I absolutely love Dr John and his staff!! I actually followed him from the previous clinic he was at before he started his own. They are so kind are willing to work with you and your schedule. We have several other clinics closer me, but I will drive the fee extra miles just for him!

Dr. John was able to squeeze Olivia in for a same day appointment when I was worried about a sore appearing on the back of her neck. Showed me compassion and eliminated my worry for her health. Great staff!

Our dogs have been patients of CCAP for a number of years. Dr. John and his staff are extremely professional, courteous and easy to talk to. We are so glad we have chosen them to care for our pets.

We are new clients to this clinic and our first appointment was great. Dr Jon was very kind, open to any questions, knowledgeable, and personable! The technician who roomed us was very sweet to our kitten, friendly, had a positive attitude, went in depth about preventatives and vaccines, and had good communication. The front desk staff was kind, patient, and hard working too! We are happy with this clinic and can't wait to bring in the rest of our animals!

I have been a loyal customer of Compassionate Care Animal Clinic for the 10 years,(living only 6 Minutes away), bringing my beloved dog to Dr. John for his annual checkups and vaccinations. Throughout this time, I have always trusted Dr. John to provide the best possible care for my furry family member. Unfortunately, it seems that the level of compassion and care has changed at the clinic.Recently, I had a distressing experience when I came home to find my pet behaving oddly and bloated. Concerned for his well-being, I immediately called Dr. John's office for assistance. However, after being put on hold for seven minutes, I was informed that there were no available appointments that day and that the next opening would be in five days. As a result, I was advised to take my dog to a veterinarian in Appleton which is an hour away.This incident has left me feeling disappointed and let down by Compassionate Care Animal Clinic. It saddens me to realize that their commitment to caring for pets only extends as far as scheduled appointments. In times of emergency or urgent need, it seems they are not equipped or willing to provide the necessary support.In memory of my best friend Max who passed away during this unfortunate situation (RIP), I urge you to consider seeking veterinary services elsewhere if you value immediate and compassionate care for your cherished furry companions in times of distress or emergency.

We absolutely love it here. A few years ago I had to put my cat down and while it was a traumatic experience for me they really made me feel at ease. I was able to stay with my cat for as long as I needed to and they were so kind and considerate. A while later I received a sympathy card from Dr. John and his staff and it was such a nice feeling to know they cared. We now take our one year old puppy there and they have continued with their amazing customer service.

We get appointments in a reasonable time and are not rushed out the door. The Dr takes his time with the dogs and addresses any concerns that we may have. Both dogs are comfortable here.

We are MORE THAN grateful to have Dr. John and his crew as our vet team! He is ALWAYS understanding in the fact that our one dog has an anxiety issue every time he has to come in. I don't know if it's what our dog smells or what, but he is ALWAYS overwhelmed to come in - even if it's just to get weighed. But Dr. John's team is calm, patient, and just generally caring! We will never look for another vet! I'm SO GLAD my aunt recommended him!!!

This is by far one of the most unprofessional veterinarian clinics I have ever been to. After having to remind the receptionist to weigh the dog that was being brought in, we were then escorted to a room. When the "technician" came in, she immediately walked up to the dog without introducing herself. The dog was a bit nervous, so he did growl. She jumped back and stood there. We then suggested that maybe he could come say hi to her instead of her walking up to him. She was reluctant but agreed. The dog walked up and then wagged his tail, and another suggestion was made, "Maybe this nice lady has some treats for you." The tech starred blindly and said nothing. Then I made the comment, "Maybe there aren't any treats here." The tech then said, "we have treats..." and did nothing, again I said, "could you give him one?" Reluctantly, she did. We then asked if she wanted to listen to his heart. Since that's what she was first trying to do, she said no and walked out. I looked at my friend and said, "Oh, maybe she's new." Just suggesting maybe she's not used to the larger dog yet. It's completely normal, not making fun of anything what so ever. After waiting a good while, the veterinarian finally came in, He then aggressively walked up to the dog, which was backed in a corner. So again, he growled. The vet walked out, grabbed a muzzle, and immediately put it on this dogs face. Not introducing himself or the object he wants to restrain a scared dog with. He then felt his body and gave him an injection. Off the bat, I am going to say my friend was charged for a complete exam, but no temp taken, teeth, eyes, ears, nothing. So... what exam did he get? I can't remember which, but he then stated we or myself was making fun of his staff and that we aren't welcome with that behavior. I said we didn't make fun of anyone. After this, he then asked if we wanted to schedule a nail trim for the service dog I had with me. I said no way, Im fine, it would be for the dog that was having the appointment. He took the dog in the back and brought him back to the room after the nail trim. We checked out, and they were discussing appointments with my friend. Who has another pet nearing the end of their life. A couple hours later, they disinvited us to come to their establishment. Little strange to blatantly blame a client for making fun of your staff, and then you don't want our business?Let me also add... $22 for a nail trim at this vet, but you have to have an "exam" or what they consider an exam. That's already over $70. $12 at Petsmart, no exam, just proof of rabies vaccine. Save yourself the money.

All of the animals we've had (1 dog and 4 cats) have been patients of Dr. John and his entire team at the Compassionate Care Animal Clinic for many years now. These folks are the best, and I mean the absolute BEST at what they do! I would highly recommend them to anyone without any hesitation whatsoever!

I have a pretty nervous rescue dog, but the staff are all so calm and kind that I’m repeatedly shocked at how well she does! I was nervous at first because I’ve had rough vet experiences in the past, but there haven’t been any problems. I will always recommend Compassionate Care to anyone I know

Dr Jon and all of his staff are amazing! The care they gave my dog during her emergency c section on a Friday night after hours was loving! In addition to the follow up calls just to see how she and pups were doing is sweet and shows they all care. Dr. Jon is passionate and shows compassion. Thanks Compassionate care for all you do!

My dog was diagnosed with nasal cancer, we had to travel 50 minutes to appointments. Dr. John allowed us to do some things with him to save the trips. He also helped with pharmaceutical needs. His, and the staffs "compassion" and concern was more then usual. I'm so glad we switched years ago. I have been to many vets in the past, but this is the best facility we have experienced. Cody says Thank you Dr. John!

Love Dr John and the whole staff! Just went through the loss of our sweet Molly and they were amazing through the whole process of the end of her time. And with our new dog Missy, they were very informative because we didn’t have much history of her. Thanks for everything!
