★★★★★ My pups have only received care at this clinic. From the front desk and up to the treatment areas, the care, the welcome, the respect for your concerns, is exemplary. Very clean, too. But the only negative is the parking, it's on a very busy public street. I'd recommend if possible to have someone drive, while the passenger is able to take their pup(s) for care into the clinic. Drivers in the area are inattentive, rushing, and speeding.Toni A.Toni A. ★★★★★ Extremely friendly and Helpful... I'm HAPPY to say that Our Willow FINALLY has a VeterinarianLisa N.Lisa N. ★★★★★ I needed some help collecting urine from my cautious chiwawa. He wasn't having any of it.

We saw her at a previous clinic and when she was no longer there and we had misdiagnosis I immediately did some research to find where she was. It's worth the drive from Menomonee falls to see her.

He is such a handsome sweet Shiba,. For years, he suffered from unknown allergy, he lost a lot of fur and had no appetite to eat... We tried all kind of regimens: best fish oil, chia seed, wheat grass, probiotic etc. He wasn’t doing any better. When we took him for check up with Dr Lyon two weeks ago, she ordered stool test, next day, the office called and told us my dog had a kind of parasite. After taking the medication from doctor office within a week, most of my dog’s problems are gone, his fur is fluffy and soft, the bald spot has fur coming out... We saw quite a few veterinarians in the past, Dr. Lyon is the only vet asking to do stool test, we appreciate her knowledge and kindness!Jerri W.Jerri W. ★★★★★ My father had a really hard time when his long time best friend Lamb passed away (we all did). This was compounded by his dementia (which the staff did not know); it was hard for him to accept, he asked and re-asked lots of questions and had an awful lot he needed to share and get off his chest every time he called and the final time we came in to pick up our buddy's cremation remains. The entire staff, with special thanks to the front desk staff who took many calls from my father, treated him with nothing but loving patience and genuine concern. I don't think they realize how they played a huge part in making such a difficult situation a little more easy. Thank you!!!L GL G ★★★★★ They are great. Treat the dog like family.Ben K.Ben K. ★★★★★ Compassion, Caring, KnowledgeKathleen R.Kathleen R. ★★★★★ Very courteous and friendly and professional. No high pressure to conduct expensive testing - but the options are presented competently. Plus, they love my dog, so who doesn't love that?!Pam H.Pam H. ★★★★★ Walking in as a worried cat owner, I was immediately put at ease. The staff was so good and kind to my sick cat.

The team at the Center for Animal Health takes great care of our pets and does a great job of remembering things from previous visits. They explain needs well and have good conversations that lead to health care questions we might not have thought of otherwise.

BEST VET around. We’ve been going here just over a year now and could not be happier with the people and the experience at CFAH! After relocating from out of state with a fleet of 5 pets I was a bit nervous about the process of finding a new vet. I was so lucky to find CFAH online. Every single person here is awesome, they’re all knowledgeable and very kind.

Dee C.

We have been coming here for a while when our dogs are sick and service is great. Yesterday though was a different routine, yesterday I had an emergency with one of my dogs and the reaction from everyone was quick. They treated him immediately and was updated often on the case. Everyone was sweet and helpful. I’m so thankful for this staff.

Daniela D.

I love how conveniently located they are and how easy it is to get an appt due to their extended hours. All vet techs and vets are very friendly and take their time with you. They’re also very patient with one of our fur babies who would rather strangers not poke, prod, or even *look* at her, and who is basically a contortionist with needles for hands.

Jackie L.

Our pets deserve the best, and the Center for Animal Health offers the highest level of care. The staff cares. They have the experience and knowledge of course, but they are also fun, professional, and compassionate. They are down to earth and are dedicated to taking care of fur babies and their owners.
