This veterinary office is absolutely wonderful. We had a very bad experience with our prior vet clinic that is here in the area twice now and I was not about to allow them to have three strikes so we moved to Cottonwood and I couldn’t be happier. They got us in the same day we called for our dog and scheduled her surgery for 2 days later when her vet that she has been going to her entire life wouldn’t see her for 5 days. The staff here is great, very personable, and very caring. Thank you so much to all of you. Read Less

While they were not cheap, Dr. Whalen saw our cat within 24 hours when our regular vet couldn't. He was thorough, and kind. Definitely would recommend him to anyone who is close by.

Very friendly staff. I have been going here for years now. EDIT: They will not send in prescriptions to 1800petmeds, and told me I would have to stop in to get the prescription to send it in myself. I'd rather not be forced to take over an hour off of work to drive in and do something that they should be more than willing to help with. Read Less

We drive from miles out of town to still come see our fellow pet lovers to get fantastic care for our fur babies.

I have been a veterinarian for 19 years, Twelve of those years were spent learning from Tim Whalen and working at Cottonwood Veterinary Center. I now practice in Connecticut. Cottonwood Veterinary Center is by far the most ethical and caring practice in all of West Michigan with three highly educated and empathetic veterinarians. I would trust no one else with my dog. All three vets at CVC are phenomenal experienced ethical clinicians who only want to do what is best for your pet. I loved practicing veterinary medicine here and from an inside opinion everyone who works here from veterinarians to receptionists to technicians is exemplary and loves keeping your pets healthy Read Less

Brought in our elderly rat because of breathing issues. He has chronic respiratory disease which is common. We normally go to the Animal Medical Center of Wyoming but it was an emergency and couldn't be seen same day. Went to Cottonwood instead. The dr didn't look at him for more than a few mins before recommending an aggressive antibiotic without listening to his lungs. The dosage was RIDICULOUS - almost a full syringe for a rat, twice a day, that tastes and smells terrible. He did get better, but afterwards became more sick than he had previously. He died here just last week. Our other rat has the same issue but receives a diff medication from Animal Medical and is still kicking. Will not be returning. Read Less

We brought our 4 month old German shepherd in, who was puking and hunched over and appeared very sick. My entire family goes there and said they were a great vet. They turned me down because I couldn't pay upfront, and they didn't bother asking to work something out. They just declined me. My poor puppy, ended up dying, probably a terrible death. She was so sick and miserable. She left behind my 2 young sons, and many other people who loved her. You should feel guilty for making our puppy suffer in terrible pain. You guys are Money hungry! My husband and I would have been willing to spend the money to heal her, but my husband was out of town and I had little money in my pocket . would you turn down a infant that was severally sick, just because his parents didn't have the cash on hand?? People are sick. And the lady's at the vet didn't even look at my puppy. They looked at me like I was a fool. All I can do is pray, that this will not happen to any other animal. Do not attend this vet, all they care about is money!! Read Less
