Chaska Valley Veterinary Clinic

I brought both my dogs here while I was home visiting my mom.
My first visit was because my pup had pustules and I needed a refill. I called them to see if I could get a refill if my vet in Georgia faxed in a prescription. They informed me of the price, got all my info and said they could call me when it was ready. Hours later I got a call from them informing me that my vet did not fax it in yet. I called my vet and they said they sent it, overall it was a back and forth game but I finally got my prescription. I was impressed that even though my pup was not a regular patient at this clinic; they reached out to me to let me know they had not gotten the prescription.
During my second visit, I brought my dogs in because one of them had worms in their stool. The technician and the vet were so helpful and friendly. They each took their time asking me questions, looking at my dogs and asked me questions about life. They were genuinely concerned about my dogs and interested in me. This was impressive because not only did they care about the health of my dogs but they wanted to get to know me as an individual. The entire staff that I encountered were all friendly and helpful. From the lady I spoke with about the prescription to the lady that checked me out.
The prices here for the prescription and both dogs being seen was reasonable. I was expecting it to be much higher.
I would highly recommend this clinic. If I have any problems again with my dogs when I’m home in MN, this is where I would bring them.
**FYI, there business cards are also discount cards. You can get $ 20 off your first visit if you give it to them, they are by the registers. I didn’t notice this until later after my first visit.

I loved them. My puppy was very nervous at the first vet we took him to and even gave the veterinarian a nice growl! However, I ended up taking him here for an emergency apt (which they got me in for and did not charge me ANY fee) and every staff member there came out and greeted my puppy with treats/​kisses/​hugs ect. Everyone was awesome with him and he didn’t wanted to leave at the end! I will definitely be brining him back.

THEY SAVED MY DOGS LIFE! Thank you from the bottom of my heart… My Pomeranian puppy went into hyperglycemic shock and stopped moving/​breathing, I drove 75 mph down the street and left my car in front of the building half on the curb/​blocking three parking spots; I rushed in screaming and within seconds half a dozen staff were resuscitating her. THANK YOU!!!

Just thought I would update my previous review. I moved an hour North of Chaska Valley Vet Clinic late 2009 and still go there for all my dogs Vet needs. I tried to find a «back up» clinic in the area I moved to and it was a disaster to say the least. One thing I will not compromise on is my dogs health care. I currently have 4 dogs. I buy their food, heart worm, flea/​tick applications and all their vet check ups are done there. I could not imagine taking my dogs to any other vet clinic. I have used this clinic for over 16 years and couldn’t imagine taking my dogs any where else for their routine vet care.

I will write a longer review later today as I’m too angry to write a long, completely coherent complaint. I’ll give you a hint: I just had my kitten, Louisa, in yesterday (9.28.11) to be spayed. The vet tech noticed that her claws were a little long and told me they would trim them. OK, fine, it’s a vet clinic. No problems, right? Wrong.
Last night, I decided to check little Louisa’s claws for the hell of it. Bottom left paw, fine. Bottom right paw, there’s a little blood from where they trimmed too close, and cut the quick (look it up). Front left paw, not good. Trimmed too short, a little more blood. Front right paw? DAMMIT!!! She has only a stub of a claw left! There’s a lot of blood (for a tiny claw), and the quick was cut about halfway down!!! Like I said, there’s only a stub of a claw left. Oh, wait. Another claw was cut halfway down? Just as stubby as the first one.
It’s painful for an animal when a claw is trimmed too short (into the quick). My little Louisa just had her little uterus removed, and she’s having enough trouble as it is, let alone having painful little toes. And, come to think of it, no one pointed that out to me. They just brought her out in her kennel. How conveeeenient!
Of course, my husband I just tried taking pictures and the photos didn’t take, and now I’m recharging the camera batteries. Of course, he has to leave for work in a few minutes. I will, one way or another, get a photo of her poor little mangled claws and post them here.
I’ll have more for you later.

I uploaded the photos (the only 2 good ones) and you can view them from my account. It’s a bummer I can’t post them directly here. You can safely bet the Chaska Veterinary will get an earful from me later today, after I’ve calmed down. They’ll get more photos, too. This is ridiculous.
