You are always treated like family there, from the front desk, to the technician visits, and even the veterinarian herself. They go out of their way to slow down and provide quality care and talk everything through with you. I never feel pressured to buy anything or add any services there and any recommended services are explained in full. Not only is the pricing there competitive with other clinics in the area, the girls are always trying to help save me money too! Did you know they have an online pharmacy that saves me about $20 a month on my pet's medication AND it gets delivered just like Amazon? They even helped me set it up. Will continue coming here for the length of my dogs life. Thank you guys!

We have been taking our pets to For Paws since 2022. We have always trusted our babies with their…read morestaff and only ever had positive things to say. That changed on May 2, 2025. Our 9 yr. old golden retriever had been vomiting and had diarrhea for 12 hours. I called and they got her in at 10am. Dr. Jellison examined her and explained that she was "very sick and dehydrated". She would need blood work and x-rays to determine what was going on, and IV fluids all day. She went over the cost with us and it was almost $1200.00. We didn't hesitate because we trusted her with our girl. So at 3:00pm when we hadn't heard anything, I called and was told, that the dog would be ready to go home at 5:pm. At 4:50, as we were pulling into the parking lot, we had to stop and let Dr. Jellison out because the parking lot is so small. We walked in and the tech was there with an invoice for all of the services, some drugs, and some going home instructions. She could not answer any of our questions but made sure we knew that our dog "still has the "hershey squirts". But the most concerning thing was that there were no results for the blood work and x-rays. Neither had come back. The bill that included those services was ready though, totaling $435.00 and they charged us for medicine that we never got. For Paws actually sent her home as sick as she was when she came in that morning and said that if she continues to vomit and have "the hershey squirts" to take her to the ER. Where was the vet? Why had she left early on a Friday rather than staying with her patient, and answering our questions? She was the one who admitted our dog and made clear how sick she was. That day we paid $1065.00 and got back zero results and a very sick dog. At 4:30 in the morning, after numerous bouts with vomiting and diarrhea throughout the night, we took our dog to the ER. They ran the exact same tests that For Paws had run that day, but because we didn't have those results back, we had to run them again. My dog spent 2 days in the ER. We are frustrated and furious. Dr. Jellison absolutely knew those test results would not be back before the end of the day, and not until Monday, because it was Friday. She hospitalized our dog rather than sending her directly to the ER. It does not end here. Monday morning, For Paws called to check on the dog, and we told them she had spent the whole weekend in the ER. That the For Paws invoice included charges for medicine that we never received, and that we were really unhappy with how things went. The only thing they said was they would credit our account for the overcharge. At that time we were given the name of Ashley Williams, their office manager and transferred to her voice mail. We left a detailed message. We fully expected to hear from Dr. Jellison ,or Ashley to run through what they had done at the ER and discuss what would be the next step in our dogs care. We NEVER got a call from Dr. Jellison, or anyone else regarding the way things happened, and we gave them plenty of time. On May 20th, 18 days after this all happened and we STILL HAD NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE AT FOR PAWS, nor had we received any x-ray or blood work results, we went into the office and closed our account.

Terrible. Do not take you pets there. You'll be waiting more than half the time you're there…read more Overpriced even though they say they try to work with you. They recommend the most expensive treatment there is right off the bat. The doctors are with you for five minutes before they try to get you and themselves out of there. It seems like they have no idea what any of them are doing. If you want any treatment don't go there, they will slap some medication in your hand and tell you to schedule a recheck if your pet doesn't get better. The actual physical treatment is way too expensive. They don't even let you be with them or your pet when they check the injury out. They take the pets in the back and "examine" them for at most 5 minutes before coming back. If you don't have a personal relationship with them, they don't treat you as well. I should have listened to the reviews. 4 weeks and $400 later my cat was worse than ever, I had to take him to another vet.

The doctor misdiagnosed the injury to my pet as a knee injury, months passed and she got worse so I took her to a orthopedic vet who took x-rays and found nothing wrong with her knee but did find a tumor on her hid that caused her ler to lose function. So as a warning, when your Pet is diagnosed by these people make them show that their diagnosis as verified by test result.

I am taking away one star because, in a panic, I asked Siri for directions and it pulled up the address of the old clinic on Fulton. Not knowing that they had moved since I (luckily) have never had to go before, we drove out of our way to the wrong clinic. Suggestion: Close this listing on ALL online registries. When we finally arrived to the correct clinic, the receptionist asked if we wanted them to administer CPR.....OF COURSE WE DID - why do you think we were there? The vet tech let us know that he did not survive the trauma. She offered a copy of his paw print inked onto a poem. They wrapped him in an insulated blanket that would ensure his fluids did not leak, and then in an additional sheet. She was very kind and very personable. She's the reason I am giving four stars today. Hopefully I never have to return, but in an emergency situation I am glad they are close by.

Late Sunday night about 9:30, I noticed my Morkie appearing uncomfortable. Not his usual, playful…read moreself. I immediately became concerned. Several EMERGENCY vets near me were closing within a few minutes leaving my only option being Stark County Veterinary EMERGENCY in Canton. I called ahead told the lady on the phone my dog's symptoms. She responded with a diagnosis of some sort of leg complication or disease. Ha? Made no sense to me. She asked me if he was UTD on his shots. I said yes and all of my pups were scheduled for their yearly check-up this Tuesday, June 23, 2026. She immediately stated, 'Ok, when you bring him in, it's $120 for the office visit and the Dr. will want to do x-rays and those 'start' at $650 and they'll want to do several.' Ok. I appreciate the honesty and heads-up but how do 'you' know what's going to be required??? I didn't say anything. She spoke again 'We expect payment in full upon the first visit. Cash or credit. We don't accept any payment plans.' I get that. I responded I'll be bringing him in. She said 'ok'. I drove the 50 min to the clinic. I pulled into a parking spot yet curious as to why the spots were numbered. Understand that UNLESS you back your vehicle into a spot you will not see signage on the building. I approach the door. It's locked. Understandable. The sign says to ring the bell. I did. The receptionist answered and said can I help you? I said yes, I just called about my Morkie and he needs medical attention. She says 'Did you call the number on the sign upon your arrival?' I said what number? She told me to back up into the parking lot and to call the number on the building and she would talk to me from my phone and not the intercom....??? So, holding my dog, I did as she asked and no answer. I went back to the intercom and told her there was no answer. She said I had to have dialed an incorrect number. I pushed my phone up against the glass and the number was correct showing it had been ringing for 1 min and 29 sec. She said 'ma'am, you need to get back into your vehicle and call me from there. I did as she said but very shaken as I was worried about my dog and their concern was ONLY I needed to retreat back to my vehicle. So, I did. I called the number again. This person then asked me about my dogs vaccinations. Has he had 2 or 3? Has he been tested for PARVO? I reiterated AGAIN, he is UTD on all his vaccines and provided her with Richardson's Animal Hospital info. This initial back and forth went on for about 15 min. She said since I couldn't provide proof of his shots and PARVO test results, they would send a tech out to my vehicle and perform the bloodwork and after the results if negative, I could bring him in. I'm leaving out a lot of the nonsense back and forth. I think she was rude. It was at the point where I said that I have driven nearly an hour for them to see my distressed pup and greeted with a borage of all these tests and procedures, that may prove unnecessary, BEFORE I walk thru their door, and her response as she scoffed. 'Ma'am, this is protocol and we have people drive for hours to get here and we have declined them service.' After I agreed to the pre-admission testing, I sat there for a few minutes, started my car and left. It was after having a very lengthy time, waiting in my car, I looked at Stark County Veterinary Emergency Google and BBB reviews, I was confident in my decision based on 2 star rating and multiple similar instances. I decided my best bet was to reach out to Dr. Tim (Richardso's Animal Hospital) first thing in the morning. Update: Morkie is back to normal and I sincerely believe that his grooming day prior and anal gland expression was the issue. He was experiencing some discomfort (normal) and was perfectly fine by the time we got home and back to his normal ornery self this morning. I should have calculated the 2 star review rating against the 54 reviews submitted and driven him further to a more reputable clinic. In the end, all is good.
