Borgfeld Animal Hospital

"We brought our 9-year-old Shepard mix dog Captain to Borgfeld after being unable to get into his regular vet until much later in the week, despite having received a serious and potentially fatal diagnosis from Blue Pearl the day before. Upon calling Borgfeld on Monday morning when they opened at 7:30am and explaining initial diagnosis of either a prostate infection or cancer due to a small mass on our son’s prostate from Blue Pearl, we spoke with Carol who was the nicest and most empathetic voice. We have taken all 4 of our cats here, so we know the level of care and kindness BAH provides, but the fact that they were able to get Captain in ASAP that morning for IV fluids, exam and bloodwork was absolutely amazing. Dr. Z, who has seen and treated all of our kitties, was incredibly kind and reassuring throughout the visit. She confirmed the mass and the likely diagnosis of either a bad infection or cancer that Blue Pearl had provided and scheduled the ultrasound for the following week, giving Captain medication to hopefully help ease his nausea from dehydration in addition to the subcutaneous fluids under his skin. Unfortunately, Captain did not respond the way we all had hoped and by the next morning had thrown up and now refused to drink any liquids. We called BAH and Sabra, another kind soul, told us to bring him in immediately for a slow IV drip and that Dr. Z would prioritize us ahead given the dire situation at hand. True to their word, we were able to get our son in to be seen and Dr. Z pushed up the ultrasound and radiology reading for our boy to that afternoon (something our regular vet would never do). While we were all hopeful it was a bad infection, Dr. Z called us later that afternoon and gave us the difficult news that it was indeed prostate cancer that had metastasized into his lungs. Knowing such a prognosis was something that our son would not be able to come back from, we made the incredibly difficult decision to let him cross the rainbow bridge that same day. As soon as we arrived, Sabra took us back to get us situated and again provided such kindness and comfort. In fact, we had two other techs come in and provide us with the same type of empathy - absolutely amazing. We spent our last moments with our son on a warm fluffy blanket provided by the staff and Dr. Z sat on the floor rubbing Captain’s ears talking about what a good boy he was - she knew him for 36 hours and to see this type of love and attention was more than we could ever hope for. BAH made our son’s final days as comfortable as possible and gave Captain, my husband and I more love and kindness than we could have ever hoped for. We will forever be indebted to Dr. Z and all the staff and techs of BAH. We love all of y’all more than we can say."

"I would recommend this veterinary office! Already recommended another friend who had taken one of her dogs and loved them. They are so kind, very accommodating and trustworthy. We changed vets in Jan because we needed to get in for an urgent matter but our previous vet only had appointments 2 wks out. Called this office since they are closer to my house and they understood the urgency and got us in the following day. If you're looking for a new vet, call Borgfeld AH, don't hesitate!"

"We went there to send our beloved Snickers over the rainbow bridge and they were so compassionate and caring, we couldn't have asked for anything more. We moved our other dogs to them and they accommodated our 2 crazy bullies for a first thing appointment in the morning. Love them and so happy we found them! Plus Dr. Z worked at our prior Vet so we were absolutely thrilled to know she was there!!"

"Absolutely wonderful staff and Doctors. Dr. Z has been amazing and compassionate. I love my animals like family, and I won't take them anywhere else."

"Since I'm retired, I volunteered to take the neighbor's little dog to the vet since she had to work. What a pleasant experience! The staff was so friendly, professional, and thorough. They made this special arrangement to accommodate my neighbor's request. The communication that ensued was exemplary so that I could relate the specifics to my neighbor with accuracy and alacrity. The pup is doing well under the judicious care of the veterinary team. The team even called my neighbor the day after the visit to ensure the little doggy was feeling better and still improving."
