My Baby Boi has a knot that has developed on both sides in his groin area and black spots on his skin that appeared over a month ago. They also have him on steroids for a skin condition and he has to have regular check-ups. The soonest they said they can get him in was two weeks. Come appointment time and they rescheduled and it was another 2 weeks. With his condition getting worse Im getting really concerned. We go in for the next appointment that they had set and they tell me they cannot see him until we pay off my other dogs bill even though baby boi`s bill was paid and we had payment for that visit they would not see him because they combined my other dog Marley on his account so until I pay for her they will not see him even though his bill is caught up they also denied the refill on his prescription until he is seen so now hes without medicine and he cant get into the Vet because they wont see him. I never asked for them both to be on the same bill in fact I wanted to separate accounts for them because hes got medical conditions that he has to be seen all the time. He is paid off and have money for that appointment and they refused treatment for him and he is sick Im livid. I can not give five stars to them as I did in the past if I could give lower than 1 * I would. I am also changing veterinarians to one that will care and have concern about the health of my Baby Boi. If you love your pet as much as I love mine you will not take them to this veterinarian for they are only out for the money and they allow the receptionist to run their office. I want to add that when we asked to talk with the doctor we were asked to leave the property by the receptionist. Very disappointed with the way I was treated. If I would have had the money trust me I would have paid it but I did not have the money to pay off my other dogs bill and the fact that they were both on two different plans and I had one dog before I had the other one makes no sense to me why they would put them on the same account also if they would have let me known my first appointment that they cancelled that I had still owed money I could have had the money to pay the bill. They didnt tell me until I walked in for my appointment that took me over a month to get (for an emergency) for him!

The fantastic staff at the 43rd Ave Animal Hospital have been taking care of our pets for 11 years, cats and dogs. We have thrilled with the professionalism, kindness and empathy they have shown not just to our beloved pets but also ourselves. When, on occasion, we have been forced to take our pets to an other animal hospital due to an emergency on nights or weekends, we are reminded anew how special our friends at 43rd Ave Animal Hospital are. They treat our pets like the family members they are, and everyone who works there seems to love and care for every animal that comes through their practice as if they were their own. This is the finest veterinary practice Ive ever done business with, and we always recommend it to friends who are looking for a family vet. One of the things that I really love about this practice is the follow-up call we get after every visit or procedure, to check on the welfare of our pet. If every physician who treats humans took the time to do this, the world would be a healthier and kinder place. You can trust the welfare of your fuzzy children to these wonderful folks. We certainly do.

First off I find it very terrible that if you give them a bad rate the owner does not respond , but if you give them a high rate their quick to say thank you, they should be responsive to everyones complaints and gratitude. Im very angry with this place took my cat because he had worms paid for the Dr visit but did not receive any meds for my cat, they said we had to order them and that I would receive an email by the end of the day with the medication needed I called them 4 times until the last minute they closed and asked about the email for the meds they kept saying I will get it by the end of the day and still I never received it. I would never bring my pets here for something so simple as a dewormer not being available.

Our little Maltese had been having a terrible time since her cherry-eye repair surgery at another vet a week prior. The eye was swollen and draining and just looked awful. We brought her back to that vet twice but he just kept blaming the dog: "she must be scratching at it." Even though she had a cone on that prevented that. We brought her to Dr. Striyle at 43rd Ave. Animal Hospital for a second opinion. Dr. Striyle knew just what to do and correctly recognized that it was the bad suture work that was causing irritation to the eye. She was able to remove the sutures without any sedation and less than 24 hours later our little girls eye looked way better. Thank God for Dr. Striyle.

Dr Strylie and the entire staff at 43rd Ave Animal Hospital are top notch. From the minute you walk in you are warmly greeted and rarely have to wait but a few minutes before being taken back to an exam room. The vet techs are very friendly and caring to both your pets and you. This is not the "fast food" version of a veterinarian clinic. They actually take time to examine your pet and ask questions before telling you what they think the problem may be. But, on the other hand, dont expect to spend hours there either. They are very efficient and understand how valuable your time is. My family has been taking our pets there for years. You should too.

Well, If Raggedy Andy could write, I am certain that 43rd animal Hospital would get 10 stars! And, while Suzy Q has not had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of all staff and Dr. Striyle to date, she knows that we firmly believe that 43rd Animal Hospital has the most compassionate, kind, caring and professional folks who work there. Oh, and did I mention their patience? A more delightful Veterinary experience not to be had, I believe! And, the fact that both cats and dogs have their own door to enter and waiting area is a major plus in my experience. Thanks to all who work there to ensure that our pets have the best of the best.

The 43rd Ave. Animal Hospital staff are always so nice and patient with my rambunctious crew. We brought in all three of our dogs at once and they took care of them with great calm and confidence. My Great Dane/Black Lab mix stayed in the kennels, so I could enjoy the July 4th weekend together with my family. He hates fireworks! I was hoping he would be calmer in a new environment with other dogs around him, but no. I was so afraid they would be upset with me bringing him in, but they were very understanding and gave me some suggestions to try to help him. Thank you 43rd! I appreciate all your help and care of my fur-kids!
