How to Save on Veterinary Costs at VetMED Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

I wouldn't send anyone here, they only can handle a easy job an diagnosis. I took my cat sonny boy here for a pre diagnosed problem from a very good vet in flint that recommended a full service. He was badly constipated and needed feces removed, vet med charged me for unnecessary things for 3 days and added up to over 800 dollars and after my cat left there place he couldn't walk he was in severe pain. They left a iv port in his paw an only sent stool softener home. after my cat wasn't getting up to go potty I took him back to flint, it resulted in him having to be put down because vet med didn't do their job of fixing him and my family is traumatized. Had to put our therapy pet down after paying 800 dollars to fix him and he was constipated. These pictures are of my poor babies state before he was put out of pain. I had to bath him everyday after leaving there office because he didn't have energy to get up🥺😢😭😩😿💔 I am totally unhappy with there services, and they don't handle problems either.

I've always had great service from the team here. Recently, my dog underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her paw. Dr. Moody did an incredible job of explaining every step of the procedure to me, Kyleigh gave a thorough rundown of each of the medications and aftercare steps, and David was very friendly and kind to me. I love that my dog and I have such a great place to receive care!

Our dog was a patient for about 8 years. She had no medical problems until one day she had difficulty breathing. After about a week of muscle weakness and repeated calls to the clinic with questions about her symptoms. I was told to bring her in if she had difficulty breathing.. I woke up and found her having great difficulty breathing and called for an appointment then was told it would be approximately 3 weeks. I explained the urgency of the matter and was told again there are no appointments. We took her to the clinic so that she could get emergency help. They refused to take a look at her or help her in any way (there were no dogs or humans in the waiting room at all and no one was waiting to bring their dog in). Are sweet dog ended up dying after 4 days at MSU of pneumonia. We can't help but think maybe she would have had more of a chance if they had helped us when we asked instead of making her suffer .It's a shame that you dedicate loyalty to a clinic and you trust them to take care of your drug for 8 years and then they won't help you in an emergency. I hope this helps another family to find a better vet for their dog that will help them if the dog needs emergency care.

Dr. Moody and the rest of the staff are hands down the best. They do their best to accommodate both you and your furry companions at an affordable price. Thanks for taking such good care of our dog! See you again soon!
