Uptown Vet

I recently just bought two kittens from an animal shelter and they have an upper respiratory infection. When I brought them in they received only love and care from these vets and vet techs.
I have had to call last minute due to my kittens getting worse and they get me right away. I didn't even have an appointment and they took them in.
This is a wonderful clinic and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I have never been so impressed with a vet.

They took care of my pets like they were their own.

I can't speak to the service they DO provide but they are no longer associated with any natural care veterinarians. I phoned today looking for someone who wasn't going to just give us antibiotics or steroids and send us off to "wait and see" if the "treatment" worked.

They recommended Heather Evans, the U of M and Alta Vet. I'm going to search out these vets on my own and see what they are all about but I thought I'd let everyone out there know that if they are looking for natural care this isn't the place.

Three stars for them being helpful though in referring me to others.

This is one vet who is not out to sell you on pricey services, medications, and unnecessary interventions.

I take my 2 cats here, and Uptown Vet has treated them very lovingly and always prefers the natural route to performing a service. Even if it means they don't make as much money.

My kitten had a baby tooth remaining where the adult tooth was growing in. It looked really painful for my kitty and the Internet suggested that the new tooth could be permanently pointed the wrong way causing a lifetime of chewing and biting problems for my cat.

When I took him into Uptown Vet, they were not very worried about biting problems. In fact, they recommended I wait to see if the tooth falls out naturally and talked me out of getting it pulled. Well, 1 week later it did fall out and their advice saved me money and my cat unnecessary mouth trauma.

Another nice is when my cats were sick and contagious, they isolated them in the dog rooms for so no other cats would contract the bug.

PROS: inexpensive, separate areas for cats and dogs, naturalist pet care
CONS:

This vet uses a natural approach to pet care. I took my dog there when she had a dull coat, and the vet recommended natural food additives I could add to her diet. The vet also gave me a sample dog toothbrush to use to clean her teeth. No other vet took the time to teach me awareness about preventative care for my dog.

PROS: Has natural foods for pets
CONS: none
