My almost 19yr old kitty Daku went to see Dr Mason for the first time and not only was she a good girl, she ate the Churro not even noticing she was being poked and prodded. Wonderful support from Courtney as well.

Dr. Mason and all of the staff are fabulous. I have a very aloof Australian Shepherd that does not like being handled by people he doesn’t know. Every staff member is exceptionally kind and it’s clear they care deeply about making the animals they see feel safe. I’m extremely grateful they take the time to work with me to ensure my dog has the best experience possible.

Amazing experience so far bringing in my young cat that has glaucoma. The most important thing to me is detailed communication, and the level of communication was perfect. I recently moved to the West side of Madison and I'm so glad that I found a great veterinary clinic close to me.

Freaking fantastic. My cat has been having some issues and the vet I went to in the past made it hard to understand what she was thinking and the plan for the future. Dr Mason was so understanding and explained things really simplistically. My cat is also a bit of a spicy boy when getting shots or his nails clipped. The vet in the past was panicking and asking to sedate him. Dr Mason listened to my concerns and they put some gloves on and gave him breaks. They were super understanding of my financial situation as well.

We moved here to Madison and I did alot of research and such to pick a vet. They have been amazing every time with communication and being so helpful. They are able to get our pup in fast when he was sick and the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. I love they know our dog when they come in its great that they know our dog & he isn't just another patient.

I took in a cat 7 months ago after owner passed away and children were going to put him down. I was not (really still am not) a cat person and had an old dog at the time but was not going to let an innocent animal be put down because people have no hearts or soul. At first I was going to keep him until I found him a home but shortly after I got him that changed. Despite being allergic to cats and not wanting one, I decided I was going to keep him. It was evident he was scared and neglected and was limping. This was his previous vet. I was told (have the text to prove it) he is about 8, has occasional blood in urine but that’s ok (when is it EVER ok for human OR animal????), and missing a toe. First vet appointment in November with my vet and he is NOT 8 but is 14, had a lot of health issues untreated, NOT missing a toe but had TWO nails grown into pad, and despite several attempts from my vet and myself to have previous records sent, nothing ever was. I am so pissed at the neglect from the owner (he had no cat instincts, had no idea what a cat tree was, how to play with toys, is afraid of heights, to name a few) but a heck of a lot more pissed at his previous vet, this place. Your job is to take care of pets. How does a doc NOT see two nails growing into an animal’s paws and let them limp?????? How does a trained vet not realize an animal is older than they are????? How in the world can a vet EVER say blood in urine is ok???????? Thank God my doc and vet clinic have my boy under their care. He has a lot of issues but he is thriving more than ever. I can say that his end of life is a hell of a lot better than the beginning no thanks to this horrible place.
