This was my first experience with this Vet's office. The nurse was amazing with my cat, she was kind and sweet towards her, put us both at ease. The Vet was incredibly nice and seems to really care about our pet's wellness. The staff made an unpleasant experience a lot easier and it's highly appreciated

Sadly, our Pomeranian recently passed away, he was 15. But, I wanted to thank the staff and vets at Kipling Animal Hospital for extending his life by years. The Veterinarians that work here are undoubtedly Superwomen! I don't know how or why they are so good at their jobs, I'm just happy to have found them! Thank you.

This place is amazing! They know my dog Luna personally, and were able to get her in when she had a really bad cough even though they were busy. They have provided the best information and care for my dog!

Fully trust the staff's capability and care for our dogs. However, they are still mandating masks for fully-vaxed people 2 months after the statewide mandate was lifted.so do we trust the science or don't we?

Kipling Veterinary Hospital has always been reliable and trusted with my dogs needs in the past. On June 12th, the Veterinarian recommended a complete blood test along with the normal checkup. I of course a agreed. Today, July 3rd my dog was scheduled to get his annual shots and the Veterinarian insisted that I would have to pay for the wellness check again. Absolutely price gauging a loyal customer. I just scheduled my dogs shots with Vetco for $85, compared to the $180 Kipling Vet Hospital is trying to charge. Do yourself a favor and take your business elsewhere.

Very pleasant. Employees were happy to help me with my 13 yr old cat. They were ok with me not having a crate, considering my old kitty Luck, has never used one. Getting old has made my Luck Luck lose about 8lbs. He's normally the first one to the feed bowls in the last one to leave my poor old man's not getting around as much as he used to and I took him in for a wellness check the veterinary was wonderful and very nice very soothing I do appreciate all their help but I believe that he may just have to go quietly at home.
