Real fun stuff. Then we went to Village. Some magical turn of events let me tell you... because she was completely comfortable with the staff, let them walk her back for shots like it was nothing. Flabbergasted and stunned. Customers/patients for life.

We took our 3 happy and healthy dogs here for a routine teeth cleaning, exam, and one to be spayed, and ALL 3 that were seen by Dr Matt P. came home the next day with different severe illnesses and bloody diarrhea. Pancreatitis and GI issues which can be caused by improper monitoring during anesthesia. Because of this WE have to pay upwards of $1500 in testing and meds. One could understand if maybe 1 dog had issues but it's insulting to suggest that it's simply a coincidence that all 3 of my dogs get the exact same issue. When we contacted corporate about the issue they did an "internal investigation" which is really just performed by one of their own paid employees Dr Hog who is essentially a Public Relations mouthpiece to simply explain the policy that screws you over while feigning empathy.. no conflict of interest there, right? She essentially claimed that since she cannot prove her employer did something wrong that we don't get a refund. We'll be pursuing legal action, complaining to the Vet board of MN, contacting BBB, and continuing our dispute of charges with the banks. Run far away from Banfield and again, check the BBB reviews.

When I first adopted my dog 14 years ago, our vet at the time in Michigan set a very high bar. I…read morepretty much credit her with single-handedly saving my dog over the course of two years. We no longer live in that state and I have honestly never found a vet as good as she was. We have just started seeing Dr. Williamson, but after three visits, I already know that she's the best vet we've found since then. She may even be on the same level as our vet in Michigan. What sets Dr. Williamson apart -- and what reminds me of our old vet in Michigan -- is that she really cares. She never rushes an appointment. She always takes the amount of time that it takes, period. She answers all of my questions, explains things thoroughly and gives us good suggestions that are both smart and practical (because hey as much as we love our dogs, we aren't rich!). She also thinks ahead -- giving refills on meds so you don't have to bring your dog back in just to get a prescription and offering some good common sense advice in a calm, reassuring manner that makes me feel at ease. I also love that she and her staff are really thinking about how to make the vet a less terrifying place for animals, since our dogs are afraid of everything. They are currently testing "no stress" environments, avoiding using the overhead fluorescent light in favor of softer in-room lighting and even playing relaxing music. I know some people will laugh at that, but our dogs find the vet to be a really stressful experience (since bad or painful things usually happen there), and I at least really appreciate a vet that thinks about things from the dog's point of view. While the jury is still out on whether Dr. Williamson is as good as our Michigan vet, I can tell you that she is for sure our new regular vet. Best we've found in the Twin Cities. Don't let the location in a strip mall fool you -- this is an A+ vet clinic, and you should take your pets there.

But they don't treat me like I'm ever too much of a bother, and the care they give my buddy is incredible. They listen to the whole story, they involve you in decisions about the direction of care you'd like to take - aggressive or conservative, which again, with our medical history is important. Today I was offered one expensive treatment plan or another much more affordable one "but the plan will be the same" - so they didn't try to convince me of paying more for the same outcome, didn't try to "upsell" the visit, but at least gave me options for now and FYI for the future. I usually see Dr Lee, but we've seen other docs there and I'd see any of them! I'll say, some of the other reviews sound like "you problems," so please don't read too subjectively into all reviews.

I have German Shepherd dogs and they didn't seem comfortable or able to properly give them the care they needed. They acted nervous and afraid to give them the care they needed and therefore my GSD didn't get the care he needed from this office. I brought my dog to Rockford Road Animal Hospital and it was a completely different experience. The vet techs and veterinarians there understood how to deal with this breed and were able to treat him and give him the care he needed. Whereas at Northwest Animal Hospital they "tried" treating him and were not able to and sent us away causing us to spend more money on additional appointments which resulted in my dog getting a delayed medical diagnosis he needed. I wouldn't recommend Northwest Animal Hospital for breeds of dogs that can be a bit more challenging. It's all about the approach and it was a day and night experience with Rockford Road Animal Hospital compared to them. I will continue bringing my cats there but I won't be bringing my dogs there again.
