I had a great experience bringing Kitty for a procedure. Friendly staff that genuinely seems to care about the animals they see. I loved to see Kitty being carried around by the Dr's, quite happy, and because cats are excellent judges of character, I knew I could trust the staff : And in the end, the cost was far below what was quoted, because of a distinct lack of complications with the procedure. They could have easily charged me full cost and I would have been none the wiser. I'll definitely be making Camden Hospital for Animals our new Kitty doctor!

Wow. I was shocked when our vet couldn't fit our emergency choking dog in and was relieved Camden Animal Hospital could see our dog and remove the obstruction in 5 minutes. Excellent animal care from people that care!
