Clare Eddy Thaw Animal Hospital

I love this place because of the doctor. Dr Cowan, but now she is leaving this makes me so sad. Please do anything you can to keep her she is the best you can get. Only a fool would let her go! We will follow her anywhere. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs 2 lizards we have seen a lot of so called doctors none compare.

UPDATE: Despite my earlier experience when they wouldn’t see my ill cat, this hospital had such good reviews overall, I still took my kitties there for regular care, boosters and wellness visits. Turns out, I’ve been very happy with the hospital for these things, and once they knew us, they also made it a priority when one of the pets needed an emergency visit.
I’m happy with them as my regular vet now, but would still warn about their exclusivity. They’re good, but they’re not who you want to call if you’ve never been there before.

My feline friends and I had a great experience here, and it was their regular vet who steered us toward them for the dental work they needed.
Facility — While it’s a ways out of town, it’s worth the drive to be in a new facility that is built for pets. The waiting room has little nooks, so cats and dogs don’t have to stare each other down while waiting for appointments.
Affordability — They offer a sliding scale based on income. Even paying full price, the dental work my cat needed was roughly half what other vets around town were quoting for the same work. And when the surgery was all done, they charged me even less than the estimate.
Estimate/​billing practices — How many times have you been shocked and surprised at how you were charged by a doctor, dentist or vet who performed a procedure without giving you a clue as to what it would cost until you were checking out? The vet here examined the cats, explained what needed to be done, and then provided a detailed, written estimate. The vet also did not assume that I would agree to expensive procedures right on the spot, so I didn’t feel pressure to hand over the furballs right then and there.
Quality of care — The pets didn’t have any problems after the procedure, seemed relatively unscathed, and multiple people let me know their office hours for the coming days in case I needed to call with any questions or concerns.
And as you expect at a vet’s office, everybody was kind and cuddled the pets, so I didn’t worry when I drove off and left them to be knocked out.
