What Cedar Springs pet owners tell us.

  • I love pretty much everything about this vet, and more importantly, so does my dog! We’ve always had good experiences, and I have a hard time getting my dog to leave after her appointments. They are friendly and quick to respond.

    Annie Grace Pettit

  • We had to make a very difficult decision and put our dog down yesterday. Dr. Judy, by far, is the most phenomenal Vet we’ve ever worked with. She was so kind during the emotional process, and we are forever grateful for her compassion. Thank you, Dr. Judy!

    Becca Lofquist

  • I couldn’t ask for better care for my poultry. They’ve treated my geese, chickens, and peafowl.

    Ethan Vance

  • I have moved away from the Cedar Springs area but am still willing to drive over an hour to take my dog here. The care is top-notch, to the point, and they don’t try to sell you products your animals don’t need. Prices are very affordable, in my opinion. I’ve also seen a multitude of animals besides dogs and cats treated here. I highly recommend this hidden gem. The staff is wonderful!

    Heidi S

  • Very friendly, helpful staff. Everything was explained so that we understood. Was given text updates & photos of my cat post-surgery overnight while she recovered & updates the following day until she was able to come home. Highly recommend. We used the emergency services but plan to transfer our pets for regular visits.

    Jeannie Lee

  • Great place to go. Picked my hunter up from board and train. Poor guy threw up blood on the second night. Rushed him up there at 8am. As booked as they were they still seen him. Got him taken care of and he is happy as can be. He even put on the pounds he lost.

    Jeffrey Phillips

  • One of the best emergency vet experiences in the area. We had a “non-emergency” emergency and they were the only location to actually answer the phone, allow us in even though we weren’t patients, and gave us a firm appointment. Great care. Kind people.

    Jill Overacker

  • Nothing could make it better; we love the Cedar Animal Hospital staff. Baxter is happy to visit each time and pouts when we leave. That’s why we drive 35 minutes for his appointments. Their level of care for him is unmatched! Thank you, guys!

    Radonna Laranja

  • I really can’t say enough good things. We drove from GR to bring our seriously ill cat home at 9 p.m. on a Saturday night before Easter Sunday. They were extremely compassionate and upfront about the costs and called me when they needed to do anything that would add to the total. I really appreciated that level of transparency, which I have not experienced at other vet offices. They seemed to understand that we didn’t have unlimited resources and didn’t feel judged. My cat was diagnosed with pneumonia, and I believed I saved her life. I have had experiences with both ER vets in GR and have been less than completely satisfied. I would drive the extra miles to have any of my animals there in an emergency because they impressed me with how understanding and compassionate, they were to myself and my husband. My husband was so distracted that night that he left his lights on, and one of the workers actually helped him jump his car. 10/10 would recommend.
