I have been a pet owner for over 20 years, and I have been to many vets over that time. I live one hour from All Pets, and it is well worth the drive. I loved my last vet, but when I tried to get an emergency appointment because my dog couldn't even get up, they said they couldn't see her for 4 days. I called All Pets, because I knew one of the staff, and they got me in an hour later. Dr. Burmeister spent the entire afternoon with us. After a series of laser therapy treatments, she acts like a puppy again. I never felt pressured to buy anything,, including the food we now have her on. When I asked to buy a different heartworm med, because she threw up the other one she was on, I was told I could get a refund for the one that made her sick. They also never pressured me to run tests or to take x-rays. They give you options and let you decide how aggressively you want to pursue treatment. From the vets to the office staff to the techs, I have had nothing but vey positive experiences and plan to bring my exotics and dogs and cats there in the future.

Like the previous reviewer I feel like I'm being forced to use the products they carry and not the one my dog has done well on for 6 years. In this case it's heart worm meds. They pretty much gave me no choice but to buy one of the two they carry which is of course much more expensive. So I finally said we would try it. When I gave it to him as prescribed by the vet, he vomited it and all of his dinner up an hour later. Now they are giving me the runaround about a refund and will only give me credit towards other services or meds. They want us to try the other med they carry and if he can't take that then they will order the one I asked for in the first place. I was not impressed at all with the doctor he saw, she is very young and just rubbed me the wrong way. I felt like I was being talked down to the whole time. Also when I asked them to give me a prescription so I could get his meds at Target, (who I know carries his usual stuff) the office girl went into this long lecture as to why I should not get any pet medications from Target. "Target doesn't get pet meds from the manufacturer, they get left overs that someone else couldn't sell. We don't know if they were stored in the right conditions, yada yada yada, blah blah blah." This was our first time at this vet after moving to Peoria last summer. We had been taking our other dog to another vet in town who I liked but their clinic is so much bigger and is also farther away from our house. No matter, we WILL be going to Meadowbrook from now on. Not happy with ALL PETS at all. Don't go there!

All Pets can handle exotics, including guinea pigs. Other vets who don't specialize cannot give you the exact right medicine for an exotic... my guinea pig was given beef-flavored antibiotic at another vet and only offered one type of antibiotic. All Pets can make medicines tailored to the animal, including additional antibiotics for guinea pigs which are flavored the right way to get them in the animal easier. I didn't give 5 stars because the vet couldn't tell me over the phone how much my pet's procedures were going to cost and I went ahead with them and was a little surprised at the bill.

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats who have all been here over the past 11 years. My dogs look forward to going to see the doctor. Dr. Burmeister makes sure that I know what options I have to treat my pets and helps me understand their problems. I always feel that they truly care for my pets. I think that the staff are great too, definitely nicer than a lot of the people doctor's offices that I have been in.

Vet lied to my face and tried to sell me their product. Not cool.
