As a Hyde Park resident, I never thought I'd wind up going to Cherry Grove - my family pets had always been patients at Oakley & Hyde Park animal hospitals. Honestly, I can't tell you how/why I started going to Cherry Grove, but I think it had something to do with our SPCA pet insurance plan. Anyway, as somebody who is pretty familiar with Hyde Park, Oakley, and Cherry Grove, I cannot more highly endorse Cherry Grove. We have been taking our 2+ year old shih tzu mutt there since we adopted her. They have consistently recommended a course of treatment that is not overkill, but is enough to get the job done (i.e. they don't gouge me by recommending needless preventative care). Our dog came down with a cherry eye at about 1 year old, and their surgeons fixed her right up, and even provided me with written documentation to send to my insurer supporting the position that the condition was covered by my policy (SPCA insurance still denied the claim - DO NOT buy SPCA insurance - it is totally worthless, go with another third party insurer like Embrace). The cherry eye has not come back, and she had a speedy recovery. Just this past week, ragweed has skyrocketed in the Cincinnati area, and our dog has been a whining, itching, biting mess. She has itched from sun up to sun down, and was starting to hurt her coat and skin. I called Cherry Grove, they looked at her, and after I told them Benadryl didn't work, they prescribed a steroid/antihistamine combo. After giving our pup 2 pills six hours apart, she almost completely stopped itching and biting. Other local vets charge up to $3 a pill for those meds, 1800petmeds charges $.99 a pill, and Cherry Grove charged us $.78 a pill. Cannot recommend this vet more. Read Less
