I am a huge fan of the Huron Clinic. I've been taking my two cats there for probably two years now, having been referred by a friend when I was ready to tear my hair out over high prices and frustrating veterinary practices. I met Dr. Ulrich who has a straight forward way of dealing with people. He's very patient, very open, and very good with animals. Something about him just puts me AND my cats at ease. I feel like we're finally with someone that knows what he's doing and isn't just blindly guessing and requesting tests. It's refreshing. He's just hired Dr. Beale, who I met this evening, and I couldn't be happier. She compliments the clinic beautifully. My cat loved her, and her advice was well thought out. She listened to my concerns and didn't rush our time together. I could not love this place more. I was concerned when I heard he'd hired someone new, because I want to see Dr. Ulrich when I go, but now, after meeting Dr. Beale, I'm certain she'll do just as great a job. Plus, the rest of the staff is amazing. I'm bummed that every time I go in, I don't get their names, but they know every patient and they give the place it's welcoming vibe. The administrative lady is wonderful and always answers my questions and provides excellent service. She pretty much runs the store, and the clinic. She's always so happy and nice to every person and animal. I wish I knew the name of the vet tech. I bet my cat does too. He turns into a puddle of sweet goo when she stops by to say hi. She has an accent I can't place, but if you meet her, you'll love her too. She has a way with animals. Sometimes, I think seeing her is my cats only pleasure outside my house. So, in conclusion, if you're looking for a new vet, look no further. I've never had a bad experience, or paid too much money, or for anything unnecessary at all. I love this place so much that I would gladly wear a t-shirt if they gave it to me. read more

Yelp for the win. We brought Beatrice- Beatriz to this clinic for her first check up with 'us' as her parents. She was checked out and complimented profusely by Dr. Ulrich. He is a really nice gentle man who clearly loves what he does. Like everyone else he fell in total love with Beatice (all 3.5 pds of her) and even appreciated her regal name. She got a rabies vaccine and an intra nasal vaccine. Clean bill of health and peace of mind $87.00. It's totally worth it. I also witnessed a woman walk in with her hurtin' puppy and he saw her right away, which I thought was the right thing for any dr. to do. It's nice to know that if we had an emergency we could pop in and receive the same treatment. When I asked him about a product (revolution drops for heart worm, intestinal parasites, ear mites and flea's) that I ordered on my own, he didn't try to persuade me to a product they carry and actually recommended it. I think that says a lot about the kind of vet he is. Now, if only he can make Beatrice- Beatriz life forever we are all set. read more

My cat got sick about a week before a vacation that my boyfriend and I had been planning for months. Sylvie never gets sick, but she was throwing up everywhere and moping around so we immediately took her over to see Dr. Ulrich because he was the closest vet to our house. Turns out, he's also the best one too! Dr. Ulrich was so patient and caring with Sylvie, and even stayed well after office hours on a Saturday to find out what was wrong with her. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally called us to come pick her up and tell us the diagnosis. He took the time to explain what was most likely making her sick, went through all the x-rays in great detail and told us what we needed to do to make her well again. In short, he was amazing! Sylvie didn't even seem to mind it when he clipped her nails (something that we have trouble with all the time). We gave her the medicine he prescribed and she got better fast enough for us to still go on our vacation knowing that she would be totally fine. Dr. Ulrich genuinely cares for the animals that are brought into him, and I really don't think we could've found a better place to rush our cat to in that sort of emergency. read more

Dr. Ulrich is the B-E-S-T. Loving and gentle, always takes the time to listen and explain and give useful information about both physical and mental aspects of your pet. He always makes time for you even if he's booked. Especially awesome and knowledgeable about cats. (I suspect he is a crazy cat man. In a good way.) His demeanor is so relaxed and calming, animals just chill when they get in there, even my most nervous cat. We recently rescued a homeless cat and her litter of kittens and I cant explain how helpful he was in getting them de-wormed and giving advice on the abandoned runt we had to hand raise. He even took the mother in and personally helped find her a home through shelters he works with. Prices are VERY reasonable and I dont recall ever walking out with a bill higher than $80 even when I go in with multiple animals for vaccinations. They don't rip you off on meds either. (I've been to Angell Memorial before and there you'll pay 300% more for a far less personal and pleasant experience.) As if Dr. U weren't awesome enough, we also found out he volunteers with a catch and release spaying and neutering program for area stray cats. Apparenly Brighton and Somerville have huge stray colonies. If you're a sucker for a homeless cat, steer clear. I've got 4!!! I need to move. We have recommended him to several people and all came back with rave reviews. The place simply rocks, for people and their pets. PS: They also board cats for $17 a day. Our 2 kittens are going in while we are on vacation. Normally I would never board them but I know they will be loved and in good hands there! read more

This place is amazing and we love Dr. Ulrich. Highly recommend on all accounts.

They love your cats, even when they jump out windows...... We got a new boy Emmett in May, that I brought in with my other cat that loves ...*cough* tolerates *cough* him ...just for a check up. I thought Dr. Ulrich was going to STEAL him. He gushed about his man 'Jowels' which apparently is a technical term for the long fuzzy pieces that stick out from the sides of his chin. In all seriousness, he was also knowledgable about the place where we got him from (which apparently they are not his favorite rescue) and explained his 'pee pee' (spraying) issues were probably related to being neutered so close to adoption, and assured me that would stop soon. (it did) He also addressed our concerns about our girl Roxy, and said that we should continue to keep an eye on her dropping weight. Fast forward a few weeks: Roxy keeps barfing, losing weight. I end up seeing Dr Beale with Roxy. She was completely amazing and took blood from her without Roxy so much as flinching. Turns out she has Hyperthyroidism (overactive) and she walked me through the med she would need, and also told me to purchase over the counter Pepcid for her upset tummy. And then, my cat leapt out a window. Yup. That happened. Upon seeing a stray pee on our porch door, our protective Emmett launched himself OUT THE SCREEN. We only knew when our neighbor knocked on our door, and we found a scared cat covered in blood!! (fortunately for him it was the other cats blood). I called the next day and Dr. Beale was able to see him, give him a rabies booster and check his fuzzy highness for boo-boos. I'm going to start going here for MY check-ups. read more

I love love love Huron Vet! When we rescued Bruce Wayne 4 years ago, we wanted to get him checked out right quick. Lucky for us, we were able to get an appointment with Dr. Ulrich's practice right quick. (As I've seen on their website as of late, they are not currently accepting new patients! Too bad!) With the help of Dr. Ulrich, Bruce was able to go from a 16lbs bruiser to 12lbs in one year! Dr. Ulrich gave us strict food guidelines and Bruce exercised his way to perfection. Bruce checked in today for a dental appointment and while he was cool as a cucumber, I was really nervous. Everything was explained to me in detail when I dropped him off. And I promptly received a call once the procedures were complete from Dr. Leaf. Dr. Leaf walked me through all the procedures and all the after-care instructions. I am happy to have my little guy home and he seems to be no worse for the wear. I have had nothing but excellent service from all the members of the Huron Vet family. They all really love Bruce and, although going to the vet is not his favorite thing, he loves all the extra attention he gets from everyone there! So glad to have found this place! read more

The last time I went to Huron Veterinary Hospital, Dr. Ulrich was on vacation, and I saw a nice lady whose name I promptly forgot. The experience was quick but wholly unmemorable. Then I saw Dr. Ulrich, and now I know why he's a Yelp superstar. My kitty Lydia is a grouchy old lady who can turn on you at the drop of a hat, and I have the scars up and down my arms to prove it. In the car on the way over, Smashing Pumpkins came on, and we were singing together, "Despite all my rage, I am still just a cat in a cage..." That is, I was singing, while she was howling with seething fuming fury. Meow. I was afraid she'd make a scene for the doc, but he treated Lyds like the sweetest little puddy-tat ever, and didn't she just eat it right up? Rubbing her head with his chin, kissing her - maybe it sounds creepy, but I was entranced, and so was she, because she let Dr. Ulrich clean out her grody ear, check her teeth, give her an injection, weigh her (tubby thing she is), and give her a distemper vaccine, all without a whimper or a howl, just by pouring affection onto her. This man loves animals...but the cat whisperer doesn't have the right ring to it. I'm seriously impressed. And when it comes time for another rabies shot, Lydia the kittia and I will be back. read more

My cat is the biggest drama queen a pet could be. She also has a pretty nasty side so taking her to the vet is anything but fun. Since we moved to the city, we've been meaning to take her to the vet. Finally, after reading Yelp reviews, we picked Huron Vet hospital and couldn't be happier. Dr. Beale is young, but spent a long time with my kitty and was very thorough in her exam. She was gentle and caring and let us ask TONS of questions about our cat's behavior. She also gave us many recommendations on how to deal with our cat when she got difficult. Overall, I felt she really cared about our animal and that's a hard thing to find with vets. The place is tiny and a bit harrowing for cats (dogs running by), but the wait was minimal so it wasn't so bad. Parking is also hard to come by in the area, so make sure to arrive early. Prices were fair and we feel like we've found a great vet to stick with. read more

We first came to Dr. Ulrich a few months ago after a terrible experience with Porter Square Veterinarians. I wish my personal doctor had the bedside manner Dr. Ulrich has. Unfortunately our fantastic dog Quinn was diagnosed with bone cancer in our first visit with him. Dr. Ulrich was incredibly understanding, and was great about letting us know the options that are out there. He went out of his way for us on more than one occasion over the last few months, with long phone calls and consultations. He recommended NEVOG for an oncologist, which was also a very positive experience in a very dark time for us. Callie, one Dr Ulrich's assistants, is also amazingly patient and understanding, and graciously helped with many nervous phone calls from two very concerned dog owners. Unfortunately, Quinn broke his leg last week (his bone was weakened by the cancer) and we made incredibly hard decision to put him down. Again, Dr Ulrich was just amazingly caring and informative, and he helped through that awful moment compassion. I can't recommend him and his staff highly enough. read more

This review is not for their care of living animals, but for their compassion for people. Our beloved cat died in September after a brief illness. We brought her remains here for an individual cremation service. The receptionist I spoke with on the phone and the one my husband met in person were exceptionally kind and sympathetic, even though they no doubt have to go through this situation often. We got our sweet Isabelle back a week later in a beautiful wooden box, complete with sympathy card, seeds, a poem....it was extremely touching and very meaningful for all of us, especially our 7-year-old daughter who loved her kitty so very much. I wish they were accepting new patients, as we are looking for a new vet for our other cat. Hopefully soon! read more

I have had wonderful visits to Huron Vet. I like the physicians and they are respectful toward me and toward my cat. They care about your animal it is clear. I am writing today with a word of caution. The pet sitting book on the front desk doesn't mean you will get outstanding service. I hired a Vet Tech who works at Huron Vet. Vanessa never showed up. My cat was left alone for 2.5 days. Fortunately, nothing irreversible happened. read more

Dr. Ulrich is my new favorite! We have seen him a few times over the past few months with our new Boston Terrier puppy, Daemon. Not only is Dr. Ulrich extremely thorough and informative he really loves our little pup. There is nothing sweeter than seeing a vet cradle and cuddle our dog while Daemon goes to town licking the Doctors face. Too cute! The routine visits for shots and check-ups were very fairly priced. We had to go another time because Daemon was having digestive problems and were we shocked at just how cheap this visit was! They prices beyond competitive for the incredible service. Dr. Ulrich also takes a lot of care and time during the visits and will answer any and all questions that come up. I'm so happy I found this place (thanks Yelp!) and I recommend it to all pet owners. read more

This place rocks, especially Dr. Ulrich! You can tell he really loves animals. I knew that the minute that he kissed my cat Matt. Matt is not a cat that you would kiss if you didn't really love animals, trust me. I was just there to get shots/checkups for the cats, so nothing major, but everyone was great and the prices seemed to be a lot more reasonable than some of the other vets I've been to in the area. Although he's probably used to dealing with difficult animals, Dr. Ulrich really seemed to take everything in stride when my other cat, Snowball, tried to kill him. He brushed it off and said, "Gee, you have a really aggressive cat." No, he's not aggressive, he just hates you. I don't hate you though. Dr. Ulrich is amazing. read more

Yelpers got it right, thanks guys & gals. I recently adopted an adult dog who had problems with her last vet- she had actually been put ton a mild tranquilizer for vet visits for anxiety. Well, I called and made an appt, I disclosed the history, but both I & the admin I spoke with agreed we'd try the vet visit without using any meds. Dr. Ulrich was great, I can't remember the last time I had a vet take the time to get to know a dog & owner so thoroughly. We came in a simple refill on her heartworm preventative. Dr. Ulrich spent a good 30-40 mins getting to know my dog and easing her anxiety about the whole situation. He was gentle, caring, and we never felt rushed. He was concerned with the dog's whole health; we talked diet, socialization and training. As someone who is reallly into dogs, I was impressed. read more

Dr. Ulrich is my vet. I say this with the same conviction that Caitlin is my hairstylist. There is no substitution. Giblet, my 18-month-old Shorkie and Svetlana, my 5-yr-old Moldovan mouser kitty, get fair and equally loving treatment from Dr. Ulrich. He's professional, patient, and thorough. The office is clean (as opposed to so many that smell like pee and make you wonder how sanitary the cage/clinic area is). The staff is competent and friendly. Really. Reasonable. Prices. We tried a couple other vets first - and weren't happy until we found Huron. Even now, we live in South Boston, surrounded by other options - we drive to Somerville becuase that's where Sveta and Giblet get the best care. Cannot recommend Huron Animal Clinic enough. read more

Since the names of various Huron vets have been dropped in reviews, I thought I'd chime in with an "FYI." As of this summer the clinic is again a 2-vet practice. Dr Leef is the "associate veterinarian" and Dr Ulrich is still at the helm. The only down side to this is, they've had to bring out the dreaded Waiting List again. Two successors to the Queen Mother - a now-former stray and one of her daughters - adopted me later in 2012. With them the Huron tradition is continuing. Dr Leef is a worthy relatively-new addition to the clinic indeed. She's had the dubious pleasure of seeing the daughter cat, who retains "feral" instincts and is high-strung. On one occasion this cat gained a reputation as a "bolter" for charging out of the exam room and giving herself a literal running tour of most of the building. Another time, she'd peed herself (and soaked the towel in the carrier) on the way over. Dr Leef was laughingly unfazed in both incidences. As alluded to at the end of my previous long-winded review, piss happens too. Whenever I've made an appointment it's always been asked whether it would be OK if the cat in question were seen by the vet who happened to be free (with name provided.) It's awesome to be able to say, "Of course!" no matter which one it is. The techs have always been excellent too - special "ups" to Polina, who's been with the practice "forever." read more

What was once a great practice has, sadly become just another "production-line" type of veterinary practice and not a good one at that. Now that Covid is here, it's even more of a production-line than ever before with a lack of communication from vets and in increase in snarky communication via staff. I never thought I'd see this practice descend into what it has become...next time, maybe take care with an elderly cat to determine if it is deaf or not....there is a start, eh. read more

Let me preface this review: I am a crazy cat lady. So cliche, the lesbian and her cat. Whatever. I love my Chloe in that neurotic way that women sometimes do, you know, like she's my own child. She gets organic cat food and catnip every day and she gets to lie on the kitchen table like she owns the house. Don't judge, I clean it all the time! So, back on topic, I needed to get a vet for her because, frankly, she's getting a little older and chubby and that makes me feel a little guilty. Plus she needed shots. I see the reviews on Yelp and bring her here. So much cheaper than the vet in Davis, and when I called for an appointment, the vet himself took my call. Points for that! She's pretty skittish, my Chloe, so when we arrived and I took her out she was a little spooked. Dr. Ulrich was so gentle with her and pet her and was generally just very calm and comforting. He gave her vaccines (and even made sure I didn't see the needle, I hate them) and answered all my overly-protective questions. They created a diet plan for her and had it worked out that very day even. The place is clean and the staff is all really nice. I will definitely be taking her here again. The only slight downside is that there isn't much parking on Beacon in that area and I had to park kinda sorta illegally in grocery store parking lot nearby. But hey, it's Somerville, what do you expect? I highly recommend it to all neurotic (or not) pet owners! read more

My wife, our three cats and I love this place and the staff. I saw another review that suggests Dr. Ulrich may be a cat whisperer, and I offer a little more evidence: Out cat Nick is a hellion. When this clinic was owned and operated by Dr. B we had trouble with Nick's visits. On one visit, despite being in a zipped bag that left only his head exposed, and being held by both me and Dr. B, Nick managed to bite the doctor. After that he had to take a sedative pill before each visit. Once Dr. Ulrich took over, Nick fell right in line. He loves Dr. Ulrich!!! If he can do that, he must have special powers. read more

I love Dr. Ulrich. Of course he is great with animals, I should hope any vet is, but he is good with PEOPLE too which in my opinion is just as important. He explains problems well and provides different options for treatment. The staff is great, and prices are also very fair. AND they just bought the store next door and it is stocked with goodies! I used to live within walking distance and now I take 2 buses to stay with this vet! read more

Just another positive review for Dr. Urlich and Huron Veterinary! Shortly before my appointment, I had commented that I was hoping to find a vet that actually seemed warm towards animals. Simple, right? One would think! Up until now, my experiences with veterinary medicine in Boston has been lackluster at best. Dr. Ulrich changed all that! By the end of the appointment, my dog was licking his face and Dr. Ulrich was on all fours playing a spirited game of keep-away! Mike, a member of his staff, spent another portion of the discussion hugging my attention-craving pup, much to his delight. These guys were great. They even took me in when I mistakenly showed up a week in advance of my actual appointment. Not only did they deal with my chaos but did so pleasantly. By the time I left, I wanted to go out and grab a beer with Dr. Ulrich. Cheers to a great doctor. If only my own doctor was this helpful. read more

After moving from out of state, I am so happy I found this vet (thanks to yelp). Dr. Ulrich is absolutely amazing and was so wonderfully caring and insightful with my 20-yr-old cat - Maggie. He put me at ease when I explained the difficulty I was having in managing the kidney failure....such a comforting presence.. I've recently had to make the decision to put her down as things just got too much for her...and I am so pleased with the staff and the Dr. during that painful visit....when i am ready for a new furry friend, i will take them to Huron, no question. read more

Callie hates going to the vet. I practically have to carry her in every time. The vet loves Callie though. The staff here is super friendly and always calms her down as much as possible. Protip: Vectra and Heartguard are cheaper through the vet than through 1-800-Pet-Meds or any similar service we have found. The office is pretty convenient (next to the Thirsty Scholar) and they have a small grooming/pet supply business too. read more

Just got back from a vet appointment and had a great experience with Dr. Ulrich and his staff. You know you are in a good place when the doctor is giving your cat kisses and telling her how pretty she is, and the tech are giving belly rubs to all the dogs in the waiting room. Our cat is a little (okay, maybe more than a little) overweight and Dr. Ulrich gave us guidance on proper feeding amounts without making us seem like bad pet owners. An annual exam plus distemper vaccine ran us $80. Be prepared that new clients may have a long wait, I called for a Saturday appointment (in high demand) and the next available one was 2 months. Also the only parking available is street parking. Still worth it. read more

I cannot say enough about Huron Vet and especially Dr. Ulrich. I took my pug to Dr. Ulrich for 5 years and now have a cat that Dr. Ulrich sees. He is simply amazing and so compassionate with the animals and always is thorough, never rushing. He takes time to explain treatments etc. to me and calls after hours to follow up! You can tell this vet is out to help animals and not in it for $$$$ like other vets I've been to. The receptionists are always friendly and helpful! I know they aren't accepting new clients right now, but I'm telling you it's worth wait if you can!!! ~ read more

Dr. U and his staff are fantastic. Everyone at this cute, comfortable, little office is helpful and knowledgeable... and kind enough to deal with crazy people like myself. I can't tell you how many frantic phone calls I have made to the office and each time I was met with patient responses... whether I am trying to find the time to get my cats in for various appointments, or require involved assistance with driving directions, or just have a crazy paranoid cat lady concern. One time my cat Tygra pooped, peed, and vomited in his cage on the way to the appointment. As you can imagine, when I arrived I was a bit haggard. The wonderful lady who is always at the desk (sorry, I forgot her name) didn't even get mad when my cat left urine paw prints all around her waiting room when he escaped his cage! Dr. U has a way with the animals! And he is down to earth and helpful... and oh so encouraging to my over weight cat when he dropped 4 lbs! My 2nd cat, Lulu, looks cute but is known to attack at a moments notice. Dr. U easily handles even her. I was recommend to the office and I jump at the chance to recommend them to others, even if the drive/parking situation is a bit of a hassle. Tip - I usually park at the ghetto supermarket across the street. They don't seem to tow. read more

Dr. Ulrich and the vet techs are amazing. They love our little French Bulldog and offer care and ample time to explain what is right or wrong with her. In a year's experience (about 6 visits and 8 calls) I have never found the receptionist to be anything but businesslike and friendly, on phone or in person - often asking some very pertinent questions in advance of having a tech call me back to advise a course of action. I hope this means that a problem employee who inspired complaint in other reviewers has moved on to annoy people elsewhere. If they are unable to accommodate your new pet, I hope you can find another place without injured feelings. Yelp readers should understand why there might be a lack of capacity at this place... they do very good work. read more

I just wanted to update this now that I've met Dr. Beale personally. She handled Lucy's yearly exam and shots earlier this year and she is great. For me, going to the vet is not the epic battle it is for some cat owners. My cats don't mind traveling and like pretty much anyone who pays them any attention. However, Lucy is the more "opinionated" of the two; she has no problem telling or showing you that she's not pleased. But Dr. Beale appealed to Lucy's vanity by telling her she was a very pretty girl and scratching her neck and cheeks. Lucy was sold and the exam was over before we knew it. She is great with animals and Dr. Beale is just as warm and patient with her human clients as Dr. Ulrich. I'm happy taking my cats to either of them and the staff is as friendly as ever. Huron is (still) awesome. read more

The puppy stars must have aligned because the month I got my mini labradoodle, Huron Vet had a few openings for new clients. The timing couldn't have been better and I couldn't be happier with how well my little Pumbaa the Wartdog is taken care of. Dr. Leef and Dr. Ulrich took the time to answer all my questions (and I mean all of them). The techs are all so friendly. Out of excitement/fright, Pumbaa peed on one of them and she didn't even bat an eye. You can genuinely tell everyone who works here absolutely loves dogs. The pricing is very reasonable. One thing to beware - make sure your dog does his #1 and #2 outside before coming into the office. They will charge a $3 professional fee for cleanup, which is understandable as I'm sure it incentivizes owners in making sure their pet takes care of their business beforehand. read more

Our Standard Schnauzer Harry goes to Dr. Leaf. We also saw Dr. Ulrich once. We have been to three vaccination visits and he has also been neutered. I guess it's a sign that he is in good hands when our six-month old pup runs in there and is totally happy to leave us. They all seem to really like interacting with the dogs and they really show impressive skills dealing with our little rascal. They have been taking very good care of him. They are easy to deal with and communicate well. They are available to give advice and help with decisions. Probably not the cheapest place around but you get what you pay for and this is quality through and through. read more

Huron Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Somerville, Massachusetts

My boys and I love Dr. Ulrich! We first went when they were just 4-month old kittens (thanks to the good reviews on Yelp!), and he made an instant impression. He was kind and sweet to the boys, and knowledgeable and personable toward me. He took time to ask about their behaviors and personalities and suggested items to avoid (such as lilies and rubber bands) to ensure their on-going good health. We also spent about 10 minutes talking about skiing (my boys are named after ski runs), and I found out that Dr. Ulrich went to UVM as an undergrad, spent some time in Crested Butte, CO, and then went to Ireland - if my memory serves me correct - for vet school. We recently went back for the boys' annual check-up and vaccinations. He was pleased with how lean and soft they've grown to be. He cuddled them and praised their sweetness and beauty before putting them on the scale and administering the vaccines. They were so comfortable with him, the more skittish of the two was rolling around on the floor looking for belly rubs. My other guy was attempting to play with the House Cat, Pepe, through the door. Dr. Ulrich once again took the time to answer my questions and gave me many helpful suggestions. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to Dr. Ulrich. In fact, my sister-in-law is going to make an appointment for her two cats cause she's not too psyched about her current vet in Arlington. The reviews don't lie - get yourself to Huron Animal Clinic! read more

Wow! Dr. Ulrich sounds great; I've never seen someone on Yelp with such uniformly positive reviews. Be forewarned, though: As of July 6 2009, they're already booking in August. It's a busy time of year, and he's the only vet there. So if you're thinking of bringing new pets in, plan ahead! I didn't plan, so I won't get to try him out just yet... but I can't save a review without stars, so I'll give five stars for the friendly receptionist. read more

With this many review and a 5-star rating, is there anything left to praise Dr. Ulrich about? It's hard to imagine, but during a very recent call to his office I was greeted by a receptionist/tech on the phone who was able to answer a question about an aging dog, give a non-vet option recommendation, and was completely patient with my follow-up questions. During a past emergency Dr. Ulrich would call me well after-hours to check up on progress after a surgery. This entire office is 5-stars. read more

We chose this vet based on the reviews we read on Yelp and we couldn't agree more that this is a FANTASTIC place to bring your pet. Like everybody has already mentioned, Dr. Ulrich is the nicest, most gentle, and informative vet that I have ever met. He took his time getting to know our 10-month-old border collie mix, Lucy (who can be a bit shy at first), and spent the majority of our visit on the floor with her, petting her and giving her a thorough physical examination (and delicious treats). Dr. Ulrich also spent time giving us advice and answering any questions that we had (he also gave us information about local agility trainers and tips on how to keep Lucy occupied). I was amazed at how "unrushed" the whole visit was (our appt was at 5.15pm and we didn't leave until a bit after 6pm). Along with Dr. Ulrich, the staff at Huron Animal Clinic is great. They are willing to answer questions over the phone and are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and polite. Again, just top-notch. The great thing is that Dr. Ulrich and the staff know that they have a 5-star rating on Yelp and they are proud of it. Given our experience thus far, they also seem intent on keeping that rating. This is a group that truly seems to love animals. My wife, Lucy, and I are very glad that we found this animal clinic and we can't recommend them enough. read more

Friends of mine had been singing the praises of Dr. Ulrich for some time. I was reluctant to take my cat back to a vet because of the experience I had with my last one. I knew my cat had some health issues prior to the appointment. Dr. Ulrich took the time to explain everything to me and came up with a plan for rehabilitating my cat that wasn't going to be costly and was in the best interest of my cat. Him and his staff were also great with my cat in general. Very lovable and reassuring. I am so thankful that he came highly recommended to me. I will continue to take my cats to see him on an as needed basis. read more

Thanks again, yelp! Without you, I wouldn't have found this fantastic vet. Dr. Ulrich and the staff here are all wonderful. They take their time listening to all of your questions and concerns, and really seem to love their animal patients. I am preparing to move abroad with my cat, and the staff at Huron has been super helpful in helping me prepare. They have taken the time to research the specific requirements for the country I am traveling to, which is above and beyond anything I would have expected. Any time I call with a question, they seem happy to take the time to look over my cat's records and provide me with the information I need. I am never made to feel like I am interrupting their day. Thanks Huron! read more

I really can't say enough nice things about this veterinary practice. Dr. Ulrich was stellar through our kitty's sudden illness and death this past May. He and his staff were so caring, patient, and empathetic--they really took their time making sure that we understood all of our options and medication instructions. I can't imagine ever taking my pet to anyone else. We recently adopted a new cat, and she's already been to meet Dr. Ulrich. He calmed down skittish Cococat pretty quickly and sat with us for quite a while, getting to know her and her quirks. I swear I see him more than my own GP. read more

I've been to the Clinic several times now with my cat, and have been blown away by the service every time. The pleasant experience starts when you step in the front door. The waiting room is clean, and well lit, and has no odor to it. The clerical staff is always friendly and willing to help. One lady even printed out directions to a place I had to run an errand to next when I didn't know the way. On top of all that, I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for the doctor to see me, which is just brilliant when you compare it to other vets, or even your own doctor. And then there's Dr. Ulrich himself. I've never seen an animal caregiver with such a touch for felines. My cat is skittish at best and he will often pause to pet and sooth the little one before continuing the exam. Dr. Ulrich has even gone above and beyond for my family. Our cat got a hold of some lengths of string and was moody and had no appetite. Becoming alarmed at his lethargy I called up the doc and asked if we could bring our cat it. Dr. Ulrich agreed to it at once, and said that he'd be there waiting when we came in (it was towards the end of the workday). The doctor saw to our cat and recced a vet hospital with better facilities to treat our cat (instead of treating our cat himself and keeping the profits). And then several days later, Dr. Ulrich personally called me to check up on how our cat was doing. It was very touching to see how much he worried for and cared for our pet. read more

We had a great experience at the Huron's. We have been waiting for an opening at Huron as they stopped taking new patients a while back so we waited for 3 months to get our cats in for their annual. Dr. Ulrich and the staff were so attentive and professional and they loved one of the cats so he got special petting (I have to say he is adorable ;) ). The annual cost about $125 per cat so it is pretty affordable compared to other vets who are pricy and don't spend half the time asking questions about the history of the cars and making the pets feel comfortable in the new surrounding. I would definitely keep coming here. This place is a God-send. read more
