Minnesota Valley Pet Hospital

I was just in for a basic checkup and they seemed to want to get me in and out as quickly as possible. The vet hardly asked any questions about my dog to get to know about him. I understand he didn't have any concerning issues, but vets usually ask at least a bit more to get to know them as a patient. It seemed like they really didn't care. They then took my dog to the back "for his blood draw," but apparently did his entire exam back there. It was very odd compared to my prior experience with vets for them to take him away for the full exam instead of doing it in front of me to discuss things as they go. I had asked about some itching, and they also shaved off a patch of his fur while he was in the back. It seemed really strange that they didn't ask or at least mention that to me before doing it, since I was right there with him. It makes me wonder what else goes on "in the back" and makes me uneasy leaving him in their hands. I'd like a vet I can establish a relationship of trust with so I feel confident taking my dog in if he develops a serious problem. I don't think I'll be back. Also - I was upcharged extremely high for the flea/tick medicine. It's my own fault for not checking the average prices beforehand, but I wanted to make other people aware before they fall for it too.

They have helped out a lot with our cat and puppy. They are always clean when we come inside, and their hospitality is excellent. We're happy to care about our pets just as much as we are.

Love this place. Had to take my poor baby girl in for her bad cough that developed overnight and they were very quick and friendly! Explained everything to me thoroughly and gave me the medicine needed to help with her healing and throwing up. I never really write reviews but the process of the whole ordeal was smooth and the staff were helpful, which calmed me down. Plus the end bill didn't cost me an arm and a leg! My puppy is finally sleeping soundly thanks to them 😊

These folks are great! They provide a wondeful experience for our pets, taking very good care of them and answering any questions that we might have. We've had to put down a couple of our pets in the past, and the staff has always been super caring and respectful throughout the whole process. I can't recommend this place enough l.

I had to reach out to get records for my 93 year old Grandmother's cat Elmer. We tried Grandma's last name, my mom's last name and my aunts last name. Finally we found Elmer and his records. Just a quick shout out to say thank you for your patience and persistence! Much appreciated! My family has used MV for years and they have always taken great care of our pets.
