I was greatly impressed by how welcome I felt as a new client and how quickly they were able to schedule my cat for her yearly wellness checkup. All of the staff - the front desk personnel, the vet assistants, and the vet herself - were very helpful, kind, and professional. Although I had no specific issues or worries to bring up to them, they made sure to ask questions about my pet's health in a way that felt like they truly cared. My cat got two of her regular vaccinations, and the price of the overall visit was nothing unexpected. I will definitely be a returning client.

I got my dog during covid times and was never allowed to be with him during his appointment or anytime after that at my last vet. I was so happy this place allowed me to go back with my dog. The people in the back were really friendly. The people in the front were very busy and didn't even acknowledge when I greeted them goodbye. It seemed like 3 of the 4 ish people sitting in the front are just taking calls and doing appointments, which surprised me they had them sitting up front in the lobby. I think the front-end customer service could be better. They do have service plans for the animals and I did sign up for that. I hope it is worth it as it was spendy (as all of them are, but my dog's health is worth it) and now they have increased the prices. I'm glad I paid in full for the year before the prices increased. Again, the care he received thus far was great.

The staff is always so responsive and accommodating and kind. The pricing is fair and transparent with care packages available to help with pets who may need some extra help. And when the time came to say goodbye to my cat, the process was handled with gentleness and dignity. I have had a lot of negative experiences with other veterinary practices over the years which made me really nervous about finding a good doctor when I moved to a new area - I feel really lucky to have found Vet Partners and will trust any animal of mine to their top-notch care.

Reuben received the best care and I will continue to take my animals here.

I I then asked to speak with the practice manager and was told that because we hadn't been in for over a year, the full examination was required for rabies booster. When I informed her that we had been in twice over the last year, I was told that those visits didn't count because they were for ear infections and they didn't do a full examination during those visits however when I look at my receipts for those visits, I was charged an exam fee. Something really odd about this.

He's been to the vets twice (he goes to another veterinarian because Minnehaha Animal Hospital wouldn't take him) Well now my Westie is sick with the influenza now. I tried calling this morning at 7:30 but was only able to leave a message. Two hours later I sent a text and finally received a call an hour later. I told the gal the symptoms my dog was having and she told me she'll let the doctor know and get back to me later today. She then called me back a few hours later and informed me that I can pick up some medication for her cough and they're not making any appointments. She told me they're booked up for the next few days and won't make any appointments, in fact they turned down 20 other people with sick dogs today. I then asked her if I should call back sometime next year as this is outrageous. After I hung up I went to their website and made an appointment for Monday morning. I sent them a text that I'll be picking up the medication in the morning and will be in Monday morning with my dog. At this time I'll be looking for a different veterinarian.

They honestly love, love, love your pets like their own. Being a long-term client with multiple pets, we have been through so much and have felt so grateful to entrust our pets' care to these wonderful, talented, and knowledgeable practitioners. We just had to say goodbye to our dear kitty, Brutus (14 years) after being diagnosed 4.5 months earlier with Stage 4 Kidney Disease. Dr. Koppy had seen him through everything since we adopted him: regular checkups, hematomas, luxating patella surgery, and this disease. Everyone from the receptionist to the vet techs to Dr. Koppy have continued to lead with expertise, compassion, and genuine care for our kitty, especially as we found treatments to work with his final illness. When Brutus was first diagnosed, my husband and I had so many questions and concerns and I was so grateful to have Dr. Koppy address every single one with patience, kindness, and understanding. I never once felt rushed or like just another client. Dr. Koppy and her team support guardians of pets as much as the pets themselves. They even brought us in to learn how to give Sub-cutaneous fluids at home. Dr. Koppy comforted us in letting us know that even though his kidneys were ill and we had to add supplements and medications, our kitty wasn't experiencing any pain as we managed his symptoms. When Brutus took a turn for the worst practically overnight (which Dr. Koppy prepared us for well ahead of time), I tried to get him in for an appointment at the clinic the day of. When I described his symptoms, they were very adamant that he needed to get seen even if it wasn't by them. They didn't have openings but put Brutus as #1 priority on the waitlist for the day and also directed me to a clinic that could have openings. Dr. Koppy called me several times that morning as well to talk through what was happening and what her recommendations and thoughts were, even though she couldn't examine him in person herself. I am so glad they did all of this because my cat was starting to suffer significantly and quickly. We were able to see the recommended clinic to get the necessary tests needed to confirm that it was time to prevent him from suffering any more. He went peacefully at home that evening in large part because of their concerns and recommendations. The staff respectfully checked in on us with a card and phone call. This experience has only deepened our relationship with LAH. I know whatever comes our way for our 2 remaining cats (17 yo and 10 yo), I can trust that Dr. Koppy and the Lyndale Animal Hospital team will continue to do everything they can to ensure their health, well-being, and dignity as they lead the fullest lives they can. Thank you to everyone for supporting us during the good and the challenging times.

Imagine how hard that decision is and then to have to wait 4 days. On Friday, we put her in the car (at this point she could not even walk) and took her to the office. We asked to have her euthanized in our car so we could take her home to bury her. They refused to do that, so we had to carry her in (65 lbs), have her put down and then carry her back out. For being long time patients of theirs, I can't imagine a less sympathetic response to our needs. They used to be really good but now that they have grown so much, it is hard to get appointments and the visits feel rushed. We are moving on to somewhere else with our new dog.

Saying goodbye to our beloved dog, Pablo, after 13 wonderful years was heartbreaking. He was a German Shepherd who truly loved life, but his illness had reached the point where we knew it was time to let him go peacefully. Dr. Tali was absolutely amazing. From the moment she arrived, I felt completely at ease. Her calm, compassionate presence made us feel safe, supported, and confident that we were making the most loving decision for Pablo. She treated him--and our entire family--with such kindness, compassion, and respect. She never rushed us, gave us all the time and space we needed to say goodbye, and gently guided us through every step of the process. Being able to let Pablo pass peacefully in the comfort of his own home was an incredible gift. It gave us peace knowing that his final moments were calm, comfortable, and surrounded by the people who loved him most. Although this was one of the most difficult decisions we've ever had to make, Dr. Tali made it as beautiful and peaceful as it possibly could have been. We will always be thankful for the compassion, dignity, and grace she showed Pablo and our family. We wholeheartedly recommend Minnesota Pets to anyone facing this incredibly difficult decision.
