Central Animal Hospital 840 2nd Avenue South, Onalaska, WI 54650

"I have been going to Central Animal for over 12 years with now 5 German Shepherds. It is very expensive, like many things in this world now. But, I appreciate the vets knowing their limitations and being honest about them. With certain things (hip/elbow x-rays for certification and breeding-related things), I go to a different vet in Madison. Kim is wonderful with my dogs (some vets are terrified and refuse to work with Shepherds or big breeds). Kim is always thorough and compassionate, takes time to examine my dogs, and spends time talking to me about my concerns. She is so wonderful."

"Thanks Doug and Kim for taking wonderful care of our dog Ben. We had him for 12 years. Throughout those years you have been very kind. Always took good care of him. Diabetes finally got him. You both are outstanding vets. Our family has 4 other dogs that you also do a great job of caring for. Anytime we needed to bring him in we were able to do that quickly and our calls were also answered with knowledge and caring. Thanks again. We appreciate you both."

"Central Animal Hospital has been the vet service for my two dogs for the past two years. The vets, techs and staff are friendly and helpful. My dogs even enjoy going to see them. Convenient for North La Crosse and moderately priced. Central Animal Hospital has been equipped to handle my pets medical needs including a canine tooth extraction. They are connected with other veterinary clinics around La Crosse so there is always someone available even for emergencies and weekends. I would recommend Central Animal Hospital."

"Will never return, after making the difficult decision to put our 13 1/2 year old dog down, was told he was a "senior dog." And he didn't feel ethically or morally ok with putting him down. Our dog hated car rides and was more active upon arrival, he was blind and deaf, not eating much. Slept majority of the day, etc. His nose worked great so he was taking in all the smells from previous animals that had been in exam room also. Was not the same dog we had at home with us on a daily basis. Made an extremely awful time even worse with his comments. He did the procedure after making the comment about the adrenaline rush our dog must be having. It was a peaceful transition for our beloved dog but the added unnecessary comments regarding our judgment and added stress was not appreciated. I think owners know their animals well enough to make the decision when its best to let them go."

"UPDATE DO NOT GO HERE!!! They called me back only because of the review on here. Unfortunately, she isn't going to make it, and they are still trying to get more money from me. They couldn't give me a quote on how much it would cost to euthanize her. It is now 3 times the size of her head and is starting to open. they want to schedule it all the way out to Oct 10th. I have already spent $100 for the Dr to hold her for 2 seconds and give her a cat antibiotic. THE DR ONLY WANTS YOUR MONEY! THEY HAVE NO ETHICAL VALUE FOR YOU PET! We have a pet rat named Tippy. She has a large mass that is growing rapidly. She was seen and given antibiotics to see if it helps. They called on Thursday asking about her. I told them the mass is getting bigger. The lady on the phone said she would talk to the Dr and get back to me. I still haven't received a call back. The communication isn't good as of yet. I will update when I get more information"
