General Petestimonials

"Since CCAC has become my primary veterinary clinic I have introduced many friends, clients and my sisters to the clinic, both of which have told me how grateful they are to have "found" a clinic with such progressive and highly qualified doctors. 
     The quality of the support staff that helps keep things moving smoothly is also important.  The first impression you get of any clinic comes from the reception staff; at CCAC you are always met with a smile and a big HELLO! 
     The welcoming atmosphere, the mere presence of the building, the modern technology, the progressive thinking, the compassion shown to the humans and animals are all things I love about CCAC but it truly is the people inside the building that keep me coming back!  THANK YOU CCAC for making an impression on my life and on the lives of my boys!"

"Sophie received excellent treatment, love and care for a foreign body removal surgery at Countrycare.  I thought when I took her back to get her stitches out she might not want to go but she ran right in and was happy to see everyone. I can't say enough to express my gratitude to Dr. Barr, Dr. Strickfaden and the staff at Countrycare for saving Sophie's life.  Every day we watch her run around and play and are so grateful she is still with us."

- Kathy M., Luxemburg
 


"We bring our English Bulldogs to CountryCare Animal Complex for many reasons.  The most important reason is trust.  We know the doctors and staff will do anything and everything they can to give our dogs the best care possible.  They are there to provide us with the professional yet understanding support that every family with pets should have.  We wouldn't trust anybody else!"

-Chris & Erin C., Kewaunee


"We love Country Care because of the sense of caring & concern we feel the minute we walk in the door. Our English cockers have been patients at Country Care  for about 11 years.  The acupuncture that was administered to Bubba for his disc issues added 6 years of quality to his life. When he passed  in 2006 Doctor Karen was there with us to share our loss. Our latest concerns are with Shore and her kidney failure and Mickey's battle with Addison's disease. Again doctor Karen never gave up until she was able to properly diagnose Mickey's condition and devise the proper treatment plan. The support staff at Country Care is always more than willing to address our many concerns.  It is comforting to know they will be there when we need them.  For us Country care is well worth the 30 min. drive from Two Rivers."

-Dean & Marilee H., Two Rivers


"My husky recently had surgery at your facility while I was mobilized for the Navy Reserve.  The care and information I personally received prior to my mobilization assured me that my pet would receive the best care in my absence and made me feel so much better about not being there.  My family had very little to worry about due to the professionalism and level of communication provided during the surgery and during the after care.  I do not  believe I would have been as reassured going anywhere else!  Thank you Country Care for your personalized, friendly and highly professional service!!!"

- Barbara M., Stevens Point


"As an overprotective 'mom' of two kitties, I know Hannah Baby & Mr. Fuzzybottoms are in good hands every time I bring them through the door to Countrycare.  Whenever I've called, the staff has been great at getting us in, answering my million questions, and giving the best treatment!  After a few surgeries as well as regular check-ups, I know the staff cares for my 'kids' as much as I do." 

-Laura O., Green Bay


"I first came to Country Care with my female German Shepherd, Fina, who had been diagnosed with pancreatitis.  I had left my previous vet's office with a bag full of pills, expensive cans of dog food and not much hope about Fina's future quality of life.  I found Country Care on the Holistic Veterinarian website.  When I arrived at Country Care I was treated with respect. Dr. Strickfaden listened to me and instead of handing me more pills she explained the various treatments that were available.  I chose the Biocom treatments for Fina and within several weeks Fina was on the road to recovery.  I now bring all my dogs to Country Care for all their needs and for boarding.  From the people who greet you at the front desk, to the technicians and the vets, everyone is very friendly, caring and professional.  I wouldn't dream of taking my dogs to any other animal hospital."

- Susan H.J., Freedom


"I trust you and truly believe you are looking out for our pets' best interests. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are off the charts. Everyone at Countrycare shows genuine compassion and concern for the pets and the owners. During the last 9 years we have brought seven of our pets to Countrycare, and the care they have received has always been top notch.  Your motto is "modern veterinary medicine with old-fashioned caring!" and you truly practice it day to day.

- Dawn & Luis V., Green Bay


"I like CountryCare because they not only take great care and concern of my pets but also of me....they don't send home a pet from their care until they know those pets are truly ready to go home and be able to take care of their own needs and I'm reassured that they've done their best to know my dog can make it on her own with my help.I have great faith in their help and care!"

- Collete A., Green Bay


"I just have to say that I was very impressed with the genuine, caring staff at Countrycare. I read a review online in which a woman stated she drove an hour to have her pets seen at your facility.  I thought, "I have to check them out".  Now, I realize what she had experienced, because I feel the same way. I have had a few good vets over the last 22 yrs for our pets, but I still felt a noticeable difference when I brought our pets to your facility.  Thank you for your professional, kind, genuine care.  We are new to the facility, but I was so impressed, that I have decided this will be our new veterinarian family."

- Shelia


"At Country Care we received very excellent care from the entire staff. Dr. Barr is incredible, honest and full of wisdom. We have had two of our Prized Great Danes to see him. His approach to alternative treatments was very welcomed as well as his belief in traditional care and tools. Both dogs are doing great., and we will continue to seek his wisdom and expertise."

- Harold & Laura G., Luxemburg


"I travel to Country Care because their philosophy and integrated care incorporates the best of conventional therapies with holistic options.  The climate is calm and engaging, and the staff are always pleasant.  I learn something new at every visit, and my animals' health and well being are enhanced.  We are greeted by name.  Veterinarians and all staff share the best success as well as end of life sadness. My family has lived many places.  Country Care is a truly unique setting, and the best veterinary care I have experienced."

- MaryAnn M., Oshkosh


"A big thanks to the staff at Country Care for caring for Ellie and Murphy, our border collies!  Everything from ACL surgery and arthritis, to paw injuries and snacking on dog bedding has been taken care of at Country Care."

- Kerry W., Maribel


"The personal interest associated with the great care from the doctors and all the staff @ Countrycare exceed any other vet experinence I've had. Dr Barr's surgical skills are above all others and Dr Strickfaden's holistic approach is unique and very helpful in difficult diagnosis situations."

- Sandy H., Greenleaf


"I just wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service that Countrycare has provided over the years.  I have horses, dogs and cats and Countrycare has always been there, diagnosing doing surgeries and treating them.  I have found the staff and doctors to be very friendly, honest and professional.  I also appreciate the fact that I can use the same clinic for my horses as well as my small animal needs."

- Linda W., Cato


"Dr. Barr has helped us through losing pets, helping our pets and just has SUCH a rapport with animals - he is in exactly the right profession. He cares, it is as simple as that - and he talks to people, not at them and he is not afraid to get down on the floor with an animal if that's what it takes; unfortunately that is not the case with most veterinarians.  So he is truly one of a kind - the kind of veterinarian that is a very rare breed and that means the world to us."

- Lynn & Marvin H., Green Bay


"I am truly amazed at the care we received for Rambo and Rudy. Dr Barr is very caring and treated both our dogs like we would treat them."

- Nancy K., Green Bay

"Words cannot express our gratitude for your kindness and attention towards Georgia. She is as good as new -- maybe even a little better. Thank you for the miracle of a healthy life!!!"

-Jane & David F., Shawano
