I had taken my boys a few times. When one continued to lose weight I took him in to see if he needed his thyroid meds again (having had this doc tell me to take them off). He spent a couple of seconds listening then told me that it was his kidneys. No test, he just knew. I reminded him that my cats brother has kidney issues but this cat never had. He dismissed me and began discussing end of life issues (having animals euthanized) like he had every other time I had been in there. Mind you my cat was snuggling in my arms, purring as he did all the time. This was not a suffering animal, he was still feeling good. I took him home but nothing that doc said sat right with me. A week later I took him to a different vet who actually ran some tests. NO KIDNEY ISSUES AT ALL. In fact his kidney function was just about perfect. His thyroid, off the charts. He was put on medication immediately. Needless to say I will NEVER go back to Fairleigh again! Read Less

I starting going to this office because my previous vet had extremely long wait times. I love this office! The vet and office staff are very personable. My kitten has been several times. You can schedule appointments and will be seen promptly. Read Less

Will never take our fur babies anywhere else!! We got a puppy who ended up having Parvo. For most puppies this is a certain death sentence and if it is not it is VERY expensive to treat. Luckily we took him in early and detected it early and the amazing doctor here was able to put our baby on a home treatment plan. Not only was this wonderful because we didn't have to be away from him but it also saved us a lot of money. The nurses called DAILY to check on him and even indulged our multiple "worried parent" phone calls. They saw him on the spot when we were overly anxious and didn't hesitate to get him in for fluids and extra shots of antibiotics when he wasn't responding well. With a lot of diligence and hard work I am happy to say we now have a HEALTHY thriving young pup who is on his way to a full recovery. This WOULD NOT have happened if it were not for the amazing people here. I HIGHLY recommend them for all of your animal babies! Read Less

Would not recommend! Office staff is usually pleasant and nice but it seem they take you concerns more seriously then the doctor does which is a huge problem for me. He was treating symptoms rather then the cause and not taking my concerns seriously. For someone who's pet are like their children and are a true part of there family I expect better care for them.Read Less

My parakeet had an overgrown beak, and Dr Swartz not only trimmed her beak but explained why it was overgrown. He gave us recomendations on what to buy for our birds to make them healthy and happy. Halso reassured us that parakeets can be picky eaters and we were feeding them correctly. I hope my birds stay healthy but if they ever fall ill, I know where I will be taking them. It was worth the drive across the river. Read Less

We only trust Dr. Carl and his awesome staff with our 4 legged family members. We have been seeing Dr. Carl for over 12 years with all 4 of our doggies. His knowledge of animals is second to none and has true compassion for all pets. We drive about 15 miles and pass many other vets to get to his clinic. I will also say there customer service is the best. Thank You Dr. Carl and your staff for taking such great care of our pets. Read Less

We stopped in here thinking that we'd have aisles and aisles of pet related merchandise to peruse and maybe find some interesting trinkets.  I mean, with the word 'warehouse' in the name, one would imagine that there would be loads of merchandise.  We were very disappointed.  The shelves seemed mostly empty.  It was rather desolate.  And, not a sales person in sight.  It's attached to a veterinary clinic and we could hear people on that side of the building.  However, no one came out to offer help or make sure we didn't run off with all the Kitty Kibble.

I take all 3 of my dogs to Fairleigh and 2 of the 3 have been fixed there and I'll be taking my other soon because I trust the Vet there and he understands my concerns and answers all my questions, my dogs are my babies and at Fairleigh they understand and when they have my pets they treat them with care which is comforting. I have called several times when I've needed advice when my pets were sick and they are so helpful and honest, they don't make me bring them in just to make money they tell me things I can do from home. Our pets need a trusting doctor just as we do and I trust Carl at Fairleigh because he is the only doctor there so each time you can be assured that your pet is in good hands. Another great thing is I never have to wait more than a couple minutes when I take my dogs in, they are extrememly effeciant and know the value of time and their prices can't be beat! Read Less

I have been going there for years and cannot say enough good things about this clinic. My dog ate some of my heart medication and they saved her life. I could see that my pet's wellness was their primary concern. They are very nice, helpful and you don't have to wait very long to see the doctor. I would highly recommend them to anyone. ALSO The groomers there are GREAT! Read Less

We switched from a well-known (but a clinic that you had to wait for hours and somewhat impersonal) local clinic to the Fairleigh Pet Center about 18 months ago and couldn't be happier. For one, I find the prices fairly reasonable, and the doctor, techs and assistants are all very engaged with the people and animals they treat. They sincerely care. And they choose least invasive / more natural options first, as opposed to throwing surgery or whatever on the table from the get-go. Some examples: We brought one of our pugs in due to pretty bad limping, and diagnosed as hip dysplasia finally catching up with her. But the doctor didn't even mention any kind of surgery - I mentioned it as an option and was strongly cautioned against it, and instead put her on a program of anti-inflamatories and monthly glucosamine shots. (After 3 weeks of this, our pug almost completely stopped limping.) We also had her in for annual teeth cleanings. At the old vet, she'd had 13 teeth pulled in two years (in two visits). (!!!) Since switching to Fairleigh Pet Center, she's had her teeth cleaned twice, but had NO extractions...leading us to ask ""were all those extractions at the other vet really necessary?!"" What's more, our pugs actually appear to *like* going to the vet ...well I can't be certain, but at a minimum they aren't afraid, nervous, skittish or submissive when we go. They seem happy to see the doctors and techs. Give Fairleigh's a try. You won't be disappointed Read Less

It is unfortunate about the cat your reviewer adopted. I am sure it was upsetting but I must tell my story. We also adopted a young cat from Fairleighs'. She was probably around 6 months old at the time we adopted. Miss Kitty passed away December 16, 2010. Other than routine care, she had only 2 visits to a vet for illness. When she passed away in her sleep that December she was 22 years old. What a wonderful cat we adopted from Fairleighs'. We had many, many years of joy and happiness from Miss Kitty....our adopted cat from Fairleighs'. Sometimes things happen that may be discouraging but do not jeopardize the chances for animals to get good homes. There are too many obstacles already. Just wanted to tell our story in memory of our dear Miss Kitty, who we adopted from "FAIRLEIGH PET CENTER" on Dixie Highway. Read Less

Enjoyed taking both my beagle and my cat here. Was a great experience, I am skittish around doctors and my pets going is no exception. The thoroughly talked me through everything. Took great care of my cat and pup and were even willing to answer questions about the animals after I took them home. Will most certainly be going back here. Read Less

When I called and set up my appointment to bring my 2 alley cats in for their 3 yr shots, I specifically said I wanted a 3 yr. I went to the vet today and again I said that I wanted them to have a 3 yr rabies and distemper. I also purchased topical worming medicine. Dr Swartz was wonderful with my cats. As I checked out, I paid my $90 plus dollars and the staff got their medicne and put it in a bag. I assumed that my printout of what each cat received was also in the bag. When I got home only the medicine was in the bag. I had to call back to find out what my cats got and found out they only received a 1 yr shot. Now I have to take them back in a year, which is a struggle since they do not like to be transported. I will go back to this location because of Dr Swartz but I will definately check everything before I leave. Read Less
