Thank you i called late on a tuesday night when my little yorkie ate a couple pills (advil) that i had dropped on the floor. needless to say i did panic. i called around to a few emergency clinics and found that most charged over $100 JUST for the exam. animal and avian was much cheaper ($70) so i went. the girl at the desk was really nice, put me in a room right away and the doctor was in immediately. they went over several options and were super wonderful when it came to working with me about payment. i had to leave tootsi... read more

Very Satisfied I rescued my first chihuahua from Texas in 2009 at 9 months of age. Her travel health check up in Texas revealed that she had luxating patellas, both a grade 3 (out of 5). We made our first appointment with Dr. Wilson as soon as Mia came home. Dr. Wilson specializes in small dogs. Eventually, Mia had to have surgery. She stayed overnight, and did very well. The staff explained all the charges up front before any decision was made and of course required payment up front (this is not uncommon and I compared pric... read more

Wont go anywhere else. My pets have been faithful patients at avian for a number of years. I unfortunately am the owner of 4 pets above 10 years old and 2 have medical conditions so I have to say I frequent there more than I like. Regardless, my pets always receive wonderful care, the girls at the desk are always friendly, the doctors are excellent and are willing to work with me when I cant exactly afford treatment on all my pets at once. I have never encountered a "rude" staff member, felt that I was lied to or taken advan... read more

First time client I recently got a puppy that I had spayed at a low cost clinic. 2 days later her incision was huge and fluid was coming out. My mom brings her dogs to animal and avian and they were highly recommended so I called. They were able to get me in just an hour later. I had no idea that low cost clinics don't give dogs any pain medication or antibiotics, so my puppy just developed a small infection. The doctor spent a lot of time with me and addressed all my questions and concerns. The assistant was very caring and... read more

Rude A few months back I called there to see if they had xray equipment for small animal teeth. The lady on the phone told me they were capable of that, so I made an appointment. I was extremely disappointed to get there and be told by the vet that their xray machine would not work for small animals, after I had specifically called and asked, and still had to pay to go in. Recently my partner went in and they were incredibly rude and whispered very unprofessional comments. They completely forgot about my partner for over an ... read more

Great staff My dog had been vomiting for a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon when my normal vet was closed. I called around to several clinics and the emergency fee was pretty unreasonable. I called animal and avian and the fee was much less and they were able to get me right in. The staff was very nice and the rooms were clean. The female doctor who saw me was helpful and informative. Luckily my dog was ok and made a pretty quick recovery. Unfortunately it is a bit far for me to go to for routine care, but very useful in... read more

DISGUSTED THIS IS A HORRIBLE MEDICAL CENTER!!!!! When I called with an emergency with my cat about 4:30, because my regular vet was not in, I was told that for him to be seen I would have to pay $65.00. I said I would be there within the hour since I was waiting for a ride. When I got dropped off with my cat I was told I would have to wait til 7 o'clock and then I would have to have $200.00. My cat was blocked and in the process of dying but they didn't care, all they wanted was the money. Thank God I was able to find anothe... read more

Thanks for being there today! Today is a holiday and we could not find a vet working, including at the emergency clinic in Cleveland. I noticed on line that The Animal and Avian Medical Center in Brunswick had later hours than most vets, took a chance and called. They were there working and gave us an appointment immediately. We rushed our 22 year old cat in and she was seen by Dr. Palomar. This Dr. was very thorough and spoke to us constantly about what she suspected, what she was finding during the exam and where we should... read more

Recent visit Took our Shepard in for a evening visit....when I called I was told that after 7pm the charge for the visit was a bit higher ($65) and it was on a walk-in basis. We got there shortley after 7pm---did not wait more than 10-15 minutes, the vet address all of my concerns, did the appropriate testing, and provided use with some med--my only concern was the addition fee above the amount of the visit was not discussed with me prior to checking out. I came out to about $150.00...which to me did not seem that bad, but o... read more
