My experience was okay…read more I made a most difficult decision to let my beloved cat go after a long weekend spent almost entirely in ER trying to figure out why he would no longer eat and why his eye was swelling shut. And an even longer two or three weeks before that fighting to get him to eat. Like others here, Kevin was closer to me than my human family. I was busy with the doctors in ER so my partner called in to make the appointment to ease my stress. He said I was primary contact, but it was difficult to make that clear all the way until the day so communications were continually going to him. Not a big deal in the overall picture, but it didn't make the experience any easier. This was my cat for 8 years before I met my partner and while he loved my baby, I was the one with the lifelong bond. The doctor showed up within the time window allotted. We both found her a little cold. I felt like we were just a job and everything was done by number. My BF picked up my cat and carried him to me, but the doctor said we should do paperwork first which resulted in me putting him down after building up to do what I deemed impossible. I was emotional and crying. This really should somehow be handled before the visit. There were corrections to be made on the form. I was about to lose my baby and this only made me aware that I was filling out his death warrant. I am utterly heartbroken. I know holding your baby until the last minute is catharsis and closure, but I found it traumatizing. His passing was peaceful at least. Everyone's goodbye will be unique, and my example will not necessarily match what others experience. Everyone we spoke to was professional. I just wasn't feeling the compassion.

Barclay Hill used to be a great place to take our cats, but then they got bought out…read more We've now had two recent separate experiences here with two different cats that followed the same pattern: the cats tolerated handling and exams initially, but once taken into the back, they became stressed and the visit essentially stopped there. At our most recent appointment, we brought in a friendly stray cat hoping to get her vaccinated, tested for FeLV/pregnancy, and treated for fleas and ear mites. Once she became tense in the back room during handling, we were told she had "run out of kitty minutes" and that she would need sedation before returning. Aside from flea treatment, none of the additional care we came in for was completed. I understand not wanting to push a highly stressed animal past its limit. But for the extreme prices being charged, I expected more practical solutions, more professional handling strategies, or at minimum a clearer plan to accomplish basic diagnostics and care within the same visit. The overall experience felt inefficient, expensive, and limited in what could actually be accomplished compared to working with seasoned staff. We'll be seeking veterinary care elsewhere.

With all of our previous vets we had emergent issues that would have required us to either pay an emergency vet or wait weeks. All of the staff were friendly and helpful and judge free. They manage a lot of care on the app. The app is great for vaccine and flea med reminders as well as communicating with your care team for questions. I feel like with other vets they won't answer questions over the phone even simple ones without an appointment. Price point is high- but they have to run a business I'm sure the cost of running a clinic like this is steep as well. A little more price transparency would be good.

I'm not sure if my house…read morehas a sign, or a scent, but we have kitties who literally walk up our driveway and wait for us (or me, more specifically). We had one kit cat come for help during the ice storms. She was skinny, freezing and crying. My poor husband has finally realized that his wife is a crazy animal lady. We brought her in and isolated her in our downstairs bathroom so that we could treat her flea infestation. Big fans of flea bath, capstar and a month long flea treatment. We named her Mira and got her into this clinic. My regular one didn't have openings for a few weeks. They found her micro chip, however we also found that it was never registered. We searched all the lost pet forums, pages and all the apps to no avail. So we got her up to date with shots and back to good health. My friend ended up becoming her furever home. We've found two others since then, the last one just this month we couldn't come back (too long of a schedule out period) but I will say that we've always been pleased with our care here. They've handled our strays with care and compassion, and understanding that these kitties aren't as acclimated to much human attention. I highly recommend this vet.

And…read moreas she did, we took him to the VCA emergency hospital and then to Dr Henson, who is his regular vet. But we had the exact opposite experience. Long story short, VCA was horrible. We were there for 12 hours and they did nothing but take a blood test and sedate him. We called Dr Henson the next day. She had a full schedule and could have told us to make an appointment for another day, but instead told us that she'd see him that day between appointments. She gassed him to sleep, extracted the urine and sent us home with some morphine. He is much better today and is back to pissing like a racehorse. I will admit that she can be gruff, and to be frank this was off-putting at first. She could use a refresher course on bedside manner (sorry doc, but I calls 'em as I sees 'em) but we have never had a vet who cares more about her patients. That is obvious to the most casual observer. This woman is passionate about cats. If you want someone who gives a damn about your beloved pet, doesn't charge ridiculous fees and try to up-sell you every chance they get,(Cat Care Professionals, those last two points are yours) check your tender little feelings at the door as we did and put your pet's needs first. You won't find anyone better in these here parts. Period.
