Our cats get easily stressed, and going to the vet is horrible for everyone. Dr. Sue is really careful and good with them, and knows their specific temperaments. I love that she always tries natural remedies before recommending prescriptions. Also, they are good about returning calls, and answering questions. They really care and show it in the time they are willing to spend with each cat and owner. Read Less

Absolutely top-notch. Dr. Sue was gentle and patient in handling my girl. Her exam was thorough and the findings were explained to me in excellent detail. I am happy to have found her, and feel that I have a partner in caring for my cat's condition. The exam room was very cat friendly, and the essential oil used on my cat at the beginning of her visit really did the trick at putting her at ease. Read Less

I took my cats to Dr. Sue when I lived in St. Paul, and since moving 500 miles out-of-state 15 years ago, I regularly do phone consultations with her which are always informative and extremely helpful regarding home treatments, diet, and the medications and tinctures she sends me. I am actually driving 1,000 miles round-trip this week to her clinic with my 17 year old cat for a thorough check-up. She and Sandy are the best in their profession! Read Less

Dr. Sue and Sandy are great at what they do. My cats have been under their care for a while and even though it's a drive to get there, it's more than worth it. I know my fur babies are in good hands.Read Less

Dr. Sue and Sandy have been caring for my cats for the last 10 years. Even though I now live 30 minutes away from their clinic, it is well worth the drive to get the exquisite care and informative visits and they are both great with people, too. I love the fact they know so much about homeopathy and Eastern and Western practices to help the cats. All of my cats have had the best care at the Cat Care Clinic and I highly recommend them to anyone with a feline.Read Less

The doctor missed clear and crucial signs for my cat with high blood pressure. This lead to his blindness. Two other vets said we could have saved his sight if we would have just known....but Dr.Sue failed to see these for the years we saw her. She blamed every ailment on their food....which we changed numerous times on her request with no improvements to the cat's health. Overall highly advise going elsewhere. Read Less

This is my first time writing a review for a business, and I feel that this place deserves it. Their charges are the same as any other vet, but the knowledge of felines that Dr. Sue Swanson has is worth more then double that of any other vet that my two cats have ever been to. She was the first vet to identify that my cat needs to start on dental care, as well as discuss some of the long-term issues that my cat will experience due to his breed and the problems he's already had in his two years of life. This wasn't even the best part of the overall experience though. I took my cat here because over the previous month he had gone to two other vets, both times for emergency care due to a blocked uthera. The other vets put him on some very powerful drugs and he even had to spend some time at one hospital while they unblocked him. Their long-term care was to basically change his diet to a diet that isn't all that nutritional for cats, and just hope that it doesn't keep happening again. This is a condition that when it happens, a male cat has 12 - 72 hours to live before their bladder bursts and requires emergency treatment of thousands of dollars. Well I noticed that my cat Buddy started to have smaller sized urine spots in his litter box again, which is a sign that he's partially blocked and will likely reblock totally again. I called the Cat Care Clinic and they had an appointment set for me to bring him in, almost as fast as I could drive there. Dr. Sue and myself discussed his issue, she was inquisitive about his past medical issues, and used her knowledge of western/eastern medicine to give me a very assuring "he will be fine". She prescribed a tincture she made in-house to put behind his ears a couple of times a day, and it's working! It's working so well, that these words can't even begin to describe my joy. I am very thankful for Sue's knowledge and she will be the primary vet for both of my feline family members until they finally pass in another 10 - 15 years. Read Less

Absolutely excellent. Really super. Our beloved cat was in her last stages, and Dr. Sue did everything to make her more comfortable. Takes a holistic approach, goes beyond Western medicine, makes house calls. Highly recommended for the dedicated cat owner. Read Less

Earlier in 2011, I discovered the caring and compassionate services of Dr. Sue Swanson. Unfortunately, this was at a very sad time learning my cat of nearly 13 years was diagnosed with cancer. In an effort to seek out any possible assistance (a cure), I contacted her office and received a call back from Sandy the same day. An in-home appointment was scheduled as soon as possible, while balancing surgery at the University of MN. When it came time for my home visit, it was no longer for care, but instead allowing my companion to cross peacefully to Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Swanson and Sandy arrived at my home, being kind not to ring my door buzzer, but instead call my cell phone on arrival. Dr. Sue (as she is known) and I sat on the floor and talked to each other and to my cat. She provided assurance, kindness, compassion and care. While one could never wish this for a first visit and experience, it made a most difficult time caring and full of love. With compassion and grace, in-home euthanasia was performed. A friend who stayed with me referred to this experience as 'dignified and courageous". Following this first-time appointment, I have since returned to Dr. Sue's office with my other cat (also the sibling who lost his sister). Her office is for 'cats only' making the experience that much more peaceful for you and your kitty. Dr Sue spends ample time with you and your cat talking about wellness, and natural remedies and nutrition. My experience can best be summed up by a far-away friend of the family who upon reading about Dr. Sue told me to "Run, don't walk" to her office. And my advice to every cat owner is to visit Dr Sue this week and explore the wealth of information about Holistic Care and healthy nutrition for your beloved cat. Read Less
