“My first contact was on the phone with Chris. I was seriously stressed about my cat's health and he made me feel at ease. It was a simple call, but at the time I needed to feel like I was making the right decision to change veterinary providers and I am really thankful that I did. Everyone is always helpful, answers my questions, and I never feel rushed.”
“We love taking our fur babies here! We both have had pets our whole childhoods but now we live alone and have a puppy AND a kitten and HSHV Vet clinic has been great for us! We were worried about being able to afford good, quality care for our babies but HSHV has been affordable and extremely upfront about all of the costs, even for our pug who had to have a stenotic nares surgery. It's very comforting knowing we are not sacrificing the quality of care for the price. They have also been extremely diligent in taking the time to answer all of our questions and make sure we leave understanding everything that was talking about during our appointments as well as offering extra tips for things like nail clipping and teeth brushing at home.”
“All of the staff here are exceptionally wonderful people, they truly care about providing nothing but the best for your pets. Thank you for everything, Millie feels much better now!”
“Uptown Veterinary Clinic staff was absolutely amazing when we had to say goodbye to our 15 year old lab, Talula. They explained everything and let our sweet girl stay on her bed in the back of our car so she could be outside in the sunshine. They gave us time for lots of hugs and tears, making such a painful experience as comfortable as possible. The staff was incredible! They also made sure Faithful Companion was there within minutes of us leaving to take her for cremation. We received a call the following morning saying she was back and ready to be taken home! Uptown Vet staff even washed her blanket and had it ready when we returned. I highly recommend Uptown Veterinary Clinic. We miss our "Lula" so much but the compassion and care they showed to us and Talula will never be forgotten.”
“The one and only place for Cats. The Doctors, techs, and receptionist are great! I am so happy to have a cat only clinic in my area. They know more about cats and understand the cat/human relationship! Also, I never have to worry about running into dogs in reception. (I love dogs, but my cat does not) The cat is upset enough! love this place”
“Out cat was seen on time (at the scheduled appointment time). The doctor, the tech, and the check-in/check-out person were all very friendly and accommodating. Everyone took great interest in our cat's health and took good care of him during the annual exam and vaccination. The text and email reminders about the appointment were helpful. Thanks, and keep up the great work!”
“2024 UPDATE: I wanted to share that I've been a client working with CCAH for at least a few years now, and their level of care and dedication continues to be top tier and somehow improving upon that greatness! They are a super far drive for me, as I've moved in the last year, but I continue to visit them because I value their expertise and practice so much! They've expanded in many ways, offering a variety of new services like 24/7 phone staffing. I feel so confident in the care they provide to my fur babies. Every single person I interact with is a gem, and I appreciate them all! I've had such a pleasure getting to know the CCAH team. I wish they shared their favorite office snacks on their website or something, so that I could shower them in little treats to make the long work days easier. They deserve the world!
Original review: Can we stop for a minute to appreciate when a animal hospital truly loves what they do and appreciates our pets? That's what they do here.
I have an almost 7 year old dog and a 2 year old cat. They are my babies, and I will take them to the medical professionals without hesitation to make sure they're happy/healthy.
The entire team at Compassionate Care Animal Hospital is so lovely! Dr. Forbes especially has been a light in our life. My dog has been struggling with some chronic issues for a few years now (she's a tricky case, seen a variety of vets over the years) and I love love love our primary care vet but brought our pup here to explore options they don't have (like imaging, for example).
I heard back from Dr. Forbes within four DAYS of her testing with a complex written explanation/treatment plan that included alternative options to her recommendations. Are you kidding me?! That's outstanding!
The last thing I wanted to mention is how happy my dog is when we leave. I know it sucks not to be able to go in with our babies, but I don't have too much concern about that here. My dog is extremely nervous but it's so clear that every person in the office takes care of your pet while they're inside. My dog warmed right up to them. Their impact was so great that when we went to the pet store down the road after our appointment my pup was warm and excited (without hesitation) with those strangers, too! They have a lasting impact on their patients. <3
I can't recommend them and this hospital enough. If you have a furry friend who needs the help of medical professionals, please give them a shot!”
“I love this clinic! I’ve been taking my rabbit here for about a year for regular checkups, a spay, and other concerns. Everyone there is so kind and knowledgeable. My rabbit is happy and healthy. Highly recommend!”
“We took our beautiful and beloved Khaleesi to Stadium last week for her rainbow bridge appointment.
She had a very rare adverse reaction to a treatment and then a series of incorrect diagnoses and treatments through two after-hour care areas.
When we came to the understanding that she was not going to recover, we brought her in with the whole family at the very end of the day at Stadium. Dr. Megan made the time to meet with us (though we didn't have an evaluation appointment). She talked through the symptoms and the prior treatments. She confirmed the prognosis that our baby would not recover. And she listened. She listened while our youngest talked to her about our dog, what she was like, how we had treateed her, where we were not listened to...
She confirmed each injection with us, ensuring the kids were prepared to watch or not watch, etc. She allowed us to be with our grief, not trying to soothe us or move us forward more quickly. She reflected a true compassionate stance. When we left the office, I looked at the time and realized we had kept her over her shift by a good deal. And yet-- she then emailed over the weekend to check in on US, how WE were doing with our grief.
We have been bringing our pups to Stadium Veterinary since before the name change. 12 years now, maybe? (They used to be Affordable Vet.) It's possible we will NEVER go to an after-hours clinic again if we can help it....
Their entire team is caring and careful-- and BOTH of these qualities signal their excellence. Many thanks, Stadium Vet, and Dr. Megan especially.”
“I truly can’t speak highly enough of this vet. I’m grateful from the bottom of my heart to the whole staff for their steadfast determination, compassion, and wisdom through my dog’s health issues and later battle with cancer. You’ve never seen a dog more loved and well-cared-for at a doctor than him, and he would practically bust the door down to see some or his favorite people every time.
My puppy now benefits from the kindness of the team as well. From social visits to help him warm up to new situations to taking several minutes to patiently encourage him to use the scale, they’ve helped him grow so confident in such a short amount of time that he now loves to see his friends at the vet—just like his brother before him.
I’ve spent more time than most with the Washtenaw Veterinary Hospital staff (and vets in general), and I can honestly say they’re the best of the best. The facilities are clean, the service is always thorough but on time, and the doctors will work to uncover solutions and options other vets won’t even suggest (speaking from experience).”
“Once again, the staff at the Huron Valley Humane Society veterinary clinic have exceeded my expectations! I have been taking my pets there for many years and somehow they always manage to have the most compassionate staff and provide the best affordable care from yearly vaccinations to dental care and surgery. I will go no where else!
Thank you to everyone at Huron Valley Humane Society.”
“Recently brought my anxious 22 month old rescue pittie to this clinic for the first time. She is a very sweet girl but incredibly vocal and jumpy. Almost all of the staff members were immediately welcoming and excited to meet my dog which is refreshing considering pit bulls usually get a bad rap. We waited in our assigned room for nearly half an hour before the appointment truly started, but luckily the exam was thorough and I received multiple resources for training anxious and hyperactive dogs. Scheduled our girl's spay surgery on the way out, with which they were very detailed when explaining each fee for surgery. New client wellness exam for my dog was only $50, so pretty reasonably priced considering the depth of care and advice they provide. I would recommend bringing your fur babies here!! Plus they accept CareCredit!!”
“We had to put down our sweet baby today. The people were so kind and so patient with us. They explained everything that was going to happen. Although we're deeply saddened, we're also immensely grateful to all of the people at Bluepearl for treating us and our kitty with compassion and respect. Thank you.
I have to write a second review. BluePearl just sent us a personal sympathy card with employees' thoughts and signatures. It deeply touched our hearts. So thoughtful and kind. God bless all of you.”
“Dr fung is amazing. She’s been a blessing since our cats are so scared of everything and everyone. She even helped us find a home for the stray we found a few months ago. Highly recommended for all your pet’s medical and routine needs.”
“I took my Bunny Kodiak to Animal Kingdom after calling 8 different vets In my area to see if he could be seen for his Head tilt issue, Animal Kingdom was able to get me in to an appointment in less than a weeks period. Very sweet staff and they handled my Kodiak with such care. Highly recommend going here for you exotic/small pets.”
“They took great care of our dog over some difficult years for her. The staff was always caring, and the vets who cared for her truly wanted what was best for her and us as a family.”
“Each time I visit this practice for grooming, vaccinations, prescriptions I feel like I am with family, and they are a family, a team of professionals dedicated to our beloved pets. From the front reception with Cindy and Robin to the Veterinarians, Dr. Smaltz and Dr. R. they provide timely visits excellent information and are genuinely concerned about the pet's welfare. The groomer Nancey is the best in the business, my dog leaves looking like she is ready for Westminster! The kennel staff walk and assist with bathing and a hundred other tasks that support the clinic and clients. Thank you all for your TLC, it measures your humanity in treating the innocent with such care.”
“I highly recommend Ann Arbor Animal Hospital - they are caring and compassionate.
Our dog suddenly started suffering seizures. We didn't know what to do, so we tried to find a pet hospital with availability. Fortunately, Ann Arbor Animal Hospital was able to see him on short notice. During the visit, they explained the different options available and we decided to try medication. Unfortunately, our dog took a turn for the worse that same day, and we had to quickly return to the hospital - they were flexible and took us right in. They were very compassionate as we had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to our beloved little pup. This was so hard for us. But we're grateful that this hospital was there to provide support in our moment of need.”

5245 Jackson Rd STE E, Ann Arbor“We’ve brought our dogs and kitten here over the years but our recent kitten experience inspired me to write a review. A week after finding a stray kitten, he ceased all eating and drinking. We took him to our usual vet and then brought him home for medication and syringe feeding. Despite our efforts, he continued to decline and our primary vet said it was time for hospitalization and IVs.
Our kitten was at death’s door when we brought him in. Our vet called ahead of time and the team here was ready to take him. Within an hour, intake and history was complete and they had him ready for care. They were very transparent about cost and sympathetic both to the unexpected emotional and financial toll—which I was appreciative of.
We received a call the next morning at 7 AM by the vet who seemed genuinely happy that our little guy had made a complete 180 and was doing much better. They advised us to leave him there the rest of the day but also gave the option to take him home. We decided to play it safe and received an additional call at 5 PM with updates and that he was ready for discharge. We now have a healthy, happy, playful kitten that you would never guess just 24 hours ago he was close to dying.
I’m very grateful for the team here and everything they have done over the years for our pets. I’ve witnessed some very heart wrenching cases in their waiting room. It’s important to remember this isn’t your usual clinic and the staff is often incredibly busy and facing some of the worst case scenarios we can have for our pets. We have to give them grace and despite the times where it felt staff was having a hard day, I still had the impression they genuinely cared about my pet’s well-being.”
“The staff are very friendly and answered all my questions for my puppy’s first vet appointment! They explained my options thoroughly and helped me sign up for the puppy plan to ensure my little guy is well taken care of!”
“First of all, I would like thanks to all the people working in this place special doctor cluett he saved my dog since the first day I was there.
