Merrillville Animal Hospital - Dr. Alicia Gustafson DVM

Dr. Gustafson has taken wonderful care of our pets in the past years. She is always honest with her recommendations on treatment; And from past positive experiences, we feel confident leaving our animals in her team's care if they have to be dropped off. Great asset to the neighborhood and would recommend her services to anyone with a fur baby.

I brought my cat in because he needed a tooth pulled. Had a very bad experience with a vet in Lake Station so my friend told me about MAH. Dr A was awesome. She showed me everything that was wrong with my cats mouth and after the surgery... she showed me pictures of the work she did... pictures!!!! Dude... what vet has ever showed you pictures ( kinda bloody and gross but still). Dr A is my new vet. Hands down best in town. The pics are him with his snaggle tooth, him in a soft collar ( not happy lol) and him all healed.. chilling in his fav chair.

In office visit was very professional but that’s where it ended. Our visit was over a month ago and the vet has not called with results even though I have called numerous times. Customers should not have to wait over 30 days to get the results of bloodwork.

Found an abandoned kitten and wanted to make sure it wasn't chipped. They made us wait in the parking lot for 20 to 30 minutes and weren't very clear at to how long it would take. We almost gave up. They eventually scanned it and as I suspected it had no chip. But what an awful experience to go through with this poor baby!

I cannot even begin to explain how grateful my family and I are that we found Merrillville Animal Hospital. We discovered them about a year, year and a half ago. Our sweet doggy girl, Leia, was a Great Dane and she faced many pestering health issues in her lifetime. Other vets in the area that we took her to completely gouged us for money just to simply give her repetitive medicine that she needed for recurring health issues. Immediately off the bat, Dr. Gustafson could see that the issues Leia was facing were no walk in the park. She truly cared for her with love in her heart. Unfortunately, last week we had to let our sweet girl cross the Rainbow Bridge. Dr. Gustafson was gracious, empathetic, and full of compassion and love during one of life's most difficult moments. I will never be ab
