    Mitch, my Goldendoodle
    Mallory W.

    Improvement needed for: urgency, communication, knowledge, compassion. I'm unsure how this place is still open Thursday (1-29-26) my 2 year old Goldendoodle was found eating my late Goldendoodles asprin bottle and the contents at 12:30 PM. I called his vet and they told me to rush him to the closest Emergency vet. Medvet Dayton. Let's go time is CRITICAL right? It was for my dog and family just not to Medvet Dayton. my mother, my dog Mitch and I waited over 2 hours while the staff watched my dog suffering puking 8 times in the waiting area. Me and my mom kept waiting and waiting PRAYING FOR MITCH TO BE CALLED BACK. I had filled out a poison control sheet, spoke to a toxicologist at 2:50 Pm. Why wasn't this done at arrival? Mitch needs to see someone it's 3:00 PM and we arrived at 1:20PM! I had to cry and beg just for a private room so he wasn't so anxious while continuing to throw up. We got one! Finally he's going to be seen! Nope. 2 different assistants popped in asked unrelated questions. One gave false information and to the Dr. around 4:01 PM Megan comes in to tell us that Mitch had a large amount of toxins and would most likely not make it but the toxicologists options were 1) hospitalization 2) outpatient ..we were devastated after hearing the news she had and strapped financially I told her to give us a minute to figured this out. Before she left the room she recommended euthanizing Mitch to save on funds. Leaving us heartbroken being told there's zero hope is heartbreaking! After all this waiting you just want to kill my dog? A few minutes turned into an hour. we came up with the money 10 minutes later after I asked for a few minutes.. we waited for someone. Anyone to come back!! I had to go to the front desk hysterical asking for help AGAIN! The assistant comes in we tell her we decided on outpatient we have the funds. Will be paying by credit card over the phone. We were going to leave soon this what my mother described as a bad nightmare was almost over! It wasn't... the assistant never told the doctor our decision wasting more precious time for my Mitch. My dad was going to pay with CC over the phone. He kept calling asking why it's taking so long and told me to go up front and ask if we can just pay. Of course they had the invoice. They want money. At 6:21 PM my father gave his CC info to Audrey over the phone. I knew we were in a bad situation after about an hour of being there so I started to document and time stamp EVERYTHING! Absolutely everything. Every conversation, every time he puked. I mean EVERYTHING! While she had my phone getting the CC info a girl walks out to the waiting room with Mitch? But we weren't in the waiting room.. it just so happen was up front trying to leave. I quickly grabbed him. I was frantically texting close friends asking for prayers thinking my dog would die last night. and one friend it took him a few hours to respond but his response made my heart drop to the floor "go anywhere but Medvet Dayton" describing his 2 horrific situations. It was too late. We were already there. They already had Mitch. We were stuck in what felt like living hell. There was zero compassion let alone did anyone great my happy social boy or acknowledge his existence. We got the charcoal and medication. Why didn't they give them charcoal? Isn't that VITAL? I didn't trust anyone there anyways but it just showed me how much they did not care. At home Mitch finally got 162 ML of charcoal down by me and my mother at 9:06 PM. 8.5 hours after toxicity. Mitch may not make it. I know that. It's not their fault he got into asprin. However it is their fault with their lack of urgency, misinformation, compassion or even a ounce of hope for my Mitch! Because of this his chance at survival is even lower. Please never ever take your pets here. This was one of the most horrific experiences of my life. MedVet at the very least owes us a huge apology and a refund. That won't ever happen. I'll make sure everyone I know will know about this horrific place and how we were treated. I'll advocate for Mitch even if he passes and all the other animals until I die. This is cruelty to say the very least.. they failed Mitch. They will keep failing other babies too.

    I had a tragic incident happen causing me to rush in at 6am needing a cremation. A lady with red lipstick was very sweet. I thank her. And the people they go through for cremation services did amazing. They delivered it to me and the box and print was fantastic. I don't leave these but I didn't know how else to tell them Thank you!

    Goody recovering from stomach surgery!

    This place saved my baby goody's life. The only negative thing is they take FOREVER. I am sure there is good reason for that so I will let that go. They were all so sweet and answered any questions I had and did not get rude when I called multiple times to check on my baby. Thank you for making sure I got to bring my baby home.

    I lost my son Milo Lee on 12/01/2024. Dayton MedVet was the most supportive, caring, and overall wonderful people I could have asked to be there. They were fast, efficient, and made sure to communicate to me each step of the way. They tried everything they could to save my son. We were hopeful that Milo would pull through this urinary issue, just as the staff was. To hear the disappointment when they called us and to see the sadness when we got there truly showed me they cared about my babies life. I will forever be thankful for the staff for helping me through the worst moments of my life, I will forever be thankful for their wisdom and their honesty with his condition. Thank you for caring for my boy and I in his last moments.

    Our little Winnie will always be with us everywhere we go.
    Desiderio P.

    We had taken our beloved little Winnie (14 yo Imperial Shih Tzu) many years ago to these guys for a tummy ache and they took good care of her. All very straightforward. Fortunately, she had been very healthy, and so we never needed them again --out of sight/out of mind. This past Sunday morning (5 days ago now --which seems a lifetime ago), Winnie woke up with a scared look in her eyes but no real complaints and shook it off. She slowly became weaker and weaker throughout the day and I rushed her to MedVet. In just under 9 hrs, Winnie went from OK to being put to sleep in our arms. All of the staff took us seriously from the moment we arrived, checked us in very professionally, expeditiously, and compassionately --patiently prodding me with the right questions and redirecting my nervous/anxious rambling. They were full of patients in the back and lots of people in the waiting room (more than 10). Routine 'urgent'/non-scheduled visit wait time was said to be about 7-9 hrs. All within 20 mins, they checked us in, triaged her, got her vitals, established that it was serious, and rushed her to see the vet --for a faithful physical exam, blood tests, ultrasound, and diagnosis: Blood in her abdomen from a hemorrhaging tumor on her spleen. With no satisfying prognosis for time or discomfort no matter what we decided, the vet gave me as detailed an explanation as I wanted (I am a physician); with my heartbreaking, my wife, my daughter, and I alternated holding/cuddling her. We put our precious Winnie to sleep while looking into her eyes and cuddling her --and the vet and staff took their time with us and helped us make all the needed decisions and arrangements. I cannot rave enough about them, to begin with, but... yesterday (Thursday) we received a small envelope from MedVet, and to my wonderful surprise, they had clipped some locks of her hair and placed them in the hair bows she had on when I took her in; they took off her scarf she had and sent all of these back to us (things that after-the-fact we all regretted leaving on her, but we had been so in-shock of it all, that we didn't think of it at the moment -- and regretted badly ever since). What a gentle and kind touch! What attention to detail! I cannot express what that has meant to us - and how impressed I am with their compassion and professionalism for pets and their owners. Bravo! If only we could mimic such care, professionalism, compassion, and expediency in the provision of quality care to our human patients. I say Bravo again to you all! I'm sorry I can only rate you 5 stars. --And thank you from our whole family: wife and me, 6 kids, and 8 grandkids; you have touched us all forever, with such a simple gesture (that some might not give a second thought to). To all of us, she was the oldest grandchild, a first child, a first niece, and an older sister. Desiderio, Angie, Bethany, and the rest of Winnie's grateful family.

Our black lab (Ollie), took some kitchen scissors out of the sink and chewed the handles while we were sleeping. We found the chewed scissors with no pieces of the handle to be found. We assumed he ingested them and decided to be safe and take him to an emergency vet. First, we took him to a closer, well known emergency vet in Hilliard. After an hour wait, we discovered they were not equipped to help. Seems like any emergency vet should be able to handle an accidental ingestion, but they couldn't and what they could do was at least another 90 minute wait. I should add that I understand that Ollie was not in immediate danger (yet) and his appearance and behavior were good enough to tolerate a long wait - but I just didn't like how unprepared they seemed for what I think should be a relatively routine incident. We left and intended to go to their larger location, but it was such a poor experience I wanted to find an alternative. We found the Dublin VEG and it was relatively close. I called ahead and talked to a pleasant staff member who gave me an idea of the types of things we would likely need and she indicated they could handle this sort of issue. We arrived received immediate attention. They quickly x-rayed the scissors to see if the handle material would show up clearly enough to make it effective and when it confirmed, they quickly got Ollie in and x-rayed. They were able to rule out any large pieces and it felt safe to proceed with induced vomiting. Several minutes later, the bits and pieces of the handles were out of Ollie, giving us a sigh of relief. I wish I could remember names, but the staff were all amazing. The care plan options were immediate - even in a somewhat tricky scenario given the material. The caring and demeanor of all of the staff put us at ease right away and we knew we made the right decision to come here. The open layout was immediately comforting to both us and our dog. I had noticed the comment on the website that said that this would be a different sort of experience, but I didn't really think about it. After experiencing this place, I don't think I could go back to the old way of being separated while your pet is taken into some back room. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I hope we don't need an emergency vet again, but if we do, we won't go anywhere else.

They took his vitals, were incredibly gentle and so so kind. He had a high fever of unknown causes. They treated him immediately with fluids and medication and within hours he showed signs of improvement. The staff here was incredible. People that truly love animals and have patience for days.

Then we found out their magic trick is to have me put a muzzle on my dog, which of course my dog said no. Then my dog had no exam and went home stressed. And they still charged me 200 dollars for that, just shameful business, everyone be aware!

Of course my regular vet was closed (love them as well) cuz it was 730 in the evening, and this is one of the emergency vet services their answering machine recommends. I called ahead and told them what was going on with George and they recommended I bring him in. When we got there, they took him back within a couple of minutes. About 20 mins later, they brought him back out and let me know his vitals were "nice and stable" and that I could monitor him overnight, then take him to his regular vet today. When I asked if I should check out, they informed me there would be no charge since all they had done was triage him and check vitals. Since I was already tallying up the hundreds of dollars that would be due between his emergency vet visit and his regular vet visit, you can imagine my incredible relief at that news. Thanks to them, I was reassured that George would make it through the night until I could get him to the vet today. Definitely a positive experience and if I ever need an emergency vet in the future, I will absolutely go back to MedVet.

We understand that there are capacity limits and what not, but we assumed for an emergency such as sudden paralyzation for a dachshund, that we would be either pushed through, or at least told to go to a different med vet. We were never spoken to by a doctor, only a younger girl who came out to take his vitals and then sent us away saying they were at capacity. If we would have been instructed by someone to go straight to medvet Columbus, Frank would have had a 90% chance of walking again because he had deep pain sensation at that point. We would have driven there immediately had we known. By the time we got there the next day, after VEG made the suggestion to take him to Columbus, he had lost his deep pain and was given a 50% chance for walking. Clearly this entire experience was distressing for all of us, and I'm just wanting an explanation as to why this happened, and if it will happen in the future if we have another emergency. Everyone says to go to Medvet for emergent issues, and we did exactly that and were sent away. Again, we understand capacity but someone should have told us to go to another location NOW. If VEG wouldn't have suggested it I don't know what would have happened. I am worried now that in the future if we have another emergency with either one of our dachshunds, we won't be able to rely on Cincinnati to take us in. When we explained what happened to Columbus Medvet- they were concerned and didn't understand why we were turned away. As a secondary note, I reported that Frank had a bit of a sore on his foot- likely due to yeast, as he gets those frequently, and wanted to get it checked out. Medvet Columbus contacted Cincinnati and the neurosurgeon/ team was pushing for us to euthanize him. Columbus said it was inappropriate to suggest and sent us to our normal vet, who confirmed it was a yeast infection and has since gone away. I had Franks follow up scheduled with Cincy and ended up canceling it and going to see his Columbus team because I was so upset at that interaction. Cincinnati had not even seen Frank and was suggesting euthanasia right off the bat. The amount of trauma over this entire situation has been unbelievable. I appreciate the gift of rehab sessions, however it does not change the experience that we had, and how it will forever change Frank's life and ours. I knew as a dachshund owner that IVDD was possible, I just never thought that the place that I always had in the back of my head to take to him to if it did happen, would give us the experience that we had.

She took her in to see Dr. Callejo in the Springboro Office. I had taken my dog there in the past. She wanted $720 to do 5 ex-rays and NO blood work. After agreeing to blood work, she said what she was doing would not show signs of cancer at rate of $420. She said her annual office visit is $420 with blood work. The tech suggested on doing 2 ex-rays so it would be less expensive. Dr. Callejo refused saying she wanted 5 ex-rays. It then became quite obvious that Dr. Callejo was strictly out for money. When I was going there, the vet cared about the animal and was much more compassionate and willing to work with you. When your pet is sick you want someone that cares about the animal not just the money. She could have done 1 or 2 ex-rays not 5 and then determined what else was needed. I will never recommend them again. What a sad experience.
