Everyone here treats our pets with kindness. They are so helpful and easy to work with. Both of my dogs are rescues and they go slow to make sure they don't startle my pups. Thank you guys so much ( read more

Dr goode was exceptional and my pets loved him. I recommend him and this facility to all

After being patients of your veterinary practice for 50 years with different vets and a variety of animals we WILL NO LONGER BE COMING TO YOUR PRACTICE FOR TREATMENT OF OUR PETS. You injured our 10-year-old cat the last time we brought her to you. She was sedated and should not have had to be held to the point where someone leaned on her hip or leg to the point where she is STILL limping after months. You didn't seem to have any care about this and didn't suggest we bring her in without payment for treatment or an ultrasound or something to investigate the injury that your practice caused. She is so very special to us and we love her and it troubles us to have her injured. Also, your fees have completely gotten out of control. Between $1,500 and $1,800 to have her teeth cleaned seems excessive to us, probably why you argued on the phone with John about having this done when we clearly expressed our desire to wait to have this done. I surmise that your fees may have affected your practice and why you are pushing for procedures to be done. We have lost faith in your professional treatment of our very much-loved kitty. read more

I heart NKVH. When I adopted Kora the Gremlin 5 years ago, the shelter gave me a voucher for a check up at one of about 20 local vets. North Kenny was the closest to my house at the time and the dog wasn't a big fan of car trips, so away we went. Well, 5 years later, we love them and they love us. The staff there are really friendly and they obviously love animals. They accommodate cranky pets well. Have you ever heard the sounds a pitbull makes when it doesn't want it's nails trimmed? Well, they just roll with the possessed demon shrieking and get on with their day. They even let us come back. The nail trimming tech once told us "I wish she liked me more". Pet Smart just said maybe we should go somewhere else. Anyway, the team here is calm and kind. If they don't know the answer, one of the vets will look it up and get back to you. And mean it. They remember your pets and their, ahem, quirks, and love them anyway, and can give good quote and reasonable explications for the charges. I also appreciate the mail order pharmacy. We get our flea/tick/heartworm combo sent to the house which is super convenient. Just for fun, the photo is of Kora after she had her teeth cleaned and was counting green fairies. read more

They honestly care about your canine/feline children. And they care about your pocketbook, also. I can't say enough positive about the vets and assistants! Everything has been wonderful each time I have been there. read more

Dr. Bauer has been our vet since my min pin, Dexter, has been diagnosed. She's kept my baby cakes alive since he acquired diabetes. The veterinarian staff is on point but I hate to say you have to deal with their cranky admin staff. I'm over their attitudes. To call and ask for an insulin prescription is a struggle every time. read more

North Kenny Vet is absolutely amazing. As a reactive dog owner, it's hard to find places that are accommodating. North Kenny always goes above and beyond when we visit! They've been so understanding and patient with me and my dog. My dog--Boba Fett--loves the vet and looks forward to seeing them! read more

We were unhappy with the impersonal service at our regular vet, so we tried this place. So glad we did. Our senior cat was declining rapidly. We knew the end was not far off (extreme weight loss, kidney failure, blindness). When the inevitable happened, we were prepared, thanks to Dr. Sullivan. He and the staff were so kind when we said goodbye to our sweet Mario. This place was the only positive thing at a time of heart wrenching loss. read more

expensive ! they are good ! but try to upsell too hard ... will go back but make sure you know your budget and cost before going in

We brought our two recently adopted cats here for a check up/establish care. For first time appointments they require you to pay for the visit up front which does not include any additional services that may occur during the visit. It is purely just the exam fee (~$55/cat). They have an online portal and an app where you can upload any health records you may have. I like that they have separate entrances for dogs and cats. Also they are fear free so they'll never strap an animal down to order to complete a test/exam. If the animal isn't feeling comfortable they'll give them medication/calming treat and have you come back in once they are calmer. The tech and the veterinarian were helpful in answering all of our questions and made recommendations on how to get two cats that are not littermates to cohabitate well. The only aspect I wish was improved would be being forthcoming with cost. One of our cats had extra gunk in their ears and the vet said he wanted to take a look at it under the microscope to see what, if anything is growing there. That was an extra $30 that wasn't disclosed to us until we checked out. There was some yeast so he brought in some ear drops which we also didn't know the price of until we were checking out. We asked about nail trimming and they said it could be done today. It took about 5 max for both of them and I didn't realize (maybe my naïveté) but that was an additional $18/cat. I like the staff and service. Also appreciate the use of online portals/apps. I just wish they were maybe more forthcoming regarding the price. read more

I took a training dog here for diarrhea and loss of appetite. The team seemed friendly at first but quickly became judgemental. My dog lost a few pounds from constant diarrhea and no appetite for a few days and they were acting like I starved him on purpose. Once they would leave the room I was in, I could hear them talking about about me. It was extremely unprofessional and I honestly wouldn't recommend taking your pets here unless you want to be judged for trying to help your pet get better. read more

This has been the first vet I trust. They don't over-schedule. They are organized and knowledgeable. Staff is patient and kind. They text or email frequent updates (huge peice of mind for my dog that has Hx of severe reactions to anesthesia). Prices are fair. They are up front about pricing, as well. I really feel heard about my pet health concerns. I was referred here because I made a Facebook post looking for a new vet (frustrated with my past ones) and about 5 different people recommended North Kenny. People that don't even live very close to it. Although they are busy, they always reply timely to inquiries. Highly recommend! Dr. Bauer is great. read more

GOOD STORY: It could have been awful, but prior to meeting my husband, his six-month old Golden Retriever was hit by a car in front of our house and practically on his deathbed. While Swenson's is not an urgent care facility, they were able to stabilize the dog and direct my husband to MedVet, a local pet E.R. Most impressive, Dr. Swenson even rode in back of the Jeep with the dog (making him late for a birthday dinner! The doctor, not the dog...) all the way across town to the trauma center. Six years later, the dog has grown into an 80 pound, spoiled rotten loverboy. Thanks in huge part to Dr. Swenson. I could probably end the review right there, but figured there's more to our patronage. Swenson Veterinary Hospital is one of the oldest established veterinary practices in Columbus. It's a small operation with only three vets, but we receive nothing less than fantastic service from the doctors and friendly staff... They ALL know our pets names. Dr. Swenson, Dr. Goode and Dr. Schrier have treated our two dogs and two cats with the love and gentility we give them ourselves. We've brought our pets here for the whole gamut of routine checkups, emergencies, illnesses and also board our dogs with Swenson several times per year- with no worries at all about how they are being treated and cared for. The boarding fees are super reasonable, but there is limited space, so advanced booking is usually required. Swenson's is not officially open on Sundays, but a staff member is on hand for pet pick-up during a few hours in the late afternoon. I recommend this vet to anyone in the surrounding neighborhoods. read more

Great vet. They are adaptable to the pet's needs, and fears. They send reminders of vaccinations and checks ups, and follow up on any hospital visits. They do have boarding but is quite limited, especially for large dogs. Because the boarding has been such a challenge, and the office is a bit far. I decided to go to another vet, closer to home. If I lived closer and they offered more services (grooming, more boarding) I would l still go to Dr. Swenson. read more

I have been taking my dog to North Kenny for over 5 years and have always been very pleased with the service. This past week, my dog had a dental cleaning. The estimate provided to me by North Kenny was $450 to $550 for the services. When the vet called me to provide me an update after the procedure, she told me I owed $900. No one called me to inform me of the extreme difference from the estimate and when I inquired about it, I was told "well, we had to pull more teeth." Interesting, when looking at the detailed receipt, the addtl teeth pulled does not add up to doubling the estimated amount of the procedure. I find the lack of communication and transparency very disturbing and honestly, untrustworthy. I will be finding a new vet. I feel like the last couple of visits was an upsell to get me to purchase more services for my pet. Care about my pet...not just about making money. read more

I take my 3 dogs here. One is going on 13 so for the past 13 years. They are great; caring, competent, responsive, and reasonably priced. Wouldn't go anywhere else to take care of my 3 doggy's. read more

We have used this group for over 30 years and from Drs Swensen to Goode, to Ott and Bauer our satisfaction remains High! The service is strained during Covid, but the compassion and consideration of our pets has always come first. "They wear well". We're happy they're here! Charlie and Kathe M. read more

Terrible service. Absolutely the least knowledgeable about any standard of pet care. Terribly confusing on billing, and over-charging on so many unnecessary services. WOULD NOT send pets back here. Conflicting suggestions and negligent care. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PETS TO COME HERE. read more

I have used pretty much all of their services for my dog and we just love this place. My dog has anxiety problem towards other dogs and they go out of their way to make our visits as smooth as possible--especially Amy! He has been boarded there several times and Claudia is just amazing! He has been groomed there and vaccinated and just about anything else a dog may need. I know that he is well taken care of and loved as if he were one of their own pets. I just can't say enough good things about them. read more

Dr. Goode is the best, and the staff are almost always very friendly and welcoming. We appreciate their prioritization of health and safety during the pandemic, and I was so glad to get a call directly from Dr. Goode during my dog's appointment since I could not be in the building with her. While it's a bummer to not be able to come in, I am grateful for the precautions and trust that my pets are getting the best care when the go inside. read more

Hands down this place impressed me from the first step all the way to when I was taking my dog home. I would highly recommend this place for your Boarding needs. I was so happy with how they treated my dog, I am seriously considering taking her there for her veterinary needs as well. Claudia is a class act and you can tell that she takes very good care of all the animals. DO take your business here! read more

The dog I had growing up was terrified of the vet. My dad or I always ended up carrying her in and holding her as she shook. This is certainly not the case with my dog & Swenson's. I used to travel a lot and used their boarding services. While it isn't cheap ($15.50/day for a small dog), there's no way I'll switch. My dog loves it. As soon as we pull into the parking lot, she starts whining and pawing at the car door. She runs right inside and jumps around while waiting for Claudia to take her for the weekend. It always makes me a little sad on the inside to see how happy my dog is to leave me. Luckily when I pick her up on Monday mornings she's just as happy to see me as she was to leave. Claudia always gives her a bath and sprays her with doggie cologne too. I'm guessing my dog is just waiting for my next trip. read more

I have taken my five year old dog there and now my new puppy and they have been wonderful. They are efficient and the office is clean and professional. The vet took lots of time to answer our questions and to offer advice. I didn't feel like we were rushed. The staff is very friendly and they always are able to accommodate my schedule. I recommend this vet to anyone! read more

I have taken my 2 little chihuahuas to this vet office several times. Every time I go there Claudia, takes such good care of my little guys. She is so careful with them since they are old and sensitive. One of my dogs is especially nervous but now when he sees her he calms down. She always gives them each a biscuit with their nail trims and treats them like they are her own children. You can tell she really loves animals and her job. I never worry when I have to board them there because they come home happy and balanced. I've boarded my pets at other places and you can tell when they haven't been given enough attention. Both the Dr's and the staff are very knowledgeable and always answer all my questions. Thank you Dr. Ott and Dr. Goode and especially thank you to Claudia for the sincere care you give my dogs. Highly recommend!!! read more

I have been taking Sadie, my miniature dachshund, to this clinic ever since she came to live with me as a puppy, 8 years ago. I'm extremely pleased with the care they offer, even going beyond what I would consider normal care when the situation requires it. I've seen all three vets, and I recommend any of them; office staff has always been responsive and helpful. Vivian Harvey read more

I have been taking my animals to this vet location since the 1980s when Dr. Swenson had the practice. All the vets are excellent and compassionate. (we love Dr. Goode!) I have boarded many of my animals there (dogs and cats) over the years. I have trusted the boarding staff with some of my oldest pets and they have gotten top notch care. I am surprised at the one star review just because someone perceived a "look" at their pet - get real. As my pets have reached the ends of their lives, the doctors and staff here have been so wonderful in dealing with our pet's last days and helping make their passing easier and comfortable.I would definitely attribute the longevity of my pets to the great care that has been provided by this vet hospital. This is definitely the best vet hospital in the city. read more

Do not beig your pet here!!!! The vets are wonderful but the staff is absolutely aweful! They try to diagnose problems by themselves when you call and they always "forget" to pass information on to the vets. We even had an emergency one time and the person answering the phone told us the doctors would get back with us next week!!! On another occasion they tried telling me certain meds/dosages where cheaper but I caught them in a lie when I called the pharmacy myself and asked. I could go on and on but please do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place is really really bad. read more

our fmily has been going to this vet practice since Dr Headley owned it in the earky 60's. From Dr Headely, Dr Swenson and Dr Goode we have received nothing less than kind, professional, compassionate, competent service for many pets, dogs and cats over many years. They are always available for questions to follow up and its the Dr who calls you back if you have called with a concern about treatment or medications, etc. I have been a huge fan of Dr Goode in this regard. He listens to any and all observations and concerns I have when my pats have been ill and knows I know my cats and treats me like I am an intelligent person. I have never felt pressured into any expensive treatments or tests; he has always explained what is needed and what would be optional/ideal, knowing that money is a great concern. I always feel guided to the best solution. When the time has come to let a beloved cat go they are more than kind and gentle and understanding to both the pet and me. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

I have gone here for over 20 years. I live clear across town now but I would never go else where. They treat me my cat and 2 pups like family. Dr Goode is my hero and i trust him with my babies. The staff at the front desk are great especially Penny who has been there also along time and is always helpful. I thank you all very much. read more

I 've been taking my pets to North Kenny for more than 20 years and have never been disappointed. All the Drs and the staff are friendly, professional and compassionate and the care they have given my pets has been exemplary! My current 2 dogs like going to the vet for medical care and for boarding - I think they like it better there than at home. I wouldn't take them anywhere else. As for the prices, they are fair and reasonable. For those who complain, I suggest they try Vet-Meds if they really want to see what expensive care for their pets can mean. We'll miss Dr. Swensen, but have complete trust in Drs. Goode and Ott. read more

The entire staff was amazing! I have boarded my dog here and he was well taken care of. It was a perfect place for him since he doesn't always get along with other dogs. I have had him groomed here as well and they did an amazing job. He has also seen the vet here and they were extremely thorough. They genuinely care about the pets that are brought in and go out of their way to provide any service they can--and if they can't help they offer great referrals. Will definitely keep bringing my dog here :-) read more

Dr. Goode is not a good listener. My elderly mother usually sees Dr. Bauer and likes her. Dr. Bauer is on maternity leave so we took my mother's elderly cat in to see Dr. Goode. He kept offering testing and more testing with no recommendations other than testing. My mother could not get a word in and when I finally asked him to listen to her, he read through the chart while she was talking. Dr. Goode is cold, rude, and uncaring. We got the records and will be going to a veterinarian who can talk to people and who actually cares about the animal. read more

I live in Westerville/Polaris area and take my dogs and cat to this wonderful practice as it is reasonably priced and comes highly recommended. My family has been taking our dogs to this practice since the 1970's with Drs Headlee and Swenson. I have numerous vet clinics within a 2 minute drive to my home but I chose to drive to Kenny Road due to the high quality of care and reasonable pricing. Recently I had to board my dogs, including a 20-year-old black mutt, Randy, who was cherished by caretaker Claudia. I normally hire a pet sitter, especially for Randy, but now I know I can leave him in Claudia's wonderful care. Claudia insisted I take her photo with Randy. As of March, 2015, Randy is the oldest dog in the practice. read more

I would not want to take my pets' anywhere else because of the wonderful care they have all received over the last 18 years. My dogs and cats that I have now and had over the years, did very well with the expertise the Swenson and now the North Kenny office have provided when ever an issue came up. The office staff have always been super as well as the Docs!!!!!! read more

Best Vet we've found in Clintonville. Great service and awesome staff.

I've been bringing my pets for boarding here for years and can't recommend it enough. Claudia takes care of the animals as if they were her own!! My dogs' tails start wagging the minute they see her! She's great at making them feel loved while they are away from home. You are leaving your animals in the best of care when you leave them with Claudia--I wouldn't consider taking mine anywhere else. Once you start here, you won't want to leave them anywhere else except with Claudia. :) read more

Disappointment. Don't go. I found the Vets at North Kenny to be exceptionally unprofessional. They just totally lacked people skills. I paid my bill upon my departure and was informed later that I'd only paid part of my bill, as they'd somehow messed up my billing. Inept. Services performed that were not requested. Had to listen to badmouthing of other vets as I waited. Exceptionally bad experience. Avoid North Kenny Vet Hospital. You can get insulted for less elsewhere! read more
