Vet near Champlin, Minnesota

Basenji Health Issues & Questions
  • Hi Everyone -

    I was wondering if anyone has a great vet to recommend that is close to Champlin, Minnesota or the surrounding Minneapolis area that is familiar with basenjis? I have been going to a vet for over a year but not to happy with them and now that I have two b (just got a little one in January) I was wondering if anyone has had good luck with one in this area?

    Thank you!!

  • I live in Blaine so maybe this is a little too far but I highly recommend my vet - Dr. Carlos Gandara at Companion Vet Hospital (Co. 10 across from Northtown Mall). He has treated both of my previous basenjis, diagnosed the weird fungal disease that hit EL D, and is very highly thought of at the University Vet Hospitals. And he is very receptive to learning new treatments if he doesn't know something. He's personable and funny and I wouldn't go to anyone else.

  • Blaine is not too far from me. I will have to check this place out. I really appreciate the reply as this is very helpful! Thank you!

  • Let me know when you go, maybe our dogs can visit afterwards.

  • That would be great! How many Bs do you have? I am always looking for more B people to meet and have playdates with! I have 4 yr old male and a 9 week old female. My 4 yr old LOVES dogs and people so he is always up for playdate :-)!

    Is there anyone out in the New Jersey area (or knows of a site that I can be directed to) who knows of any vets that have knowledge of Basenjis? We have a 4 month old Basenji and our breeder took her to the vet at 8 wks but she hasnt been to one since so I've been looking for a good vet for a standard visit and cant seem to find one who knows about Basenjis (well all the vets Ive talked to, act like they know about them but you can tell they've never had one as a patient ;0 Thanks for the help!

    A great thing about where you live in MA is that if there was something your regular vet couldn't handle, you have both Tufts and Angell Memorial within a reasonable driving distance.

    Though my dogs have not had a reaction to a vaccine, I tend to err on the side of caution when it comes to vaccines. I would rather give a benadryl to help prvent a reaction then wait and hope for the best. I say this because my cat had a severe vaccine reaction after his rabies shot. Within 20 minutes of the shot he was vomiting, the hair at the vaccination site fell out and the site became swollen. We had to rush him back to the vet to be treated for the reaction.
