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.

Dr. Barnett and staff are amazing veterinarians. Not only are they great with animals, they are priced significantly less than every vet in Windsor/Essex County. My family and I have had pets for many years. We always assumed that pet supplies/medications were very expensive for the clinics to purchase until we discovered Barnett Veterinarian... Every other vet in our area: "Pay the lease on my Mercedes or else I will not help your beloved suffering animal. Oh and I don't care that your pet is totally up to date on their shots and you have the documentation to prove it. Since you haven't been here before, that will be an extra $150-- how else would I be able to afford premium fuel?!?!" It's really nice to know that there is ONE veterinary service out there that still actually cares about the animals!!! Thank you for putting the animals first Dr. Barnett!!!!

Dr. Barnett is such a wonderful kind man! What a fantastic veterinarian with great prices. I wish I had known about him sooner. He was so gentle and thoughtful with my elderly dog. If I could give him 100 stars I would!

A common sense approach to caring for your family pet. Relationship-centered care that is reassuring.

Dr Barnett is not my regular vet but was the ONLY vet in the area that was able to help us on a Sunday in a time of need. Cleared his schedule to help us out. Was very kind, patient and overall wonderful given the circumstances. Thanks for going above and beyond to help our baby girl.

Very kind and experienced vet. The clinic is nothing fancy, but the prices are great and so is the service. We received the care and attention we were hoping for. Our doggie agrees with all his 4 paws, too! 💚
