    INCREDIBLY kind and thorough staff! They immediately understood what to look for with our miniature dachshund, and, instead of doing what most vet offices would do, they didn't say they needed to run lots of tests in order to profit more. The only thing that is a negative is that if you give them your cell phone number, you will get automatic notices pretty much non-stop. So just tell them kindly several times to not text messages. HIGHLY recommend them!

    I just got my girl Jazmine back home today. I can't praise everyone enough that I met in person and spoke with on the phone! Every single person was caring, professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. I received phone calls, texts, and even pictures while Jazmine was in their care. If I could give more than 5 stars there would without a doubt be a million more!

It happened on a Saturday at 7:30AM. I had to transpport my dog unconscious to VCA in Madison Wi 30 minutes away as it was the only emergency vet open. Upon arrival I was walked into an examination room and the staff took my dog and told me to wait in the examination room. They returned and told me my dog had a large tumor near or on his spleen and the tumor had ruptured causing a large blood loss. The blood was inside is body cavity causing him to go into shock . She said I had two options a $10,000 surgery to remove a tumor on the area around his spleen. I was told the tumor was likely cancer but stated there was 30% chance it was just a tumor and not cancerous. I asked the vet several times for advice. I was told each time she would not answer that question. The vet again said if I choose surgery a the dog dies at any point of the process it was $10,000 No exceptions ! I said I would gladly pay the money but i was have difficulty processing everything based on the sudden onset of symptoms to my healthy happy dog and asked what she would do if it was her pet. She said I won't say. She said if the procedure is completed and it's cancerous my dog would live for only two months. I asked if I chose surgery what is the procedure. She said "normally " we would do a scan of my dog before a procedure was performed. She said we don't have the equipment we need until Monday. I asked if there was a scan anywhere I could take him she said no. She said they can do the surgery without the equipment and "just look and feel" . She then said if I chose surgery I would have to transport my dog to Middleton Wisconsin because she was not a surgeon. I felt very alone and had zero support or empathy from the vet. She appeared very detached. I told her my decision was to euthanize my dog as I did not want him to suffer from surgery only to die of cancer two months later. At least part of that decision was based on the fact they did not have all the equipment they would usually use before a surgery of this nature. The other factor was the lack of any support or advice from the vet and my dread of making my dog suffer. The vet said she would leave me alone to say good bye. I was laying on the office floor with my dog this entire time. I was given a blanket for me my dog was still on the cold hard floor. The vet left us and almost immediately the door opened and a staff member handed me a A clipboard and was told I needed to fill it out and give her a credit card. I said right now ? She said they won't do anything without a credit card. I had to do the paperwork and get my credit card out laying next to my very ill dog waiting to be euthanized dog was the love of my life best friend.

    A couple of days after our 17-month-old Siberian Husky began exhibiting signs of an eye infection,…read moreshe began vomiting, refusing to eat, and displaying clear signs of lethargy. Despite local emergency hospitals being fully booked and unable to admit her for several hours on Labor Day 2026, UW Veterinary Care admitted and treated our puppy upon arrival. The front desk staff, Samantha, the veterinary student, Kinga, the DVM, and everyone else we worked with courteously and efficiently answered our questions while providing Mirana with excellent care and treatment. The facilities are incredible and truly reflective of UW-Madison's reputation. I would highly recommend UW Veterinary Care to anyone seeking high-quality, efficient, and cost-effective veterinary care.

    I am extremely disappointed with our experience with UW Veterinary Care Emergency. Our cat was…read morehospitalized for a urinary obstruction, and I spent thousands of dollars on his care. At discharge, we were specifically told that imaging showed multiple bladder stones, including a larger stone around 0.5 cm, and that these stones put him at risk of another obstruction. Surgery (cystotomy) was discussed/recommended, so I scheduled surgery with our regular veterinarian. Six days later, my veterinarian took TWO sets of X-rays before surgery and found no stones in his bladder or kidneys. Thankfully, they did not proceed with an unnecessary surgery. I contacted UW because I wanted a meaningful explanation for how there could be such a significant discrepancy in imaging only six days apart. I was also concerned because there were multiple cats being treated for similar urinary issues while mine was hospitalized, and I wanted reassurance that the imaging attributed to my cat was unquestionably his. Instead of receiving a satisfactory explanation or any meaningful review of what happened, I was essentially told that "that's medicine." I understand that medicine is not an exact science and that outcomes and findings can change. What I do not accept is dismissing a legitimate concern involving thousands of dollars, a diagnosis of multiple stones, and a recommendation that could have resulted in my cat undergoing surgery. I expected UW Veterinary Care, as a major veterinary teaching hospital, to take this discrepancy seriously, review the imaging and records carefully, and provide a clear medical explanation. I am grateful my regular veterinarian repeated the imaging before operating. This experience has left me with serious concerns about the communication and accountability surrounding my cat's care.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care my cat, Korbel, received today at the…read moreBrookfield location. What started as an incredibly frightening and stressful emergency turned into an experience where I truly felt that Korbel was in the best hands possible. Dr. Muhs went above and beyond for both Korbel and me. She was incredibly compassionate, patient, and thorough. She took the time to explain everything to me in a way I could understand and made sure I didn't leave with unanswered questions. As someone who was extremely scared and emotional, the reassurance and kindness she showed me meant more than I can put into words. The entire staff was wonderful. Everyone treated Korbel with such care and compassion, and I could genuinely tell that they cared about him and about what we were going through. They also treated me with kindness and understanding during an incredibly difficult moment. I am honestly in tears writing this because I am just so grateful that I chose this clinic for Korbel's emergency care. When you are sitting in an emergency room terrified for your pet, having a team that makes you feel heard, informed, and cared for means everything. Dr. Muhs and the entire team deserve so much appreciation for what they do. Please know how much your kindness and dedication meant to us today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such wonderful care of my boy, Korbel.

    I'm writing this review after taking time to reflect on all of my experiences at this facility, not…read morejust one particular visit. First, I find it very misleading to advertise yourselves as a 24-hour emergency facility when your hours are only 9 AM-9 PM. When you have a pet emergency outside of those hours, you are not actually available. Unfortunately, my experiences with the doctors have also been extremely disappointing. I have repeatedly questioned the level of knowledge, judgment, and capabilities when it comes to determining what can and should be done for my pets. During my most recent visit, I was given no recommendations and was essentially told that everything would be fine. The following morning, my pet ended up being hospitalized at my regular veterinarian for three days. That experience has made me seriously question the assessment and reassurance I was given at your facility. The front desk experience has also been unprofessional. The atmosphere often feels more like a kiddy rave than a professional medical facility, which is completely inappropriate when people are walking in worried, scared, and dealing with an emergency involving a beloved pet. I'm only writing this because I have now had enough experiences to step back and look at the bigger picture. It is a shame because you are the only emergency veterinary facility in town, but being the only option does not excuse poor communication, unprofessionalism, or inadequate care. Going forward, I will be traveling a longer distance to an emergency veterinarian where I feel that my pets' needs--and the concerns of the people who love them--are truly being prioritized. I genuinely hope this facility takes this feedback seriously. People come to an emergency vet because they are trusting you with a member of their family. That trust needs to be earned through competent care, thorough recommendations, professionalism, and compassion--not simply the appearance of being caring.
