    We lost our Golden at 10 years old, Charlie, and all the staff were so comforting and helpful. The doctor I will never forget! EVER! The most gracious , sympathetic human being. Thank you so much for everything you did to care for our precious puppy.

    I cannot say enough good things about this place. If it weren’t for Dr. Fosdick and their team fitting my dog in for emergency surgery this morning, she would have passed away. Everyone was so quick to help our dog and was so kind / gentle. You can rely on everyone here for the most amazing care for your pet. My family is so grateful! ❤️

    Howell Animal Hospital used to be great. My dog was dying, and I brought her to Howell animal hospital for help. The vet didn’t even bother examining her, and said she would be fine if we had her eye removed because she had a ruptured cornea. Didn’t really make sense, but gave me hope, and even though she suggested the surgery, they wouldn’t do it until the covid restrictions were up. My poor dog suffered hard for another 2 weeks, and we decided to take her to an emergency vet. They actually took the time to examine her, and they said her cornea was not only not ruptured, it was the least of her problems. I felt horrible, she suffered so much from the incompetence of the vet in Howell. I wouldn’t recommend the vet we had to an enemy. No animal should suffer like that. They did send a sympathy card, but what they did was horrible.
