Dessau Veterinary Clinic

We are so lucky this vet is so close to our house. We have had to make many quick drives there with our old-man-cat, Kitten, the staff has been like a new family to him and always make us feel so welcome with their warm-calming and caring demeanor.

I brought 2 kittens in to be tested for giardia. I've been rescuing, fostering and adopting out cats for many years and know far more about feline illness than most pet parents.The vet tech was drama hungry and assumed that I was an idiot because I didn't have the doses for the medication memorized. She concluded they were being improperly dosed. I could hear her gossiping about it in the back room and twisting the information I gave her. She got the vet all worked up and the vet was clearly angry throughout the consult. Even though the test for giardia was positive and I was right about the diagnosis and the medication (and as it turns out had been giving them the correct dosage); I was still treated disrespectfully, condescendingly and lectured. Just before I left I was given written information about giardia which would have been fine except for the snide comment that it came from a 'reputable medical journal'. It is insulting that they assume the worst about pet parents and forget that some of them actually get their information from said 'reputable medical journals'. So I won't be back and caution other pet parents-- when you speak to some of the vet techs there, you will be judged and "everything you say, can and will be used against you".

Worst vet clinic. Told me my cat needed the UR cat food. Really expensive. Never actually did a test. A few years later took my cat back in. Told me he had fleas because his stomach was missing a lot of hair where he had licked it. Our cat had been like that for several years. We had recently finished going through 2 months of flea treatment, had an exterminator over, and I knew for a fact that my cats were flea-free. Vet started to belittle me like I’m a child telling me she was right and I was wrong. She never even checked the cat for fleas and told me to treat for fleas. I decided to try a different vet. The new vet told me she suspected the licking was due to an allergy, possibly the UR food that the Dessau clinic vet had prescribed. She actually did a test and realized our cat didn’t have crystals and didn’t need the UR food. We stopped the food and soon he stopped licking the hair off his stomach. Not only did the Dessau clinic cause me to waste A LOT of money on food my cat didn’t need AND treat me like a child, they actually did my cat MORE harm by prescribing food they were allergic to without testing. How are people like this even in business?

Best vet we've ever had, Dr. Campbell has decades of experience and we trust her with the health of our cats.

My dog is completely traumatized about having his nails clipped. Did some research before I finally and thankfully arrived here, referred by a dog groomer. Amazing caring and professional staff at this place. Got all his nails clipped in less than 10 minutes and he will probably do better next time too after this positive experience. Special Thanks to Danielle a nd Anna that were the ladies that helped my 🐶. Almost forgot, it was also a walk in !! And I would drive 10 hours plus to come back here 😁! Thank you! ❤️
