On a recommendation from my sister, my husband and I started bringing our neurotic male cats, Morty and Jack, to Lyndale Animal Hospital for their yearly check-ups. Specifically to Dr. Grindal.
The building looks very plain and clinical, but the moment you walk in with your furry friend, a receptionist greets you at the desk while a lovely old calico looks on from the counter. I was automatically treated like an old friend, feeling comfortable asking any questions I had about my cats.
The actual appointment with Dr. Grindal was so much easier than I could have ever imagined. My cats are both terrified of the vet to the point that they have been downright vicious and have even drawn blood from many a vet tech in the past. We heard that Dr. Grindal had a "gentle touch," and that he "baby-talked" to animals to calm them down. Well, the rumors are all true, folks. Not only was he friendly and accommodating, but he treated our animals with such gentle care and respect, always seeming to understand the anxiety they were going through and never making me feel humiliated for having such high-strung felines. Even though our cats were still pretty angry that they had to be at the vet, Dr. Grindal gave them a full examination and still managed to keep them very subdued, without having to endure any swats or biting. This guy is amazing!
A major bonus is that Dr. Grindal works every other Saturday, so you don't even have to rearrange your work schedule to bring in your furry friend for a check-up.

I went there with my cat who was licking and biting all her hair off. They ran some tests and found she wasn't having an allergic reaction, no infection, or fungal problems, but they left with me no other advice over the phone when I called for the results. I'm not sure if they are just expecting me to shell out more money for another trip just to give me advice they should have given me in the first place. I may just have a neurotic cat. I guess I was hoping for something more conclusive. The one visit was around $130. Their base price for a visit is $48, then plus expenses (shots). They were very friendly however, and they may be great for cats with more typical problems.

Normandale Veterinary Hospital is a great clinic in Edina just off France Avenue and W76th Street. It's not to far from 494 and France.
Normandale provides most veterinary services and is a great place to board your animals while on vacation.
The staff is friendly and Dr. Hallstrom is not only great with the pets, but great with the owners.
You can also buy all your pet's medications and food there as well.

We have been taking our animals to Dr. Smith for over 20 years. She has always given the same compassionate, non-rushed service that she always has. She knows her animals, has seen a lot of illnesses, etc. and has a wealth of experience. Dr. Smith and her staff are the greatest.

I took my dog to Cedar Pet Clinic for the first time today and have never been happier. She had a minor skin infection and kennel cough and the staff was wonderful. They got me in immediately and cared for dog with a true love for animals and exteme compassion. The doctor took extra time to explain everything and even gave me great free samples to begin brushing my dogs teeth! Cedar Pet Clinic exemplifies what a vet experience should be for people and pets alike! I will continue to take both my cat and dog to the Clinic and encourage anyone else with pets to do the same!

Camden Pet Hospital is a nice pet hospital but also a little pricey most likely due to the fact that is small. I used this when my dog got her foot run over, and they bandaged the foot very well as well as showed us how to care for it by ourselves. So the service is good and all but the prices are high. In the end if you want a homey feel go to this pet hospital. But f you want a good price go to some big national chain.

I would recommend this Chiropractic clinic to everyone. The entire staff is great - they are all extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Dr. Anderson is great and is an expert on auto accidents. Lynn is a great massage therapist. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Cons: None

I have been going to Burch for like 8 years now and even though I don't live in the neighborhood anymore, I still cross town to fill prescriptions and peruse the gifts and all that line the shelves. I definitely recommend Burch to anyone. The only drawback is that, because they are a smaller business there Rx's are a little more expensive then your evil type giant stores (but that wouldn't matter to those with insurance)
Pros: support small business, great service, product variety

About this clinic. They took care of our ailing dog for several years, they were always helpful and up front with the cost of any services she would need. We had her on heart medicine for almost 2 years and they always made it easy for us to get her prescriptions. If they did not have it in stock they would readily get us a prescription to take to walgreens. They were there with our dog up until the end. When she passed on they were very sincere and helpful to us in our time of grief. An excellent care facility with top notch doctors and employees.

With the variety of programs and equipment this gym offers anyone can find an activity that will help keep them healthy and in shape. They hold many small classes in private studios. Some outstanding classes are social dance and pilates. I was pleasantly surprised to find a hair salon and sporting goods store located within the gym. They also have a juice bar that makes all kinds of fresh juices and shakes. It gets very busy right after work but they have so much equipment that the wait is minimal.
