(That was Columbus, Ohio, so I can't easily go back to that one.) This place doesn't, and I'm starting to think that is a problem. This last visit they didn't get enough blood and called me 30 minutes later. Luckily they had enough for the important stuff and I just cancelled the rest. There is a bit of an unpleasant vibe there - it reminds me of a past toxic workplace, tbh. I was scolded by a technician for being 8 minutes late (my fault), but then we sat there for five minutes because the exam room computer had to start, i.e wasn't ready. Okay. There is also no way to talk to the doctors directly except at exam time so if the staff is a little rude, well, who's going to ever know? I'll probably keep going there because I like the doctor and they do the rabies titer, but I'm not to too keen on letting let them take blood out of my sight again, especially after reading that other review here about it. It seems like if they are unwilling to do it in front of me then that is a red flag.

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.

Today I tried to get in to get a bordatella booster and was told that we had to have a full examination ($75) first and that it was REQUIRED BY LAW. When pressed hard on that, she finally admitted it wasn't actually a law. 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. What kind of animal hospital won't see your dog when they're sick???

It's amazing how many times I hear Corcoran Pet Care pop up in conversations with pet owners in the…read morecities (a good 30-40 minutes away from CPC). Not that I regularly accost pet owners with questions about their pet care or anything--but when it comes up it's always surprising. It seems as though a lot of dog breeders go out of their way to take their pets to CPC. It has a good reputation that way. I grew up just a few miles from CPC, and I have many, many memories of taking various dogs and cats there for vet care as a kid. The staff was always friendly and caring--the vets were incredibly kind and knowledgeable (and were not above gently explaining things to a kid; i.e. when my dog had tumors and we had to make the decision to put him to sleep; or when my cat was shot and we had to do at-home wound care). When I moved out on my own and embarked on independent pet ownership, I still made the drive back to CPC. Not only because their care is top-notch, but also because they are--surprisingly--significantly cheaper than any vet in the cities. I haven't had to have a pet spayed/neutered in a while, but at the time the costs were somewhere around $20-25 for a male cat neuter versus $100+ for other vets around the cities. I hear now that they can have wait lists and there are rumors (that I cannot confirm) of them restricting their client base to the immediate location and existing/grandfathered in clients--but they're still worth a call. They've remodeled since I was a young 'un, and they have quite a bit in terms of food, supplies, etc. now as well.

The vet wanted to run 3 different tests for conjunctivitis, and I was able to talk her down to 2 tests. The vet tech told me a rabies vaccination had to be given to my indoor cat as it was a state law. I told her I didn't want my cat getting a vaccination and asked her if it really was a state law and she said yes. I looked it up when I got home and it isn't a state law. When I called back and asked about being told something that wasn't true, it was explained to me that it is a policy in Maple Grove for all pets to be up to date on their rabies vaccination so they enforce that policy no matter where the owner lives since their clinic is located in Maple Grove. She said someone should have told me that when I called to make the appointment - but no one did. They also prescribed an eye ointment/medication that the 3 closest pharmacies to me did not carry, but one of them could order for $260. It took about 2 hours for North Paws to adjust the prescription to the medication the pharmacist recommended and to call it into the pharmacy where I was waiting so I could pick up (I was waiting in the parking lot the whole time and unable to be home to ensure my cat wasn't having an adverse side effect to the unwanted rabies vaccine). If you decide to take your pet here, I would plan to attempt to determine what your pet actually needs versus what they are recommending - it feels like you have to be an advocate for your pet as it appears their focus is on profit, even if that means deceiving the owner.
