true clincher is the compassion and love that everyone at this place has for animals. They are truly the best vet in the Grand Rapids area.
