I was traveling from Hawaii with my little Cavalier, Belle, for the summer. After noticing her cough hadn't subsided for a long time, I began to panic after asking another vet friend about her symptoms. I called and spoke with Tonya who was able to get us in immediately. Dr. Brooke McAfee diagnosed my little angel with Mitral Valve disease after some X-rays and listening to her murmur. Receiving this news was life altering- Belle has been my baby for almost 8 years. Dr. Brooke is amazing- she has the most wonderful and kind nature, inclusive of the empathy so many veterinarians lack these days. She guided me through all of the next steps, and I genuinely felt she cared even knowing we weren't a long term client/patient. I'm beyond grateful for everything Dr. Brooke, Tonya and their staff here did for us while we were in Indiana. Without question, 5 stars! read more

McAfee Animal Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Valparaiso, Indiana

This is a great clinic! The team here works very well together and cares about what they do. When we first moved to Valpo, our dog Abby collapsed at home and Dr Brooke quickly diagnosed her with an emergency splenic tumor that had ruptured and Dr Dani removed it the same day! I can't thank them enough for saving our black lab named Abby. read more

Very good about communicating what was happening with the health of the cat I had adopted from the shelter. Certainly more than the shelter told me. They are always polite. I haven't figured out why they put the owner in a room as they take the cat to the back. Cat was well taken care of when she had to stay there. read more

I would love to be able to support this business because Dr. Brooke is AMAZING!! Unfortunately, some of the staff ruins it for her...specifically Leslie. She talks down to other employees and talks negatively about clients. Lose toxic staff. read more

Been going to McAfees for 30 + years. They have all been outstanding to deal with and really have vets that know what they are doing and how to handle the animals. I just got another dog and plan on going to them for all their services. read more

Dr. Steve took on my Sheltie when she was having issues walking. He was extremely thorough, checking her from paws on up. X-rays were done as was bloodwork. The entire exam including the extras was reasonably priced. Unfortunately, not all their procedures are reasonable. I ended up going to another area vet for a teeth cleaning. It was half the price, but offered the same care before, during, and after. Even their sale price couldn't beat the competition. Other than that, I thought the care was top notch and I appreciate all Dr. Steve did for my dog. read more

Grooming portion is not very good. Very few places available during early COVID outbreak, so I tried McAfee. They kept my dog ALL DAY! I had to have her there by 8 am and it was 5 pm before she was ready. Totally unacceptable. The grooming job was ok, but my baby was acting a little "off" the next few days. I took her to my vet and he noticed she seemed to be hurting in her hindquarters. Had to put her on meds. I don't know what happened, but we will never use McAfee for grooming again. read more

Big thank you to Kathy & staff at McAfee's for getting our beloved dog in for treatment after a minor injury. We were out of town but friends were able to bring him right in & get him mended up. Always great compassion & care from McAfee's - we've been bringing our pets here for 17+ years & they've always been wonderful Thank you!! read more

THANK YOU!!! :) read more

I started bringing my dogs here about a year ago. I had moved and it was closer than my old vet. I looked at the reviews and decided to bring my dogs here. I am not saying you shouldn't bring your pet here, however, my experience was that this is an animal hospital for people with a lot of money to spend on their pets. Every time I would bring one of my dogs in I was told that something should be done; teeth cleaned, a wart removed, bloodwork done that wasn't necessary. I felt very uncomfortable and guilty that I could not afford these things. The final straw that made me decide to go back to my old vet in St. John's was when my 14 year old dog was suffering from pain that kept him up all night and I was told to give him an extra gabapentin. I was leaving the following Monday to see my mother who had recently had surgery and couldn't cancel the trip. I was told that they couldn't get him in for a week. Upset that I needed to leave and worried about my dog, I called my old vet and they had mentioned a pain medication he had been on before. I called McAfee back to ask if he could take this and was told they were not comfortable giving this medication to dogs; tramadol. I was told by Dr. Lindsay that I could have him hospitalized and given a fentanyl patch, crazy, because he does not need to be hospitalized. This was okay with them but they did not feel comfortable prescribing a pain med he had been on before and that helped him. I am tired of being made to feel guilty for not being able to spend money I don't have on things that are not necessary but when a true emergency happens I am told to just give him another gabapentin and that's all they can do. Fine place to go if you want to spend a lot of money but I'm going back to my old vet where I don't have to own a $3,000 dog to get any support. Also, no concern for the fact that my dog was in pain and that I was going out of town. Just really bad bedside manner and no understanding or compassion to either my dog or myself. read more

Would've rated 5 stars before my appointment today. I wouldn't go back if it wasn't an emergency. Will update review tomorrow after appointment. I sure am dreading it. read more

Dr. Brooke is the absolute best ever. She treats our Mugsy like her own and treats us like family. She is the most amazing person ever. Dr. Brook is great at caring for Mugsy's many health issues from diabetes, cushing's disease, cataracts and even cancer. Dr. Dani helped us out with a correct diagnosis when Dr. Brooke was unavailable so the continuity of care was perfect! I went to another vet in Valpo for other pets in the past, but would never return there after being cared for so well by McAfee Animal staff. Dr. Brooke was so compassionate when we had to put our Yorkie Mikey out of his misery. We trust McAfee Animal Hospital and have never been disappointed. We have gone to McAfees for over 20 years. We love McAfee Animal Hospital and Dr. Brooke! read more

I wish I could say how much I love this hospital because I was recommended here from a close friend. Except when I tried to call and ask a few questions, the woman was incredibly rude and kept trying to hang up as quick as possible with me. I'm sure the vets here are amazing based on what other people have said. Except I didn't get that far because of this rude woman in the phone. read more

Dr. Steve and the other vets work with many area rescues in order to save unwanted, abused, and neglected animals that might not otherwise have a chance. That alone speaks volumes! How many vets will do an emergency c-section on stray dog in order to save her remaining puppies she could not deliver? Dr. Steve did not and does not save animals for the money!! I met Dr Steve after he amputated leg on puppy from Chicago Animal Control that was close to euthanasia. This pup suffered enough! Dr Steve amputated his leg and gave me the medication to care for his other issues that stemmed from abuse and neglect. He took the time to teach me how to care for new tripod dog and made sure I was comfortable before I left. This vet cares, period. If you are going somewhere else ask whether rescue animals are welcome! Folks, this is a phenomenal place with character and integrity! read more

Been going here to the McAfee family for about 45 years. They've always done great with our pets. They offer grooming and boarding, so I'll usually make a day of it when my pets need something. read more

The hospital is very clean and fresh smelling. The front desk staff smile and greet you by name. The technical staff and Drs. are very knowledgeable and kind. Their technology and skills are very up to date. I wish my human Drs. office was as great!!!!! read more

Dr. Brooke and staff at McAfee are absolutely wonderful. We have been taking our little wiener dog, Frankie there for years. He hurt his back and under Dr. Brooke's care he is as fiesty (and walking) and happy as ever. She calls after every office visit, to check up on him, better than a human doctor. I recommend all my friends that have pets to McAfee. She is a caring, wonderful person. read more

Everyone at McAfee was compassionate and understanding while our dog Hooper was laid to rest. They gave us private time before and after to say our good byes. It was important to us that we all stay by his side until his last moments. Thank you read more

I called McAfee first thing in the morning after Memorial Day with concerns that the incision my dog had was infected. The lady asked if I could bring her in today and I told her that I could but I was already at work, 45 mins away. Since I was already at work I asked the lady if I could email a picture of the incision to see if they thought I should bring my dog in. I sent McAfee an email that included a picture of my dogs incision from recently getting fixed. 4 hours went by and I still hadn't heard back. So I called, they said the doctor hadn't reviewed it yet but that they would call me as soon as he did. I ended up taking my dog to Hobart animal clinic that night since my concern wasn't important enough for McAfee to get back to me. Well needless to say 6 days later I still haven't heard back from them!!!! No email or phone call. read more

I like dr mcafee but it is not like you go in on time and are seen then.there is always a huge wait. I usually get there with my animal after work say 430-5 whatever i can and i dont leave there until 7 just for a regular check up it is ridiculous. i stopped going there because of it, and i loved the vet there. read more

We love Dr. Brooke! Wonderful, compassionate doctors and staff members. I never feel rushed; all of my questions and concerns are addressed. Well worth the drive from Lincoln Park in Chicago. read more

This place is amazing! Dr. Brooke and Dr. Steve are outstanding. McAfee was recommended to me and well worth the drive from Logan Square in Chicago. I feel so very lucky to be able to bring my pack there! read more

Very appreciative of the recent care we rec'd for our dog, Abby. Dr Andrea and the staff are all very caring and pleasant. A huge shout out for the level of care, their communication, and efforts to accommodate us during a recent episode with our pet. Abby became very ill and we needed to leave town to visit my father who had just suffered a stroke. They were able to accommodate Abby in their medical boarding, giving her the level of care she needed, along with huge peace of mind for my husband and me. We will always be grateful for the compassion shown to both our dog and to us. We love every aspect of the care provided at McAfee Animal Hospital and highly recommend them for care for your pets. read more

McAfee vets are the best - very caring and thorough. They care for your pet as if they were their own. I have been taking my own cats to Dr Brooke for years and she also makes visits to the Independent Cat Society where I volunteer. read more

Awesome pet hospital. I just started going here in August with my puppy and I have had not 1 problem. The staff is very friendly and they get you in soon. I've hardly had to wait like some of the reviews I've read. As someone who works in the medical field I understand that there may come a time that you're not rushed in and out like you may like to be so for those of you who feel your time is so precious....you expect too much. Wish I would have discovered this place for my cat when I first moved out here. My puppy had elective surgery with no problems. It's pricing is comparable to other places in the area. Unfortunately I'm moving soon. I just hope I feel as comfortable with a new vet as I am with this place. read more

I was having problem getting my cat diagnosed at a vet in Valpo and spending a small fortune taking him in every week with little hope of getting him well. I found out about McAfee Hospital and was amazed that my cat was diagnosed on the first visit. They told me me how to take care of his elderly issues and its been six months and he is in great shape. Dr. Andrea is wonderful! We also have two dogs and 1 other cat, they all see different vets and they are also gentle, caring and knowledgeable. I am very pleased that I found McAfee and they are not over priced! read more

This place should not be calling themselves an "animal hospital". They cannot even do simple lab work, they send it to a lab and you are lucky if it is back in 2 hours. In an emergency this does nothing to help your animal. Even my rinky-dink local vet can have a panel of bloodwork done in 15min. Their ultrasound machine is garbage and does not show anything. The "vet" claimed they used the US but I was not given any proof of this, no picture or "hey come back and be with your animal" etc. My little greyhound was mismanaged from the start and both women that examined him were very uncaring about REALLY helping find what was wrong. He died no thanks to McFee. They only wasted precious time that I could have used to seek professional veterinary care for him. All around overpriced and worthless! Never again will I entrust an animal to them. These 2 women vets never even tried to ask a senior vet or consult on how to help as he lay there obviously shutting down after their ignorant treatment. I could go on but this is already lengthy. read more
