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 :-)!

    I live in the east suburbs of Pittsburgh. I take my B to Norwin Veterinary Associates. Ask for Dr. Harvey Bendix, if he is available. He diagnosed Senji with his liver disease and basically saved his life. He's open to alternative as well as traditional medicine.

    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!

    @Phebese: We take Max to the Banfield in the Petsmart on Cobb Pkwy in Acworth. We have gone to many different veterinarians but only found two that we feel comfortable with. We have the Banfield insurance which really helps, but most importantly he is comfortable going there and we trust them. He has been there twice in the past couple of weeks getting a cyst removed. They call in between appointments to check on him and see if we have any concerns. We do not like all the Banfield clinics, in fact the one on 92 we did not like. Another good vet is Randy Esbeck at Sawnee Animal Clinic 770-887-1900. He is a Basenji specialist. It's in Cumming Georgia. It's just to far for us to go. Good Luck, Max's Mom (Emily) As they say, it is not the place but the Vet that is working there…. so while many of the Banfield clinic might not be good, when you luck into a good Vet.. that makes the clinic... IMO
