The reception staff is often too busy chatting or eating to acknowledge you came in. I brought my cats here until one of my cats who was taken to the back for a "weight and temperature" and while he was back there, the vet looked at him, and lanced his abscess without any sedation or pain medication and without my knowledge or consent. I was horrified. I was told "it was painful, but he was good." That isn't acceptable! I never went back.

It's the old adage: you get what you pay for. Went there for a long time several years ago. Were very busy then too - only drawback is the wait. But, you wait a long time at the animal emergency clinic too and if you want to see high prices, try going there. The wait time at Shaker is usually due to taking in emergencies including strays that have been hit, etc. Very compassionate and knowledgeable vets.

Never EVER take your rabbit to this practice. The vets are NOT familiar with rabbit medicine, despite saying they are. They were responsible for the negligent death of my pet - Dr. Krause. BEWARE.

I used to go to this vet before moving far away. This week I needed emergency svcs. for my kitty who was gravely ill. My (now former) vet refused to see him this week without charging me Xtra for the visit. I called Central Vet and although I hadn't been there in 2 years they told me to bring him right in and saw him ASAP. I always loved this vet, and now I know why. I will be making the extra drive from now on; it's well worth it knowing my animals will be getting the best care possible from a wonderful staff.
They were so caring and supportive when they told me I would have to put him to sleep. It was a hard, sad day, and they made it as good of an experience as possible. THANK YOU Central Vet.

Dr Hardaker and her staff are the best. They not only care about the animals they treat, they also do a lot to help with rescued and stray animals when a lot of other vets do NOTHING! I love these people!

THEY ALSO CARE FOR RABBITS AND PROBABLY OTHER SMALL ANIMALS they are in the process of building what appears will be a beautiful addition which will enhance the facility and hopefully make it a little quicker to get every pet into a private waiting room even if you have to wait a bit you always know you will be given the time you want I HAVEN'T COMPARED THEIR PRICES TO OTHER VETS IN THE AREA I BELIEVE THEY ARE SIMILAR FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER PET OWNERS LIKE EVERYTHING WE HAVE TO PAY FOR YOU WISH IT COULD BE CHEAPER THOSE WHO ANSWER PHONES AND GREET YOU WHEN YOU ARRIVE ARE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND HELPFUL THEY ARE CONVENIENTLY LOCATED AND SO SUPPORTIVE TO PET OWNERS AND COMPASSIONATE TO THE PETS

Have had good luck and great treatment with my dogs there, even boarded there. Would love to see a run area for boarding added instead of walking. Was a bit unhappy with one of the vet's treatment of my cat with UTI, Dr. Hardaker solved the problem.

They are the greatest group of people I have ever met. When my min pin was ill with pneumonia, they made sure that he received the best care and worked with the emergency hospital to get him care at night when they werent there. They cared about him as if he was their own family member. Even now that we have moved out of state, they still ask my parents how he is doing every time they bring their dog in. They go out of their way to make sure their patients are receiving the best care possible!
