I took my dog here after going to one of those shot clinics. My dog had an allergic reaction and when I called the place that gave the vaccines, they said I should find a vet to see my dog (I thought the vet that gave the shot would see me, but I found out they didn't have an office). I was surprised this vet took me on short notice, because I never went there before. They were nice and didn't make me feel guilty. they saved my dog.. I am never going to use a low cost clinic again. I will keep going here instead.

My dog has been going there for all of her 12 years. She loves her visits and still looks and acts like a puppy. I feel it is because the doctors and employees treat her well. they don't push vaccines and that's good because she was allergic to the first ones she received. She does get regular adjustments from Dr. Maro and we believe it keeps her young and active. She is a Labrador and has no arthritis. My husband and are on a fixed income and the Dr. always works with our budget to do what we can afford. we are so happy to have found such a great vet, and so close. We love seeing the other pets and meeting their parents, who come from hours away (we met people from Altoona and Maryland who drive to see Dr. Maro). I hate when people don't use these review sites to rate service, care and knowledge. If they used those measures, there is no way this place and group should have less than 5 stars all the way.

I have seen the reviews and I was very surprised! I have been going to Chippewa Animal Hospital and Dr. Maro ever since the Chippewa office opened. I have taken many pets there and I can't say enough about the care they have given my pets over the years. Of course, all vet practices are for-profit, so that isn't even the issue. There were times I could not afford all the recommended tests/procedures, and I would always ask what is the most important, and we would go from there. I had a dog with multiple issues that lived much longer than predicted and that was absolutely because of Dr. Maro. Also, I have found them to be caring and compassionate - all the technicians have known my pets and have treated them like their own - decreasing the fear factor of going to the vet. While I understand that sometimes money is an issue, and I know that can cause an owner to feel guilty because they cannot afford the care their animal may need, but that is in no way a reflection on the veterinarian. I am extremely happy with the care I have received and will continue to go to Dr. Maro as long as she is in business or as long as I am alive!

Seem to only be after $$$. Come in with one issue & that soon turns into another possibly life threatening problem complete with expensive tests needed weekly! $3000 later, I must admit I feel duped. They wanted me to come in every other day!! Words like "mass," "cancer," "organ failure" are all thrown at you, seemingly to scare you. Sure, to scare as much money as possible from my wallet! My own research, vitamins, supplements made my cat get better, only to become sicker after each treatment there, which suspiciously are not allowed to be observed by the owner of the pet. This applies to all their locations. They're for wealthy people, really wealthy people, not average folks. Oh well.

I took my 11 year old Shepard lab mix to Chippewa animal hospital because he lost all mobility in his hind legs. Blood work and X-rays done. He was diagnosed with lymes disease. Was given meds and probiotics. My dog ended up being allergic to the meds and broke out in hives which resulted in him itching scratching and chewing himself to shreds. At the follow up appointment, Dr.Maro said well he's having a reaction to something, let's try something else. Well the only thing he could be allergic to is what was he prescribed, Again more $$ and meds. Still nothing was helping him. I called and asked for the antibiotics to be switched, they did that however, it was basically the same medicine, just its sister drug. Still, nothing was helping, I asked about giving Benadryl, and she said no, without a reason. My poor dog is literally crawling out of his skin. Needless to say, I gave Benadryl anyways. This morning I said enough is enough, she knew my dog was allergic to the meds so you prescribe him the sister medicine?? This place is a rip off and frankly I don't think she knows what she is doing. I had my dogs record transferred to another vet. I went to the new vet this morning, and they are shocked that Dr.Maro didn't give him pain meds to help him calm down and asked why would she put him on a sister drug that is going to react the same way. The new vet is compassionate and wants my dog to improve and not just take my money and have my dog suffer. DO NOT GO TO THIS VET!! She is money hungry and frankly doesn't care.

VERY BAD experience! They completed numerous services, procedures, and tests that were not needed and/or even related to the original symptoms for my pet. All of their services, medications, and even pet supplies are ridiculously overpriced. THIS A FOR PROFIT BUSINESS ONLY! They also seem driven to recommend long term and even alternative treatments and services in order to continue milking their customers for cash. Also, I felt like they were using "guilt" as a leverage tool to persuade me into purchasing additional unnecessary and very expensive tests and services for my sick pet. Their business practices seemed more centered on making a buck rather than providing care for helpless animals. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFIT DRIVEN COMPANY TO ANYONE!
