My dog was put to sleep here, and it was ultimately the worst experience I've ever had. From him screaming behind doors when they gave him the shot. To him lying on the floor awake, unable to move for 30 mins. To the Drs having to give him 3 more shots because the first one or two or three weren't placed properly or enough. To the computers being down, but mailed a ridiculous bill months later. A bummer of a memory to have. Read Less

My gorgeous boy is gone! I had the honor of having him in my life after he was given to me, approx 10-11 years ago. My boy was a mess! He had a hard time with his balance, his hind end had pretty much given out. He could no longer lift his leg or bend to take care of his bodily functions. I was giving him a bath every week because of his issues, it was not pleasant, but it made him feel better. I worked as fast as I could, so he would not sit down and I would have to struggle... to get him back on his feet. I had the privilege of putting him down and my vet was wonderful! She gave Charlie the initial injection to relax him and give me some final time with my big boy. I was happy for the final time alone with him, to talk to him and sink my fingers into his deep and never ending coat of hair. (I always said, his fur would make a wonderful pillow! His undercoat was soooooo thick and soft!) I can't say enough about my vet and her staff. Margaret Berry, DVM, you sat with me on the floor with my boy, well after he was gone and just talked to me! You told me Charlie made it home before I did, you were so right! I may have had his body, but he made it home, to the rainbow bridge long before I got him home, to our home. Thank you Dr. Berry for just sitting and talking and not being in a hurry to go home and see your fur babies. The time you spent with me just talking was priceless, bless you! I am thankful for your staff, they were wonderful! They helped me take my boy to car and knew what they were doing and what needed to be done to get my BIG boy in the car. They took the initiative to get him in the car, it was all good! Tonight I had one less food bowl to fill, one less dog bed being used.....it hurts! Some knew I was putting Charlie down today, they called to make sure I was ok. I am as OK as I can be, putting a child down is not easy, but what is worse is seeing the pain that is being endured by my child. See More Read Less

I've been taking my cats to Dr. Berry and team for over 10 years now. They are kind, compassionate and always there when you need them. Dr. Berry saved my FIV+ kitty when another vet told me there were no options but to put him down. He was only 2 years old. She nursed him back to health, showed me how to give him fluids at home, and he is now almost 12 and doing great! Dr. Berry and Dr. Sage are excellent veterinarians and all the people who work at Mt. Hope truly care for the animals as though they were their own. I wouldn't take my "kids" anywhere else! Read Less

I went to grad school at MSU for two years and brought along my senior dog with me. Since, I've moved back to LA and have been to 3 vets. I keep wishing that I could take her to Mt. Hope. The level of care Dr. Berry and Dr. Sage gave her was top notch! They always took their time with her, were very thorough, and kept me informed with everything. They also respected my holistic viewpoints and helped me treat her as holistically as possible. While there, she also had cancer and the surgery they performed went flawlessly. She walked out of surgery like a champ! In addition to their superior level of care, they are very reasonably price (though I am comparing to what they charge in LA). All in all, there weren't very many things I liked about MI, but Mt. Hope Vet Hospital was one of them. We miss you guys!!!!! Read Less

The vets at  Mt hope have taken care of numerous (3 dogs and up to 8 cats) pets over the past 16 years and I couldn't be happier.  I have a sibling who is an Internal Medicine Vet so I know what good care is and they provide it.  While the facility may be older it is always clean and well kept (you don't need a multimillion dollar facility to provide good care).  Staff is always busy caring for animals, so you may have to wait a few minutes but they have always been friendly and helpful.

My wife and I brought our 10-month-old kitten Milo to Mt. Hope Veterinary Hospital a couple of weeks after he had undergone emergency surgery for an gastrointestinal blockage at MSUs Emergency Veterinary Hospital.  He had started to become lethargic, had nearly stopped eating, and was just not acting himself, so we decided to bring to Mt. Hope Vet Hospital to make sure everything was ok.  I called to make an appointment at 3:30 pm, and was able to get him in at 6:30pm that same day.On our initial visit, the veterinarian drew some blood and took an x-ray, and planned to let us know the results the next day.  The blood work and x-ray looked good, so they had us bring him back in drew some fluid from his abdomen.  They determined that there was probably a very small leak in his intestine from the previous surgery, and proceeded to operate to fix the problem.  The operation revealed complications which had resulted from the previous emergency surgery which the veterinarians proceeded to fix.  The operation also revealed a very severe infection of our kitten's abdominal cavity resulting from the slow intestinal leak (two of the doctors said it was the worst infection they had ever seen in a small animal).  The veterinarians took a very aggressive approach in combating infection, and they monitored his status continuously for six days.  We got back our kitten today, and he looked better than he had since before his original emergency surgery.Throughout the entire process, we received daily phone calls to update us on Milo's status, and we were never refused when we asked to come in to see him.  The doctors and staff seemed genuinely invested in the well being of our kitten, and seemed to pull out all of the stops when it came to his care.  We brought them a kitten that was critically ill, and got back a much improved kitten on the mend.  At the risk of gushing, I honestly believe that Milo received the best care possible, and that he wouldn't have made it in the hands of another vet.  I would highly recommend Mt. Hope Veterinary Hospital to anyone seeking a new vet. Read Less

We've had nothing but exceptional care for our two Siberian Huskies over the past 9 years that we've been visiting Dr. Sage and Dr. Berry. Both doctors clearly show their love for animals in their gentle, caring nature when working with our shy rescue dogs. As one reviewer noted, their office is not a brand new, shiny, corporate vet clinic. But what matters most is the care of your animals and I have no doubt that that my dogs will receive the best of care from Drs. Sage and Berry. Our experience with a franchise/corporate vet clinic prior to coming to Mt Hope was unpleasant, far more expensive and more invasive than our dog actually needed. I'll take a good doctor, reasonable prices and concern for my animal's well-being over sparkling buildings.I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any pet-owner in the Lansing area!

We took our pug here to get neutered and this place scared me a little.  First, they were sort of confrontational about the fact that our pug is blind in one eye.  They were asking all sorts of questions about how it happened (we don't know, we adopted him that way) and then talking about how it was probably some sort of breeding defect, blah blah, don't say mean things about our dog! Second, this place is kinda shack-like.  I felt like I was in a trailer and with all sorts of vets out there with huge beautiful facilities, I felt a little uneasy at this place.  It's been a few years so maybe they have a new facility now?  I wonder.Anyway, my gut told me that I didn't like this place and we opted for a different vet for future needs.

I've been taking my cats to Dr. Berry and team for over 10 years now. They are kind, compassionate and always there when you need them. Dr. Berry saved my FIV+ kitty when another vet told me there were no options but to put him down. He was only 2 years old. She nursed him back to health, showed me how to give him fluids at home, and he is now almost 12 and doing great! Dr. Berry and Dr. Sage are excellent veterinarians and all the people who work at Mt. Hope truly care for the animals as though they were their own. I wouldn't take my "kids" anywhere else! Read Less

I took our 2 rats there and they are wonderful. They are caring and compassionate, spend time listening to my concerns and addressed them really well. After our first visit we received a card signed by every staff member at the hospital welcoming us to the practice, which I found to be an extremely classy and rather unexpected thing. I took our rats in for a check up and they didn't even charge us because the visit went to quickly. The staff is always friendly and you can tell they truly care about their patients.Read Less

I went to grad school at MSU for two years and brought along my senior dog with me. Since, I've moved back to LA and have been to 3 vets. I keep wishing that I could take her to Mt. Hope. The level of care Dr. Berry and Dr. Sage gave her was top notch! They always took their time with her, were very thorough, and kept me informed with everything. They also respected my holistic viewpoints and helped me treat her as holistically as possible. While there, she also had cancer and the surgery they performed went flawlessly. She walked out of surgery like a champ! In addition to their superior level of care, they are very reasonably price (though I am comparing to what they charge in LA). All in all, there weren't very many things I liked about MI, but Mt. Hope Vet Hospital was one of them. We miss you guys!!!!! Read Less

My only complaint would be that this clinic may be a bit more pricey than some others in the area. Read Less

The vets at  Mt hope have taken care of numerous (3 dogs and up to 8 cats) pets over the past 16 years and I couldn't be happier.  I have a sibling who is an Internal Medicine Vet so I know what good care is and they provide it.  While the facility may be older it is always clean and well kept (you don't need a multimillion dollar facility to provide good care).  Staff is always busy caring for animals, so you may have to wait a few minutes but they have always been friendly and helpful.

My wife and I brought our 10-month-old kitten Milo to Mt. Hope Veterinary Hospital a couple of weeks after he had undergone emergency surgery for an gastrointestinal blockage at MSUs Emergency Veterinary Hospital.  He had started to become lethargic, had nearly stopped eating, and was just not acting himself, so we decided to bring to Mt. Hope Vet Hospital to make sure everything was ok.  I called to make an appointment at 3:30 pm, and was able to get him in at 6:30pm that same day.On our initial visit, the veterinarian drew some blood and took an x-ray, and planned to let us know the results the next day.  The blood work and x-ray looked good, so they had us bring him back in drew some fluid from his abdomen.  They determined that there was probably a very small leak in his intestine from the previous surgery, and proceeded to operate to fix the problem.  The operation revealed complications which had resulted from the previous emergency surgery which the veterinarians proceeded to fix.  The operation also revealed a very severe infection of our kitten's abdominal cavity resulting from the slow intestinal leak (two of the doctors said it was the worst infection they had ever seen in a small animal).  The veterinarians took a very aggressive approach in combating infection, and they monitored his status continuously for six days.  We got back our kitten today, and he looked better than he had since before his original emergency surgery.Throughout the entire process, we received daily phone calls to update us on Milo's status, and we were never refused when we asked to come in to see him.  The doctors and staff seemed genuinely invested in the well being of our kitten, and seemed to pull out all of the stops when it came to his care.  We brought them a kitten that was critically ill, and got back a much improved kitten on the mend.  At the risk of gushing, I honestly believe that Milo received the best care possible, and that he wouldn't have made it in the hands of another vet.  I would highly recommend Mt. Hope Veterinary Hospital to anyone seeking a new vet. Read Less

We've had nothing but exceptional care for our two Siberian Huskies over the past 9 years that we've been visiting Dr. Sage and Dr. Berry. Both doctors clearly show their love for animals in their gentle, caring nature when working with our shy rescue dogs. As one reviewer noted, their office is not a brand new, shiny, corporate vet clinic. But what matters most is the care of your animals and I have no doubt that that my dogs will receive the best of care from Drs. Sage and Berry. Our experience with a franchise/corporate vet clinic prior to coming to Mt Hope was unpleasant, far more expensive and more invasive than our dog actually needed. I'll take a good doctor, reasonable prices and concern for my animal's well-being over sparkling buildings.I would not hesitate to recommend their services to any pet-owner in the Lansing area!

We took our pug here to get neutered and this place scared me a little.  First, they were sort of confrontational about the fact that our pug is blind in one eye.  They were asking all sorts of questions about how it happened (we don't know, we adopted him that way) and then talking about how it was probably some sort of breeding defect, blah blah, don't say mean things about our dog! Second, this place is kinda shack-like.  I felt like I was in a trailer and with all sorts of vets out there with huge beautiful facilities, I felt a little uneasy at this place.  It's been a few years so maybe they have a new facility now?  I wonder.Anyway, my gut told me that I didn't like this place and we opted for a different vet for future needs.
