My 6 year old cat died after being seen by a vet in this clinic. My cat had kidney issues and was having trouble breathing. That vet made it seem like it wasn't a big deal, saying she should be better in a couple of days. I trusted her opinion. I left feeling my cat would be okay and kept thinking...a couple days. The vet gave her steroids and antibiotics and then okayed her to have subQ fluids, which the technician gave to her. My cat died within 22 hours, suffocating to death. After researching, I 100% believe any other vet would have known to hold off on the fluids since she was only getting fluids once a week. When I brought her back the next morning, the vet who saw her then knew instantly that she was drowning. She died within 20 minutes of walking in the door. I just wish to god he would have seen her first. This was the worst experience of my life. I can never have my girl back. Never, ever trust 1 vet's opinion. It's too late of a lesson for me to learn now. It's my fault for trusting 1 person's opinion.

These people are awesome, they are wonderful to my animals and very resonably priced. I will always do business with them. They are available for emergencies and walk ins as well.

We have been going to CB VET for many,many yrs. now...have had" issues" with some of the other vets there,but never w/Dr Michael! He is very compassionate & takes all the time in the world with you, as if your animal is his only patient! Vets are like any other profession...some good...some bad, but I only have high praise for Dr Michael!!! :)

I have been going to this vet clinic for years, and will never switch. They have always been available to me for whatever I needed, no matter when. I have taken my dogs, cats, lizards, chinchillas, and even some baby bunnies to them. Recently, I have been working extensively with Dr. Sitzmann for one of my dogs, and could not ask for better. He is beyond thorough and is a wealth of knowledge. The clinic is walk-in, so you can go in whenever you want.

We have been going to the clinic since we got our dog 13 years ago. The last year we had a rough time getting a diagnosis to our dog's problems. We saw Dr. Michel. He was very good with our dog and took the time to explain to us what was going on. So now we only see Dr. Michael at the clinic.

Took my 12 y/o baby there to be diagnosed with breast cancer, without a biopsy or even getting a good look at the mass. He also said it in a very non compassionate way like "oh yea, that's breast cancer!" as if he had only seen this in text books and was excited to see it for the first time. The vet stated he was 98% sure it was malignant and gave her 1 week to a month to live. After researching on the internet and seeing that the statistics are 50% malignant and 50% benign, I can now say that this vet is a quack to be able to diagnose without a biopsy, is he psychic? My dog acts no different then she did when she was a pup and I am truly in shock that she would just be ready to go that quickly. I also mentioned that she might have diabetes, she has all the symptoms, he gave me an antibiotic and said she probably had a urinary infection - he did no blood or urine tests. I'm taking her to Strohben clinic for 2nd opinion, these guys are quacks!!
