I found this vet because we moved from Saint Louis Park to Shoreview this summer. I can't say enough good things about this vet!! We have been through our fair share of vet hospitals, typically waiting a ridiculous amount of time for visits or even just a simple pill pickup. Minnesota Veterinary respects your time, remembers who you are (even over the phone) and the care they put into their time with you is second to none. I will never go anywhere else in the Twin Cities! Read Less

Since the day we walked in with Bentley, we have loved every encounter. From the email reminders of when things are due to the professional and friendly staff that greets our dog by name every time we walk in the door. Granted, he only eats the treats at home, this place has been, by far, the easiest vet to work with and he loves watching the dogs play in the new play park out back. Thank you for the personalized welcome card and thank you for always treating us like family. It's a relief to know our dog will always be in good hands when it comes to the vet. Read Less

This morning I woke up to a very sick 17 year old female Cat. My Baby Sam. I called Minnesota Veterinarian Hospital knowing they are open until noon on Saturdays. Although I didnt have an appointment, I was able to bring in my Sammy girl for an evaluation. Dr. Katie made time in her schedule to see Sam and provide her with the utmost above-and-beyond care. Jeff the Hospital Administrator was so diligent in helping and guiding me through the process. Thank you so much to all of you for such great service. Read Less

The staff at MN Veterinary Hospital manage to pull of the difficult task of being completely professional while maintaining their compassion (and humor) and obvious dedication to their profession. Unlike some vet clinics, you never feel that you are being coerced into treatment your pet doesn't really need - the veterinarians are educators who will outline the pros and cons of all of your options in layman's terms, and they are matter-of-fact yet compassionate in the care and treatment they provide your pets and you. By that I mean that they are highly proficient at working with both animals and humans. I highly recommend the practitioners and all the staff at this gem of a vet clinic. Read Less

My dog, Luna, was in yesterday morning for a grooming which I paid for at the time. Then in yesterday afternoon's mail came a wonderful "welcome" letter from your clinic and a business card for Heart of Gold Grooming with "$10 off First Groom" handwritten in the upper left corner. Since it obviously is too late to use it for the first groom, may I use it next time? I appreciate this as I am on a fixed income and every dollar helps. I want to let you know how great it felt to receive the "welcome" letter. That's a first in my lifetime!!! And to let you know that I've been impressed with all three of my visits thus far to the clinic. I'm only sorry it took me so long to get out there. You know the saying "The devil is in the details" and I am impressed with details like staff seeming genuinely happy to have me walk through the front door; for taking the time to stand next to me and explain an estimate line by line; by coming around the counter to stand next to me even to have me sign the credit card receipt! Seemingly small things to some, but this manner, attitude, atmosphere seems to be reflected throughout your entire clinic -- and even if people don't articulate it, I know for a fact that they feel it and that should keep them coming through your door. Thank you for your attention to these kinds of details. Until next time,EleanorI just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your new groomer, Linda Ferradas. I brought Gracie, my mom’s dog, in to get groomed the other day. Since Gracie has arthritis and can’t stand the whole time it makes it difficult to groom her. Also, Gracie tends to get a bit anxious if she’s there too long, so I made sure to talk to Linda in advance to let her know about Gracie’s issues and she assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem to get her groomed. Linda did just an amazing job with her in less than half the normal amount of time. She looked great and she was also treated so well. Linda didn’t put Gracie up on the grooming table, instead she groomed her on a blanket on the floor to ensure Gracie’s comfort nor did she put her in a kennel when she was done, instead she sat with her until I got there so as not to put any undue stress on Gracie.I am so impressed with her I’ve told my family and friends about how great she did with her, also I’ve already made another appointment with her for my dog Sophie. Thanks for finding such an amazing groomer!Jessica Stowers Read Less
