Bush Lake Pet Hospital

Eden Prairie, Minnesota
General Info
Bush Lake Pet Hospital in Eden Prairie delivers a pet care experience designed around recovery periods and appointment stages while considering the emotional impact each visit has on families throughout Minnesota. The initiation of intake procedures does not commence with document completion. Staff members monitor the animal's entry by noting any hesitation, circular movements, vocalizations, or weight anchoring at the doorway. The clinic observes these reactions to determine its operational tempo which involves either a slow approach quiet staging or quick triage based on stress levels. Physical evaluations examine balance ear tension skin warmth hydration fur texture oral response breath pattern and handling resistance. The medical dialogue depends on owner feedback which anchors diagnostics because sleeping positions seasonal behavior changes appetite shifts and recent avoidance patterns shape the discussion. Bush Lake Pet Hospital delivers an extensive array of services including wellness checks urgent care geriatric mapping weight stabilization plans and pain indexing. Services can be divided across multiple visits for pets that perform better in shorter bursts. Certain individuals might find advantage in extended staggered work periods that include interspersed break times. The design enables families to shield noise-sensitive, post-surgical, or previously fearful animals from retraumatization. After visiting healthcare providers, patients receive body-language manuals and emotional response charts to monitor their progress from home. Owners should modify their communication patterns along with their schedules and daily activities to support post-care decompression. Follow-ups are set based on behavioral readiness—not rigid timelines. Bush Lake Pet Hospital delivers a veterinary cadence to pet families in Eden Prairie and surrounding Minnesota areas that fosters both physical healing and emotional self-regulation while maintaining clinical accuracy.

Wonderful! Dr. Drager is a great Vet and his team are super! I don't ever worry about having to take my dogs to the Vet because the care provided is superior and affordable.

This was my first time at this clinic. I will not go back there again. I work in healthcare too. They didn’t even have thermometer probe cover. They stuck the thermometer probe in my dog’s butthole and then wiped it down with a paper towel and put it back. I wonder how many times the same probe has been used on other dogs without protection. My dog also received fluid therapy and judging from how they did with the thermometer probe, I doubt if the needle has been replaced before it was used on my dog. I did some more research and looks like the bag and the tubing can be reused but not the needle. This clinic needs to invest more resources in infection control. Also AfterVisitSummary would be wonderful for the pet owners so they can stay more educated and get some pointers on how to better care for their pets at home. Read Less

I went to Dr. Drager for many years with my Cats. He provided EXCELLENT care! I moved away from the neighborhood and have missed the care we received from Dr. Drager and his staff.

I was having a lot of difficulty finding a local veterinarian. There is a huge clinic near me that didn't want to go to because I have had issues there before. I then tried Wolff animal hospital and had a terrible experience there. I finally received a recommendation to try Bush Lake Pet Hospital and I am thrilled! My dog was limping progressively worse. He is very young and a very expensive dog. He was misdiagnosed at Wolff - and their solution not only made him worse, it could have permanently damaged him. After following the doctor's advice and giving his medicine, Darwin was happy and pain free within a week. I am so grateful. He has earned my trust. By the way, I believe his prices are very reasonable. He is a direct, honest person. If you need someone to talk all cutesy to your animal, or you need the ultra-modern slick office you will probably need to go elsewhere. But if you want honest and competent care - this is your place! Read Less

I'm new to the area and needed to find a vet quickly as one of my cats seemed to have gotten some kind of infection on his chin. Both of my cats needed shots, too, so at 10 AM on a Saturday morning, I called Bush Lake to see if I could get an appointment. The woman who answered the phone was very nice and I got an appointment at 11:45 AM the same day. He gave both cats a physical examination and shots, then took one look at my cat's infection and immediately diagnosed feline acne (who knew?). He cleaned my cat's chin with hydrogen peroxide and administered an oral antiobotic. I asked him to check the ears, too, since my cat has really been digging at them, so the doctor took a swab and ran a quick lab and found some kind of fungal infection. He then administered ear drops, all the while giving me instruction on how to repeat it at home. He also recommended that I switch from Iams to Science Diet for male cats because of the magnesium content (and it didn't feel like an up-sell, just advice). Another recommendation was to pick up some benzol hydroxide gel for the acne. The office is small, with only two exam rooms, and is located in a strip mall that is very easy to get to and a convenient location. The doctor was very gentle and had a good sense of humor. He was knowledgeable but not patronizing and he's very personable. The total bill for 2 exams, 4 shots, 2 prescriptions, and lab work was $250, which I thought was very reasonable. I am very happy to have found this place and would recommend it to everyone. Read Less
