This is by far the best veterinarian I've ever been too, both Bonnie and Dr.ash are very friendly and I've never been more confident that a vet office actually cares about my animals, they are both very well educated and every step they take to help your pet is explained so that you know exactly what's happening and why, Belleville animal hospital is the best

I'm an avid writer of reviews and always give credit where it's due. Dr. Ash is the very best that I've ever seen as a vet HANDS DOWN!!! And believe me, I've been to many a vet's office over the years. From the moment we walked in until the second we left, myself and my pet were made to feel important. Not only was Dr. Ash very attentive and express genuine concern over my dog's condition, he took the time to explain from A to Z the cause of my pet's ailment but provided a proactive approach to his recovery. With medications and a recommended new DIET, just a couple of days now and my dog is 100% better than what he was. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to both Dr. Ash and Bonnie, you guys have restored my faith in veterinary care! See you soon on the follow-up appointment. :-)

Overcharged me for a 10 minute visit, where all he did was give us an ointment. The "receipt" claims he did an exam and a cleaning, in addition to the cost of the ointment. The charges on the receipt weren't provided until after I paid, even though I had asked about it before payment. Find somewhere else to go unless you want to pay additional charges.

Bonnie and Dr. Ash are our angels sent from heaven above! One night, my dog, Bob, woke up crying in constant pain. I called my vet immediately, just to be told they didn't have any availability until August and referred me to a 24-hour emergency animal hospital. After spending 10 hours (and $1,000) at the hospital, they were unable to give me a confirmed diagnosis and sent him back home with some pain killers. It worked for one day. Then the crying, pain, and symptoms all came back, even worse this time. He wasn't drinking or eating and wasn't able to urinate or have bowel movements. I reached out to the hospital, just to be told all they could do is run more tests and schedule a sonogram in a week. That was completely unacceptable so I began looking for a doctor that can provide help and answers. That's when I came across Belleville Animal Hospital. Probably sounding like a paranoid frantic pet owner from 3 days and nights of no sleep with my baby constantly crying in pain, I began pleading and begging hoping that they would be able to help. Bonnie and Dr. Ash empathized with my worries and concerns and agreed to see Bob immediately. After a couple of hours, Dr. Ash was able to explain and educate me, in detail, on his diagnosis and list other possible ailments Bob might have. They went above and beyond to help my baby feel better. Dr. Ash gave me the exact type of medications to take home to keep helping Bob get better, not just a bunch of weak painkillers to mask the underlying issues like the hospital did. We received answers, results, a course of action, and more support from the two hours spent with Bonnie and Dr. Ash than the 2 days of going back and forth with the emergency hospital. I know Bob is still ill and the treatment is going to take a while. But for me and Bob to finally be able to rest comfortably day and night with no more crying, and his appetite for food and water get back to normal, is nothing short of a miracle!
