Mesaba Animal Hospital

Drs. Kalinowski and Keller are two of the most thorough, professional, caring, and knowledgeable veterinarians I’ve ever found. Their service sets the standard by which all others should be measured. I don’t know if it’s possible to find a more devoted, caring vet than Dr. Kalinowski. He has considerable experience, a gentle temperament, and a great mind at puzzling out difficult situations. My cats loved Drs. Kalinowski and Keller, and Dr. Keller was fantastic about giving me care options right up until the end. I have two new cats and have moved 80 minutes away. There are several vets within 15 minutes. But I’m thinking about making the drive; they’re that good. I forgot to mention that their follow up on how your pet is doing is fantastic, and it feels like they are a true partner in my pets’ health care. And somehow, they do all this while providing service at an incredibly reasonable price (in comparison to other vets I’ve seen). Bravo.

I had brought my geckos to this vet because they were the closest vet I have that does exotics. He had an injury to his tail. I brought him in because I pulled out a large lump of hard wax. When I brought him in, the vet didn't say much, just said to watch the injury and put some antibiotics on it. Then I brought in a different gecko, she had an injury on her mouth. The vet told me, "it could be abything" and "you should watch the injury" well no duh. I will be traveling else where for my exotics.

I took my Schnoodle to this place as she was having complications with delivery of her puppies. They took an x-ray to find out she had 2 puppies stuck. Dr. K said she would need an emergency CSection but needed $650 up front. We didn't have that to give him. So, we offered to give him $200 then pay the rest later. He said they can't do that. When asked what we're supposed to do, he basically said take her and the stuck puppies home to die. I will NEVER go there again!!!!!
