The receptionists are terrific, but the care I received for my 15-year cat who had bladder cancer was sad. She was diagnosed and then prescribed a medication that I couldn't find for cancer, only for pain. I thought we were treating her cancer, but found that wasn't the case. I gave her medication religiously and she seemed to be doing well on it. I called in for a refill and thought it was weird because the dose was huge in comparison to what had been prescribed before. I did not give it to her and took it with me when I had her in and found it was a dog dosage and would have killed her. I hadn't noticed anything, but was told she had some thicker discharge so they wanted to do a "flush". I trusted them and said okay. They did it and she bit a tech. This cat has never even hissed, never bites or complains - even at the vet. I was never told that she had bit anyone - "we flushed until she told us she had had enough." I took my sweet girl home and she hemorrhaged all over. I ended up having to put her to sleep. My family said it was like night and day - brought her home and she was instantly done. Yes, the cancer would have gotten her in the end, but she suffered following this "treatment" and I'm so sad that I placed my trust in them and "let" this happen to my sweet little 15-year old friend. I will NEVER go to another vet that takes my pet away to the back for every little thing. It's more stressful for my pets and I can't see what's being done - I know my pet's behavior and could have said that's enough. When I needed to put her down, I called to see when I could do this, which is so difficult. After making the appointment, I was called back and told they couldn't do it because she had bitten the tech - this is the first I had heard of it. I was told that I'd have to take her to the UofM to get her tested for rabies. We were already to the 10 days, so I went with an in-home euthanasia - wonderful people!! I also had to put my dog down the end of June, and now I question how that evolved. She was given no medication to treat her kidney disease - only prescription food. Take this how you will. Just my latest experience..... I will not return.

Barrington oaks is my go to vet for my various animals, I switched to them a couple years ago since most vets don’t see exotics and I want all my pets to go to the same place. The vets, vet techs, and secretary staff are all wonderful and caring, you can tell they truly care for the animals that walk through the door and work hard everyday to give the best care!

For those of Elk River who are unaware (like I was), all strays or caught house cats that get brough in do not go to Barrington in town here, they go to Monticello. Apologies for any misinformation. And thank you Barrington for the help! Thank you for the correction. It is a relief to hear your company did not do this. Where do the strays of Elk River go then? Is there a way to improve the situation for the strays and house cats that get brought in. I was told the cats were brought in to Barrington after being caught in live animal traps and were put down because they were not chipped (if that is the case for any veterinary hospital, that's just sad and I feel for my neighbors that lost their family). The neighbors that did this to them are definitely no longer trusted in my neighborhood. (we live in a wild area; they should expect wildlife... not destroy it) Previous Post, please disregard as I have been corrected- Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm under the understanding this is a "kill" shelter for the "strays" of elk river. Well it sounds like you guys killed my neighbors cat... shame on you. Maybe change your policies or something because that is heartbreaking and you won't be receiving any more good word from me until I hear otherwise

As a person who's skeptical and anxious, I was very nervous to try a new vet for my leopard geckos. The staff answered every and all of my questions, and addressed every concern. They provided recommendations and took great care to make my gecko healthy again. Thank you all again, Viktor is thriving. Would highly recommend for reptiles.

With the knowledge I learned from working 25. Years at Barrington I saved puppies during birth on top of the mom. I also saved the leg on one of our dogs with my knowledge. I can't say enough about the Dr's and staff there. I am retired now but miss working there. Some people complain about the prices but check around there all in the same ball park and I have always said you get what you pay for. Everything they have is so up to date. The staff are awsome and the Dr's are so knowledgeable and show nothing but love and care for the animal's. Good luck everyone I loved working there. I miss everyone 4 legged and 2 legged.
