Akron Vet Clinic

"My father took my dog here to be seen because she wasn't eating and was losing weight. He was told that she had pancreatitis and an insulinoma. He prescribed her medication to which my father and stepmother administered as directed to a T. Her condition continued to worsen and they were told there was nothing they could do essentially and that she would start having seizures and would pass away in 4 months. When they sent her to another vet for another opinion, the other vet told them she was fine, all her blood work was normal, and she did not have an insulinoma or pancreatitis. The vet told them that those medications were literally killing her. The vet immediately stopped the medications, and she is as lively as ever and is very healthy, and still has much life left. She wasn't eating due to stress. The new vet requested her records from this office and they wouldn't send them over. Please, if you love and cherish your animals, please do not send them here, or if you think something is up, go to another office to get a second opinion. I live far away from here and had to leave her with my father because I cannot afford a pet nor do i have the space, but that dog is my love and my life and i spent so many nights crying because I thought I'd never see her again."

"I am a big fan of Dr. Howard. He took excellent care of my cats and dogs when I lived in Illinois and he practiced there. If you want a top notch personable vet, Dr. Howard is your vet. I wish I lived closer so I could bring my pets to him for care. I truly miss him."

"The rudeness of the “manager” as she called herself was horrific! The way she spoke to the receptionist we let pass because you never know what happens before or after you leave. But then she spoke so rudely to me 4 different times. How they have business at all is beyond me! After the long windy rudeness she left the room and before her and the vet came back in we left. We explained to the receptionist why. Made it as clear as we could that it had nothing to do with her or the vet! If this is how it goes on a simple visit no way I’d want to come here with my pets if it was an emergency! So to the “manager” wearing a camo undershirt and bold glasses with grey hair…you need some people skills."

"I can’t believe this place. Many years ago I came to this place with my brother to have his beloved dog put down. My wife and I had this reality hit us this week and couldn’t find anywhere to have this done with our own dog. We called them and they rearranged things to accommodate us and when we got there, both Dr. Howard and his entire staff were amazing. Our dog left this world with no pain whatsoever, and they were amazingly attentive. We are probably not gonna ever have pets again, but if we do this place is gonna be our new choice for veterinary services."

"I took my pet rat here two years ago when he had an upper respiratory infection. Unfortunately he passed away while I was there with him. The doctor was so so nice to me and explained everything very well. The entire staff tried their hardest and did everything they could have done for us. I wouldn’t take my small animals to any other vet. The entire staff is so compassionate and I was so thankful for them."
