Late response but my neighbors took their dog here because they where the only ones to do a wired jaw on little animals. Well they paid over $500 for the surgery & when they took their dog back to their original vet he did X-rays because cedar vet never did X-rays to show the surgery was done right. Well when the X-ray's came out it showed NO WIRE in the jaw at all. So Cedar Animal vet lied & took their money for a surgery that was never preformed. Oh & also the receptionist was rude. I would give them a negative but won't let you.

I love the Animal Clinic they're very helpful they help my cat he's doing great after his business there and everybody is so nice and welcoming

I have been taking my animals to Cedar Animal Hospital for 16 years. Dr. Nauta is an amazing, knowledgeable and compassionate vet. I also love that he sees my reptiles. I can't say enough good about Cedar Animal Hospital!

I Cannot recommend this vet enough. I do breed specific rescue and he has save countless dogs in our rescue. His kindness and compassion as well as that of his staff is beyond compare. I know I tried many vets before settling in him and that was over 13 years ago. I have had many people call me crying because their dog is sick and the prices quoted for saving their dogs is far out of there reach. I always, without a doubt recommend Cedar Animal Hospital. I am grateful for having a vet that believes in giving all animals a chance. Thank you Cedar Animal Hospital.

When I took my dog in for her yearly exam, Dr. Nauta prescribed a medicine for my dog to treat the stiffness that she has had since she was a puppy. He told me it was safe, so he didn't give me a list of side-effects. My otherwise perfectly healthy dog suddenly started falling over and couldn't walk, nor could she control her bowels. I shared my concerns about the medicine with Dr. Nauta, and he said the medicine was safe, that something else was causing the problems. In the course of less than 2 weeks, my dog went from being fine to being a paraplegic. At that point, Dr. Nauta thought that she had developed degenerative myelopathy, a genetic disorder that causes similar problems, and that it had caused a years worth of degeneration in two weeks. When I looked on-line for the side effects to the medicine Dr. Nauta had prescribed, all of the side effects my dog experienced, including paralysis, were on the list. The medicine was not safe. Even if my dog does have the gene for degenerative myelopathy, the disease had not progressed, and was brought on by the medicine. Dr. Nauta has worked with my pets for years, and has always been considerate and responsible. Before this experience, I would have rated this veterinary hospital with at least 4-stars. However, my dog probably won't survive the month. The effects of Dr. Nauta's treatment, and his insistence that his treatment had nothing to do with her rapid demise is unacceptable. That is what earned him a 1-star rating. Professionals make mistakes, just like everyone else, but it in necessary to acknowledge them and do everything possible to fix those mistakes and make sure nothing like it happens again. From our discussions, I have every reason to believe that Dr. Nauta will continue prescribing Rimadyl and declaring it safe, without including a list of potential side effects. If I had known the potential side effects, I would have taken my girl off of it the second day, and she would not be having these problems.

DO NOT USE THIS VET! Only gave a star because it would not let me take that one too! Anyone looking for a vet in the Cedar Springs, MI area I just want to let people know a tiny portion of what happened with my babies and friends. I have a 7 and 9 year beagle they are my children anyway you look at it basically my life, I went to this VET their whole life, just in the last 6 months I was getting really tired of the flipant attitude and what I felt was a lack of compassion or care. I changed to a new vet and at the first appointment I found out that My 7 year old Sammy had a heart murmur which about killed me and to find out that the new Vet felt it probably came from a lack of care on my Vet's part at Cedar Animal Hospital I was so upset to say the least, I just found out that a friend of mine that also took her baby to Cedar Animal Hospital just got diagnosed with congestive heart failure that was not treated or diagnoised for a year. She went to a new VET and he stated that she was getting a lack of oxygen her tongue was purple and her heart rait was thru the roof, he put her on new meds and within two weeks her tongue was pink and her heart rait came down considerably. I would never tell anyone where they should go but felt it my duty to WARN people so that heaven forbid one of their babies died from something like this. Thank you for your time and hope this will help future animal lovers to not suffer the same fate my baby now has to deal with.

Very nice place. Great Staff! Great with birds! I would recommend these people to anyone!
