We had our new puppy in for his very 1st visit last Friday.Such kind, compassionate staff. Dr. Schultz was amazing! Today he had is very 1st puppy class with Brittany. She is amazing also. I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone with a pet! Read Less

We just got a new puppy, and on a neighbors recommendation we went to Burleigh Road Animal Hospital. We can't say enough nice things about them. In just one month we have seen a vet, groomer and trainer. All have gone above and beyond. Brittany is just an incredible trainer. Her love of animals, she is also a tech there, shows above all. Very knowledgeable in animal obedience and her willing to do in house training was just great, working with us in our environment with our dog. We are looking forward to a great partnership with them. Read Less

The one-on-one dog training at Burleigh is outstanding. Brittany is great and is really able to teach the dogs to listen and respond in a very positive way. Brittany has very easy to use step- by-step instructions for training. This allowed me to easily practice with my dog on my own in the same manner that she taught. My response rate with my dog was quick. Her one-on-one training allowed me to specify areas that I wanted to focus on with my dog. This is something that cannot be easily done in a group session. It€s very flexible in regards to time. Brittany worked well with my schedule and was always good to work with. I would highly recommend taking advantage of the one-on-one training. Read Less

This is an edit/additional review on 1-24-17. Used BRAH for grooming my 11 month old cairn terrier, Max. I was a little apprehensive because I didn't really know what to expect. The groomer, Deja, was fantastic and the results were great! Deja was very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns and explained very well her plan and process. The results exceeded my expectations and I have already made an appointment for the next visit! Thanks!! The following review was from 11-10-16 The staff at Burleigh Road Animal Hospital is very friendly and caring. After my 1st puppy exam I signed up for their "Puppy Orientation" classes. The trainer, Brittany, was outstanding. She taught us how to train our puppies and the initial socialization for the puppies was great. My little guy, Max, responds to the commands and just loves to say "hello" to other dogs and people on our daily walks through Wauwatosa. On 11-7-16, I took Max in to be neutered, had 2 baby teeth extracted, and a microchip inserted. The staff and DVM, Dr. Berland, again were fantastic and 3 days later Max is back like nothing happened. I would recommend Burleigh Road Animal Hospital. In summary, take your pets here, and if you have a puppy, sign up for the Puppy Orientation classes! (when I was a kid, back in the early sixties, our family began using BRAH for our dogs Chris, Jessie and Gusto and I am happy the fantastic care has withstood the test of time)Read Less

Our companion animals have received veterinary care from BRAH since the 1970's. Over the years this has included 3 dogs and 4 cats. Decades ago BRAH care saved our very young little ginger kitten with a serious respiratory infection who was near being euthanized because she would not eat. Dr. Christie persevered in finding the right antibiotic. Dr. Braun, then semi-retired, made the simple but lifesaving suggestion of offering her milk---which she eagerly lapped up. Honey lived another 16 years. In the1990's, Dr. Laurie McCabe gave us the best vet care available throughout the eight years we had our beloved Bichon, named Andy, who suffered from textbook severe inflammatory bowel disease. She helped me make the difficult decision all we who love animals eventually have to make when our furry friends' suffering outweighs their quality of life. Most recently, Dr. Lisa Schultz has helped us with our now 16 year old Westie, Cuddles, who has several challenging chronic conditions. She has always been steady, informed and proactive. On a recent occasion she took the initiative to intervene by advising me when an emergency care vet was recommending an unnecessary and risky procedure. As a result I believe we have been able to have him several years longer than we would have otherwise. As leader of her veterinary care team, and I emphasize "team," Dr. McCabe has encouraged and insisted on best practices care, a result of continued education and coordinated care from her staff. BRAH has been informed, wise and compassionate. We are forever grateful. Kathy Mohrman Judy Rafalski now living in OshkoshRead Less

This is a Vet Hospital that really cares about its pet patients & owners. My cat is 15+ years old & has some serious internal problems. Our cat is a beloved member of our family, & this is very difficult on us. Due to health problems in our own family, our budget is extremely tight. The Dr's & staff are extremely kind, knowledgeable & understanding of the situation. The Dr., had made recommendations based off of our needs & concerns, but keeping our cat Tipper well cared for. They have called us several times checking on our Cat & how she is doing. They adjust her treatment plan accordingly, along with concern and empathy for how difficult this is for the family. Their knowledge, caring & experience has been invaluable to our family! I can not thank them enough for all the care that they give to my aging cat Tipper, along with caring for our younger cat Boo . I highly recommend Burleigh Road Animal Hospital & Vets for your pet's care. Read Less

Thank you so much for taking care of us while our Dad took our Mom on a Valentine's Weekend getaway. We had a really good time, except for maybe Ernie who can be a little neurotic. Evi loved her 'snow-walks'. Mom and Dad loved seeing the picture of Evi and our Valentine's Day cards (AND OUR TREATS!!! I love treats!). We're looking forward to coming back and seeing you again soon...maybe in May when Mom and Dad fly to Idaho to see Grandma. Anyway, I just wanted you to know that we had and awesome-pawsome time.

I would like to thank and virtually hug Dr. Berland and the amazing staff at The Burleigh Road Animal Hospital for not only taking us in tonight as a last minute appointment but also for their kindness, honesty, and staying late to make sure Bailey got the care and medicine he needed. We have been patients at the clinic for nearly 10 years and have always had exceptional care, but we are so grateful for the extra above and beyond tonight. In addition to Dr. Berland, I would like to specifically hug Sarah, Jessica, and Brandy. You ladies are all amazing! Thank you so much for all that you did for us! Read Less

The entire staff treat you and your furry babies with great respect. They took such good care of my cats up until they crossed that rainbow bridge. Now we take our rescued puppy there. We have full confidence in them! Read Less

I took both of my dogs ( Penny and Oliver) to Burleigh Road Animal Hospital yesterday. Staff is excellent. Several times they got down on the floor with them to make them feel ok. We have definitely found a new veterinarian home! Read Less

Lets face it...our pets are our children.  You have to feed them, take care of them, and sometimes even clothe them. :) BRAH totally understands that and treats your pets like their own! Ever since I got my first cat, and now on to my first dog, I have been taking my pets here.  So that is almost 8 years now.  The staff is very nice, caring, and will answer any question...even if you think it's dumb...and I am sure I have called in with some dumb questions at one point!  BRAH also boards both cats and dogs, and the cost isn't outrageous.  Make sure if you are thinking of boarding during holidays you plan appropriately and call ahead of time.  Also, recently they started a rewards program where you can collect points to redeem at a later time.  I can honestly say when anyone needs a vet, I recommend them to Burleigh Road Animal Hospital.

This review is related to BOARDING only.In 2011, our family dog went MISSING for almost 5 days as a result of negligence from this facility. Maybe their protocols have changed since - I hope so, and I'm sure they will gladly explain. However, pet lovers, please beware of boarding here. Our Sheltie somehow got out of the leash and collar that they gave him while taking him for a walk with another dog (Yes- they gave him a new collar with no ID!). Since they don't keep the original collars and ID tags on the dogs while they are boarding them, he was lost without any identification and at the fault of this facility. Please be cautious in choosing this place for boarding. They are located directly off of a road and do not have a fence to ensure that all dogs on the property will be kept safe. This was absolutely heartbreaking for our family and is a mistake that never should have been made. Thankfully, our boy was found, but not in any part due to efforts from staff here. They drove around the first night but were not at all involved for the next 4.5 days he was missing. Burleigh did compensate my family as requested, so in that sense, that was the responsible thing for them to do and that was both expected and appreciated.The biggest problem (and the reason I feel it's necessary to warn other pet families) is that Burleigh is a boarding facility with no fenced-in areas and protocols that involve walking multiple dogs at the same time. They need to take dogs for walks as they have no other way of exercising the animals. They are also right off of main roads, where cars could frighten dogs or where the obvious could happen in case a dog were to escape. Maybe they should focus on veterinary practice, as boarding (and walking animals along the road) simply does not make sense for this location. Any responsible dog owners know that dogs become familiar with a certain type of collar or harness and putting a different type on them may cause a fear reaction, or they may be able to figure out how to escape them. And clearly, a dog without an ID tag is a HUGE problem! We made it very clear to them that our boy was anxious around other dogs and they knew him quite well, so it does not seem to be logical that they would find it a good idea to take him for a walk alongside another dog. This should have been obvious to any trained animal walker/worker the second they put these two dogs next to each other.Again, we highly recommend vet services for this hospital and do NOT wish to deter anyone from using their veterinary care services. But, I do not recommend that you board your dog here. There are other facilities more equipped with safety measures such as fences. It is at your own risk if you choose a boarding facility with no fences and that walks dogs alongside other dogs, etc. Our family took the risk and it turned out badly. An unfortunate situation and mistakes do happen, but I would advise you to still be cautious about boarding here.Services like Yelp exist so that consumers may warn other consumers about potential risks and problems, and in this case, it's highly essential. We're huge dog lovers, and families should take great care and consideration when choosing a boarding facility for their furry family members. Read Less

Took my newly adopted dog Willy there for the first time and they were wonderful with him! The girl at the reception greeted him by name and they made it a very positive experience for him. The doctor made sure to explain and look over everything we got from the humane society about Willy. Even calling to clarify a few things he was unsure of. And due to being the first visit they even gave Willy a welcome toy. Very great staff!! Recently took Willy there for an emergency visit due to an issue with his eye and they were very helpful. Still think they are amazing and a great place.Read Less
