I have a problem with one of the Veterinarians at this clinic. She appears to lack experience treating cats. I took my cat to this vet in September and was told that he was in the beginning stages of heart failure. She gave me diuretic and blood pressure medication to give him. Then, he got sick again, and I took him back in and, she told me he had pancreatitis, and she wanted to put an IV for fluids for 24 hours. I felt like they wanted to charge me too much, so I called another clinic and that clinic said that it would kill him to put him on fluids if he has a heart condition. The next day my cat was better. Nonetheless, I was still concerned, so I took him to the other vet and was given enzymes in case he had pancreatitis. This doctor said there was not anything in his records from the Mukwonago Animal Hospital to indicate he had this condition. This was strange because the doctor at MAH said he had Pancreatitis. The doctor thought his heart sounded fine, but assumed he was diagnosed correctly, so I continued to give him the heart medication. Two months later, I called Mukwonago Animal Hospital to let them know he still was not doing well, but I never received a phone call back from the Veterinarian. I believed it was because of one of the trans-dermal heart medications, so I started giving my cat the medication orally instead of rubbing it on ear. Soon after this, I took him to the other vet to get his nails clipped. I mentioned to the veterinarian that he was not eating well, and she looked at his records. This was another doctor, and after looking at My cats records and listening to his heart, she was puzzled as to why he was diagnosed as having a heart problem. She told me that she would like to do more testing on him. They did X rays and still did not believe he had a heart condition. His health continued to decline quickly the next few days. I took him to the Emergency clinic, and they did an Ultrasound of his heart and said his heart was normal. They found out he had a mass in his colon. My cat died.

All of the doctors agreed that the diuretic and and the blood pressure medicine did not help him and could have helped to hasten his death. This Veterinarian apparently does not have enough experience treating cats. She needs to go back to Vet school.

We have been going to this clinic since they opened. During this time they have cared for the many pets we have had. This is a very caring group of people. We love Dr. Herlugson and find him to be very kind and gentle with our pets. We would recommend this clinic to anyone.

I have been taking my 3 rat terriors here for many many years. i would highly recommend this veterinary clinic. very friendly staff, and we love Dr Herlugson. The staff are attentive, friendly and hard working. i dont have a bad thing to say about this place. they truly seem to care about their jobs. I consider myself lucky to have a place as great as this to take our dogs to.

When I take my dog to Mukwonago Animal Hospital I know he is receiving the best, most compassionate care in the hands of the staff and doctors at the facility. My questions and concerns are answered and addressed in an informed and easy to understand manner. Even though I live in Milwaukee, I choose to make the drive to Mukwonago for veterinary service rather than visiting a vet that is closer to home because I trust that my dog is receiving the highest standard of care at Mukwonago Animal Hospital.

Our experiences with the all the vets at Mukwonago Animal Hospital have been extremely positive. They are, by far, the most caring and compassionate animal doctors we have ever known. We feel good about the care our dogs get at this facility and our dogs seem comfortable with lower stress levels than past vet visits. I read the other comments and have never found the receptionists or office staff to be anything but friendly. A few of them acknowledge our dogs when we arrive and inquire about their overall well-being. Based on our great experience, we recommended Mukwonago Animal Hospital to family and friends and they, too, are very pleased with the service and care of their pets.
