Dr. Christman, the technicians and staff, namely Alyssa (sp?-thank you Alyssa, sorry if misspell!)-they all have come to my rescue many times when both my guinea pigs are old Boars and have health issues. They got my one little guy in before the weekend, and thank goodness because he has pneumonia and needed antibiotics. I can't express my appreciation enough to the the staff, technicians and Dr. Christman

We've been through a lot of vets and have become very untrustworthy of all of them, so we are so happy to have found Healthy Pet! Our 2-year old teddy bear tends to be very naughty, so we find ourselves going into the vet more often than we'd like to admit, which is why we also buy pet insurance through Healthy Pet! We always feel our dog is well-taken care of and thoroughly accounted for.

They took my cat Winston and did a very great job with him. All other places said he was mean and needed a sedative to calm him down these people didn't even use a sedative in Winston was just great in there with them. Thank you!

Before I moved to Madison, I had such a hard time finding any vets near the Minneapolis area that took ferrets. When I did find a vet that took ferrets, they seemed to lack the knowledge and expertise my pet needed, and unfortunately, my ferret passed away at the age of 6 from cancer. Recently, I rescued two other ferrets after moving to the Madison area and was referred to Dr. Christman. I couldn't be more happy with the care my pets received. Dr. Christman and her team were very friendly and knowledgeable about ferrets, and I ended up walking out of the door with updated rabbies and distemper vaccines, and ear mite solution to ease my ferrets' discomfort. I highly recommend Healthy Pet Vet for those who have ferrets and are looking for boarding and / or clinic visits.

I love this vet clinic! Dr Carla Christman has been my vet for 20 plus years! She goes beyond the call of duty and has giving me so much of her personal time helping me out and comforting me is times of sorrow of the loss of my dogs Guppy & Cooper. When you find a keeper like her. you don't leave! You know your pets are in the best hands! she what I call an Amazing Vet!

I love them. They treat my big dog with care and she is very scared and intimidating. I trust them and they are close to home. Super Awesome vet!

I take my fur babies to this wonderful place and couldn't be happier. The staff is phenomenal, I walk in and they greet my babies like they are their own. Let me just say my Walter is a french bulldog and a puppy who is incredibly unruly and has no sense of personal space, acts like this is his second home and the staff treat him as such. He recently was nutered and not once did I worry if he was being taken care of.

My Tucker a rescue Jack Russell is much older and it takes more to impress him, but his stubby little tail gets to wagging and a pep in his step when he sees the staff here. So if you're looking for a clinic to take your babies too, I highly recommend it, this is one of the best.
