I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS VET OFFICE! I have been going to this vet for 2 years - give or take - and it has always been... alright. Not the best vet services I have experienced. But nothing terrible either. Until recently. About a month ago my cat Roxxy started urinating outside of her litterbox. She is only 3 years old and was wetting her own bed and I very extremely worried about what could be wrong. I gave them a urine sample and they said she had a severe urinary tract infection and gave me medicine to give her. After having her on the medicine for over 2 weeks she was still regularly urinating all over the house - unable to control her bladder. I took a urine sample in and they said that her infection was cleared and that the problem was solved. When I explained that she was still urinating outside of her litterbox my response was exactly, "Well, we aren't sure what your options are at this point. We feel she might be in pain. So, if you want we can give you pain medicine to give to her". This was told to me by a receptionist who said she had spoke to Dr McLaughlin about my options. I was completely in shock and felt helpless! They did not offer or advise for any more tests to be done. Or bring up seeing her again. If they thought she was in pain you would think they would want to find out why... not give an innocent animal pain medicine without confirming if she needs it or not. I was depressed for about a week not knowing what I should do. Diapering my cat and her still going outside of her litterbox. Then a coworker suggested Great Lakes Animal Hospital in Clinton Township. Although it was 30 minutes away I made an appointment and took Roxxy in. And I am so glad I did. The vet went over all my options with me. She did a full exam, took more urine, and even did bloodwork so we could make sure to rule out anything serious. The next day the vet (Dr Patel) called me personally to go over the results! She didn't have a receptionist call me. She let me know that Roxxy still has a urinary tract infection and needs more medicine. Now my cat is getting properly treated and is finally going in her litterbox. I am so relieved. Another problem with McLaughlin is they don't take the urine directly from the animal. Which gives better results than a sample brought from home. Since they apparently thought her infection was cleared when it wasn't at all. ALL PET OWNERS: RESEARCH AND LOOK INTO WHERE YOU TAKE YOUR PETS! THEY CAN'T CHOOSE THEIR OWN VET AND DESERVE SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE GOOD CARE OF THEM! SOMEONE WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR WELL-BEING!

My family has been using McLaughlin Animal Hospital since 1995. The staff is great and Dr Mac is the best ! We love the small friendly envirement and would never take our pets anywhere else.

Dr Mclaughlin is a very kind, knowledgable,and caring Vet. He has cared for our pet for 10 years (since he was a puppy) and I can say that I have always been pleased. I recommend him to everyone!

We love this place. It is never busy, and your in a room immediately! They are very nice to your pet and you and we love it more than any of our older vets!
