From…read morethe wonderful Julie (and others) who answer the phone and booked my appointments, the highly educated and skilled Veterinary Technicians to the Veterinarians themselves, you will never find a more compassionate, kind, supportive and caring staff. I brought my best friend Yeti in, my beloved German Shepherd, to be checked because of a few concerns that came up quickly, never in a million years expecting to find out he had cancer throughout his body and a very short time to live. Needless to say, I was devastated. From that first appointment to 4 days later when I had to say goodbye to him, the loving support and comfort the entire staff showed both me and Yeti truly made a difference to us and it's something I will NEVER forget. I am switching my other animals to Spooner Veterinary Hospital as well. I wouldn't even think about bringing them anywhere else, now. If you love your animals as deeply as I do, you will want to bring them here for care. They are absolutely WONDERFUL!

We called the vet nearest us in Danbury and they would not work us in to their schedule. We called Spooner and they told us to come and they would work us in. When we arrived we were greeted with friendly smiles. They put us in a room where our Golden could be examined by the vet and his assistant. They determined that they needed to take the whole nail put and said it would take about 45 minutes. It took exactly that. Everything went well and our Golden's urgent situation was resolved. We really appreciate the prompt and professional attention we received. We aren't a regular patient because we live in Illinois, but they reacted to our need for help and we are so grateful!!!

Ok This is going to be a long review because there is a long story behind it to understand it. Our…read morebuddy Russell a French Bechaun who is my dads adopted dog son. Which makes him my little adopted brother dog. Our nickname is the Pack especially when Russell and I go to see my dad who has been in the hospital a lot as of late with a rare pneumonia. In July Russell injured his eye and you can read that message. Here is a continuation of that. Our money situation has only gotten worse due to my dads illness which was not being treated properly until recently when the right doctors started to take the case. Because of that. I have had to have paramedics take my dad to the ER via ambulance three times in 2 months at 1,000 a trip. 5 miles is 1,000 dollars from my home to saint johns ER. in the same city of Maplewood. So we are really strapped for money because of that. And after having a sewer collapse and a home fuel oil storage tank rupturing over this last year each incident was a 10,000 bill. We are both disabled and he is 74 so he is on ssi. Needless to say having over 20,000 dollars on to large bills and then the eye injury to Russell amd them paramedics. Man its like one kick in the groin after another. Lucy do not move the ball let me kick it. Shesh Charlie brown. That is how I feel like with bad luck. These Vets have treated my little adopted dog brother amazingly. With the little money I have had after donating blood and selling things. My pack is back my friend will be able to not be put down. He will have an operation which really is going to save his life. Because the left eye does have to be removed. However that will release the pressure from the injury which will be like releasing your head from a vice. These guys could have nickel and dimed us to death. They were upfront with the risks and the chances involved. Our Vet Dr. D. Was amazing through the whole process. We pretty much knew that the eye would be lost although we did everything from the drops every 2 hours twice wait 5 to 10 min between each drop then do it all over in 2 hours. Do the Red drop once a day. three pills two for pain control and one for antibiotic 2 times a day with food. After doing the 2 drops every two hours for 72 hours it goes to every 5 hours pills and red drop remain the same. Which was for 14 days. Along with eye lube every few hours 4 to 5 times a day. Sometimes no matter how much you work it just is bound to fail. She took the time to make sure I knew these directions inside and out. To go over how much to feed to make sure he does not also gain weight but to also keep him cumfy. Dr. D. Had made herself open to us when we need to get into see her it has been within days not weeks. We are not rich matter of fact really the opposite. These ladies have never looked down upon us and that means a lot especially right now. They told us that this operation that Russell will have to have is well over 1,000 dollars. That maybe they had sometype of ability to help in special needs cases. The donation that was made by a person when they heard of the bad luck my dad and I had over this last year. To learn that someone just paid that bill for us made me cry. And I did not even have that happen when my aunt and grandmother died in my arms. And we shared the same birthdays. The kindness of this person still has me speechless. Thank you to whom ever you are. You have really made a difference. My pack is back and he will be able to stay alive and recover. Thank you. When I learned of what you did even though I did not have much I donated to a program for people who have financial issues for pets. If you tell me that these people do not care. Man I have a difference for you. We have been here for years with our pets through the times when money was not an issue to times like this. When your character is tested. But I will never not be a client with these people. And if they ever need anything all they have to do is call me and I will be there for them. These people care. And I love them for it. Thank you to each of the staff.

The VetTech when giving our cat IV fluids didn't want to wait the 15 minutes or so that it takes, so she squeezed the bag so it would empty quicker, bragging about how she does this on house calls so she can get in and out quicker. The vet gave us 3 options about medication, then left the room. I informed the VetTech which option I wanted. She overruled me and told me which one I was going to do - the $5,000 laser surgery on her thyroid. When I informed the vet I wanted medication, the VetTech continued to argue with me, even telling me which type of medication I was going to use for both the bladder infection and the hyperthyroidism, pill vs liquid. A year earlier we had brought our 17-year-old cat in for grooming. This VetTech had continued to shave her even though she was screaming. She even handed off the task to a new hire with no experience so she could train her while my cat was having a total meltdown. So on our last visit, I informed Dr. Sue that I didn't want this VetTech grooming our cat. Apparently, the VetTech either heard my comment or Dr. Sue mentioned it to her, because when I called to set up a follow-up appointment for our 13-year-old, over several days no one answered the phone with the call going to voice mail, and no one ever called us back, effectively leaving our cat to go cold-turkey off her thyroid medication. During the several years we've used this clinic, the VetTech has routinely run down the vets working there, stating that she has to keep an eye on them to make sure they're doing things correctly. I highly recommend using another vet where the Veterinarians are in charge instead of blinding trusting an out-of-control VetTech who does whatever she wants with impunity.
