Dr. med. vet. Ralph Wenkel - Halle (Saale)

Nice and sympathetic

A few months ago, I took my 14-year-old cat to Dr. Wenkell – unfortunately, for a very sad reason. My poor little guy was diagnosed with cancer that was no longer treatable, and prolonging his life would only have meant more suffering for him. I want to thank Dr. Wenkell from the bottom of my heart: for his great empathy, his patience, and for taking so much time to discuss everything with me in detail and in a way I could easily understand. He very sensitively explained to me that animals, unfortunately, cannot make decisions for themselves – and that this difficult decision therefore rests with us. The entire process was handled as gently as possible, even though it was, of course, still incredibly painful for me. Dr. Wenkell and his assistant truly did everything they could to make this difficult moment as bearable and dignified as possible for me. Thank you so much for that. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Our Beagle Odin had a torn ligament, and after many phone calls to veterinarians and clinics where the waiting time was up to two months, we were advised to contact Dr. Wenkel. We were not disappointed! An extremely nice team plus a very friendly and competent veterinarian where everything was perfect, from the initial consultation to the surgery! One of the best veterinarians I have ever had the pleasure of meeting... Thank you!

We initially visited the practice to get a second opinion regarding a growth. Even on the phone, our first impression was very positive. An appointment was scheduled within a few days. You consistently get the feeling that Dr. Wenkel takes the time to provide thorough and competent advice. This sometimes results in slightly longer waiting times (though never more than 30 minutes). The entire practice team was always polite and professional. We were very satisfied with the treatment. We were particularly impressed by the excellent preparation. For example, several phone calls were made between the examination and the surgery to check on the animal's condition. Even with a major procedure, as was the case for us, you feel confident in the care.

My dog ​​and I always feel very comfortable here. The prices are reasonable. However, even with an appointment, the waiting times can sometimes be very long.
