Advanced Veterinary Care Blaine, Minnesota

Great experience at Advanced Veterinary Care. They provided top-notch service every step of the way. Communicative, responsive, and a group you can tell truly cares about the animals in their care. Dr. Barrett and all the vet techs are highly recommended.

They have always been very pleasant and helpful and nice on the phone too when I have called.

Wonderfully welcoming staff who appear to genuinely want to be there. My dog is easily excited and we are working on his jumping up. They were calm and understanding to help him be comfortable with them before starting any treatment.

Sadly I thought I had finally found a vet that cared. Well I think they cared but the vet (Reed-Harris) maybe to inexperienced. I took my cat here because she was squatting all over the house but also because she had not pooped in a week and wasn't gaining weight. My husband and I have repeatedly stated we think she is block but this vet just like the previous one at Andover did not listen to the client. My poor little girl did not poop for weeks and yet they didn't think this was a concern. Although she did suggest an ultrasound it was to check her kidneys not her guts. They never listened to her gut sounds which there were none. Finally we took her to the emergency where upon palpating her belling they felt her EXTREMELY block. Ultrasound determined there was a tumor causing the food she was eating to be back up into her stomach and at which time she would vomit intestinal contents. My poor little girl did NOT deserve the pain she had to endure for a month. We had to put her down the same day. I do like the office and may try them again but will be asking for a more seasoned vet.

helped got in when a cancelation came up I was very concerned abot what was wrong with my poor dog

I called for info on getting our cat spayed. I am impressed! Extremely patient and helpful with my questions. Looking forward to our visit! Will update after the visit!!

Great staff and quick appointments always available.

I love Dr. Barrett and her whole team. My dog and my son's cat and my daughter's cat all go to Advanced. The team of people are caring, kind, professional, thorough. I trust them 100% and would recommend them to anyone!

These people really love animals! Very thorough and accommodating.

I had to put my baby down after 14 years of an amazing life. They were very compassionate and gentle with Hurley. They showed sympathy and love her as well for us during a very difficult time. I would not have wanted anyone else to be there for my baby as she transitioned into her afterlife. They sent us a sympathy card in the mail as well. I will not choose any other clinic for as long as I’m in the area. Thank you all for being so kind and gentle with Hurley.

Our dog tends to be nervous with new people and we had just moved a long way across country so she was already having a lot of adjustments and when we took her to her appointment at Advanced Veterinary Care, we were worried she might have issues, but the staff listened to everything we had to say about our dog and they couldn't have been more kind and patient with her, even sitting on the floor with her to let her get comfortable with them. She had to have quite a bit of medication, and tests, but the staff were so great, when she came out she was happy and relaxed and we were so relieved and happy too! We are fans for life! Thank you Dr Barrett!!

They are caring and always willing to listen. They are so good to my dogs and really care about them.

Expert, professional and personalized care at every visit. Thank you for providing the best veterinary care for our furry family member!

If I could give this place ten stars I would! I am so thankful for Dr. Elton and his staff! I have been taking my dogs here for over 5 years and can't imagine taking them anywhere else. They are kind, passionate, caring and very knowledgeable. They really take the time to go over everything with you and answer your questions/concerns. They also offer a reasonably priced pet plan to keep your pets on schedule for what they need (shots, exams, testing, etc).

All of the vets here are incredibly caring and patient. They explain every step and clearly love our pets. I would highly recommend them.

My first experience was a misdiagnosis even after I had strongly disagreed with their diagnosis. The first antibiotic for what they thought was an abscess didn’t work. They added another antibiotic After I called and said the anabiotic is not working for the gaping wound. They recommended that she should have surgery to remove her teeth that were involved. They wanted to schedule the surgery right away. I told him that I felt it was not an abscessed tooth because the injury was on outside of the snout, I felt it was a spider bite. The area healed with cleansing, antibiotic ointment with our care at home, it was not an abscess. We thought we would give them a second chance because everybody makes mistakes. The second time I called my dog was in need to see them right away. She had a seizure. When I called the receptionist was very rude and kept telling me there is no openings at all. And I said even if the dog needs to be seen right away? She said that she had NO appointments for 3 weeks. I said she needed to be sooner. She said we can’t. She did not give recommendations for other Vets and her tone was rude. As far as good, I thought the veterinarian assistants were very nice and they explained all costs that would be involved. The veterinarian was gentle and a nice demeanor. It was also close in proximity.

They are always so happy and friendly. They always give a call the day after the appointment to check in, which I love. I would recommend this place to everyone!

My older Corgi is having dental issues. Dr. Elton was great at explaining how we could handle the problem, both the pros and cons then provided a written estimate & no pressure to make a decision right away. Great service!!!!!

I've been using Advanced Veterinary Care for years, so I already knew of their excellent service, helpful + knowledgeable staff, and phenomenal care. But after bringing my new puppy in for her second round of shots, general checkup, etc., I'm SO very impressed with Dr. Elton's dedication to his clients! He talked to me at length about potty/crate training, teething and appropriate chews/toys, nutrition, and puppy behaviors. I haven't had a puppy in over a dozen years so I had plenty of questions, and he took the time to thoroughly answer each and every one. Before the appointment I'd been a bit worried about some of my puppy's behaviors, but Dr. Elton smoothed the waters by explaining what was happening, and why...I left that appointment feeling so very upbeat, armed with new information to help me be the best puppy parent. And, of course, the rest of the staff is awesome, too--the vet techs who work at this clinic truly care about your animal, along with offering exceptional customer service. I can't recommend this vet clinic enough.

Advanced Veterinary Care offers exceptional care and kindness. Not only are all the staff friendly, but they are knowledgeable and skilled. When we visit the vet it feels more like visiting with friends. My dogs are always treated with compassion and extra snuggles. Tonight we had a little scare with our French Bulldog, Piggy- the staff and Dr. Elton were there to meet me at the door ready to help Piggy with her allergic reaction. The care is always exceptional and Advanced Veterinary Care is where we will always go for our dog’s needs.

AVC staff and doctors made my cat and I feel like a top priority. From urgently needing care- they were able to make the stars align. From quality care/treatment to financial communications, AVC was able to exceed our expectations and provided us with the best possible experience we could have ever imagined. Excellent care and service from Dr. Bennett, Dr. Reed Harris and their wonderful staff ♡

If I could give this place more stars, I ABSOLUTELY would!! Being a new dog mom you have lots of fears, the instant I stepped through those doors they took those fears away. The staff is by far the most phenomenal staff I have seen in a …

Best veterinary clinic and staff. All three of my cats go here. The clinic itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is always accommodating and friendly. They sit on the floor in the rooms to make your pet feel more comfortable. I wouldn't trust my pets with anyone else! They also appreciate their client's human owners, holding appreciation days and fun events. Thank you for being an amazing place!

We have tried various vets, and Dr. Barrett is absolutely the vet for us. We have a very energetic 60lb dog. The staff treat her very well and it is the first place we have been too that makes me feel like they genuinely care about our dog. Dr Barrett is very good at explaining things and giving good advice.

It is a good clinic but good luck getting an appointment. Always booked 2 weeks out.

I was super happy that the clinic was willing to see my puppy that is 3 months old. Originally, I had an appointment with Banfield, which they called me two hours before the appointment to tell me that they've canceled my appointment. Sadly, right at the time they called me, my puppy got injured. I called around to other vet clinics but no one was willing to fit me in. This clinic was willing to see my puppy's injury and do a wellness check up for my puppy. Super glad I gave them a call. The clinic is really clean and they were super nice. They treated my puppy with care and it felt like they actually cared about my puppy.

The best care! Thoughtful, kind and always doing what’s best for clients and patients!

Absolutely incredible service and care. Hands down, this place is the best.

This place is #1 in my book in Minnesota! We called, and we've never even brought our dog here before, and they got us in the same day. They were also super busy due to it being a Saturday, and they kept apologizing for the long wait. When in fact they got us in and out within 2hrs, while we were expecting all day. They had multiple doctors and nurses to help properly diagnosis my precious Dewey. They were sweet, patient, and worked with us on prices to make it an all around amazing first experience, we have now made this our regular vet.

Jeffrey said it so well. The staff at AVC are compassionate, knowledgeable and treat our gentle giants as if they are their own family. The Labrones love going to visit the team at AVC! Stellar place! We are so grateful to have found them.
