I can't speak highly enough about Helping Hands Veterinary. After taking my senior cat to our…read moreregular vet, I was told he would need extensive dental extractions that could cost anywhere from $3,000-$4,000. While researching options, I somehow found myself on Helping Hands' website, and I'm so glad I did. Their pricing was straightforward and transparent, with the flat fee including blood work and everything else needed for the procedure. When I arrived, the intake process took about 30 minutes, and the staff carefully walked me through exactly what they were going to do. They told me I could pick my cat up around 5 PM, which gave me the rest of the day to explore Richmond. While waiting, I grabbed breakfast at The Fancy Biscuit, walked around Virginia Commonwealth University, did the canal walk, learned about the history of the bridge the Confederates destroyed while retreating from Union forces, and even stopped by a brewery with an amazing outdoor area. Richmond ended up being a really great day trip. When I picked my cat up, they told me he did great. He did end up needing many teeth removed, but I could immediately tell he had been well cared for. We're now two days post-op and he's already eating again. They also sent us home with all the medication he needed. This place is absolutely amazing. Affordable, compassionate, organized, and clearly staffed by people who genuinely care about animals.

This place has become incredibly disappointing. I originally found them because they were…read morerecommended as an affordable option. At one point, the basic dental service was around $260. When I called about a month ago, the price had already increased, and now it's over $500 just for the basics. While reading recent reviews, I noticed another customer shared that their dog still had rotten teeth after receiving treatment here and ended up having to go to a different veterinarian for another dental procedure, spending over $2,000 total. That's extremely concerning, especially for those of us with senior dogs. The last thing I want is to put my dogs under anesthesia more than once because a procedure wasn't done properly the first time. My experience with the front desk staff was also frustrating. I simply asked what records and requirements they needed from my veterinarian, such as wellness exams, bloodwork, or other testing. Instead of clearly answering my questions, I felt dismissed and spoken to rudely. The conversation quickly turned into being told that if I used another veterinarian, they would need to perform their own exam anyway. It felt more like they were pushing me toward either their $500 package or their $1,700 package with X-rays rather than helping me understand the requirements. I spent a long time saving up to get dental work done for my two senior dogs, and this experience has made the process much more complicated than it needed to be. At this point, I'm considering staying in New York and finding a local veterinarian instead. It's unfortunate to see a business build its reputation on being affordable and accessible, only to move away from the very reasons so many people chose them in the first place. Even more concerning are reports suggesting that some pets may require additional procedures elsewhere, forcing owners to spend more money and put their beloved pets through anesthesia again. That's something no pet owner wants to experience.

It smells better and the front desk folks seem like they are a lot more personable. They were able to get to my dog quickly, which I appreciated. They took my concerns seriously and called me with an update just about 30 minutes later. I wasn't expecting to hear from them so soon, but was glad I did. The doctor is really caring and I feel good knowing that she is taking my dog's condition seriously and springing into action. Hopefully there is a good outcome with our situation, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this vet regardless.

This store carried puppy mill bred puppies, and has the audacity to have signs up claiming they are not from puppy mills. These dogs are the result of parents kept in inhumane conditions who are bred over and over throughout their lives until they cannot have puppies anymore, at which point they are dumped on shelters and rescues. This is such a disgusting practice, when so many animals are being euthanized because there are not enough homes to care for them. In addition to the puppy mill puppies, I saw 6+ fancy rats crowded into a tiny 10 gallon fish tank. One of the rats was pregnant and couldn't move around much, so the other rats continually stepped on her as they tried to move in this cramped environment. She was covered in sores. I let an employee know but they did not seem to care. Stores like this go against everything that animal lovers care about.
