"With all that is happening lately they are all ways there for our Missy. There keeping everyone safe and hopefully there self's safe. Thank you from Missys mom and dad."

"Very good experience. Doing contactless appointment during Covid made us feel very safe. We were still able to get all our questions answered and our dog the care he needed. "

"You’re doing great! I love that I can call and actually talk to a person who actually cares about my pet and my business. Then, when I pulled up they were ready to help me and my pet. Dr Barta called and explained everything over the phone and helped me decide what my pet needed - he is always so kind and caring. This is the best vet office I have been to - and I have had a lot of pets!"

"I would never take my dog anywhere else. Dr. Barta and staff are so gentle and comforting handling the pets. The desk personnel try so hard to set an appointment even with a full schedule. They are all polite and professional."

"We were pleased with how quick yet how thorough our visit was especially with having everything curbside! It was a great experience and we plan to switch our older dog to your office as well!!"

"I love how the Dr called me from my car to make sure everything they were doing for that visit was what I was expecting. The technician who came out to get my dog was so sweet and helpful because our dog is very anxious I am glad we found them to take care of our little girl!!"

"With the current pandemic I wasn’t able to go inside with my dog but from our previous visits I trusted them with him completely. The wait was short even though I was early and they were super quick since all he needed was a blood test. We won’t be going anywhere else, this staff has been fantastic and we couldn’t possibly find better. "

"Dr Barta and team are simply the best. We drove back from Traverse City to have our special needs kitty taken care of. The team at Veterinary General are professional and so compassionate and caring. Thank you so much! "

"During this unique time, you guys handled our appointment effortlessly. Did not stress one bit when they took our new kitty in without us - we know you guys are the best and love our animals as much as we do."

"Great experience even with Covid 19 precautions in place! Very considerate and kind staff members!"

"I liked the precautions you are taking against the COVID-19. I was also glad you stock the special urinary diet my dog has been prescribed as Chewy was over a week late in delivering the food and I was down to 3 cans left. "

"I am new to the Shelby area. Dr. Barta came highly recommended. I am not disappointed. "

"This was my first time at Veterinary General and I had a great experience. Dr. Lisa listened to all of my concerns and did a thorough examination of my pup. She wasn't rushing to get to the next appointment and she explained everything thoroughly. Thank you!"

"I always have a great experience with Veterinary General. The entire staff is friendly and inviting. Dr. Barta and Dr. Lisa are top notch vets who are personable and patient with my pets. I love that I’m almost immediately placed into an exam room so there’s no chaos in the lobby. And there’s never long wait times compared to other vets. I will always take my pets here!"

"The staff is the friendliest and nicest of any veterinarian provider I have ever been to. They have great hours and I am always able to get an appointment as soon as I need one. The doctors explain things in a way that help you understand what is going on with your pet. I would recommend this place to anyone."

"Great people and great care...My cat has received excellent care at this vet. They knew exactly what he needed. I would highly recommend them. The staff is very friendly and helpful."

"We appreciate that you were able to get our pet past his severe allergy problems for the season. Your staff is always helpful and polite. Thank you."

"I love how much care is given into my dog when I come in. :) "

"Wonderful service from the minute we walked in. My dog CAN get a little snarky but everyone is so patient and kind with him and it makes the experience so much better. Thank you to everyone at Veterinary General!"

"Veterinary General is by far the BEST veterinary office in all of Macomb County! The doctors, veterinary technicians, and all other staff are very caring, friendly, and knowledgeable. The care my dog has received has been exemplary and I couldn’t ask for more. The vet office is extremely clean, smells actually good (essential oils are diffused), and they take great pride in their work. Please consider them for all your veterinary needs. I know you won’t be disappointed. "

"Since we got Aegis, we were referred to you guys through Pets for Patriots, and we appreciate the care that Aegis gets every time we bring her in. With our new edition Moose, my wife and I are always happy to bring them in because the staff treat Aegis and Moose like their own pets. Aegis and Moose are not afraid to go in, they know that they are going to be treated well, and when we use the word "vet" they don't become apprehensive to go. Great Job guys. HOORAH!!!"

"I liked that you gave my pet time to get to know you before starting her exam. I loved that you had the calming bandannas. It really made my pet at ease for her visit."

"We brought Zin to Veterinary General as a puppy. After investigating vets in the area, you were our first choice and we've never regretted it. We know that we can call with any questions or concerns without being made to feel stupid. Zin has been a patient for 5 years and will continue there because we demand only the best for our baby. "

"I switched to Veterinary General about 9 months ago from another local vet. Honestly, I never knew that I wasn't getting great care at the other vet until I met Dr Barta and his staff. They are MILES above any other vet I have been to. Dr Barta knows so much about all areas of pet health. He gave me options for my allergic pet that I had never heard of, and they worked! The staff here is so kind and loving to my dog, he is actually happy to walk in the door for our visits. I truly feel that my dog will live a longer, healthier life because we switched to Veterinary General."

"Dr Lisa and staff were very caring and took time to listen to us talk to us and help us make informed decisions. There was no pressure to make decisions. We felt very cared for. We feel we made a comfortable decision for Shadow’s care and look forward to bringing his brother Dude in "

"I was very impressed that even though you were booked on Sunday, that the receptionist thought enough to call and squeeze us in first thing in the am on Monday. I was so impressed how it was so busy but yet everyone worked together like a well oiled machine and we did not have to wait long and cashed us out quickly right in the room. "

"Not one complaint. Dr. Barta is the best vet I've ever been to, you can tell he truly cares about animals. Before coming to Vet General I had been to Wilson Vet in Romeo, which is just an assembly line and Macomb Vet on Van Dyke and there it was all about the money..it was just a job to them. Dr. Barta truly cares. I recommend Vet General to everyone!"

"I truly appreciate the availability of the staff and vets to offer evening and weekend appointments. Everyone in the office is incredibly kind, welcoming, and thorough in their explanations of what they are doing and why. It takes me almost an hour sometimes to get to Veterinary General, but the pleasant and professional people who work there make it well worth the drive. "

""Pets" are family and at Vet General they treat our pets as such. The staff are informed, kind and professional. Even in the critical times they are there right by your side and allow you to make the best decision for our family members. One of the key things for me is the physicians/vets spend as much time as you need and explain everything. I would recommend Vet General to everyone!!! "

"Super friendly staff. Very easy to get appoint and we are seen quickly. Great doc! "

"As usual you are all being the very best job ever. Dr. Barta has always been the only doctor that I can completely trust. Thank you so very much Dr. Barta"

"Vet General is doing Great! Best veterinarian experience Ever, as usual. Vet general shouldn't change a thing! Thank you All, for treating my fur child as if he were your own. ❤"

"I had a great experience everyone was so friendly, My dog was so happy . Thank you for the great Service "

"The fact that I moved 30 miles and did not change a vet for Csar and Luna says everything. Love the fact that you always help me out with availability and sometimes short notices to bring my guys :)"

"Dr. Barta is awesome. He gets on the floor with my dog (and me) and acts like my dog is one of his own dogs. Very personable and will explain any issues in terms that even I can understand! "

"Visit was good - Doctor was thorough, explained everything & even asked what worked best for us. Also didn't have to wait long at all. After seeing other Animal facilities, was relieved to be in such a Clean environment! Thank You, you're doing great!"

"I cannot day one bad thing about Dr. Barta and the team at Veterinary General. You guys go above and beyond to make my baby boy Oscar feel comfortable and I know he is safe in your care. I know you guys care about my dogs safety and love him like he’s your own. Even though I have moved I still go to Veterinary Gerneral because of the caring people and expertise. Always up front and honest about costs and what’s best for my dog. Thank you! "

"I find the office clean and neat. Personnel are friendly and helpful. Glad we changed vets. Duke is happy too☺"

"Everything is always perfect! Dr Barta assistants, office staff. Anything you need any questions you may have are always answered and no one makes you feel like they are rushed. "

"I simply cannot say anything bad. From the minute you walk in until the time you leave, everyone makes you feel so very welcome there. And how can anyone not absolutely love Dr. Barta? He is beyond awesome! I recommend your office too many people because of the stellar care we receive there."

"Everyone is very helpful and extremely informative. It's so nice not to have to wait forever as I had to at my previous vet. They understand that under my circumstances (financially) I am trying to do the best I can for my sick little guy. "

"Veterinary General is the best experience for veterinary care. I have ALWAYS had excellent service and was treated with respect. I feel my pets are in the best hands for all their needs."

"Dr. Barta and staff are very dedicated to the proper care of pets and client needs. They are there when needed and give guidance and suggestions in other pet related issues. My pets are in the best hands possible."

"Dr. Lisa is awesome! She is so thorough and leaves nothing unanswered. "

"Our kitty, Rasha, is still with us, thanks to the excellent care given by Dr Barta and his team. They are simply outstanding. We would never consider taking our kitty to anyone else. Thank you Veterinary General!!"

"Dr. Barta is the best. He's very thorough in his exams and he explains all details so they're easily understood. I recommend him to all friends with pets. Doing a great job!"

"There is NO better than Dr. Barta and his Veterinary General Staff! The girls treat and love on Rocco as if he’s their own and I trust Dr. Barta more than any Vet we’ve ever had to visit - wish my doctors were as thorough and wonderful as Dr. Barta! I love this practice and everyone that works within!!!"

"Excellent !! All Courteous and super friendly , in and out, Caring!! Glad I found a new place for my dog to get checked and cared for !! And clean and smells good in there—many places lack this Thank u!!!"

"I love Dr. Barta and the staff there! My dog Winnie and cat Thumper always receive the best care. Everyone there is competent and extremely caring regarding my pets. Winnie was recently diagnosed with Addison Disease and Dr. Barta knew right away and helped us essentially save Winnie from death during her crisis. Our pets are family and knowing they are in good hands at your clinic means the world to us. Thank you for everything you do!!!!! Christina, Jon and Isla Watt ❤❤❤"

"The first time I came to Veterinary General, Dr Barta met me outside and helped my dog into the exam room. My dog is older (14) and that was very helpful to me. All of the staff members were very helpful and friendly. My dog had blood work done and Dr. Barta called the next day with the results. I was very pleased with the first visit and will be taking my other two dogs there as well."

"Doing a great job. Office and rooms are clean. Very professional and helpful. Keep up the good work."

"Did not have appointment for pet. Other facilities said we had to wait up to two weeks for an appointment. The vet and staff were able to see my pet, Nelson. Staff is excellent. Facility was very clean. I found a vet and staff that I feel very comfortable with . Nelson was very happy that they were able to diagnose his eye problem and now we are on the road to recovery"

"I always feel welcomed and at home. The staff is friendly and never outwardly "down." They are always optimistic that we can find a solution to our pets needs. They truly care about animals and families that own them. "

"From the first time I stepped into the office, the receptionist was polite,, very professional and helpful. The appointment process was easy (unlike Wilson Hospital). Dr. Barta and the entire staff are very compassionate, take the time to answer questions and genuinely care for animals. I left feeling very glad I decided to come to Vet. General for my Gizmo's care. Looking forward to a long, positive experience."

"I always experience friendly staff and doctors that take their time with my pets. I also appreciate that I’m not waiting in the waiting room for hours. Best vet around!"

"Veteranary General is the third vet we've been to since we've adopted our beautiful dog/son. They have hands down been the most caring and accommodating veterinary clinic and they pretty much saved our dog's life through the care they have provided! Thank you so much for your weekend/extended week night hours!"

"Very friendly staff, I loved that there was no wait to get into a room and see the vet. I felt like everyone was very genuine with caring for my dog. I felt good when leaving, feeling my dog was in good hands."

The overall cost for services was outstanding. As long as I stay in this area I will continue to utilize your services for Candi."

"Dr. Barta and Dr. Lisa are consummate professionals. They are patient with not just their pet clientele, but with pet owners as well. All of the vet techs are personable, kind, and take time to explain preventative care and provide upcoming vaccination reminders. I feel I'm in good hands entrusting the care of my dog, Harper, at Veterinary General. "

"I love you all!! Everyone that has helped me & Stella have always made us feel special & well taken care of!! I can't even think of going to any other place for my babies! Thank you so much!"

Also, I love how clean it smells from the diffuser at the front! "

"We love bringing our pets into Veterinary General. You guys are compassionate and attentive to the needs of our animals each and every time we walk through the door. We wouldn’t take our 4 pooches anywhere else! "

"Dr. Barta was extremely helpful in providing me with a thorough explanation on my dogs skin condition. He went over all alternative treatment options with me including fees from most expensive to least. Being in the medical field myself I found this to be a great approach as it helped me make an educated decision on how to approach my dogs condition. He payed attention to details about my dog and addressed all findings. I'm happy to say in just 5 days I already see a huge improvement with my dog and would definitely recommend him. "

"Every time I am at Veterinary General I have a wonderful experience. Every staff member is friendly and helpful. Dr. Barta is great with the animals and provides a wealth of knowledge to how to help them. I recently came in because my dog Zoey had a skin infection and a large hot spot, I am following Dr. Barta's strict regimen and she is getting better fast. "

"I’m very happy that I found Dr Barta because he saved my Emma six years ago. He also is taking such good care of my “grand dog “ Morgan Becker. Both Jill and I are so grateful."

"Doing great! No wait, quick service and reasonable pricing....you're the best"

"Best experience at a vet I've ever had. "

"I couldn't be more pleased with Veterinary General. I feel the doctors and the staff are very pleasant, professional and go out of their way to make sure the animal is helped. I have had emergency calls, without a previous appointment, and have never been refused to have my pet seen. The care has been exceptional and I am very grateful. Without the doctors at Veterinary General I wouldn't have my little guy today."

"After dealing with Wilson's, coming to Veterinary General is a refreshing experience."

"I love the Sunday appointments!"

"Dr.Barta and the entire staff have been wonderful from the very first appointment with my Spanky. You all have provided our Spanky with the utmost care and we are very grateful. The hours are more than accommodating, the fact that I live minutes away, priceless! "

"I took my four dogs, Dolce, Davey, Simon and Bentley in for their regular nail trims. The girl did a wonderful job as usual on their nails, and you got us in and out quickly, which is so important because Dolce gets upset so easily inside the vet. Thank you again!"

"Very impressed how professional and pleasant the staff is. Glad to have Dr. Lisa to care for Chloe, she helped me decide to have Chloe get that operation. I think if I waited any longer Chloe wouldn't be around to make us laugh as she does!"
