Jones Veterinary Hospital

Just had to put my beloved dog of 17 years down. I was treated with respect and understanding, and the price was more than fair!! If I ever adopt again, I will be taking my pet here.

Dr Jones's vet clinic feels like a country vet straight out of James Herriot. It is an old farmhouse just north of BG on Main Street (Dixie Highway) with wood floors & doesn't smell like a vet clinic. I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Jones lives upstairs.



The staff was excellent, from the lady who scheduled my kitten's appointment on the phone to the girl who took him from me when I dropped him off, to the cashier who took my money. Great techs, they called him by name & reassured me that he would be all right after they hacked his balls off.



He's a stray who followed me home & demanded I take care of him, even though I tried to tell him I already had a cat & 2 cats is 2 too many for my 300 square foot apartment... Neuter, all vaccinations, pre-anesthesia blood work, & a microchip was only $200USD, certainly a fair price for the work. The neuter was half the price that the Wood County Humane Society would charge...



My little dude healed just fine within a week & was back to his old self faster than I expected. His incisions healed wonderfully, & the stitches dissolved as they should have. Technically, Dr. Jones does great work, he's a helluva vet; they even trimmed his claws(which were problematic - he scratches everything!) down when he was under without me asking!



I have 4 complaints, though, for which I deduct 2 stars.



1.) I didn't meet Dr. Jones. I love my kitties & would have liked to at least see the man who was going to cut my little buddy up...



2.)The paperwork I received after the surgery was half-assed. They listed his age as 2.5 years & that can't be right, based on how much he's grown in the 8 weeks I've had him. Other fields in his personal information form were simply left blank, as if they didn't care to do the paperwork. A human cannot leave things blank when they visit a hospital, it should not be acceptable to leave things blank at a vet clinic.



3.) The exam room is right next to the cashier's desk. I took my cat to Dr. Jones on the recommendation of my friend, a professor at BGSU, & he tells me that last time his little buddy got sick he paid the bill while watching an elderly couple's elderly cat be euthanized. Call me crazy, but I think that heartbreaking moment should be a little more private than that. At least close the door...



3.) My cat came back with fleas. I had him for 5 weeks when I brought him in for surgery & he's a cuddly little guy. The morning after I brought him home from Dr. Jones I woke up with 7 flea bites in a nice flea line on my torso. My other cat (she has much thicker & softer fur - both are indoor-only cats) still has major dermatitis on her neck and ears, 3 weeks later. Flea collars have mostly solved the issue & I haven't been bitten since that first night. Call me crazy again, but I think a cat shouldn't come back from the Vet with fleas; just like a human shouldn't come back from the clinic with MRSA...



All in all an excellent experience, service-wise, but I will not be bringing my female to Dr. Jones for her annual vaccinations in November. Here's hoping (& I REALLY want to believe) that the fleas were an anomaly, but I'm not willing to risk it.

We have had him as our pet's vet for the last 16 years. He is kind, answers all of our questions, and doesn't try to rush us out the door. I would recommend him to everybody.

Dr Jones is awesome and so are his prices. I called them for the first time when my kitty was having trouble urinating. They urged me to bring him in right away because his problem could be fatal. I bought my kitty in right away & Dr jones was straight forward with me in the possible outcomes that could happen with my cat. But thank gosh he ended up alright and Dr Jones saved him. They are the most reasonable priced vet I have ever been to!

I am a college student who can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars every time I need shots. Dr. Jones is cheap and truly cares about your pet. When my puppy got his rabies shot he was having a reaction. I called at 11:00 PM and left a voicemail stating my concerns and he called me back within the half hour offering help and even said I can bring him back in if I continue to be concerned throughout the night. Truly cares and he was very helpful! Would recommend to anyone with a pet.

I took my cat...which was loosing all her fur..to Dr Jones and his solution was purrfect!!! She is now a beautiful furry black cat!!

I resuced 2 kittens an 1 got sick on a weekend and before i was even a clint of Dr. Jones he called me back over the weekend and helped me out with the kittens, Took them to him the following Monday and he told his time and told me what was the problem and now he is my vet for all my Kitty Kats...........

Its not a HUGE fancy vet clinic like a lot of them are. However, his prices are great and you honestly can tell he is into his work because he loves the animals not just for a good paycheck like some clinics I have been into. Per example my dog got ill and he was on call all hrs if I need or was worried about anything......not for a charge just because he cared. He's a RARE find!
