HORRIBLE!! I'm giving 1 star for the staff behind the counter. I took my American Bullie here because he hadn't eaten for a day and had started to drool and was very lethargic. The Vet ran several test and when I questioned her as to what these test were going to tell us she got irritated with me. She insisted we do SEVERAL more test!!! X-ray's etc. Our visit cost us $450.00 due to countless unnecessary test and they NEVER "discovered" what was wrong with our dog???? We left there without any explanation as to what was wrong with our dog. She tried to make us fear the worst i.e... kidney failure etc. I will NEVER return or recommend this place! Read Less

While driving home from the South Shore station in Hammond on Monday, 1/30, i, along with a lady living in the neighborhood, came across a young female Pomeranian, apparently scared and confused. It took us, and eventually a few neighborhood kids, about a half hour to finally catch her. I took her and she was very grateful when she realized that we were trying to help. I took responsibility to get her someplace safe. After a couple of stops, i was able to leave her here. I am convinced that she is safe. We were a little surprised that there wasn't anyone searching for her, but she will be well looked after and hopefully make it home. I am sure someone is missing this little lady. Read Less

I took my German Shepherd all her life. In the beginning, they helped me out when I thought it was her time to pass on. I kept her alive 8 years. Along the way, it was becoming quite alot of money to keep her alive. Munster kept wanting to "do what they could" but at a cost. I figured out away myself to do so. They were astonished when I didn't follow their advice. In the very end when it was that time for her to pass, Munster drained me for every dime and still wanted to even when she was in great pain! I put her to rest which was the right thing to do even though Munster wanted to keep a guinea pig theory going. I have a new puppy now who will not be going there! Read Less

TERRIBLE! My dog woke up whining when she'd move so I called the regular vet office, but that vet was on vacation. Sort of in a panic not knowing if it was serious, I didn't want to chance driving out there to see another vet and being stuck in traffic due to the bad weather & decided to go 5 minutes from home.The vet checked her ears & she had an infection. Then he wanted her to stand up but she was whining & he seemed frustrated that it took her a minute. He said they had to do bloodwork for the pain med which would cost $150. I said it's usually about $75, he assured me it's the same price as other places (not true). This visit was $380, which seemed very high. I called the regular vet to make a follow-up appt & asked how much for bloodwork, $74 (double at Munster). When telling a friend about the price, they said I got ripped off paying $70 for antibiotics. We called 5 local vets, looked up 2 online sites, the highest price for the same medication was $12. I thought Munster made a mistake with the price (how foolish of me). When calling to question it, the lady I spoke to was said it's the same price as anywhere else. I told her she can look at the 2 sites online to see their prices to see how much they overcharge. This incident made me remember why I stopped taking my dog here when she was a puppy and I was so happy to find the vet she's been going to who cares about your pet and not just your money. I would never go to this place again! Read Less

The most insensitive vet I've ever been to.  My 5 year old cat was having some urinary tract issues and had some crystals.  I could tell he was in pain but still purring and walking around.  Dr. Sarah Withey examined him and advised he needed fluids, overnight care, and some medications.  I agreed but when I saw the $900 quote, I told her I was in between jobs  (in the animal care field) and asked if they could work with me.  Withey basically shrugged and said the words "well then you may want to look into euthanasia".   WHAT?  This is my 5 year old otherwise healthy, energetic, cat.  They did not offer care credit or to reduce the bill at all.  I ended up going somewhere else and paid less than $300 for an overnight stay, fluids, take home meds and special food. Best part is- I am now an animal control officer in the area.  Whenever someone mentions Munster I tell them my story and warn them NEVER to give Munster their business :).  Oh and in case you're wondering Dr. Withey, he is a happy, healthy cat.

My husband and I (along with other family members and friends) have been taking our pets here for years. My cat gets a little bit of a bladder problem once in a while. It happened again and I tried to order her meds online and called the hospital to inform them that my parents are currently watching my cat. They denied me because they just wanted her to come in and probably run tests, give her shots and jack up the vet bill. I asked for one favor after years of having my pets as patients. I could not reason with them and they do not care that my poor cat just needs a simple prescription. I told them I will not be back and their reply was simply "okay". I am very disappointed but I WILL get my pet the medicine she needs today no thanks to them. Read Less

Munster Animal Hospital is one of the only animal clinics around the nearby area that take walk-ins so they were able to see my cat same day. The vet techs and the vet, Dr. Clubine, were very friendly and explained pretty clearly what was going to be done. However once we went to check out is when my mind was blown: $275 for an exam, 2 radiographs, a shot of antibiotics, a shot of an anti-inflammatory and a fitted cone. Now this may actually be one of the cheaper vets around the area (the exam cost was around the same as most clinics but the X-ray cost was lower -- I called around before coming in), but the expenses do add up quickly and they don't really give you a heads up on how much things will be until your visit is over. I was desperate for a vet to check my cat today or else I would have waited to see my affordable vet in Indianapolis. Read Less

I adopted a rottweiler and she had all of her shots. I took her for her last successful round of vaccinations and she was quite healthy. Four months after her shot she developed parvo! For those who have never heard of Parvo please don't google it, because it's gross. Well, she was gravely ill and I took her to Munster Animal Hospital. I was on my last dime at that point in my life, but I wasn't going to let her die. When the vet examined her he stated that she needed to be admitted. I explained that I was very low on funds and wanted to know what services they would provide if she was admitted instead of being brought back each day for treatment? He said,"If she needs immediate care we will provide it and you will be charged according to what happens, if not you can have her cremated." He tapped the top of the freezer that was behind me, which I'm assuming was where they kept deceased animals awaiting cremation. I was devastated. I said,"I will bring her in for the IV treatments." He said,"Your dog couldn't have recieved her vaccinations if she caught parvo." I said,"She had all of her shots. Am I correct that certain breeds like rottweilers, german shepherds, pit bulls, and dobermans are more likely to catch parvo even with vaccinations?" He didn't say anything, because he knew I was right. A moment later he said,"This happened, because you didn't get your dog the proper vaccinations." *shakes head* Why did this Dr. feel like it was okay to be accusatory towards me (a new customer) when he was well aware that he could be wrong? Why did he pitch a sales tactic by telling me that my dog would die and could be cremated, if I didn't want round the clock services, which I could not afford at the time? I've never had a doctor let alone a vet speak to me in such a callus and disrespectful tone! I'm surprised this vet is still in business after all these years. *****Note: After this incident I walked out with my dog crying and called my original vet and he agreed to see her even though he had originally stated he couldn't take anymore parvo cases. When he saw her he agreed outpatient care would be fine. My dog survived. She received IV treatments daily costing me over $600, which I didn't mind spending to save her life. If I would have left her at the other vet overnight the guy could have told me he did anything and I would have been obligated to pay for it, which could have resulted in a bill for several thousand dollars! I've heard stories about stuff like that. Read Less

I'm sorry, you won't accept my other vet's paperwork? You're going to run all of these redundant and unnecessary tests on my dog? You're revaccinating my dog?! It's almost laughable how transparent their efforts to upsell are, assigning "necessary" procedures and tests. And at the end of it, you're not even sure if they actually critically looked at your animal because you've spent the entire time waiting in the lobby, then the office, between tests. You can find less expensive and more thorough vets in the area, including Chicago. I'm from New York but have been here for work the last few months, and even in NYC, the most expensive city in this country, I currently have a cheaper, better vet.

While driving home from the South Shore station in Hammond on Monday, 1/30, i, along with a lady living in the neighborhood, came across a young female Pomeranian, apparently scared and confused. It took us, and eventually a few neighborhood kids, about a half hour to finally catch her. I took her and she was very grateful when she realized that we were trying to help. I took responsibility to get her someplace safe. After a couple of stops, i was able to leave her here. I am convinced that she is safe. We were a little surprised that there wasn't anyone searching for her, but she will be well looked after and hopefully make it home. I am sure someone is missing this little lady. Read Less

I took my German Shepherd all her life. In the beginning, they helped me out when I thought it was her time to pass on. I kept her alive 8 years. Along the way, it was becoming quite alot of money to keep her alive. Munster kept wanting to "do what they could" but at a cost. I figured out away myself to do so. They were astonished when I didn't follow their advice. In the very end when it was that time for her to pass, Munster drained me for every dime and still wanted to even when she was in great pain! I put her to rest which was the right thing to do even though Munster wanted to keep a guinea pig theory going. I have a new puppy now who will not be going there! Read Less

TERRIBLE! My dog woke up whining when she'd move so I called the regular vet office, but that vet was on vacation. Sort of in a panic not knowing if it was serious, I didn't want to chance driving out there to see another vet and being stuck in traffic due to the bad weather & decided to go 5 minutes from home.The vet checked her ears & she had an infection. Then he wanted her to stand up but she was whining & he seemed frustrated that it took her a minute. He said they had to do bloodwork for the pain med which would cost $150. I said it's usually about $75, he assured me it's the same price as other places (not true). This visit was $380, which seemed very high. I called the regular vet to make a follow-up appt & asked how much for bloodwork, $74 (double at Munster). When telling a friend about the price, they said I got ripped off paying $70 for antibiotics. We called 5 local vets, looked up 2 online sites, the highest price for the same medication was $12. I thought Munster made a mistake with the price (how foolish of me). When calling to question it, the lady I spoke to was said it's the same price as anywhere else. I told her she can look at the 2 sites online to see their prices to see how much they overcharge. This incident made me remember why I stopped taking my dog here when she was a puppy and I was so happy to find the vet she's been going to who cares about your pet and not just your money. I would never go to this place again! Read Less

The most insensitive vet I've ever been to.  My 5 year old cat was having some urinary tract issues and had some crystals.  I could tell he was in pain but still purring and walking around.  Dr. Sarah Withey examined him and advised he needed fluids, overnight care, and some medications.  I agreed but when I saw the $900 quote, I told her I was in between jobs  (in the animal care field) and asked if they could work with me.  Withey basically shrugged and said the words "well then you may want to look into euthanasia".   WHAT?  This is my 5 year old otherwise healthy, energetic, cat.  They did not offer care credit or to reduce the bill at all.  I ended up going somewhere else and paid less than $300 for an overnight stay, fluids, take home meds and special food. Best part is- I am now an animal control officer in the area.  Whenever someone mentions Munster I tell them my story and warn them NEVER to give Munster their business :).  Oh and in case you're wondering Dr. Withey, he is a happy, healthy cat.

My husband and I (along with other family members and friends) have been taking our pets here for years. My cat gets a little bit of a bladder problem once in a while. It happened again and I tried to order her meds online and called the hospital to inform them that my parents are currently watching my cat. They denied me because they just wanted her to come in and probably run tests, give her shots and jack up the vet bill. I asked for one favor after years of having my pets as patients. I could not reason with them and they do not care that my poor cat just needs a simple prescription. I told them I will not be back and their reply was simply "okay".

Munster Animal Hospital is one of the only animal clinics around the nearby area that take walk-ins so they were able to see my cat same day. The vet techs and the vet, Dr. Clubine, were very friendly and explained pretty clearly what was going to be done. However once we went to check out is when my mind was blown: $275 for an exam, 2 radiographs, a shot of antibiotics, a shot of an anti-inflammatory and a fitted cone. Now this may actually be one of the cheaper vets around the area (the exam cost was around the same as most clinics but the X-ray cost was lower -- I called around before coming in), but the expenses do add up quickly and they don't really give you a heads up on how much things will be until your visit is over. I was desperate for a vet to check my cat today or else I would have waited to see my affordable vet in Indianapolis. Read Less

I adopted a rottweiler and she had all of her shots. I took her for her last successful round of vaccinations and she was quite healthy. Four months after her shot she developed parvo! For those who have never heard of Parvo please don't google it, because it's gross. Well, she was gravely ill and I took her to Munster Animal Hospital. I was on my last dime at that point in my life, but I wasn't going to let her die. When the vet examined her he stated that she needed to be admitted. I explained that I was very low on funds and wanted to know what services they would provide if she was admitted instead of being brought back each day for treatment? He said,"If she needs immediate care we will provide it and you will be charged according to what happens, if not you can have her cremated." He tapped the top of the freezer that was behind me, which I'm assuming was where they kept deceased animals awaiting cremation. I was devastated. I said,"I will bring her in for the IV treatments." He said,"Your dog couldn't have recieved her vaccinations if she caught parvo." I said,"She had all of her shots. Am I correct that certain breeds like rottweilers, german shepherds, pit bulls, and dobermans are more likely to catch parvo even with vaccinations?" He didn't say anything, because he knew I was right. A moment later he said,"This happened, because you didn't get your dog the proper vaccinations." *shakes head* Why did this Dr. feel like it was okay to be accusatory towards me (a new customer) when he was well aware that he could be wrong? Why did he pitch a sales tactic by telling me that my dog would die and could be cremated, if I didn't want round the clock services, which I could not afford at the time? I've never had a doctor let alone a vet speak to me in such a callus and disrespectful tone! I'm surprised this vet is still in business after all these years. *****Note: After this incident I walked out with my dog crying and called my original vet and he agreed to see her even though he had originally stated he couldn't take anymore parvo cases. When he saw her he agreed outpatient care would be fine. My dog survived. She received IV treatments daily costing me over $600, which I didn't mind spending to save her life. If I would have left her at the other vet overnight the guy could have told me he did anything and I would have been obligated to pay for it, which could have resulted in a bill for several thousand dollars! I've heard stories about stuff like that. Read Less

I'm sorry, you won't accept my other vet's paperwork? You're going to run all of these redundant and unnecessary tests on my dog? You're revaccinating my dog?! It's almost laughable how transparent their efforts to upsell are, assigning "necessary" procedures and tests. And at the end of it, you're not even sure if they actually critically looked at your animal because you've spent the entire time waiting in the lobby, then the office, between tests. You can find less expensive and more thorough vets in the area, including Chicago.
