Truly the kindest staff and I couldn’t have asked for better people to help make the very difficult decision to put my sweet girl to sleep. Thank you guys for everything. Had the best 14 years with my sweet Macy bug and I’m glad she had a gentle, caring hand alongside us in her final moments.

I will have to say it takes a lot to impress me but this establishment did just that. Being a former vet tech, years ago, I like to think i know my way around the vet office and their procedures. From beginning to end the staff was professional, courteous, and empathetic towards my dog and myself. They were completely transparent with the tests, fees and anything else I wouod need for my dogs care. Most of all, they didn’t break my bank like other emergency vets would have. It was very reasonable. They also made it more convenient for me, making an appt with the west chester office instead of the Beavercreek which was booked up that evening. It was almost the same drive either way for me. Top notch service and prices. I wouod recommend anytime. I appreciate my vet, Dixie Vet Clinic in Vandalia, recommending them for me since I called at closing time. Thanks for all you do!!

The staff is excellent, and Dr. Midkiff is not only an excellent Veterinarian, she is an excellent compassionate human being. My best to all of the employees in the West Chester location. It was a pleasure being there under the circumstances of the visit. Thank you for your commitment to your dedicated work with pets.

Everyone at this office was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. Our dog Lou was given excellent treatment by Dr Parker and Madelyn! We appreciate how caring Madelyn was in a stressful situation. Dr Parker explained the diagnosis & treatment wonderfully and Madelyn even showed us how to give the medications to our dog. I would definitely recommend this office. Thank you Dr Parker and the entire staff!

I had a wonderful experience at AcutePet Urgent Care, From the very start, scheduling an appointment was quick and easy, with friendly staff that made the process simple and stress-free. When we arrived, the team was welcoming and made sure both Buddy and I felt comfortable. The clinic was clean, organized, and had a calming atmosphere. During our visit, the veterinary staff was incredibly kind and attentive. They took their time explaining everything clearly and treated my pet with genuine care and compassion. It’s reassuring to know we’re in such good hands. I truly appreciate the personal attention and professionalism from everyone at the clinic. Highly recommend to any pet owner looking for a caring and trustworthy veterinary team!

We lost our pet and they handled everything well. I was unsure what to do and where to go so I drove to the closest place. They made the process easy. I’m glad they made it easy, that day was very hard.

I didn’t know this place existed. Our vet couldn’t fit us in when my dog broke her toe and advised us to go to an urgent care facility. I’m so glad I found AcutePet Urgent Care. Everyone on staff was incredibly nice and they understand wanting to start with conservative treatment initially and not automatically jumping to the most expensive treatment. They did a great job getting x-rays without having to use anesthesia and did a great job splinting our dog’s leg. I’m so glad we found a place we can go to if our vet isn’t an option and the medical problem isn’t severe enough to need emergency treatment.

They were able to fit me in last minute. Both of vet tech and the vet were very knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to work within my budget. They reassured me every step of the way with the medications I had to give my dog for his medical issues
