Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

IF YOU HAVE A RABBIT DO NOT BRING THEM HERE last year i brought my rabbit ronald to this vet. she had started going into what i thought was gi-stais. obviously i was quite worried because gi-statis is very serious. first they brought her to the back without us and did a “microscope” of her poop (which i seriously doubt they actually did) and told us she had coccidia and set us home with antibiotics.(you don’t need antibiotics for parasites.) she never got better and her uterus about two days later prolapsed and we had to rush her to the fargo emergency vet, and after $1,200 and three failed surgery’s we had to put her down. and at the emergency vet they confirmed she in fact never had coccidia. if they had actually put time into her care and after i did further research they should of at least prescribed something completely different for her gi-statis. how dare they claim they take in small animals like rabbits and not care about their real care. now i am stuck with debt and am still completely heartbroken after all this time. i am completely devastated and disgusted to this day. so please if you love and care for your rabbits NEVER come here.

I am so grateful for this place! I have hedgehogs and when 1 had an issue, I was relieved that there was someone local who would treat him. All the staff was so kind and helpful.

Have had good experiences here, not sure what others are saying about being "fee oriented", most vets in town are. I needed a neuter on a Bengal cat (there are some sensativity issues with this breed to anesthesia), Dr kraker had experience with this breed. Plus this was the ONLY vet clinic that would give me a FIRM price on the neuter. (Seriously call around and ask, you'll find out what I mean!) I was on a strict budget at that time and didn't need Any "surprise" fees. Bengals are also not the nicest when out of their element, they handeled him very well. On A different visit, my other Bengal got into some human prescription meds that we dropped on the floor and could not find... he was so "out of it" when I found him, rushed him in, Dr kraker came back from an out of town call and started treating him immediately. Took him home with him that night to continue treatment all night long.... my cat is fine BTW.... no ill effects or damage. I felt he went above and beyond for my cat. It was expensive, I expected that -but not out of line by any means.

Dr. Kraker, Jill, and all his staff have always treated us well and gotten our dogs in quickly whenever an emergency arises. I am so thankful to have them in our community. While some reviews say they are expensive, they always are caring, respectful, quick for emergencies, fast call backs, etc. That is all worth it to me. I don’t believe their prices are much different than other vets in Alexandria (maybe compared to rural vets they are a bit more). We will continue with them as I have never had any problems; from our recent tumor surgery down to basic shots and nail trims.

Great Docs and nurses. They treated my dog with love and kindness. They are more affordable than some other places in town with the high price treatment still. I love this place and would definitely recommend it. Our pooch also seems to love it there. Thanks for a great service.
