Horrible staff that don't know what they are talking about, vets don't listen to concerns. I got my puppies vaccines here and once my puppy was displaying bloody diarrhea and throwing up, they told me it was coccidia and to treat for that. Ten days went by and the treatment worked but they didn't tell me when I needed to retest his stool. After treatment my puppy started to vomit daily, I called them trice and they continued to put me on hold and never call me back or care about my concerns and told me that they don't test for parvo unless there are symptoms. Went to another vet and they confirmed in 10 minutes my dog had parvo.

I would steer clear until they change their operations back to normal. Their walk in hours are 0730-1200. I was told one day there was a 3 hour wait and to come back first thing another morning. So that's what I did. I was in the parking lot at 0730,c alled, and immediately placed on hold for 15-20 minutes, it finally rang through and I was placed back on hold, then sent to a voicemail box and hung up on.
Meanwhile multiple cars had come in the parking lot behind me. Fearful I would lose my place in line, I tried to pop my head in the office and explain what happened. They rudely motioned that I had to call back, and wouldn't even talk to me to find out what had happened.

Not only am I not allowed in the building at all I am not allowed to stand outside by the door. After waiting 30 minutes PAST the scheduled time (I'd actually been waiting longer as they request you get there early), I was told I cannot go inside with my dogs. When I asked how long it would take, I was told 30 min per dog just to get their vaccines and that it would depend how the dog acts. I had to watch them literally drag my anxiety-riddled dog away with some shoddy leash made from cheap rope. I would add zero stars if I could and I just made an appointment with another vet clinic for my other dog's vaccine.

We could not have had a better experience than we did at Kettering Animal Hospital working with Dr. Beck and her amazing tech! This was our 8 month old rescue puppy's first visit with this specific vet and we were just so pleased with the thoroughness and thoughtfulness that went into his care. They took necessary COVID-19 precautions but still operated efficiently and took the time to answer all of the questions we had as nervous first-time dog parents! So glad that we established care at this veterinarian!
