Veterinarians in Richfield, MN

Value Care Vet on 66 th and Bloomington Ave. they are fantastic.

https://www.facebook.com/140472589332284 Woodlake Veterinary Hospital is wonderful.

Worth the drive to https://www.facebook.com/193823367309536 Shady Oak Veterinary Clinic to see Dr Vaughn!

Best Friends Animal Hospital

A bit far but Lyndale Animal Hospital is lovely. Our regular vet is on maternity leave. I think her name is Dr. Kopi? But the vet filling in for her is super nice. And then when you’re done there, you can walk to Bob’s Java which is dog friendly inside!

Dr. Gatto, Best Friends in Bloomington meets the criteria you describe to a T.

We go to https://www.facebook.com/162960140398805 Blue Cross Animal Hospital ! We always have amazing service.

Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington. Reasonable prices, but both doctors and staff are extremely accommodating and very friendly. Been taking my dog there for 8+ years.

I heard ValueCare Vet (1515 E. 66 th) is very reasonable, it was mentioned on this page not too long ago by Kelly Janohosky. One of my dogs is due for vaccinations and is impossible to get into the exam room, but we are going to give them try and see how we like it.

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dr. Gatto at Best Friends (just behind Sonic Burger/Southtown). He's very pragmatic, really takes time with us to help us understand what's going on, etc. He's also way more affordable than any other vet we've been to (been to Diamond Lake - awful experience) and also not a great experience at Wood Lake clinic. WE just had to put our 18 year old cat down and they were very kind about the whole thing. We also have a dog and now have two kittens. The only downside is they don't do chickens...bummer for us! https://www.bestfriendsmn.com/

Valu Care vet! On 66 th, just found them and so far I have been VERY IMPRESSED.

Woodlake Clinic on 65 th and Lyndale, they are great

If you want the very best we've ever been associated with..I recommend Minnehaha Animal Hospital on 47 th and Chicago. Dr. Soul. She's taken care of all of our pets through the past many years. You won't find a VET with more care or compassion for your animal.

Blue Cross Animal Hospital 53 rd and Lyndale. Went there for 60 years with our family pets when I was young!

Mission pet hospital on Viking drive special prices. Have various specialists and open 7 days a week walk in and appts. Also Bloomington vet on lyndale very caring and will support care plans

Nokomis Vet. Dr Amos 612-767-4546. 2917 42 nd St, MPLS. He's absolutely the best.

Shady Oak Vet! Definitely worth the short drive...Dr. Barb and her whole staff are wonderful:) http://www.shadyoakvet.com/

We go to Westgate Pet Clinic and LOVE them!!

Mission Animal. They are a nonprofit and will give reduced prices to low income families.

I don't have a vet, but we've used the vaccination clinic at Petco on the weekends. I think they have some partnership with the U of M vet department or something, but they come in a few times a month on Saturdays and do vaccinations for around $50. We were in and out with our cat in about ten minutes this weekend. https://stores.petco.com/mn/richfield/vaccinations-richfield-mn-608.html

East Lake Animal Clinic.

Highly recommend Woodlake Vet- Dr. Godding specifically

http://missionah.org/ They may be able to help - I think their prices are less and they may be willing to work out payment?

Our dog needed to have knee surgery . It was a PTLO and we went to Shamrock Animal Hospital in Rosemount. They had the best price for the surgery and were great We found this was the better of the two types they did at the time. Had less chance of reoccurrence. Our dog did great.

We just took a trek all the way over to Chaska to the Value Care Vet Clinic. They were the most affordable for a spay surgery in the metro. The clinic was clean and professional.

My husband had a dog with a torn acl and was referred to Dr. Mark Nelson at interstate vet in centuria, wi, which is right outside of Taylor's falls. We have brought pets there ever since. He's an exceptional vet and very reasonable! Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions. Good luck!

We take our animals to Croix Valley Vet in Hudson. We decided to take them there because one of our friends had a great experience working with them through an expensive heart worm treatment.

Have you been to Blue Cross Animal Hospital? and the U of M has a Vet clinic...

All I ever hear is how expensive the UM is. I had a vet emergency and just to walk through the door was ridiculous. We go to Broadway Robbinsdale vet Hospital super reasonable prices.

Heather- sorry about pup. Found this article atleast gives explaination of surgery but also other solutions : http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/13_2/features/Canine-Ligament-Injury-Options_16198-1.html

Are you talking about TTA surgery? If so I just had it done for my dog on the left rear leg. We go to Blue Cross on Lyndale. They had a surgeon come in and do the surgery at their clinic. It has been a few months and she is doing great. She hesitates going down the deck stairs but other than that she is fine. It was about $3000 but it worked out great for us. http://www.vetsurgerycentral.com/ortho_TTA.htm

I have a foster dog who also needs CCL surgery. The first thing I did was spent about $175.00 to get a specialist opinion at the U of MN. (They accepted the xrays I already had taken). They provided a few more options. 3 k is high and I would definitely check elsewhere as I have been quoted by some highly recommended places anywhere from 1000-1500.00. The U did tell me there are multiple options out there but what you hear, get told are the options they work with, or handle specifically at that vets clinic.

They do have surgeons able to fix orthopedic conditions. They do their business on a sliding scale. This is a non-profit and they are amazing. https://www.facebook.com/missionah/

Inver Grove Animal Hospital? Call to inquire about price. I've had my dog's surgeries there several times.

Michelle Rodgers Vaughn with Shady Oak Veterinary

It's funny because we've used 4 vet offices for different reasons. 1. VCA on 66 th is great for the simple stuff (vaccinations, etc). 2. Westgate on 40 th and France is the absolute best for big stuff (surgeries, severe illnesses, euthanization, etc). 3. Diamond Lake is good for getting in somewhere quick. 4. Banfield at PetSmart on Lyndale - just DON'T go there. Ever. At all. Edited to add that the Flying Cloud Emergency Pet Hospital is the absolute best for middle of the night emergencies!

We like Dr. Sarah Bourn at Woodlake. She doesn't push procedures and meds and doesn't constantly harp at you if your pet has a few extra pounds. She is a great Vet and we have taken all our animals to her for about 8 years.

I go to Uptown vet. It is a little bit further to drive but worth it and meets your criteria.

http://grandavevet.com/

We currently use Woodlake. Some stuff I'm happy with, others not (e.g., don't tell me you have experience with a certain breed when you actually don't), and their dental prices are outrageous. I have heard great things about Shady Oak vet, and that they will scrape a dog's teeth for cleaning so the dog doesn't have to be put under.:-)

Westgate Pet clinic in Southwest Minneapolis. I been taking my dogs there for 8 years now. I recently moved to Apple Valley and still make the drive for my dogs. They're super patient and they're not pushy at all.

Dr. Groth@Vet Partners on Xerxes by Cub Foods and Chuck and Don's. He's great!

Lake Harriet Veterinary! http://lakeharrietvet.com

Blue Cross Animal Hospital on 58 th Lyndale very great doctors!

We use Cedar Pet Clinic for our menagerie. Dr. Blake has been patient, honest, kind and most of all not pushy! Is that a Boxer or Frenchie in your profile picture?

Minnehaha Animal Hospital on 48 th & Chicago

Dr. Gatto at Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington.

Best friends is very affordable and I love Dr Nick Gatto Dvm. It's right behind Southtown near the new apts/condos

I second Blue Cross Animal Hospital.

Woodlake Veterinary Hospital, on lyndale in Richfield. We were new to MN last year and they've taken great care of our older Lab. Especially Dr. Godding.

We love Best Friends Animal Hospital. They are very affordable and Dr Gatto is great - very pragmatic and personable. They're right behind Southtown

Mission Animal Hospital may be an option - They provide great caring service and prices are generally less than other local vets. http://www.missionah.org

Blue Cross Animal Hospital, my dogs from pups to the grave..Great people and compassionate during the finale days...

Hey Koreena Rose Eckert... Try diamond Lake animal, Dr. Oakes. That's where I've taken all my animals, and they've been great! And reasonable prices

Try Mission Animal Hospital. They are awesome!

Dr Barb at Shady Oak Vet

As stated, Dr. Oakes at Diamond Lake is awesome and Blue Cross (doesn't matter who) is super kind and caring. For just the spay I had my cat done through MnSNAP because I couldn't afford it easily either. I had to prove that I earned less than $45 k (bring a W2) but that was it. They sterlilize dogs also: $60-70 depending on size. http://mnsnap.org/services/personal-pets/

If you don't mind driving just a little but further, I would definitely suggest ValueCare Vet in Chaska.

Fort Road Animal Clinic in St Paul on West 7 th street. Affordable and wonderful vets!! https://www.facebook.com/Fort-Road-Animal-Clinic-292474057429505/?fref=ts

https://www.facebook.com/254852117986158 Valuecare Veterinary Clinic

I love https://www.facebook.com/162960140398805 Blue Cross Animal Hospital. I'm sure you could call them in the morning and get an estimate.

ValueCare Vet is great!

I take mine to Wolf Animal Hospital on 90 th & Penn. Dr. Cory just retired so I have not met the new vet yet but they have been amazing for the last 5 years I have gone there! They also take care credit.

I like Dr. Lee at VCA

Blue Cross Animal hospital. 53 rd and Lyndale in Mpls. Very good and reasonable.

https://www.facebook.com/163774007015638 Prior Lake Pet Hospital

Another vote for Value Care Vet.

Mission Hospital in Eden Prairie is a low cost vet service too

Westgate pet clinic in Edina, they are tops. Especially Dr. Moline.

We love Dr. Gato and everyone at Best Friends!

Value care Vet RICHFILD

I use VCA because my dog was already registered there when I adopted her, but I like what Value Vet care has to offer and may switch over there at some point

Mission is a non-profit vet clinic. https://www.missionah.org/

Mission Animal Hospital in Eden Prairie

Woodlake Vet, they're awesome!

Uptown Vet is phenomenal. Although a little further away, a great group of people there!

Parkview Cat Clinic in Mendota Heights. 651-552-0848. Dr. Grant Gugisberg. They are awesome. And they are strictly cats. We've been taking our cats to Dr. Grant for 20+ years. The clinic is at 837 Sibley Memorial Hey. It's about a 15 minute drive from Richfield.

Blue Cross Vet Clinic. 54 th and Lyndale. Dr. Michelle, Dr. Amy, and Dr. Deb are house favorites. 3 generations of our 2 legged family have brought our cats and dogs there from babyhood to end of life.

I've heard great things about Woodlake Vet.

My cats have been going to Woodlake Vet for the last 5 or 6 years and they are fabulous:>

If willing to go a bit father, Shady Oak is great. Michelle Rodgers Vaughn is a vet there- Richfield resident!:)

Diamond Lake Animal Hospital on 58 th and Nicollet. I've been going there for 15+ years with all my pets. Dr Oakes is amazing! http://www.diamondlakeah.com/

Best Friends Animal Hospital behind Southtown. Dr. Nick and staff are great!

Diamond Lake Animal Hospital on 58 th and Nicollet Ave. Been going there for years! Love the new vet and all the staff are wonderful with my pit bull and 2 cats.

We use Blue Cross Animal Hospital on about 54 th & Lyndale. All the vets are great!

get out of the corporate vets! go to nokomis pet clinic and dr. amos deinard. he is awesome. http://www.nokomispetclinic.com/

Cliff Lake in Eagan is great! All the vets are wonderful and knowledgeable.

Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington is wonderful! Dr. Gatto and everyone there are fantastic with our fur babies.

I highly recommend Diamond Lake Animal Hospital who is my regular Veterinarian. My dog recently got sick and I took him to one of the local Richfield Vet clinics because it was a semi-emergency and my vet was booked, and all they did was sign me up for an expensive health plan, suggest it was my dog's teeth that were the problem, but couldn't get him in for a dental cleaning for 6 weeks. They gave me no treatment plan and just left me with a huge bill that ended up to be over $600. I went back to Diamond Lake Animal Hospital and they did an extensive exam, said there was nothing wrong with his teeth that required the dental cleaning, gave me a very clear treatment plan and charged me $50. I went back to the "other" vet, canceled the plan and will never go back there. PM me if you want to know what Vet to avoid.

Lake Harriet Vet. They offer holistic treatments as well as traditional. Love them!

Valu vet. The best and reasonable

I see Dr. Cowan at Anderson Lakes Animal Hospital in Eden Prairie (though I have seen all three vets there and they are all awesome, along with the rest of the staff). Worth the short drive from Richfield!

Lake Harriet Veterinary! Absolutely the best care around.

Vet Partners in Edina. Dr. Luther Groth is amazing!

We are really happy with Blue Cross Animal Hospital@53 rd x Lyndale.

I agree with Erica Erhart, Best Friends is a wonderful place. It's less expensive than the other three vets we've tried. Dr Gatto is very pragmatic and always give options and explains stuff wit NO pressure.

Valuecare....our dog split his 4 th premolar and needed extraction here is breakdown of what was done and cost....... compared to Richfield VCA: exam Pre-anestesia bloodwork Extraction Teeth cleaning (included) Nail trimming (included) Post surgery meds Follow up visit if needed Valuecare........$265 VCA........$778.94-$973.68

Shady Oak Vet! We've been with Dr. Barb for 30 years, but the whole staff is amazing! http://www.shadyoakvet.com

Value care http://www.valuecarevet.com

@Valucare Vetrinary Clinic, 66 th and Bloomington.

All vets are expensive in the cities, but I love woodlake veterinary hospital, more specifically Dr. Godding

I take mine to Woodlake Vet. They have a program that you pay each month and then all of the routine visits are covered including teeth cleaning. I think it saves money. Check into it.

Best Friends Animal Hospital

That's where we took our last dog, Dr. Godding is great!!! Thanks for your ideas guys!

If you get the pet plan insurance all their shots and exams are included, that's what we do! We love our vet, he really loves and cares about all the fur babies. Vet partners vet hospital off York in Edina where Cub is (763) 337-4946, Dr Groth! And you know how picky I am!!!

It isnt in Richfield but...right on border. The animal hospital in the Cub Edina parking lot is amazing!!! The vet there is the nicest and kindest person, it is super clean, nice and small but homey feeling. Plus, with Chuck and Dons just a few doors down, it is a perfect location! I cant rememeber the Drs name but, there is only one and he and his assistants, i cant say enough about them.

Someone posted yesterday about Value Vet in Richfield- wth raving reviews!

I heard that Value Care Vet Clinic is reasonable....have not been there personally thou..

http://www.valuecarevet.com/ Richfiled Locations

Dr. Mary Schenk with Mobile Pet Doctor is great. She does house calls and is awesome. We've used her for about five years and have had a wonderful experience. http://www.gotvet.com/#2705

Do not got to Woodlake Veterinary Hospital. Terrible experience for me and my brothers dog as well. Also, rude and complacent after calling with concern after visits and surgeries.

I just switched to Valuecare vet as it was more an emergency type deal as out dog literally split his 4 th premolar.... The extraction only cost $200....i also paid $40 for the blood work to avoid anesthesia complications.....the Doc was awesome and we will be switching our other dog there next year.. They have all the vaccination costs listed on the website

Blue Cross on Lyndale and 54th.

I second Blue Cross on 54th and Lyndale. Great staff and saved my dogs life at least once

Dr Groth at Vet Partners is amazing! Very friendly, personable and loves animals!

I've had great luck at Blue Cross on Lyndale just north of 53th. Dr. Kathleen

Thank you so much for all your feedback, this group rocks! We have decided to go with Diamond Lake Animal Hospital, as they were overwhelmingly recommended here, and because many years ago when I still lived with my parents (we're talking the 80s/90s here

Do not take your pets to Best Friends! Dr. Gatto delayed insulin treatment for our cat and he ended up dying. He also pushed expensive, unnecessary "medicated" food that we decided against giving our dog and he is doing great without it. If you want a quality vet, go to Lake Harriet vet. They offer holistic treatment as well and their vets actually know something about nutrition (a lot of vets don't - it's an elective in vet school). It's too hard to explain all the details in one post, but if you care about your animals, avoid Dr. Gatto!

VCA Bloomington on Lyndale Ave

Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington.

All these good recommendations are another reminder for me of how strategically located Richfield is! We can get to Minneapolis, Edina, Bloomington, Mall of America, the airport, etc., all so easily, either by car or public transportation . . or in some cases, on foot, I am sometimes amazed over how many grocery options I have within about a mile and a half . . and likewise, good veterinarians, apparently! I will stick with Dr. Gatto at Best Friends as long as he is practicing. I hope he does not retire before the end of my (old) cats' lives because he has just been the best.

I agree! Diamond Lake is GOOD!

Went to Woodlake for years and they certainly are not what they used to be. Switched to Dr. Barb at Shady Oak (daughter highly recommended). I've found pricing to be considerably lower and Dr. Barb to be very meticulous and caring. Front desk people are sometimes not the friendliest but they don't take care of my dog. It's further away (169 & Mtka. Blvd.) but well worth it!

Woodlake was fine for us for the most part, until we had to put one of our cats down, and they didn't sedate her or do anything to make her comfortable before administering the "final" shot. My husband felt her tremble and jolt as the chemicals hit her, and it almost destroyed him. That left a pretty bad taste in our mouths. Also, as a side note, we just felt that maybe they could have been a little cleaner. Not a game changer, but after the other "event", it kind of stuck out. As a follow up to this thread, our visit to Diamond Lake Animal Hospital went well today. Much cleaner seeming than Woodlake, friendly staff, and Dr. Peterson was very kind, helpful, and had a very gentle bedside manner, especially with our particularly skittish cat. He explained what he was seeing throughout the examination, and made us feel like he cared. Now we're just waiting on some blood work, fingers crossed it's no big deal!

I recommend Caravan Vet. They are a mobile vet clinic and will come right to your door. Christa cared for our dog for 15 years and is the most compassionate and patient Vet you will find!!

Dr Michelle Rodgers Vaughn at Shady Oak is fantastic (and a proud Richfield resident!)

I've had good experiences at Diamond Lake Animal Hospital on Nicollet.

Diamond Lake on Nicollet. Dr Oakes called me more than once as I dealing with putting my elderly dachshund down last year and stayed on the phone as I struggled. He was compassionate and caring, and really stepped up as a good human being, not just a veterinarian. I am glad she had him as her caretaker in the end.

Also Diamond Lake. They're all family, it's a sweet little place.

Vet Partners in Edina by Cub Food. They pet Plains

Koreena Rose Eckert heres that post I was thinking of.

Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington.

Woodlake Veterinary Clinic has been great to our dogs over the years. I can't speak to their affordability because I haven't compared prices, but their vets are very knowledgeable and caring.

Diamond Lake Animal Hospital is the best! Dr. Oakes is so knowledgable and caring. He really is a dog/cat whisperer.

Upon further research I have decided to go with Lake Harriet Veterinary. Thank you all for your recommendations!

Diamond Lake has been in business for years and Dr. Oakes and the team are great.

Vet Partners in edina is amazing! Groth is an amazing doctor and they do cheap affordable pet plans

Woodlake Vet is good but very expensive. I was quoted about $1000.00 for my female to be spade. We ended up going to a vet in Hastings and paid less than $500.00 and it also included the price of having her chipped.

Southdale Pet Hospital. Reasonably priced and good, thoughtful veterinary care. They give you the options, the why behind them and their recommendation.

Woodlake vet has my vote! Dr. Godding is like my dog’s best friend. It’s adorable

I love Wolff Animal on 90 th and Penn. Incredible employees and they check around frequently to get the cheapest possible supplies for my dogs diabetes.

Woodlake in Richfield is an excellent Animal hospital as the staff there is very accommodating to your pet needs.

Hippie Dog is a Richfield company. www.ahippiedog.com and they offer class at Richfield Community Ed too.

Value Care Veterinary on 66 th and Bloomington.

Southdale Pet Hospital! We love it! We used Woodlake for many years until expensive procedures became more important than our dogs.

I like Dr. Groth at vet partners. Very kind and does a thorough job.

Wolff animal hospital www.wolffah.com

I take my guinea pigs to Cedar Vet Hospital on Cedar in Minneapolis. When we adopted our guinea pigs from a rescue, they gave us a list of good exotic pet vets and this one was listed and was the closest to us. I've only taken them in once but they seemed to know their stuff in regards to guinea pigs. They may be the same with birds.

I use Lexington Pet Clinic for my exotics (ferrets and snakes and tortoise)

These folks are the best with birds. http://valleyviewvet.com/

https://www.facebook.com/groups/richfieldmncommunity/permalink/1526347427419749/

We go to Best Friends Animal Hospital behind the Sonic on American. They've taken amazing care of our furbabies, and are reasonably priced, too.

VCA Animal Care Hospital on 66 th

Best Friends Animal Hospital in Bloomington (near Sonic), specifically Dr. Gatto. Highly recommend him to anyone.

Golden Valley clinic next to the humane society! Very reasonable. Just brought my dog in,$70. 2 meds, a topical spray, nail trim and a regular exam!

Valu on 66 th. Nicest vet
