Compare prescription pricing

Dr. Millet Is the kindest vet I have ever been too! My Persian cat Mateo has been going to him for years now. Cats can be very grumpy, but you can tell Dr.Millet cares so much and takes his time with them. He’s very informative and lets you know everything he’s doing. I never feel pressured into anything. Also never over charged or feel taken advantage of like many of the other vets in chalmette do. I refer everyone I know to bring their babies to Dr.Millet!

Dr. Millet is the kindness & most caring veterinarian my 13 yr old dog has seen. I discovered him a few years ago after having a horrible experience with a different vet in Stb parish. My girl had surgery there a few days ago and can’t say enough about how wonderful both Dr. Millet and the staff have been through this scary time. He’s meticulous yet very kind and caring. I appreciate his bedside manner and patience. I’ll definitely be recommending Chalmette Pet Wellness in the future

Dr. Jimmy is like the pet whisperer. He has accurately diagnosed our dogs without an exorbitant amount of testing like other vets, sometimes with no tests at all! He truly cares about the animals. They also very affordable. We drive from Metairie to Chalmette because we love this practice so much!

A few months ago I brought my fur baby here, Dr. Millet ran several test to try and figure out what’s was wrong, he sent me home with meds. I had to bring him back a couple of days later, went home with more meds and he recommended we see a specialist who wanted to see my baby the next day. My fur baby was in a lot of pain and the specialist is in Mandeville. My baby doesn’t like car rides and I knew he would be very nervous so before leaving the parish I called the office and spoke with the blond headed girl to ask if could I buy a couple squirts of the aromatherapy that they put on a towel and put in the cage with the fur baby to calm them down. She VERY rudely told me “NO, I won’t sell you a few squirts, I will sell you a bottle for $20”. I explained I didn’t need a whole bottle and she told me “that’s your problem”. I asked could she please ask the dr if I bring in a towel can I please buy a few squirts, her reply with attitude was “I’ll asked but I KNOW he’ll say NO”. I said “in a few days I spent nearly $700 there and you won’t sell me a few squirts?” Snapping at me she replied “NO but if you want I’ll ask the dr. but I know the answer. “ I said “yes please ask him” she said “I’ll call you back” and hung up the phone. I am still waiting for that phone call. I don’t know if she ever asked him and he actually said no or if she just blew me off. I was so upset being treated that way after spending so much money there and that she\they didn’t care that I had to drive 45 minutes to Mandeville with a nervous cat that was in pain and they wouldn’t help me to try and calm him for the long car ride. My daughter had a horrific experience with this girl this week but I’ll let her tell her own story.

Just switched to Dr. Millet and left feeling like I've made the right decision for my 10 yo baby. Dr. Millet was thorough, knowledgeable, and caring with Benson. He even gave Benson a "lollipop" at the end. His vet tech was also super caring and loving towards Benson. I have referred all of my friends and family to Dr. Millet. Thanks for treating my baby like your own!
