The staff at Pelican Rapids Animal Hospital is fabulous!! They are always friendly and our 4 legged family members are always so happy to see them. They are responsive and accommodating to our needs and have squeezed our pups in when we have concerns. Thank you Dr. Henkes and staff for always taking care of us (animals and humans)!

I have received the most incredible care, concern and compassion from the PRAH team for years. They have always taken their time to explain things well and listen to my input. I know they genuinely love animals… (Esp my little nugget, Dori ❣️). My doggie was always comfortable there, too. Scrambled right in the door - bc it's such a good place.

We've always had great experiences over the past almost seven years we've brought Elli to PRAH (and formerly Weckwerth). Whether it was a regular wellness checkup or an unscheduled medical issue, they've always provided appropriate care with gentle kindness. We've never felt rushed and everyone seemed more than willing to spend as much time as we needed to answer our questions.

Genuinely cares about the animals. Tried to do what is best while also respecting the owner's wishes and financial capability.

We have been bringing out pets here for over 25 years. They do an amazing job at listening to what the issue is as well as spending time with the pets to get their "perspective"! We thank them for their caring and kindness!

Sadly, we put our 18 year old cat, Patch, down at PRAH. They have cared for Patch for many years. Wonderful caring and great staff.

I am so thankful for this vet! I have been impressed with their ability for flexible scheduling, affordable services, and the care they provide to my fur babies. I have been going here for over 3 years and have had a good experience each time. They have been available for emergencies involving back issues, eye and ear injuries, and even mailing… needed meds or other items. They are so compassionate and easy to work with. I also appreciate that they provide me with information so I can make the best decision based off the available options and recommendations.

Today was Lilly's first day at the clinic and she was a little nervous at first but the great staff and Dr. Sarah put her at ease. We will be back and thank you for being punctual with the appointments. Nothing is harder than waiting in the lobby with a stressed pup.

A month ago my dog Duke passed away due to a toxic response from a medication. When I brought him into Dr. Bent, he did not take my concerns to heart. Rather, he ran $400 worth of useless tests - with no answers. When I told him I thought it was a toxic response, he laughed off my concern and said “you can find anything on the internet. I could… find that a dog died due to water because he drown in his own water dish.”
We ran every test Dr. Bent requested and the only recommendation and option we received was to give Duke and anti-nausea shot. This I refused because he was vomiting

I have a seasonal home near Pelican Rapids, and have used Weckwerth for both routine and emergency care for my 3 dachshunds. Dr. Brett, Alexis, and the entire staff have always been very kind, courteous, and helpful. Their prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend them!
