The vet doesn't wear a mask. She lets people come in with their pets to the tiny exam room and she is in there without a mask on! During a respiratory virus pandemic!! In violation of state health regulations. Medical workers spend all day wearing 2 sometimes 3 masks working Covid units in hospitals. No excuse. They should at least warn customers that she refuses to follow the law and common sense and wear a mask around people / clients / pets / her employees. Read Less

I would leave 0 stars if I could. My dog would probably be dead right now if we would have listened to them. My mom brought our 10-year-old Bichon Frise to them in May, presenting with lethargy, polyuria and polydipsia. They had no sense of urgency, and sent him home after drawing blood and taking his vitals (I understand that blood work takes a day or so to get back, but they did not seem concerned when we told him about the extremely rapid onset of symptoms. By that same night, my dog could hardly walk and we had to take him to the emergency vet, where he was diagnosed with kidney disease, a UTI, and pancreatitis. The emergency vet sent him back to Luv n Care the next day, where they were supposed to treat him and help him recover. After about 3 or 4 days of IV fluids, they resolved that he had kidney disease, and there was nothing anyone could do about it (they said that he was between stages 2 and 3 of the 4 stages). We were devastated, but also confused, because his symptoms didn't quite align with that diagnosis, and we had a hard time believing that he went from being perfectly fine one day, to essentially a death sentence less than a week later. Long story short, we sought a second opinion (Blue Pearl), where our dog began receiving medication and sub-Q fluids. The second vet ran a battery of tests, including blood work, stool samples, and imaging, to rule out several disease and get to the bottom of his illness. Now, 6 weeks later, our dog is 100% better, his levels are back to normal and he definitely does not have kidney disease as Luv N Care suggested. I totally understand that doctors don't have all of the answers--I don't expect them to be geniuses or perfect, but I do expect them to admit their lack of expertise in when it comes to certain conditions, and refer us to a physician who is an expert. I also expect them to generally be on the same page as one another when giving us diagnoses and next steps. When dealing with Luv n Care, we spoke to a different employee almost every time (ranging from the vet, to the vet tech, and even the front desk personnel), and they had a different plan of action every time. They could not even conclusively tell us what was in the IV fluids that they were giving my dog. One person said that it was just saline, another person said that it had electrolytes, another person said that it had "nutrients" in it (whatever that means)--they constantly contradicted one another and subsequently confused us. It was not cohesive care, nor was it sufficient. Their communication was horrible, their diagnosis was inaccurate, and they literally did nothing to help my dog. They settled on the fact that he had kidney disease and washed their hands of the matter. I can only imagine how many pet owners just take their word for it, and give up on trying to help their pet get better. I would hate to think that Luv n Care has done this to other families, but I am certain that this isn't the first time that they've screwed up like this. If your animal is seriously ill, don't bring it to Luv n Care. They aren't equipped to handle it, but they also won't tell you that. They'll just settle on some diagnosis and proceed as if it's accurate. Read Less

Very thorough, communicative, caring doctors and staff. They care about the animals and it shows. The prices weren't too high either, especially compared to other animal hospitals.

I don't know where to start with how amazing these people are. After hearing the news that our family chocolate lab was suffering from a cancerous tumor in his left front paw, we only had a couple options. We called around to just about every animal hospital in the Detroit area as well as many within the state of Michigan in search of someone willing to amputate on a shorter notice. The only places that were available to operate on this short notice were charging over $2500 not including post operation costs. We were able to make an appointment the next day with Dr. Cozy to see what she could offer. She was very honest and sincere when examining our dog and she decided that she would do the surgury. When discussing times and finances I was astonished at what she did. She said that she did not want us to be stressing even more about the situation and that it was a necessity that she takes her time. Instead of doing the surgury during normal business hours, she operated after the practice was closed for the night(after 8pm). When it came down to costs, she charged us less than half of what it would have been anywhere else. Saving money is one thing, having such a kind and caring person taking care of your dog is another. Thanks Luv N Care! Read Less

I take both my dogs here and couldn’t be happier. I had my dog spayed at luv n care and was very happy with the service, price, and quality of work. I recently took my other dog to get both of his knees operated on for luxating patella. They took great care of him and did a fantastic job. He was walking in less than a week. Dr. Sefari is a fantastic vet who is honest, caring, and trustworthy. They have great prices too. Read Less
