Meep says thank you too!Amanda N.Amanda N. ★★★★★ We had a wonderful first visit to the clinic with our newly adopted rescue dog.

Thank You, Rebecca and Bob PatientBob P.Bob P. ★★★★★ Love these guys!Mary Piske N.Mary Piske N. ★★★★★ I have been to different veterinary offices in and around the Northern suburbs of St. Paul, but I love Arden Hills Shoreview Animal Hospital best. The vet techs are so helpful and kind and the veterinarians are great. They don't rush you through appointments. They explain everything and give choices for treatments. I love this clinic.Tori J.Tori J. ★★★★★ We love Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital. Jenny Mayaka is our vet and when our puppy was showing signs of limping, she determined that it was more than growing pains and we were able to get treatment for OCD, a problem in big dogs. He is now completely healed and a normal dog. We went (back) to Arden Shoreview after many years away using a different vet. When we were unable to get an appointment with our vet for a very sick previous dog, Arden Shoreview was there for us. They helped us through a very difficult time as we had to let go of that dog.Julie Q.Julie Q. ★★★★★ Nice, friendly environment. Staff and Doctors are awesome!Rachael P.Rachael P. ★★★★★ They were so helpful and sweet!Jamie O.Jamie O. ★★★★★ Friendly staff who really care about our dog.Sara B.Sara B. ★★★★★ Companionate.

Thorough work!Nikki N.Nikki N. ★★★★★ We've taken our four cats here for years and have always been treated with kindness and efficiency. After thorough exams, the friendly staff was always able to discuss treatment options and itemized billing - which was absolutely appreciated.

Although I couldn't get in, the staff was friendly and informative on where I could go and get my dog treatment. Good people here.Josh H.Josh H. ★★★★★ Our dogs normally go to a different animal clinic, but it was full on busy. Our aging dog (almost 17) had symptoms that we didn’t see as an emergency, yet we believed he needed to be seen quickly. They got him in the next day, quickly but thoroughly assessed his health, and gave us the unfortunately sad news in a direct, tactful, compassionate manner.

Will definately be back and plan on moving all of our dogs' care to ASAH.Scott G.Scott G. ★★★★★ Absolutely lovely staff! I took my 10 month old bichpoo puppy to fill out a last minute international travel certificate this morning and we had a wonderful experience.

They even clipped her claws while she was sedated.W M.W M. ★★★★★ Our Vet is constantly booked out several weeks because of staffing issues.

You can just tell that they all truly care about all the animals that come through the doors.Kristine P.Kristine P. ★★★★★ I moved to Minnesota in 2022, and have been taking my critters to Arden Shoreview ever since.

Our experience was extremely positive beginning with my call to your receptionist, being triaged by your vet techs and finally interacting with Dr. Westgard and Dr. Mayaka. Dr. Westgard saw my puppy and was very kind, patient, informative, and took her time to walk through medical options. Finally, I was not only shocked but delighted to receive a follow-up call from Dr. Mayaka. Working in healthcare, this is incredible service and the vets and staff at Arden Shoreview Hospital went above and beyond to demonstrate excellent care. Work brings us to Minnesota a few times a year and I will continue to bring my puppy back for additional check-ups. Thank you for caring for Osito! ❤️🐶Gladys C.Gladys C. ★★★★★ I got a puppy over the weekend that was not feeling well. Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital calmed my anxiety and treated my pup with care and kindness. The nurses and dr were thorough and took as much time as needed to make sure I wan informed and comfortable. They did blood work and found what was causing my pup to be ill. They started us on a round of treatment right away. They gave me several samples of food and medication and packets of info on everything from housebreaking to vaccinations and everything in between. 5 stars!

I moved from Seattle and it was stressful on my girls. One of them needed an inhaler renewed and this place checked all the boxes. They were fast, efficient and kept it as stress free as they could.

Dr. Mayaka was the best and the staff (from the appropriate social distance 👌) was what has helped me decide this is where we will come back to.Michele L.Michele L. ★★★★★ Arden Shoreview makes me feel like my pet is loved, and they always call him by name.

Would definitely recommendEmma B.Emma B. ★★★★★ I could not say enough wonderful things about the whole staff at Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital. When I initially brought in my 20 year old cat, they treated him with such care and provided me with a couple of options with how to treat his acute health concern. They even followed up a week later with a phone call to check in and see how he was doing. I had to put him down 2 months later when his overall health severely declined. They were so caring and made the process comfortable for him. Seriously could not have asked for a better experience.Dr. Jamie Blumentritt, PT, DPT, MA, C.Dr. Jamie Blumentritt, PT, DPT, MA, C. ★★★★★ Outstanding care and love for my dog Socks especially when euthanized. Love them!!Kathy I.Kathy I. ★★★★★ A Caring, friendly professional staff.lynette P.lynette P. ★★★★★ We have been taking our 3 cats and dog to Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital for the last 5+ years. We initially started there because it was close to home, but have come to love the way they approach veterinary medicine and are authentic in their passion for animal care. We recently brought our German Shepherd mix in for a foot wound. They helped us work through a plan that was right for us, then called us to ensure she was on the up and up. The doctors and staff are great. One time when we arrived to pick up our girl, they had her in the office with them. Just hanging out and getting spoiled. So glad to have them right in our backyard.Ashley P.Ashley P. ★★★★★ I love the communication during procedures and after.

I was luckily referred to Arden Shoreview Animal Hospital and I'm so thankful that they were able to take me as a new customer and check out my little guy. They were professional, very knowledgeable, and took the time to review all the details regarding care, food, vaccines, and etc. They truly cared about my pet, and were fantastic to work with. Overall, I was very impressed and will be going back for all future appointments. Would highly recommend to others!Marina D.Marina D. ★★★★★ ASAH is consistently a good experience.

Understood my concerns. Extremely thorough in explanation of issue and remedies. Everyone in the office took care to make sure I knew step by step the care my dog was receiving- the very best of care!

Patty Rushman

We had been going to another vet but after they put our cat down it was hard to go back due to the memories involved. From a recommendation from a friend we gave you a try and my only regret was that we wish we had found this place earlier!

Renee Odmark

It was not just the vet that was kind and gracious, it was vet tech, and the front receptionist. Everything about this office made you feel comfortable with your pet.

Client Testimonial

The doctor took time to listen to all of my thoughts/ concerns, approached the issue systematically, explained everything he was doing and how he came to the diagnosis and treatment plan he gave me. He followed up to see how treatment was going.

Tania Dreon

Love the friendliness of the staff and always feel at ease when my babies are there for their check ups.

Kristin King

The staff is so friendly and thoughtful, especially to my dogs. They do what they can to make them comfortable at a place that always makes them nervous, and it means a lot to me to see my dogs be treated well.
