I am just astounded by the care and service my cat and I received here at Magruder-Tab animal…read moreclinic. My cat has been sick by coughing and sneezing for about two years now. I've been seeing another clinic in that time and have spent a lot of money trying to figure out what is wrong with her. I've been told she's healthy, nothing seems wrong, she seems okay. Then they recommend blood samples and other expensive tests to be done. I spent enough money and asked a friend who she takes her animals to. She suggested Magruder. My goodness what a difference. We got her shots and were in and out. Right before I left, as Dr Fedor and I were chatting (I highly recommend her, by the way), I mentioned the coughing and hard sneezing and my cat generally looking unwell. She said well, it's probably feline herpes. You can get meds on Amazon for like $20. So I took that advice. It's been about a month and I have my playful cat back! She looks like she feels so much better. No more sneezing, coughing, hiding, and a lot more rolling around, snuggling, and mischievous fun-loving behavior. I have my cat back. I am so happy and so is she. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this clinic to take your babies to. By the way, their prices are much more affordable. I won't wince the next time I need to get my cat child a check up.

The clinic itself is flawlessly maintained, a bright, pleasant place. Every facet of my ongoing visits has been nothing short of excellent. Dr. G is a fantastic, caring, knowledgeable Veterinarian. Her compassion and skill are on display every single visit. She provides clear, caring, unvarnished truth, backed by decades of experience. She is obviously well-versed, and evidently maintains an ongoing study of current practices, coupled with a common-sense approach. You could not ask for more in a Vet. All the staff and technicians are superb - kind, caring and attentive. They accommodate difficult situations with ease and aplomb. No one tries to sell you anything. In fact, they provide honest observations, coupled with pragmatic advice. The well-being of the animal is their primary concern. All in all, this is a remarkable and amazing place for pet care.

My sister's cat Tiggers had an aural hematoma and she asked for my help since she couldn't afford…read moreto pay to take him to the Vet. When asked where she normally went for vet care, she said Salty Paws near where she lives in Hampton. Since I live in VA Beach, I asked my son to drive the 45mins north to take Tiggers to the vet. Visit #1 on 6 Nov: $500, said needed some shots and flea treatment and to come back 10 Nov. Attempted Visit #2: Major wreck and fire on the 64. Took my son over an hour to drive from VA Beach For Tiggers scheduled appointment and turned away for being FOUR minutes late. FOUR! after an hour drive across town. Told to come back the next day. By the way, I am a Navy healthcare provider and it is preposterous to turn someone away prior to 15minutes past the scheduled appointment time as we take into consideration traffic and travel throughout the Hampton Roads area. Visit #3 11 Nov: another $500 for them to put a straw through his ear, give some more meds and scheduled follow up 2 weeks later. 1 week later and the poor cat is still miserable without any obvious decrease of swelling to his ear. Blood is matted into his fur down the side of his face. So we decide to take him to a local vet in VA Beach. We simply can't wait another week because we're really concerned for the misery of this cat. Being turned away for being 4mins late the last time really ticked me off and I was no longer feeling like I wanted to continue care with Salty Paws at this point. Local Vet takes one look at Tiggers and exclaims: What the HECK is that???!!! Do you mind if we take a picture so we can train our vets on what NOT to do??? The straw that was supposed 'drain' his ear, literally went straight through-- so how the heck was this providing any drainage?? The blood and pus seeped out from around the straw, not through it. And of course another $500 for that visit. Vet pulled out the tube, gave some more meds plus an antibiotic (since Salty Paws didn't give him one despite being at major risk for infection) fully drained the ear, kindly shaved the area where the fur had gotten filled with blood, and then had to stitch up the mangled mess that was done at Salty Paws. The Vet was also incredibly concerned that Salty Paws didn't have any detailed medical documentation about the treatment they provided Tiggers. For human healthcare this would be considered MALPRACTICE. This place felt like they were more concerned with a cash grab than actually improving the health of my cat in swift, compassionate way. Tiggers (now my family cat adopted from my sister) got his stitches out today and is feeling much better.

CARE is a closer ER vet to me, and the ER vet I have used in the past, but on Tuesday night at 1:30 AM when my dog had been unproductively retching, pacing and licking for over an hour, they were closed. AEC was a 40 minute drive, but worth every minute of that drive. I called ahead to let them know I was coming and the present symptoms. When I arrived, Bear was acting totally normal, but out of precaution (and to save going home and coming right back around) I asked to still have some diagnostics run. AEC was upfront about the high and low end costs (very reasonable compared to past ER visits) and the staff was kind, understanding and informative. Dr. Crist took time to walk me through Bear's radiographs and explain what I was seeing as well as answer all of my lingering questions. As a dog mom to another who has chronic gastritis managed with meds and a prescription diet, I have spent a lot of time discussing the dog digestive tract and GI issues with the regular vet and Dr. ChatGPT. Dr. Crist answered all of my questions with clear, thorough explanations. I didn't get names in the moment, but the three vet techs I interacted with were also kind and knowledgeable, even at 3 am when most normal humans are fast asleep!
