Not only is the staff extremely personable, helpful, and supportive, they are also very accommodating and will go above and beyond to ensure care is affordable and accessible. There are no hidden charges, no additional upsell in services or products. The building is clean, well cared for, and has a comforting environment for pets and owners, alike. Even though we've lost a few of our family members here throughout the years, I couldn't imagine taking my furbabes anywhere else. This is truly a great local business. Thanks for all you do Harbor Animal Hospital!

I'd never want someone to have to go here with my experience. We had to humanely euthanize our very…read moreold and very sick cocker spaniel. It was a very tragic and emotional time. The staff made it slightly more bearable though. Very friendly, kind, considerate, and non-judgmental. I don't know why I would expect them to be judgy, but I'm happy that they were there when I needed them. I will consider going here for the health of my other fur family members any day of the week. Thank you for being there for us in our time of need.

That office went corporate and service went downhill We never left Beach Park due to dissatisfaction, as they always provided excellent care for all of our dogs over the years.

Every time I have come to this location, I have had a bad experience. Not only was I laughed at…read moreduring my first visit and asked why I shaved my dog (who is balding due to pituitary dwarfism) I was informed they never looked at his records. I was asked by the vet at that visit if I googled conditions and decided on my own that my dog had pituitary dwarfism and if I knew how incredibly rare the condition was and he most likely did not have it. I had done a DNA test at a previous vet before I had moved and he was diagnosed there thru a blood panel. They treated me like I had no knowledge of the condition or my dogs healthcare. I had to advise them on the condition and made sure they looked at his records while I was there. The prices have also sky rocketed. I typically get the medication off of the website at reasonable prices. Thyroids tabs are $25 online but picking up from the location, half of the pills were triple the price. I spent close to $100 for about 30 pills. I wasn't allowed back with my dog during an exam and blood work for his thyroid levels. He was given back to me covered in feces, pee, and blood with his arm wrapped with a bandage. They didn't even clean him after he had an accident from being scared. I was talked over on the phone by the secretary and disrespected. I could not even get a word in the entire conversation. I asked my records to be sent to a new vet over six times before they finally were sent over. I couldn't see a different vet without the records going through, and BP wouldn't see me without a ridiculous amount of things my pet did not need. Trying to upsell drastically. I was told my exam was $85 plus. My appointment was looking at being over $1,000. I called Grays-lake animal hospital and their exams are $72.50. I asked about the prices for what my dog needs and it is much cheaper than BP. My vet bill at Grays-lake will be closer to $500. Half of what BP said. Grays-lake also took the time to ask all of the vets if they have experience with dwarfism to help my dog live his best possible life. Would not recommend this location to anyone.

They were willing to let us come by regularly to visit with our puppy (Lucy). We brought Lucy home on July 2nd, and we couldn't be happier. She is very well behaved with a great personality. The Matkovich family has 4 dogs (2 golden retrievers and a labradoodle for breeding, and a family dog that is some mixture of breeds). This was great because our puppy was socialized with other dogs as well as the rest of the litter and the Matkovich children. We took Lucy to the vet, and she slept through the entire appointment and received a clean bill of health. She barely even moved when she received her shots. If you have an opportunity to get a puppy from one of the litters, I am confident you won't be disappointed.

I've found myself in need of their care twice so far, and both times they've been kind, compassionate, and caring. For a non-regular veterinary appointment, the cost is reasonable, and they take a proactive approach to diagnostics without going overboard with expense. While I hope I don't have to see them on a regular basis, I've happily driven the 30+ minutes each way and will continue to do so when something occurs outside of my vet's regular business hours. Thank you Dr. Cabellero, Dr. Derse, and VetMedic staff! Your thoughtful care is so appreciated!
