Dr. Cal Cadmus (DVM) is the greatest thing to happen to Samson since tearing his ACL in November. Cal specializes in Golden Retrievers and has mastered the art of TPLO surgeries. Leading up to this week, I’d lost endless nights of sleep to anxiety and insomnia surrounding the fear of surgery. All of that was out the window after my hour long pre-op consultation. The past 72-hours I’ve caught up on all that sleep deprivation, and Samson has been released with high expectation for a full recovery by the end of Spring. Thank you Oakdale Veterinary Group for exceeding my expectations and taking better care of Samson than any other vet we’ve met before. Read Less

Love Dr Irving and Jason! They are the only two vets Ive ever had that explain and talked to me for an hour! They are the best in Michigan by far, Im 4 hours away so cant use them a lot. Very reasonably priced! Read Less

I cannot say enough good things. They are simply amazing. They saved my dog's life! I called with the intent to make plans to have my beloved dog put down, but they assured me they could give him a fighting chance. 30 days later and he is thriving! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oakdale Vet Group. Read Less

I wouldn't let any other vet take care of my pets. The Vets and employees are thorough, kind, explains everything in terms that a layman can understand. They are compassionate and patient. My pets are in good hands when they have a vet visit. I would recommend anyone to Oakdale Vets office Read Less

I've been to quite a few vets before with Brody. Brody is my 95lb pitbull and he's never been treated with such respect and love until we went to oakdale vet clinic. Brody usually is terrified of the vet, the second he walked in they greeted him with smiles, love and cookies, this was just the receptionists. We went back with the assistant and the dr, they were phenomenal! They explained everything very thoroughly and were very generous of Brody's needs. They treated myself and Brody with so much respect, they truly love animals and they are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend that anyone with a pet goes to this vet! They aren't a vet, they are family Thank you so much oakdale vet clinic :) from Jessica & BrodyRead Less

I moved here from oregon two years ago and i love this place. Staff are very welcoming and digger loves coming here. He was afraid to go into my old vets office. Thanks for taking good care of him and helping with his heart condition. I know he can be a little 'trying' but you guys seem to understand him. Mary Read Less

Definitely not impressed. Took my dog for a rabis shot and also to get his nails cut. When we first entered the girls working the front counter are incredibly rude continuing there own personal conversations and not even saying hello. We then got into the room. The vet asked me if I would like to get a physical for my dog and I said no not at this time and she rudly asked me "why". After she finally understood that I wasn't going to get him a physical this day he got his shot, and they proceeded to take him to the back to get his nails cut. I could here him howling ( which is normal for him when cutting nails) also you could here the vet yelling at him.. They then brought him back in an aggressive manner and abruptly said " we aren't doing this" ... My dog is so stressed from this vet visit he refuses to leave my side. I have never experienced such a negative environment when it comes to a vet. Moving here from another state with my dog I was hopeful to find a great vet and now I know it will not be oakdale veterinary group. Do not got to this place , completely unprofessional. Read Less

There are not enough words to describe the phenomenal, experienced & animal loving vets here! They take care of all of my 4 legged kids as well as any strays, rescues or injured abandoned animals I've saved and brought in. Dr Jill & Dr Robin have both been there for me on their days off when my dogs have needed them. There is no one else I'd trust my 4 legged kids with! OVG are more then just my vets, they truly are extended family. Read Less

Dr. Cal Cadmus made what I thought was going to be very emotional day by havinbg to put my dog down. But he was great and was very patient and explained to me how we could treat my dog and not have to put her down. I just can't thank him enough for everything he did for us today. And think he is an excellent veterinary! Thank you again! Read Less

We have been taking our working Labradors to Oakdale Vet for years for orthopedic injuries & surgery. The Drs have a background in retriever field trials and have an understanding of injuries and issues of the canine athlete. We recently had orthopedic surgery on our pet Yorkie due to an injury. It is worth the 2 1/2 hour drive for the outstanding professionalism & surgical expertise of the Drs. Read Less

Important note to pet owners-- case in point that saved our dog Gigi's life today, and this is why: We brought our dachshund Gigi into Oakdale Vet today for her annual dental cleaning (she also needed a few teeth to be pulled and to surgically remove a growth on her underbelly, all of which would require her to be under general anesthesia), and we had agreed with the vet to do a complete blood count/panel a few days before. Our vet, Dr. Jill Cadmus, called us this morning before the surgery was scheduled and said that the blood panel showed that Gigi's platelets (blood clotting parts of the blood) were abnormally low, and she did not do the surgery because Gigi would likely have died due to blood loss from the lack of clotting by her almost nonexistent platelets. The low level of platelets means she has a form of Immune-Mediated Thrombocytopenia or low platelets. The dog becomes lethargic and has less energy, and can bleed to death especially if wounded or operated on while having the condition. Bottom line- before you have a teeth cleaning or surgery on your pet, be sure to agree to have the vet do a complete blood panel. Many pet owners skip this blood test, but if we had skipped it this time Gigi would have died on the operating table. If you love your pet, love them enough to do the blood panel test.

We brought our black lab "Buster Posey" in for his neuter. He was awesome! The staff is fantastic and Dr. Edwards & Dr. Robin Cadmus took care of Buster 100%. I received calls throughout the process letting me know how he was doing and what to expect. I felt confident he was in the best hands and after picking him up, I knew this was the best place he could have been. Thank you for loving him the way we do and taking such good care of him. To all the amazing Drs. & Staff at OVG.... thank you!! See you his post op!!! Read Less

I had an amazing experience with the staff at Oakdale veterinarian group! Our Dane recently had surgery and had a few complications after we brought her home. Dr. Jenny Edwards came in after hours and met us there to take a look. She was so kind and gentle with Zoe. She went the extra mile to make sure Zoe got the best care possible. We are so grateful for you all!! Read Less

I just want to send a HUGE thank you to Dr. Jill, Dr. Edwards, and all of the amazing staff at OVG. I am so happy to have found this amazing office... I was so nervous to take my dog ANYWHERE to get dental work done but I am SOOO glad I came across their tent at the Oakdale Chocolate Festival. You guys are wonderful! Looks like I found a permanent veterinary office for all of my pets... Yay! Again, thank you!!! Read Less

Dr. Ned and staff have been amazing with treating my dog over the last two and a half months. Dr. Ned takes the time out to explain what is going on, treatments and to answer any other questions I may have in regards to her illness. It is very apparent they care for their patients! Thank you!!! Read Less

I have attempted this many times and still can't figure out what to say. So, I have been going to OVG since they opened in 1979. Dr. Cadmus has been outstanding with the care of my many pets. One year, my kitty Chica, was hit by a car and having just lost my Mom (chica was her cat) I was frantic to get her help. I couldn't lose her, too. Chica recovered and the visit was on the house Then, we got Cosmo, who later would be the 3rd TPLO case. I listened to Dr. Cadmus explain the surgery and just thought Wow! That's expensive. End result was a big dog who was mobile and back to normal in about 6 months. That expensive surgery was well worth the money. Cosmo lived to 14 and the day we made the call to OVG we were greeted by the staff who were just as sad as us. Next was Chloe, who developed cancer and I had always known. I even asked Dr. Cadmus to do surgery to check. Nothing was found, we operated a bit too early. So last year, we found a tumor on the jaw below her front teeth. In guessing she lived 6-7 years undiagnosed. I made the decision to let her go the day after my birthday in November 2014. All 3 of my pets were cremated and now sit on my bookshelf along with my Mom. OVG never sent me an invoice for their services I will soon be taking Miz Cookie to be spayed and for the first time it will be Dr. Jill as the Cadmus' have passed the baton to her and Dr. Ned. It's the small things that matter to me and OVG has always treated me and my pets exceptionally well. For that, I thank you OVG.Read Less

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Cal Cadmus and the staff at Oakdale Veterinary Group. Our three and a half year old Jack Russell Terrier Tia was diagnosed with a Medial Patellar Luxation (knee cap would slide off and cause her to go lame) by our veterinarian and referred us to Dr. Cadmus. Though it was a 110 mile round trip drive from home I would travel any distance to receive the service I did here! Dr. Cadmus evaluated Tia intently and thoroughly on our first visit. He confirmed that the diagnosis of the vet was correct and explained all of the possibilities for the luxation of the patella. During the consultation, he used physical models to demonstrate the problem, explained it in plain understandable language, provided us with time to ask all of our questions, and explained the recovery. At the outset, he provided us with a cost estimate which was VERY fair so we knew what we were getting into. We had dropped her off on a Monday, had surgery Tuesday, and we picked her up on Wednesday. Post-surgery, Dr. Cadmus called to let us know how it went immediately after completion, what the problem was, and provided us with the status that she was doing well. Upon pickup, Dr. Cadmus himself met with us again, explained (with models) exactly what had been done, provided us with all of the medications and instructions throughout the recovery process. The follow-up paperwork was clearly written and easy to understand and was just as Dr. Cadmus had explained. He made himself available for ANY follow-up questions or problems if they were to arise. In addition, I was told that on rare occasions, bone can grow back and cause a recurrence of the problem but the surgery is guaranteed, so there would be no charge if a second surgery was necessary. Once again, this is a rare occasion so I dont expect Ill have to take advantage of it, but it is nice to know they stand behind their work. At the time of this writing, which is 4 days after the surgery, Tia has recovered remarkably! She is already walking without a limp and actually pulls me on the leash. If it werent for Dr. Cadmus strict instructions regarding reduced activity for 6 weeks, Id say shes ready to run and resume her normal activities which involves chasing squirrels, rodents and anything that invades her turf. I plan to update this blog when Tia has been given the go for full throttle. If you love your pets, take them here! It is evident that Dr. Cadmus and the staff love animals as we do. They are not just a business.Read Less

Very disappointed. My son and daughter-in-law took their cat here due to an infection from being in a cat fight. They cleaned him up and gave him an antibiotic shot and sent him home with no more antibiotics. The cat's infection got worse resulting in a fever that left him very disoriented, and no appitite. They took him back without an appointment as they consider it an emergency. When they got him there, they were told that there would be an ADDED charge because of no appointment. Called "Old Towne Veterinary" and was told to bring in the cat, and that they NEVER charge for not having an appointment. Mel (the Vet) gave him a shot, plus sent him home with a supple of antibiotics. Thanks to Mel, the cat is much, much better, and is eating again. Read Less
