Dr. Brandon and his staff saved my dogs life. He is compassionate knowledgeable and kind. Our dog, Shiloh, was seeing another vet but had been having symptoms for almost 5 months which went undiagnosed and were getting worse. In desperation, I called the Heineke Vet office on a Sunday and left a message, hoping Shiloh would make it through the night.

I received a phone call at 8 AM the next morning and brought Shiloh in right away. After a full examination and an x-ray, he was diagnosed with megaesophagus. I was given hope that with proper care he would be able to thrive again and he has. Shiloh was 14 years old but has recently passed away. Even then, we have received so much support and encouragement through this sad and difficult time. I could not recommend Dr. Brandon, his staff, and the entire practice highly enough. Words cannot express our gratitude and how much it has meant to our family.

They are the best. We switch our Mini Pincher to them and we were so grateful for their staff. They were caring, professional, and honest about the needs for your pet. I highly recommend them for all of your pet's needs. Thank you Dr. Brandon Heineken and staff for taking care of Brody.

Dr. Brandon Heineke is the best vet ever. He is so compassionate with each animal he treats. I have been taking my dogs to him since he started practicing. He answers any concerns you have and his staff is always there to help you. I highly recommend him and Heineke Veterinary Hospital.

We absolutely love Heineke Vet! Our dogs know the phrase "Do you want to go see Dr. Brandon?" and lose their minds jumping in circles on the way to the car. Doc is always great with our rabbits, too. The staff is fantastic and friendly. Everything is explained to us before, during, and after any procedure. We recommend them to everyone we know.

I brought my beloved pet into Dr. Barry for euthanization after a very unfortunate event with another local veterinary hospital. As it turned out, my girl had a mind of her own and passed on the table while the staff was preparing for the procedure. Dr. Barry's kindness and compassion was beyond belief. He made an absolutely unbearable situation so much better by his kind words and deeds.

I will forever be grateful to Heineke Veterinary Hospital for being there at one of the hardest times of my life, and not only meeting my desperate needs, but exceeding them. Thank you, Dr. Barry. God bless you!

Our pup, Lucy, had been getting very sick every month to 3 months and was getting temps up to 105. After dealing with another local vet and spending thousands, we decided it was time to try someone new. Brandon was able to do something that the other vet never did in our very first visit; give us answers. The staff is welcoming and they fit us into their busy schedule with absolutely no warning. I called on a random week day, and they had us in at 8am the next day. Fantastic location that my family highly recommends. Lucy now appears to be on the road to recovery.

Dr. Brandon and his team were the most passionate and caring veterinarian team I've ever experienced. I would highly recommend them for all of their services! We will continue to take our fur baby Pete there for all of his future veterinarian needs! They are actually a 10 star veterinarian in our book! Thank you Dr. Brandon and team for everything you've done for us!

My dog Muffin has been here twice and each time it has been exceptional service. The first time was for a stomach problem that they quickly diagnosed and treated. The second time to get spayed. Dr Brandon and the lovely vet tech Krystall took exceptional care of her. The communication from Dr. Brandon and the vet tech throughout the entire process was such a relief and rare these days.

And my dog loved them as well as my husband and I. We look forward to the care of Muffin throughout her life with this exceptional staff. And we thank you for the top notch care and service from Dr. Brandon Krystall. Dr Brandon even called to check on Muffin when we got home. Thank you!

When our dog tore his toenail out while we were visiting family, this vet took us in immediately and treated our boy with love and care and did a great job with him and for us. We couldn't be more grateful fortheir quick response and for the comssion they showed. 10/10 would use them if we were local.

All around fantastic practice with wonderful, caring staff. My very first visit to this vet clinic was for a sudden injury on my dog that needed to be seen same day. Heineke was not only able to get me in same day but treated my dog with such care. My dog is getting older, and I appreciated that he was taken back and treated quickly to reduce his stress.

The overall wait time was short and Brandon took time to answer all of my questions and fully explained every step of my dog's treatment. I will definitely return to this clinic for all my pets' needs!

I absolutely love this vet office! This father and son duo and their team are nothing but amazing! and if not already they should be voted the top veterinarian office in the Northern KY, tri-state area. Both doctors are very kind gentlemen and take their time while providing you and your pets the best service possible. I know my animals are safe and in great hands when they come to this office.

I am very pleased with the overall customer service provided by the entire staff too. Please listen to the reviews if your considering this vet office for your fur babies. You will not be disappointed!

Everyone that works here is so sweet and amazing! We had a sick dog that they squeezed into their schedule. She ended up needing emergency surgery that day and everyone was so accommodating and comforting to me while I was so scared for our dog. They called me every step of the way and took such good care of our Luna! She's home resting now and recovering thanks to everyone at Heineke!

Dr. Heineke and his team are truly amazing. I have never been so impressed with how professional a group of people have done their jobs. They truly care so much about the well being of your animals. I had never been to this animal hospital before and while I was out of town, my dog had an emergency and without question, they welcomed her in with open arms and went out of their way to communicate their progress to ease my mind. They even sent pictures and videos of my baby to ease my mind. They are truly the best!

The staff is wonderful. They took great care of my kitty when I wasn’t sure she was going to make it. They gave her the treatment she needed to get well. I cannot thank Dr. Brandon and the staff enough for the love and commitment they showed my pet. They treated my kitty as if she was their own.

Dr Heineke and his team are fantastic! We have a 9 week old golden doodle puppy and they were wonderful with her. They took time to explain her health and the shots she was given, plus were very helpful in answering all our questions. We highly recommend this place!!

They treat you like family and they actually listen to your concerns. Our dog had a fly get in his ear this morning. I called them when they opened they got me right in. Dr. Brandon was able to get it out. Brandon addressed all of my other concerns about Charlie and I feel much better with my concerns. If you want a vet that you have faith that he truly cares about your pet this is the place to go.

Absolutely love Heineke! Dr. Barry & Dr. Brandon are phenomenal! Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff! We left our previous vet of 20 yrs and it was the best decision we made for our animals. We have 10 animals and they did not hesitate to take us in. Our previous vet made it seem like the only option for our elderly handicapped cat was euthanasia and that was not the case at all when we first visited Heineke.

They went over every option possible to have the best quality of life for our cat and never once mentioned euthanizing him. I truly and honestly believe they care and love animals as much as the owners! They have worked with us on payments and appointments. They make sure to include you in every step of your animals health. They're truly a blessing to our family!

I felt welcomed with the first phone call setting up first time visits for some of my pets.
Dr. Heineke and I had a pleasant chat about his practice which I thought was super nice. The staff are very friendly and most accommodating. And a special thanks to Kim for your patience helping with my pets records.

I moved and still drive almost 45 min to bring my dogs in to Heineke. Great vets who care about my animals and always provide excellent care. Not trying to push unnecessary services like some vets. Wonderful, friendly staff. I highly recommend!!!
