Pet Parents Say

Loved by Madison's Pet Families

★★★★★
I've trusted Maplewood with three dogs over fifteen years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. They treat my pets like their own — gentle, thorough, and genuinely loving. When we had to say goodbye to our old boy, the compassion they showed our whole family was something I'll never forget.
Karen M.Dog parent, Nakoma
★★★★★
My cat is terrified of everything, but the Fear-Free approach here is the real deal. The team is so patient and gentle that she actually tolerates her visits now. Clean, calm, and clearly run by people who adore animals. Worth every penny.
David R.Cat parent, Vilas
★★★★★
When my puppy swallowed something he shouldn't have, Maplewood saw us same-day and handled the whole scary situation with calm and care. They explained everything, the pricing was transparent, and they followed up the next day. They saved his life and earned a client for good.
Priya S.Puppy parent, Westmorland
★★★★★
The senior-care program has given my fourteen-year-old lab a whole new lease on life. The vets caught issues early, adjusted her care thoughtfully, and never push unnecessary treatments. Honest, expert, and kind — exactly what you want for an aging best friend.

Good to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes — we'd love to welcome you and your pet to the Maplewood family! Simply request a visit online or give us a call, and we'll get your new-patient appointment booked, usually within a few days. New furry family members are always welcome.

What does 'Fear-Free' actually mean?

Fear-Free is a certification in gentle handling that reduces a pet's stress, fear, and anxiety during visits. In practice, it means treats, patience, soft voices, non-slip surfaces, and never forcing a frightened animal. The result is calmer, happier visits — and better medicine, because a relaxed pet is easier to examine.

Do you see emergencies or same-day sick pets?

Yes. We hold same-day appointments open for sick and urgent cases during our regular hours, because we know waiting is awful when your pet is unwell. For after-hours emergencies, we'll always point you to the nearest 24-hour emergency hospital and share your pet's records.

What animals do you treat?

We provide complete care for dogs and cats of every breed, age, and temperament. If you have another kind of companion, give us a call — we're happy to help where we can or refer you to a trusted specialist who's the right fit.

How does pricing work?

We believe in honest, transparent pricing with no surprises. We'll always discuss costs and options with you before proceeding, provide written estimates for procedures, and only recommend the care your pet genuinely needs. We're happy to talk through payment and pet-insurance options too.

Can I stay with my pet during the visit?

Absolutely — for most exams and procedures, we encourage it. Your calm presence often helps your pet feel safer, and we love that you want to be involved. For certain procedures where it's safest for your pet, we'll explain why and keep you closely updated throughout.
