Long has been so great to my boys for both vet services and boarding. While boarded, staff even alerted me to a small tumor growing in one of my dogs that I hadn't noticed yet. It was growing rapidly and they were able to get him in quickly for surgical removal. Boarding tip: they book up quickly so don't delay on booking!

The best vet clinic. Dr Leighr truly cares about all of his patients. He takes the time to answer questions or address any concerns, even though he's very busy.

We've been using Long Veterinary for a few years now. I wish we would have found them a long time ago. Finally got a solution for my dog that three other places didn't figure out. I highly recommend them for all your animal needs.

We love Long's. My family and I have been taking animals to Long's for more than 20 years. Dr. Leighr is the best Vet that I have seen. He has done everything from well puppy visits to Emergency C-sections and limb amputations on livestock. Very caring, knowledgeable and phenomenal bedside manner, always takes the time to explain everything.

We have gone to Dr. Leighr at Long Vet for many years. Most recently he was able to diagnose a disease (Dysautononia) that two other places completely missed (one vet in smithville and the other a emergency hospital in Mission, KS). Although the disease is fatal, he was able to have our dog finally diagnose correctly and made him as comfortable as possible.

Long Vet doctors and staff are educated and take your feelings into consideration. The clinic is clean and the staff has always been friendly. I will never go to another vet again! Thank you, Dr. Leighr for listening to us and doing everything you possibly could for my beloved dog. He will be missed.

We have been at Long Vet for 2 years. Recently, our pet had an emergency over the weekend. Long Vet got us in over the weekend, and the ER visit didn't crush our bank account. It was a completely reasonable ER fee. Dr. Leighr was so thorough, and even looked up some extra helpful information for us while we were there. We knew what to do for our pet to get better, how to administer her medication, and she was all better within a couple days! We are so thankful for Long Vet and highly recommend it for all vet needs.

My Oakley girl did such a good job for being a puppy at her first time at the vet! And everyone there was very loving and gentle!

I came in to have the liquid drained out of a mass on my dog's hip. The lady up front asked me if I wanted to have the sample sent off to a lab to be tested and I very specifically said NO! They sent it off anyway and now they're trying to say I owe $125 before they will see any of my other pets. We are talking about a 10-year-old boxer 3 years past her life expectancy.

I expected it to be something that was terminal and there is no way I would have put her body through that kind of stress by operating on it so having it tested would have been completely worthless to me.

Took my dog here to get this teeth cleaned for the first time. They were able to book the procedure relatively quick, and did a fantastic job. Their price for the procedure is very good compared to other vets that I've price checked. Very happy with this vet and will continue to come back here!

We've been using Dr. Leighr for over a year for our horses. We are boarders at a barn 20 mins from our home so when we set appointments with him to come out there are always atleast 5 or more horses to be seen from various boarders. The 4 times we've had him out he has been 21/2 or more hours late. Today he was FIVE hours late. I sat there all day because I don't live on the property so I need to be there when he shows up.

However I ran out of time because I have a life and kids who need me at home so after five hours I had to put my horse up and leave. He clearly doesn't value our business or time and I'm done. I've made an appointment with Brisbane so we'll see how that goes! Done with Long vet clinic!

Always a great experience!

We have used Dr Leighr for more than 10 years for both equine, canine, and feline care. His prices are always reasonable and he does not try to add additional services, medication, or special pet foods that aren't needed. We have had several emergency farm calls over the years and he has always been able to arrive quickly even on weekends, nights, and holidays. If you are looking for great animal care and a fair price, I highly recommend the Long Vetrinary Clinic.

I would absolutely recommend Long Vet Clinic to anyone and everyone with both small and large breed pets. I have been taking my dogs and cats to them for years and have always been happy with our services. However, nothing compares to the service we received on October 12th, 2020. I made the decision to euthanize my best friend and beloved dog, Strudel.

She was in pain everyday from arthritis, it had become painful for her to chew and it had to be softened, she couldn't hold her bowel and bladder for very long, she lost her vision, and she had become nearly deaf. I called on Friday, October 9th to discuss what I would need to do to move forward with euthanization. The receptionist was so nice and told me they could make a trip to our home for the procedure the very next day. Dr. Leighr and his technician came to our home on a Saturday, which blows my mind, but they were empathetic to our pain, they were gentle with my sweet girl, and they were extremely respectful.

I was so upset with the fact that I was saying goodbye to my girl, that I forgot to pay them when they arrived and was too emotional after it was administered to even think of payment. Dr. Leighr kindly said he'd just send me the bill later, then quietly left us to grieve privately. We were able to hold a small funeral service, in our very own back yard and lay her body to rest in a raised flower bed I build out of cinderblocks just for her as a memorial spot.

I have never experienced a peaceful passing of a pet until that day and let me tell you. That made losing her so much easier. I felt secure in my decision seeing her simply drift away in the wind without an ounce of anxiety or pain. I looked into her eyes and watched her go. There are really no words for that. So, thank you Dr. Leighr and all the Staff at Long Vet Clinic for providing top care for pets and owners.

I have lived in Kearney Missouri for 26 years and found comfort in taking all of my pets to Dr Long. Dr.Leighr took over and my daughter had a puppy that had broke his leg and had surgery during the process he aspirated and passed away. We were not told that for two days after when it was time to pick him up. Then we were told we would have to pay for the surgery meds, cremation before taking his ashes.

The whole story was unbelievable in the first place so i had called to talk to Dr Leighr after another day went past he called and was extremely rude. Long story short i Do Not recommend Long Veterinarian clinic to anyone who wants a loving caring Dr to take care of your furry family members.
