Doc Henning has taken care of our 4 dogs for the last 25 years, including some very difficult situations. He, and his staff, is always thorough, honest and caring. I highly recommend Gretna Animal Clinic.

Have been taking my senior chihuahua mix to Dr. Henning for just under 3 years. I have felt pretty comfortable with him in that time, until last week when my girl was gravely ill. His bedside manner has always been so so, but I always felt he was knowledgeable and was going to take good care of her. Last week though, his bedside manner was terrible and he did not take good care of her. He basically said she was fine (although she was not) and to keep giving her lasex which she was not responding well to after 3 days of uae and to not feed her anything other than kibble ever, even though she was in severe distress and had vomited 10 times. He even went so far as to say, 'She is 13.5, nothing but kibble ever for her ever again! When we get old and go into nursing homes, we don't get treats, we only get the nutrition we need!' (I feel sorry for his folks if he was or is there caregiver!!)
Fast forward 30 hours from that point, I took her to a different vet, who changed up her treatment, said he didn't see any symptoms indicating the need for lasex (which I had already discontinued despite Henning's instructions), gave her a more suitable medication for her nausea (Henning had only provided Zofran), gave her a medication to stop her vomiting as she had not stopped vomiting yet at that point, and helped come up with a strategy to get her to eat.
She took 3 more days to start coming back around, but she is now being her bossy and energetic tail wagging self.
I feel if I had not moved her care, she might not be with us today. So thankful I did and she is.

Dr. Henning and staff was nothing short of Outstanding! He was up front and honest about the treatment options.
They handled the passing of our beloved pet with compassion.
