I'm a first time dog owner and will never take my pup here again. Due to covid restrictions we had to wait outside and the owners could not go in (how Ridiculous since Covid restrictions have been lifted in Wisconsin for almost a month now). I waited about 15 minutes before they took her in and boy was it busy just watching all the animals going in and out. My little doodle saw Dr. Amanda, and the vet seemed really nice over the phone, but there was a lot of information thrown at me over the phone. My pup went in for her follow up as she is only 10 weeks, and she had a slight yeast infection

I have been taking my cats to Greenfield Veterinary Clinic now for 22 years and I think they are the best in what they do,which is offering quality care for our pets and support for us as pet owners when our babies get sick. I have never had a bad experience during this time regarding care for my cats or anything else. Dr Work and Dr Taylor in my opinion,go above and beyond in the care they give to the pets as well as establishing a good relationship with the pet owners. I have gotten to know both Drs well over this time and I can honestly say, we are blessed to have them care for our cats. The

I brought my dog here for an ear issue. After going to another clinic and being told we'd have to try several expensive alternatives, Dr Work was straight forward and started us off with the least expensive treatment option. It worked and We've been customers ever since. I love the way he treated our dogs. The only negative side is when my husband took our dog for his annual shots recently, he waited for a very long time past his appointment time due to a backup with the vets. Typically we don't have these issues and are overall very satisfied.

While the veterinarians seem knowledgeable, they are definitely out for your money. I've been going here just because it's close to my house, but will need to find a new vet. I brought my kitten to get a rabies shot, and lately his eye had been watering so I figured I'd asked if it was a big deal or not while I was there. Without asking, Dr. Taylor grabbed equipment to check his eye for scratches, says "nope it's probably no big deal". Little did I know that my expected $25 bill shot up to $100. Another instance, my kitten was having major issues with diarrhea, dehydration
