This would a charge on top of any exam or grooming fee. With a 3 week lead time, I would hate to have a pet that needed urgent care. They probably won't try to work you in, even though you're an established patient. Yes, there may be 24/7 vet facilities but when you have an established relationship with a vet who knows your pets, that's where you want to go first.

On June 10th, I noticed my boyfriend's cat Shino didn't wake me up at the crack of dawn for…read morebreakfast, so something was obviously amiss. Didn't know what to think, his body language was uncomfortable because his tail was down and he seemed a little lethargic, on top of no appetite. I chalked it up to him maybe just not feeling well enough to eat at the moment. When we got home, however, he still showed disinterest in us and his food. Then he tried to use the litter box and strained. Emergency Vet time. We went to VEG for some tests and an x ray and things looked okay which was great news! No blockage to be seen. But another day goes by and he still keeps straining. And I also noticed his tail isn't really down due to discomfort, it's down because it seems to be paralyzed. I called VEG and they directed me to wait to take him to a family vet the next morning, which was a Friday. I called into work and did as directed, taking him to a family vet. Told them about his straining, and his tail. They did another x-ray, and gave me no answers. Honestly, they cost us $450 to leave with more questions than answers. He does poop that night though, so we're a bit at ease throughout Saturday and Sunday. On Monday morning, he once again doesn't wake me up after waking me up the last couple mornings for breakfast. I get to check on him and try to offer him some food. He doesn't take it, but paces between the litter boxes, straining over 10 times in the span of 20 minutes. I didn't get the answers I need from the vet we visited on Friday, so I google vets in my area and click on the very first one I'm shown. I called up GoodVets and ended up breaking down trying to explain to the receptionist what Shino's conditions and symptoms have been. They were very compassionate towards me and set me up with a 4pm drop off. I get there, still in tears. The receptionist checks Shino in and gets us in a room and brings me a water, then sends in a tech. I can't remember the names of the tech or the receptionist but they were both extremely compassionate to me and empathetic about Shino. I give the tech the rundown and leave Shino with her. Dr. Boone calls before 4pm and gives me all the info he found. Shino seems to have a tail pull injury which has affected how efficiently he can have bowel movements by himself. Dr. Boone prescribed a liquid laxative and pain meds for Shino, and answered all mine and my partner's questions and concerns. Shino has had at least one bowel movements as of Tuesday night (yay!!) and seems a lot more comfortable since coming home from GoodVets. I've never been so happy to have a cat pawing my face and meowing endlessly until I get out of bed to feed him. I fully intend to transfer the records of my other cats to GoodVets and have them as our fuzzy families primary veterinary. The gist of my review: the receptionist and tech I was able to speak with were both incredibly compassionate and empathetic, and Dr. Boone was knowledgeable and really eased my nerves about Shino's well being. I left with my questions answered.

My dog, Violet, was brought in in critical condition with what was ultimately diagnosed as an Addisonian crisis. She required several days in the ICU with around-the-clock monitoring, blood pressure support, constant bloodwork, and incredible nursing care. There were moments when we truly didn't know if she was going to make it. The entire team treated her as if she were their own. Every doctor, technician, assistant, and client service representative we interacted with was compassionate, patient, and genuinely invested in her recovery. They answered our questions, kept us updated, celebrated every small improvement with us, and never made us feel like we were just another case. The team all expressed their love for Violet, and how much they would miss her (while still thrilled she was getting to come home!) Emergency veterinary medicine is expensive, there's no getting around that. Our bill was over $5,000, and that's a significant amount of money. But after seeing the level of expertise, the advanced equipment, the 24-hour monitoring, and the dedication of the staff who quite literally saved Violet's life, I understand what that cost represents. I would make the same decision again without hesitation. Today, Violet is home, eating with enthusiasm, sleeping in her own (our) bed, and continuing her recovery because of the care she received at Mission Veterinary Emergency & Specialty. Thank you for giving us more time with our girl. We will never forget what you did for our family.

My 22 yr old daughter got a new puppy and it was having bloody diarrhea and vomiting so of course she was taking her to "our" family vet. Needless to say she left in tears after she was treated so rudely, belittled and left to feel dumb by Dixie and the front desk staff. They had no empathy at all in regards to the sick puppy. They were more concerned about making sure she knew it was going to cost $250 for a new client and she needed vaccine records. I'm not sure what is going on with this pet hospital but it definitely is lacking empathy for clients w sick animals. I am sure the Doctors there would not be happy with how the front desk staff is treating clients/potential clients.

Vet techs Valerie and Hagen need training on how to handle dogs. They wouldn't bring in a mat for our dog to stand on. We told them he is a senior and the floor is slippery. Our dog was fine when he walked in and could barely walk to the car after being twisted and restrained. We took him to an animal chiropractor, and now he is walking again, and moving better. We first went to this clinic after moving back to KC. We saw Dr. Gabriella, I don't know what happened to her, then another doctor had his name on our receipt for a toenail trim. I have seen 4 vet techs come and go during the 4 months we went there. The high staff turnover tells me this clinic is poorly managed. We ordered Heartguard through their website, Dr. Sparrow cancelled and redid our order without consulting with us. This is unethical. We had to go in to the clinic to find out what happened with the charges on our credit card, because we couldn't get a straight answer over the phone. Thumbs down to Dr Sparrow, when we described the incident with the new vet techs she tried to talk us into getting tests run on our dog!!! She wasn't even interested in the fact that our dog was injured at the clinic!
