I love Dr Barta! He has been all of my fur babies for very many years. The technicians are very knowledgeable & kind. Dr Barta does not take advantage of people worrying about their pets. He is very honest, kind & he seems to love all animals. I will continue to seek his expert opinions as long as I have a pet & am able to. Great place to take your pet.

This is by far the best veterinary care I have ever received. The staff is very informative, friendly and kind. Dr. Barta goes above and beyond taking the time with us and our bengals. He is one of the most compassionate caring vets you could ask for...we call him the pet whisperer. Our difficult Bengals took an instant liking to him and he has always managed to keep them calm with his kind gentle demeanor. We highly recommend Veterinary General for all you pet needs.

Veterinary General is the very best veterinary office for your pet. My dog Maddy has several issues such as IVDD and is partially paralyzed from when she was 4 years old, to severe allergies that’s she’s also had since birth to environmental allergens and food. I have been to top-notch specialty vet hospitals such as MSU, OVRS, and Dogwood in Ann Arbor and Veterinary General is the only place I would consider taking my dog for her regular veterinary care. The staff and doctors are amazing, they are extremely bright and caring, and they know what they’re doing. They also offer holistic modalities such as acupuncture and cold-laser therapy when appropriate. The office is immaculately clean, as clean as a human doctor’s office. The other great thing is you don’t have to sit and wait around when you have an appointment. They don’t overbook and they see your animal in a timely manner. This is important when you have a dog like mine that is paralyzed and needs to be held. I read on here someone saying the vet is weird like a serial killer. Are you serious? He’s one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet! If you call getting on the floor and talking to a dog weird, well, I guess you just don’t see things the way most of us do. I see it as getting to know your animal on their level and making them feel comfortable with them when they are scared. Don’t let that comment scare you off. He’s the most normal guy around. I have lost pets in the past and sometimes it’s easy to try to blame the vet because of your loss. For that I feel very sorry for you. However, I can’t recommend this office enough. If you want the best care, bring your animal here.

We are so thankful we were referred to Veterinary General. The hours make visits so much more convenient however what really makes this office so great is the staff. From the moment they answer the phone, they are helpful, kind and efficient. They take the time to make sure all questions are answered and don’t make you feel rushed. My dogs are like children to me and I wouldn’t trust their care to anyone but the best.

We had to put our golden retriever down today and I can't express how wonderful the entire staff was at the Veterinary General. They treated us as if we were long time patient's and it was our first time at the Veterinary General. I just happened to call them on Sunday because they were one of the only Dr. Offices to call there kindness just in the phone conversation and they would have squeezed us in because of the circumstance ment so much to us.

Dr Barta has been my two cats’ vet for about 4 years. I took my cat for weekly acupuncture for just about a year. I got to know the staff very well! Everyone is so kind, compassionate and extremely helpful. My cat would jump in his carrier to go to the vet every week. (If you know cats..this is huge). If I could give Veterinary General 10 stars I would! This is the place to take your furry family member.

they are very thorough and caring at this vet. i was reading the review about a nail trimming for a cat being 150$, for my kitty it's 12$ or something, probably because she doesn't require sedation. People might read that review and think in order to have their cats nails trimmed they sedate them. I think as long as your cat is relatively calm your cat won't need to be sedated and it wont be 150$. they always give every option that there is for your pet's health, and you might not decide to take all the options but at least you were educated about everything you can do to take care of your pet. And sometimes it's better to be safe then sorry.

We went here with an emergency with our cat. They they sent us to an emergency clinic in Rochester because the vet tech could not determine the issue. The veterinarian was not even available. The Rochester veterinarian gave us a less than 50% chance of recovery after a 4K+ surgery and after the money we paid for the tests here. Second time, brought our dog there with a mass on her abdomen. Vet was not comfortable working on it. We had to go to Animal Hospital of Chesterfield to actually perform the surgery. Long and short of it, if you have the most basic shot or annual treatment that needs to be performed, go here. If your animal needs something more in depth, go elsewhere. Don't waste your money here just to get sent elsewhere to a veterinarian that can actually do the surgery.

Today was our first time at the clinic. They were very understanding and helpful during a really hard time in our lives, dealing with a loss of our puppy.

Great staff and clean environment too!

Veterinary General has two very caring veterinarians, Dr. Barta and Dr. Lisa. The staff is always friendly, One of the things I like about this practice is that I never sit waiting and waiting in a room full of dogs. This is great if you have a dog that is reactive like mine. They are ready for you when you arrive and you are immediately welcomed and put in an exam room. You even pay for the visit in the exam room which is so much easier than trying to control your pet and pay at a counter. I highly recommend Veterinary General not only for the great care my pets, 3 dogs and a cat receive, but for the ease of the appointment too.

General Info
Veterinary General is distinguished for its reliable and comprehensive veterinary services designed to meet the needs of pet owners. The Veterinary General in Shelby Township offers support to Michigan pet owners by providing guidance that fits within their household routine and their animals’ behavioral patterns while focusing on the long-term health shifts. The initial consultations aim to create a relaxing atmosphere where the pet will be given time to explore services and express its feeling without hurry. The veterinary team observes certain parameters before starting the examination, such as eye and tail movements, changes in gait and posture. Physical checkups include joint tracking, hydration analysis, weight monitoring, gum tone, coat texture, and thermal regulation patterns. Owners keep track of the morning routine and sleep cycles or vocal tendencies, noting any recent deviations in the animal’s behavior. Veterinary General offers an extensive array of treatment plans tailored to various needs, including acute issues, surgical procedures, seasonal and chronic care. Support encompasses lab and imaging referrals, infection control for senior animals, and recovery checklists. The plans’ organization and timeline are deliberate to ensure that owners remain informed but not overwhelmed, especially in multifaceted situations (such as multiple pets or medical conditions). The essence of communication remains pivotal. Notes are sent after every visit, while follow-ups depend on the pet’s adjustment progress and not fixed calendar reminders. Programs also educate owners to notice even minor signs of regression or “progress” in the puppy’s development. The elements of pacing, choice-based scheduling, and reassurance strategies define long-term care. Veterinary General ensures that the services offered by veterinarians in Shelby Township, Michigan, and the surrounding areas rely on animal behavior and family input to create a plan to implement from start to finish. The practice provides a wide range of services, including prescription medication, dentistry, diagnostics, oncology, and vaccinations. These services help pets maintain healthy lives through various stages, from routine check-ups to advanced medical care. Pet owners value the team’s expertise, the way they communicate with empathy, and how well the clinic can explain medical choices. Whether your senior pet needs extra attention or your sick pet requires urgent care, the staff strives for consistency and long-lasting relationships. It also provides an opportunity to educate owners on various aspects of animal health and prevention strategies. The veterinary general will have better pet ownership which will act as a foundation of the entire community.
