This year will be 7 years of going to Dougherty Vet Clinic for my Guinea pig(s). Dr. Jeanetta, who has since retired, took amazing care of both my piggies. During my oldest piggies last few months she helped ease my fears about her illness and prescribed Peanut some pain meds to make her a little more comfortable in her final moments. Peanut had a very peaceful passing thanks to Dr. Jeanetta. Sylvia is still “rocking and rolling” at nearly 7 years old! She will now be seeing Dr. Emma in April and I look forward to meeting her and showing off my old piggy. Thanks Dougherty for taking care of both my piggies through every of their stages of lives!
Dr. Jeanetta saved my last dog's life with an emergency surgery. My dog lived another 6 years after that.
When I got my new dog about a year ago. She had a persistent UTI. We were seen by another vet in duluth that was significantly more expensive and never cured her UTI. We were seen at the U of M who also failed to cure her infection.
We finally got in to see Dr. Licht at Dougherty clinic. She cured my puppy's UTI within a week. I appreciate all the care we've gotten over the years and won't go anywhere else. Not to mention, what they charge is significantly less than other local vets
Pretty sure I’ve already left at least one 5 star review previously, but still after 7+ years of using Dougherty, I can’t express enough how much I love them. I truly cannot say enough good things about this clinic & all of the outstanding staff. I have never & will never even consider a different clinic
