I just left this vet about 15 min ago and I am shocked they have so many positive reviews, I wish I could say I had the same experience but I did not. I would not go to this vet again. Makes me wonder if they somehow filter their reviews. Any who, I get to the vet and they take a look at my cat and advise me of tests they would like to run. I nodded and agreed and they told me they would then bring in my estimate. Upon bringing in my estimate, it seems like they had the treatment all figured out before even running the tests, which I found was odd. But I figured things can change etc and they would let me know if that was the case. The tests took about 5 minutes, and they decided to continue to push getting flea medication and some antibiotics. When going over the form of the antibiotics, they advised there is an injection form and a oral form. I was told they are both the EXACT same thing and just as effective, however the oral form is less in cost. Well with my bill already at about $150 (no medication) I agreed to do the oral form since they were pretty much the same. The girl leaves the room, and as I look at the paperwork, the cost is 3 dollars less then the injection. 3$dollars? Really Ok, so I waited for the girl to come back to let her know I wanted the injection since there was NOT a price difference like I was told their was. She advised me the doctor was with another patient, so I said nicely that I would wait. The girl look surprised and then left for about a minute and came back explaining to me that she can not give the injection because the medication was already mixed together. I was shocked that for as much as this place says they "care" about animals, the doctor pretty much ended my appointment short and disappeared after going over the meds. I had more questions about my cats condition but at this point I was getting so many "umms and blank looks" from the nurse.I took the medication for my cats sake and just left. Oral medication is not a big deal for me and my pet, but the response from this vet I just found very rude and cold. The lady at the front desk was nice but other then that, both the women I dealt with were not friendly like these reviews said so. I feel like my appointment was rushed and the doctor just cut out and when I had a question for her to come back, she was busy and was telling the nurse what to tell me which is not professional at all. Being a new resident out here, at least I am happy I found where NOT to take my pets and got some antibiotics for my cat.

I CALLED HERE to get my dog in but they wouldnt take walk ins.So they referred me to an emergency hospital in Racine Wisconsin WVRC Emergency & specialty pet care. I had the worst horrific experience with the vet, She scared me with the diagnosis of my dog, she wanted to perform a exploratory surgery on my dog staring with 2700.00 to 4700.00 doller. the more exploring they would do it will increase the amount. she was 80 % sure that this procedure needed to be done so I was debating to leave him there or bring him home. But also got a bad felling about it so I decided to take the risk and decided to leave my dog there. we took the other the second thing get a shot for the vomiting and liquids under the skin and brought him home with me. But she expect me to bring him back the next morning to perform the surgery,dog didnt improve during the night.I almost went back to them but I decide to go to a Veterinary Specialty Center in Buffalo Grove, Ill. and to my surprise my dog didnt need a surgery and nothing was wrong with his stomach to perform a surgery of the magnitude. was not about the money, is about the suffering she was going to put my ten month french bulldog .Open him and perform a exploratory surgery on him. nobody in his- her right mind opens a dog or any other animal without knowing what the problem is. my point is Wolf Merrick Animal Hospital Shouldnt refer an Emergency Hospital like WVRC without knowing what kind of vets are performing there. Vets are suppose to be professionals caregivers not ignorant people who want to put our pets in more pain , because in my case she was about the money not about the care of my little buddy.. PS I HAD TO RATE THIS 1 STAR BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT LET ME POST MY REVIEW BUT I WOULD RATE THEM LESS THEN ZERO!!!!!!

We showed up for our appointment and they immediately brought us back to our room. There was a sign saying "Welcome Whiskey" (my dogs name). The vet tech came in and and took the time to listen to all our concerns, even though it was just a "meet and greet" appointment. Preface: my dog is extremely nervous and anxious in general, SPECIFICALLY at the vet. The second Dr. Reinke walked into the room she knelt down and asked what sort of treats she could offer my dog. I brought treats from home. The way she interacted with him so calmly and comfortably he was immediately at ease. He is a non-neutered pitbull which comes with prejudice. We felt NONE of that at Wolf Merrick. Have been to over 5 vets in the past 4 years, and this is hands down the BEST. At the end of each visit they send you home with a report card so you remember what you and your vet discussed during the visit. I left there with a happy pup and even happier dog mom! Thank you, Wolf Merrick. We feel instantly at home at our new vet ...

We were new to Kenosha and tried 2 other clinics until we found Wolf Merrick. We tried them and found them very acceptable, until we had an emergency with our dog. Our dog got caught in the rocks by Lake Michigan and hurt his shoulder, he was crying in pain. We called at 5:45pm (they close at 7pm) the receptionist simply said that they didnt have any appointments available, but we could bring him in the next day. Again, I explained that he was actually crying out loud in pain and he needed to be seen right away. She dismissed us and said that they had 3 appointments and they close at 7pm so there was no way we could bring him in. We are from Madison and our Vet there would NEVER turn us away, even if they were only going to be open for 10 more minutes, they would have seen our dog. What is the point of "having a vet" if they arent willing to help you in times of an emergency. This is not the type of Vet Clinic that we are use to and we could NEVER recommend Wolf Merrick based on our experience.

I have been with Wolf Merrick before it was Wolf Merrick. I used to see Dr. Merrick at his old Kenosha location. I started with my first Siberian, Khan, in 1980. At their new location Dr. Petereit has taken care of Tiki, Echo, Ice, and now Skyy. He has a very pleasant, knowledgeable staff who treat my dog with the care I would expect. If there is an extreme problem he will recommend a specialist. Unlike a visit to your physician, he and his other vets take the time to talk to you. I have never felt rushed. When Dr. Petereit is unavailable he has competent vets to assist. I recently has the pleasure meeting Dr. Sharon Grogan. She is a valuable addition to the staff. I hope she becomes a permanent member. Thank you for caring for Skyy and those that came before.
