I have been taking my 3 dogs to this Vet for 12 years. As of last year 2020 I took my eldest pet Lexi into the vet as she was coughing, they examined her and stated that she had a heart murmur and that right now it wasn't anything to worry about but it would get worse and when the symptoms show to bring her back in. The end of March 2021 I called the vet as her cough has worsen, they brought her in and then stated she did NOT have a heart murmur and didn't know why she was coughing prescribed a steroid and antibiotic, only to have my 12 year old dog, 1 week later started to severely vomit. I called the vet to have her come in to be looked at (as she was just there last week) and to have the girls at the front desk tell me they don't have time for a emergency and that they are all booked up with still 2 hours in the work day left. I had to bring my dog to the emergency vet that night to be treated. The ER vet asked me if i knew she had a heart murmur, I repeated that i was just told last week that she did not have a heart murmur according to my normal vet. They proceeded to treat my dog and when she was released, advised that I needed to bring her back the next day to my vet to have her examined. So when I called the vet the next day, they immediately went to surgery without even having her file faxed over from the ER vet. Which means they didn't review anything nor my dog, I had to request that they get the X-rays from the ER vet so that the vet could review the X-rays before jumping to conclusion. After the vet finally got the X-ray they still proceeded to tell me that they could not do anything for her and its a waiting game, and if she makes it to Monday, to call them back. My dog is still sick, even worse at this point and I am extremely disappointed in them and upset at this time. I have taken all 3 of my dogs out of that vet and when to a different vet.
Please beware that if you have a emergency situation or even need the dog to be seen afterword's don't expect them to give you the highest compassion that we all expect for our pets at their time of need.

My shih-tzu was 10 yrs old. My husband and I should have had more years with Abby. Transit animal cared for Abby since she was 8 weeks old. Well around the week of May 26th I brought her in because she was drinking and peeing a lot. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with diabetes.Dr. Geoff told me if I didn’t give Abby insulin she would 6 months and if I did she would have years so I did give it to her. 2 days later my husband and I had to rush Abby to a emergency vet. Abby would stand and fall the morning of June 1st. She was panting and couldn’t breath we ran her to the emergency vet and to say the least we had to put Abby to sleep. She was critical at that point. They ask us if we were ever told she had a heart murmur. Transit animal never ever told us she did. And by the way they saw her 2 weeks or less before she passed. Well our Abby had congestive heart failure. And we were told she had a strong heart and her lungs were clear. Well they miss diagnosed her heart issue. And now our baby is gone as of June 1st. We miss her more than anything possible. I still cry everyday cause I’m heart broken. In end I would never take another animal to that place even tho right now we don’t plan on it cause of the hurt. So think about it before u go there your animal May end up where Abby is now in a wooden box 😢

I felt the reviews here were unfair so I decided to leave one. My dogs been going here for probably 2 maybe 3 years now. It's hard to rate a vet LOCATION per se, and a lot easier to rate the actual vets. I have to leave 5 stars because I've had terrible, terrible vets in my dog's 8 year life and none of them were at transit animal hospital.I first came here when my dog was very sick. Dr. Reed took the time to explain to me each symptom he recognized and possible diagnoses he was going to test for. It ended up being Lyme disease which came back in the blood work VERY quickly. Dr. Reed went over every single thing in his blood work and test results to explain my dog was actually very healthy despite the Lyme disease. He's gone back several times since. Check ups. New medications for arthritis. Bloat surgery check up. Stitches for a cut. I've never waited more than 15 minutes. I do HAVE to say, a vet tech didn't explain to me my dog's cut would still be fleshy and a little bloody after staples were removed and it really freaked me out. One other vet was a little inattentive. That being said, I'll only be asking for Dr. Reed in the future.

Have brought my puppy Long haired shepherd here twice and the stafff is AWESOME! Very attentive to our lil girl and very welcoming to her. The 2 vets i dealt with were very knowledgeable and I can tell they were dog lovers and owners themselves. Prices on certain things weren't the best; but the feeling of being welcomed and treating my Dog well was a plus. Overall a great veterinarian office for anyone.

Horrible care, stay away. Your pet is just a number to them. Insensitive and no concern for your pet. Many vets in the area, choose another. Brought my dog there for a routine visit and she started to have a seizure. All the staff freaked out. It was early in the morning and the nurse told me the doctors were not in yet. The nurse gave my dog valium to try and bring her out of the seizure and gave her too much. They almost KILLED her. The nurse admitted she did not know what she was doing. My dog was in a bad way for many many hours. No one ever apologized or checked up on my dog when we got home. Just beware this nurse still works there. People who work with pets are supposed to care and do everything in their power to help them, not this place.

A stray cat was hanging around my house for over a month. I took the cat to Transit Animal Hospital to find out if the she had a microchip. They told me there was no chip. So I took the cat in, bought food, dishes, flea medicine, a scratching post, a carrier and some toys. I then made an appointment at another vet to get shots and see if she had been spayed. In checking her, they found she does have a chip. I purposely checked for a chip before I spent all this money on her.
If Transit Animal Hospital can't locate a chip on a cat, I don't trust them to do anything else.

This was back in early 2014. A simple tooth cleaning nearly killed my year and a half old cat. He was apparently not properly looked after while he was under anesthesia, he became non responsive, and his body temperature dropped. For hours he was kept under a heat lamp and blankets, but was still not hooked up to a blood pressure machine.Come closing time, they told us there would be no one left to keep an eye on him. It was either leave him there alone, bring him home in his non responsive state, or quickly rush him to the 24 hour vet clinic in the middle of a blizzard. We brought him there and they said he could possibly have brain damage due to improper heart rate monitoring during the surgery. Luckily, he slowly woke up the next morning, nearly 24 hours later.This only occurred because one of my cats had plaque and tartar that was aggravating his gums. We were informed the only way to take care of his inflamed gums was to sedate him for a cleaning and possible extraction. I found out that was a lie. One of my other pets had the same problem not long after, and after a bit of research we found dental wipes and fluid which could be used to clean their teeth and remove plaque and tartar. And you know what? His gums cleared up after using those. No surgery was needed, even though that was the only solution according to one of their vets.In the end he was fine, but it cost us over $1700, and more than $500 of that was for the night he had to stay in the emergency clinic because they had no way to take care of him. After bringing several of our animals to this vet for over a year, they took no responsibility and never even bothered to call to see if he ever was alright. I will never set foot in this vet again. The only apology they even offered was that they were sorry I was upset. So if anything goes wrong when you take your pet to this vet, come closing time, they don't care anymore. After that it's your responsibility to find them the help they need.

I have owned many pets in my lifetime and seen many vets over those years. I began taking my 2 dogs and one cat to TAH about four years ago. I have always received the best care and been extremely happy with my experiences there, up to and including a surgery my one dog needed. They always take time to make sure all my questions were answered and time to calm my pets before examines. I never feel "rushed".
I had the unfortunate event this past weekend of having to put my 12 year old dog down. I cannot even begin to say how outstanding this facility was in a very difficult time for our family. They did everything to make this easier on me as possible. All of the staff, from the one who answered my original phone call to the one who greeted me when i came in to the ones who assisted me transporting my dog from my car to a private room to the vet who performed the procedure were simply amazing. Everyone showed genuine concern and sorrow for what we were going through. I could see their office was extremely busy, but they made me feel like I was the only patient there. This has got to be the worst part of their job, but after I saw how professional and compassionate they were during this time, I must say they have a permanent client and advocate in me. Highly recommend Transit Animal Hospital.

I brought my best friend, other half, spirit animal, and most of all, my guardian angel, BLK here. It's hard to put into words what she meant to me, because I never knew such connections between beings was possible, especially between a human and a cat. She was a stray that hopped into my car one day (I wasn't even particularly fond of cats) and she just clawed her way into my soul. Although she had a diagnosis that was more than earth shattering (feline leukemia) everyone here understood this bond we had and never made me feel alone through this transition. From the doctor answering all of my questions, and the staff going above and beyond with giving me not only her paw print and ashes in a beautiful wooden box, they also gave me a stone with her name painted on it, and a card that they all wrote a note in (that I didn't even find until later). It's always a relieving feeling that the people caring for your fur babies care about them as much as you do. I won't go anywhere else. Thank you everyone.

Took my pet (dog) as a walk in, everyone says professional and treated us with kindness, respect and concern as if my dog was theirs. Knowing that I was working on a limited budget but wanted the best I could do, they gave me treatment options and estimated costs. Afterwards the Vet called a few days later, after hours even to check up on things... Professionalism at its best!

Unfortunately I didn't this third/ fourth trip to the vet same issue for my pet Maybelle. .. I had her to be seen at least three times for stiffness and on/off gimpness her hindquarters. I understand they can't really diagnose anything without x-rays. well I finally spend an exuberant amount of money on x-rays to determine if it was arthritis or knee problem. Most likely it looks like arthritis with a kee bone spur, yet they sent me home with pills to take for a week. obviously this is an on and off problem that comes and goes I can't afford $56 visit just to walk through the door to get a $20 or $30 prescription everytime this happens. They don't want you to self medicate the dog with aspirin if you don't know the dose or the harm it could cause but that looks like the route I'll be to the pet store... since I can't get long term help from my vet this ridiculous. My 4-star drop the one on this note

We had 12 wonderful years with our dog Mitch. We came to Transit Animal Hospital for 10 of them. On May 2nd we brought him in because Mitch just couldn't control his functions. Never did I think I was not brining him home. Dr. Gill and her associates were so kind and caring and gave us all the time we needed to make that hard decision and say goodbye to our best friend. Today we picked up Mitches cremains and they gave us a beautiful paw print impression and painted a rock for us to place in their memory garden. All the feelings came rushing back. Thank you to all the associates of Transit Animal Hospital for everything. These final touches were so sweet. I know he's up there playing and smiling!

Dr Gill is an amazing vet. Both Dr. Reed and Dr. Jeff are smart, dedicated, and compassionate. I love the staff from the techs to the front desk staff. The facility is older but clean....my focus is on the quality of care, the tools available to treat my dogs, the kindness of staff, and lastly, they are not in for the money like some clinics especially in the suburbs. I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Gill for the last 7 years after my favorite vet left the area (Harris Hill Animal Hospital). I have never been disappointed in the quality of care for my aging dogs. They are special needs dogs with lots of issues. Dr. Gill has never missed a beat in figuring out how to treat or what the issues were for my girls. If she needed to refer out to a specialist, I always got the best referral at the right time in treatment. I would not ever consider taking my pets anywhere else...highly qualified service from good people.Special shout out to Dr. Jeff for going above and beyond as well with Cleo (my 16 year old Maltese). Again, Transit Animal Hospital is the best vet care especially if you have animals with health issues or are older.

I have been taking my 3 dogs to this Vet for 12 years. As of last year 2020 I took my eldest pet Lexi into the vet as she was coughing, they examined her and stated that she had a heart murmur and that right now it wasn't anything to worry about but it would get worse and when the symptoms show to bring her back in. The end of March 2021 I called the vet as her cough has worsen, they brought her in and then stated she did NOT have a heart murmur and didn't know why she was coughing prescribed a steroid and antibiotic, only to have my 12 year old dog, 1 week later started to severely vomit. I called the vet to have her come in to be looked at (as she was just there last week) and to have the girls at the front desk tell me they don't have time for a emergency and that they are all booked up with still 2 hours in the work day left. I had to bring my dog to the emergency vet that night to be treated. The ER vet asked me if i knew she had a heart murmur, I repeated that i was just told last week that she did not have a heart murmur according to my normal vet. They proceeded to treat my dog and when she was released, advised that I needed to bring her back the next day to my vet to have her examined. So when I called the vet the next day, they immediately went to surgery without even having her file faxed over from the ER vet. Which means they didn't review anything nor my dog, I had to request that they get the X-rays from the ER vet so that the vet could review the X-rays before jumping to conclusion. After the vet finally got the X-ray they still proceeded to tell me that they could not do anything for her and its a waiting game, and if she makes it to Monday, to call them back. My dog is still sick, even worse at this point and I am extremely disappointed in them and upset at this time. I have taken all 3 of my dogs out of that vet and when to a different vet.
Please beware that if you have a emergency situation or even need the dog to be seen afterword's don't expect them to give you the highest compassion that we all expect for our pets at their time of need.

My shih-tzu was 10 yrs old. My husband and I should have had more years with Abby. Transit animal cared for Abby since she was 8 weeks old. Well around the week of May 26th I brought her in because she was drinking and peeing a lot. Unfortunately she was diagnosed with diabetes.Dr. Geoff told me if I didn’t give Abby insulin she would 6 months and if I did she would have years so I did give it to her. 2 days later my husband and I had to rush Abby to a emergency vet. Abby would stand and fall the morning of June 1st. She was panting and couldn’t breath we ran her to the emergency vet and to say the least we had to put Abby to sleep. She was critical at that point. They ask us if we were ever told she had a heart murmur. Transit animal never ever told us she did. And by the way they saw her 2 weeks or less before she passed. Well our Abby had congestive heart failure. And we were told she had a strong heart and her lungs were clear. Well they miss diagnosed her heart issue. And now our baby is gone as of June 1st. We miss her more than anything possible. I still cry everyday cause I’m heart broken. In end I would never take another animal to that place even tho right now we don’t plan on it cause of the hurt. So think about it before u go there your animal May end up where Abby is now in a wooden box 😢

It's hard to rate a vet LOCATION per se, and a lot easier to rate the actual vets. I have to leave 5 stars because I've had terrible, terrible vets in my dog's 8 year life and none of them were at transit animal hospital.I first came here when my dog was very sick. Dr. Reed took the time to explain to me each symptom he recognized and possible diagnoses he was going to test for. It ended up being Lyme disease which came back in the blood work VERY quickly. Dr. Reed went over every single thing in his blood work and test results to explain my dog was actually very healthy despite the Lyme disease. He's gone back several times since. Check ups. New medications for arthritis. Bloat surgery check up. Stitches for a cut. I've never waited more than 15 minutes. I do HAVE to say, a vet tech didn't explain to me my dog's cut would still be fleshy and a little bloody after staples were removed and it really freaked me out. One other vet was a little inattentive. That being said, I'll only be asking for Dr. Reed in the future.

Have brought my puppy Long haired shepherd here twice and the stafff is AWESOME! Very attentive to our lil girl and very welcoming to her. The 2 vets i dealt with were very knowledgeable and I can tell they were dog lovers and owners themselves. Prices on certain things weren't the best; but the feeling of being welcomed and treating my Dog well was a plus. Overall a great veterinarian office for anyone.

Horrible care, stay away. Your pet is just a number to them. Insensitive and no concern for your pet. Many vets in the area, choose another. Brought my dog there for a routine visit and she started to have a seizure. All the staff freaked out. It was early in the morning and the nurse told me the doctors were not in yet. The nurse gave my dog valium to try and bring her out of the seizure and gave her too much. They almost KILLED her. The nurse admitted she did not know what she was doing. My dog was in a bad way for many many hours. No one ever apologized or checked up on my dog when we got home. Just beware this nurse still works there. People who work with pets are supposed to care and do everything in their power to help them, not this place.

A stray cat was hanging around my house for over a month. I took the cat to Transit Animal Hospital to find out if the she had a microchip. They told me there was no chip. So I took the cat in, bought food, dishes, flea medicine, a scratching post, a carrier and some toys. I then made an appointment at another vet to get shots and see if she had been spayed. In checking her, they found she does have a chip. I purposely checked for a chip before I spent all this money on her.
If Transit Animal Hospital can't locate a chip on a cat, I don't trust them to do anything else.

This was back in early 2014. A simple tooth cleaning nearly killed my year and a half old cat. He was apparently not properly looked after while he was under anesthesia, he became non responsive, and his body temperature dropped. For hours he was kept under a heat lamp and blankets, but was still not hooked up to a blood pressure machine.Come closing time, they told us there would be no one left to keep an eye on him. It was either leave him there alone, bring him home in his non responsive state, or quickly rush him to the 24 hour vet clinic in the middle of a blizzard. We brought him there and they said he could possibly have brain damage due to improper heart rate monitoring during the surgery. Luckily, he slowly woke up the next morning, nearly 24 hours later.This only occurred because one of my cats had plaque and tartar that was aggravating his gums. We were informed the only way to take care of his inflamed gums was to sedate him for a cleaning and possible extraction. I found out that was a lie. One of my other pets had the same problem not long after, and after a bit of research we found dental wipes and fluid which could be used to clean their teeth and remove plaque and tartar. And you know what? His gums cleared up after using those. No surgery was needed, even though that was the only solution according to one of their vets.In the end he was fine, but it cost us over $1700, and more than $500 of that was for the night he had to stay in the emergency clinic because they had no way to take care of him. After bringing several of our animals to this vet for over a year, they took no responsibility and never even bothered to call to see if he ever was alright. I will never set foot in this vet again. The only apology they even offered was that they were sorry I was upset. So if anything goes wrong when you take your pet to this vet, come closing time, they don't care anymore. After that it's your responsibility to find them the help they need.

I have taken my animals (2 dogs and 2 cats) to Transit Animal Hospital for almost 3 years now, but every time I bring them in I wait almost an hour before even getting into an exam room despite having an appointment! The staff is professional and care for the animals well, but if I make an appointment I expect to be seen in a reasonable amount of time.

I have owned many pets in my lifetime and seen many vets over those years. I began taking my 2 dogs and one cat to TAH about four years ago. I have always received the best care and been extremely happy with my experiences there, up to and including a surgery my one dog needed. They always take time to make sure all my questions were answered and time to calm my pets before examines. I never feel "rushed".
I had the unfortunate event this past weekend of having to put my 12 year old dog down. I cannot even begin to say how outstanding this facility was in a very difficult time for our family. They did everything to make this easier on me as possible. All of the staff, from the one who answered my original phone call to the one who greeted me when i came in to the ones who assisted me transporting my dog from my car to a private room to the vet who performed the procedure were simply amazing. Everyone showed genuine concern and sorrow for what we were going through. I could see their office was extremely busy, but they made me feel like I was the only patient there. This has got to be the worst part of their job, but after I saw how professional and compassionate they were during this time, I must say they have a permanent client and advocate in me. Highly recommend Transit Animal Hospital.

I brought my best friend, other half, spirit animal, and most of all, my guardian angel, BLK here. It's hard to put into words what she meant to me, because I never knew such connections between beings was possible, especially between a human and a cat. She was a stray that hopped into my car one day (I wasn't even particularly fond of cats) and she just clawed her way into my soul. Although she had a diagnosis that was more than earth shattering (feline leukemia) everyone here understood this bond we had and never made me feel alone through this transition. From the doctor answering all of my questions, and the staff going above and beyond with giving me not only her paw print and ashes in a beautiful wooden box, they also gave me a stone with her name painted on it, and a card that they all wrote a note in (that I didn't even find until later). It's always a relieving feeling that the people caring for your fur babies care about them as much as you do. I won't go anywhere else. Thank you everyone.

Took my pet (dog) as a walk in, everyone says professional and treated us with kindness, respect and concern as if my dog was theirs. Knowing that I was working on a limited budget but wanted the best I could do, they gave me treatment options and estimated costs. Afterwards the Vet called a few days later, after hours even to check up on things... Professionalism at its best!

I had the pleasure of bringing my dog Zues here for 10+ years before I had to put him down in October. They are the absolute best. Dr Gill and her wonderful staff made one of the hardest days of my life, very comforting. Also making me a cast of his paw print and a painted rock for the rock garden out front. When I'm ready for my next dog, I will be bringing it here.

Unfortunately I didn't this third/ fourth trip to the vet same issue for my pet Maybelle. .. I had her to be seen at least three times for stiffness and on/off gimpness her hindquarters. I understand they can't really diagnose anything without x-rays. well I finally spend an exuberant amount of money on x-rays to determine if it was arthritis or knee problem. Most likely it looks like arthritis with a kee bone spur, yet they sent me home with pills to take for a week. obviously this is an on and off problem that comes and goes I can't afford $56 visit just to walk through the door to get a $20 or $30 prescription everytime this happens. They don't want you to self medicate the dog with aspirin if you don't know the dose or the harm it could cause but that looks like the route I'll be to the pet store... since I can't get long term help from my vet this ridiculous. My 4-star drop the one on this note

We had 12 wonderful years with our dog Mitch. We came to Transit Animal Hospital for 10 of them. On May 2nd we brought him in because Mitch just couldn't control his functions. Never did I think I was not brining him home. Dr. Gill and her associates were so kind and caring and gave us all the time we needed to make that hard decision and say goodbye to our best friend. Today we picked up Mitches cremains and they gave us a beautiful paw print impression and painted a rock for us to place in their memory garden. All the feelings came rushing back. Thank you to all the associates of Transit Animal Hospital for everything. These final touches were so sweet. I know he's up there playing and smiling!

I have always taken my animals/pets to this vet and trust them completely. My animals/pets are well cared for and I trust their suggestions. I also have boarded my dogs there as well. I don't worry at all! They email you pictures and updates regarding your pet while you are away which is comforting. They truly like what they do and your pets. My dog loves to go there! That speaks for itself! They come highly recommended from me!!

Dr Gill is an amazing vet. Both Dr. Reed and Dr. Jeff are smart, dedicated, and compassionate. I love the staff from the techs to the front desk staff. The facility is older but clean....my focus is on the quality of care, the tools available to treat my dogs, the kindness of staff, and lastly, they are not in for the money like some clinics especially in the suburbs. I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Gill for the last 7 years after my favorite vet left the area (Harris Hill Animal Hospital). I have never been disappointed in the quality of care for my aging dogs. They are special needs dogs with lots of issues. Dr. Gill has never missed a beat in figuring out how to treat or what the issues were for my girls. If she needed to refer out to a specialist, I always got the best referral at the right time in treatment. I would not ever consider taking my pets anywhere else...highly qualified service from good people.Special shout out to Dr. Jeff for going above and beyond as well with Cleo (my 16 year old Maltese). Again, Transit Animal Hospital is the best vet care especially if you have animals with health issues or are older.

Transit Animal Hospital is friendly, clean, and very good at calming this overprotective, worrisome puppy mama. They always see us quickly and take their time to really understand our concerns. Our Great Dane/German Shepherd mix is comfortable with the staff and they handle both his size and personality very well. I trust their expertise and appreciate their attention to detail without over-testing.

I've taken my dog here for the past seven years. The staff is friendly and professional, they'll take the time to explain things in detail, and they know my dog by name. They also have a small kennel to board, which is very convienient, except they don't open on Sundays, so on weekend stays you'll have to pick up on Monday. FYI they charge by the night not by the day.
