Thank you so much Southkent Vet Staff!! I have much appreciation for this Veterinary Facility I have been with them for 20+ years they have always been AWESOME but they out did it today. I renewed vaccines Mar 31, 2026 & they did blood panels found out she had UTI week later & it was Spring break my car was down I live a ways from Caledonia getting there wasn't possible a tech on her way to another place brought to me. I am so Appreciative for this! No other Vet would care this much so THANK YOU VERY MUCH Caledonia Southkent Vet for your incredible Love of my furry Sincerely Amy Lyon read more

Friendly, professional, and compassionate pet care from a well-established veterinary clinic. The knowledgeable staff make animals feel comfortable, provide thorough assessments, and offer accurate service estimates. Highly recommended. read more

Best in the area! We started going when Dr. Jackson was still practicing and transitioned to Dr. Burns after he retired. The care is always top notch: caring, patience, great listeners and incredibly knowledgeable. read more

We've used SKV for about 20 years. We do not have a preferred vet; we normally take the earliest appointment available. We have never encountered an uncompassionate or rude staff member. We appreciate the details each vet has provided at appointments. There have been a couple situations with older dogs' health over the years and they even called a few days after the appointment to make sure we didn't have any other questions or concerns. They always handle each visit with so much attention and care. You can tell they all truly love animals! I would highly recommend their services! Thank you for all you do SKV staff! read more

I was charged for unapproved pet services rendered. I called to make the office aware and was told this was considered a "normal" business practice. My costs have not been reimbursed. Buyer beware. read more

Saved our 8 year old husky! Super kind staff, was very quick to get us a consult and surgery, very compassionate. Will definitely be recommending to everyone! Thank you!!! read more

We have taken our pets here for years. From regular exams to surgery's and had the best of care. They called after surgery's to up date us and when home called to check on them. Thank you! read more

We have taken our dogs to South Kent for years. Never a problem until today. Took our dog in for a teeth cleaning. Had quoted 300-350 dollars. They texted my husband a few hours later to say my dogs extractions went well and the cost will be 750-800 dollars. He did not receive a phone call like they said they did and would before removing any teeth. I feel very taken advantage of and misled. We will be taking our dogs elsewhere from now on. Terrible customer service. read more

South Kent lovingly cared for two of our dogs, from sickness through their final days. We've had a lot of vets in our lives, and South Kent Veterinary is the absolute top cate and compassionate animal care providers. I highly recommend! Thank you for lovingly taking care of our babies. read more

We've been taking our pets here for almost 20 years! They have always been wonderful to us from walk-in visits to take a tick out of our dogs to late night emergencies when one of our dogs had a seizure from eating sugar free gum in a snow storm!! They have always come through for us! read more

See all

I cannot recommend Southkent enough. If you want a vet who truly cares about your pets wellbeing, this is where you want to be. I have had several incidents where I needed my dog to be seen right away and they did not hesitate to fit me in. The entire staff is extremely nice and seems to truly love what they do. read more

We have been patients there for 40+ years. To say it's changed would be an understatement! we had an emergency with our dog and we're told to call back tomorrow morning and their emergency animals are seen on a first call first serve basis. The girl on the phone was very very rude. I miss Dr. Jackson and his staff. read more

Very poor service especially in an emergency. No attempt to get an injured dog in. Like pulling teeth to get records sent out. My family has been with them since Dr. Finkbeiner at Kraft and M37. Switched vets about 8 months ago and have never looked back. read more

I have used this Veterinary for almost 15 years. We have taken all our pets there and always receive the best care and the staff is always so helpful and kind. We have had surgeries, sick dogs and one even with cancer and had to put to sleep. All handle with so much love and care for us and our pets. I was looking up their phone number to call for an appointment and seen someone had written a bad review... which motivated me to write my feelings. Southkent is amazing! read more

Was my go to veterinary clinic for decades. Pets have been healthy so hadn't been there in 3 years... now they will no longer accept me as a customer. Very disappointed! read more

My Mom called here this morning because my dog was acting like she was dying! You couldn't even touch her body without her screaming. She was leaning to one side almost like a stroke and they could care less! They only care about money and nothing else!! The lady on the phone was beyond rude and even snickered at my Mom. They kept bringing up the fact that she has Luxating Patella in ONE KNEE, yet she screamed if you touched her chest or stomach. They just do not care about animals and the staff is very rude a lot of the time, especially one person in particular. They are horrible since Jackson left! My Mom had an incident with her dog a few months back. She has a lot of issues with diabetes and they basically did the same thing. My Mom finally convinced them to let her bring her dog in and they thought it was then so urgent, that they wanted to keep her!!! Yet they wanted to make her wait for an appointment before and her dog could have died. Other issues have happened but these two times were the worst. My Mom has been bringing her pets here for over 45 years and this is the only place I've ever brought my pets for over 20 years. I'll be finding a new vet that actually cares about animals. read more

I can't say enough good things about this veterinary clinic. We have been going to them for over 15 years since we had bulldogs. We find the doctors caring and informative and not perform unnecessary treatments. Their costs are very reasonable compared to other clinics in town but do quality work. Dr Jackson performed palate surgery on our bulldog pup because of breathing problems. The surgery resolved his breathing issues and he lived to 12 years - a long life for a bulldog. I especially appreciated how their staff showed their sympathy and compassion when we brought each of our bulldogs to them when they reached the end of their lives and how they administered the necessary treatment. They also have a kennel for their patients. I appreciated the fact that their patient dogs were given priority for kenneling and that I felt comforted that they were in a vets clinic while we were away. Our mix breed now sees Dr Casemier. We like Dr Casemier a lot. He does not administer unnecessary treatment nor medication. I highly recommend Southkent based on our very positive experience with them. read more

Horrible if you're in an emergency. Take your animals somewhere else Wouldn't even fax over my dogs medical records when I asked. read more

Excellent vet! I've been taking my pets here for over 10 years. First it was my fat cat Kasha who passed through their doors. Then it was her brothers, Samson, and Wilson, my dogs. I've even taken my mom's beegle, Josie, here for a check up. They have great hours, and like tonight when my little Samson was sick, they took him in at the last minute for a late appointment. Samson wasn't much pleased with the rectal exam they gave him, but I was happy that they checked him thoroughly to rule out all possible issues. I left with a bottle of meds and the staff was so nice to Samson, I swear it cheered him up just going in. My only hang up with the vet was when we used them once for boarding. My dogs have free rein of the house; basically they think my house is their house, and I just happen to live there. So being in a crate overnight may have stressed my dog out. When I picked him up, he was shedding, shaking, and exhausted. I say this, but if your fur baby is used to being crated, it may not be as much of an issue for you.I really liked the idea of boarding the dogs at a vet though, so in case there ever was an issue, there is someone on hand who can help right away. read more

Recently put my fur baby down. While the vet was wonderful and compassionate, when I came for my appointment (and you know I wanted to leave) my call stating I was there went to voicemail twice. Then, they made me weigh my poor baby before being put down. He had just been there two weeks ago so the weight was certainly close. The vet tech then discussed what I wanted to do with him after (I had this discussion over the phone when I made the appointment). All of this was very painful. But the WORST was when we came out of the room after his passing and the front desk person was grinning ear to ear. She obviously knew what had happened as we were less than 10 feet away and sobbing uncontrollably in the room. If you front desk person is NOT COMPASSIONATE, find a different position for them. We will NOT be back! read more

Everyone is always super friendly and accommodating. When our cat was sick they were able to get him in for an appointment the same day. Dr Ashley went above and beyond and we love her. read more

If you care about your pet do not choose this clinic. brought our beagle in on multiple different occasions because he was limping. They told us over and over that he just pulled a muscle. months later our dog is crawling around with no feeling in his back legs. We tried to get him in again and they told us we would have to wait 7 hours when they had a slot to fill. We instead took him into an animal hospital where before even taking x-rays and MRIs they suggested a herniated disc and that was exactly what the problem was. How you don't check to see if a dog is suffering from a disease that my dog's breed (beagle) is highly susceptible to and not even bother to have an MRI done especially when this is a repeated issue is beyond me. Had they done their job my dog would currently be at home resting with a very good chance to fully recover. Instead the disease caused irreversible spinal damage and left him unable to walk or pee without a catheter forcing us to make the decision of putting him down because his quality of life would've been very poor. And to top it all off no apology whatsoever.This clinic will not treat any of our pets again. read more

My husband took my dog there in an EMERGENCY as I was trick or treating with my kids and he couldn't get a hold of me. My dog had eaten a green block of mouse poison. They refused to see her even though he was there with her because he was not a current patient and they were full/busy. This was an EMERGENCY. Luckily I finally got his call and was able to call MY vet and they told me simply over the phone to give her peroxide to make her throw it ALL up and monitor her and that should take care of it. She's luckily ok. Had South Kent simply said that, I'd be praising them for saving my dog. However they couldn't even tell us the simplest of care for her because we weren't a current patient. This is one of the many reasons I will never go to South Kent as we had PREVIOUS animals that went there and now we prefer elsewhere. This was an EMERGENCY. They acted unprofessionally in a time of need. I hope they never have to go through this with their own family, whether it be animal or human, in a time of need. Horrible. read more

Go somewhere else. Inexperienced vets with no supervision that don't care about your pet. They don't know what they are doing. They almost killed my cat. This place is awful. read more

I cant believe what this veterinary clinic has come to since the departure of the previous owner, Bob Jackson. It has fallen fast and deep into total disregard for their clients and their pets. I have story after story of their failure to take their clients during emergencies, of refusing to take a sick animal of a client and directing them elsewhere, closing the entire clinic for e v e r y t h i n g for 3 long days while they have their parking lot repaved, the Byron unit not doing a C Section for a client because it fell on the wrong day (they don't do emergency C Sections, they only do them on Tues or Thurs as scheduled. If your animal doesn't cooperate, you're SOL) I had a cat they refused to see but I'm very tenacious and said I was going to come and sit in the office until someone could fit me it, which I did. My cat was dying in my lap. They finally got me a room, a vet came in, an Xray was taken and I was told to go home and see if she got worse. I refused to leave. I stayed in that room watching my cat struggle to breath until I finally caught someone and asked them if we could get some oxygen. I was told they dont have oxygen except for a little tube I'd have to hold up to her nose myself. I said I would so was taken back to the operation facilities where I held oxygen for her for hours. As she continued to decline Bob Jackson, the former owner, saw me there and took over her care. She died within the hour. So much for the Dr that was sending me home with my cat openly dying in my arms right in front of her! I had been a client of Dr Jackson at SKV for almost 50 years. What this previously wonderful clinic has spiraled into is sickening. read more

Best. Vet. Ever. I've been taking pets here for years! They are always willing to help. Dr. Green is our bet we go see, and would recommend her to anyone. Her passion reflects the way the animals act around her which is nice when our dog gets to the vet and see's her face. Everything instantly seems alright at that point. The Vet itself is extremely affordable. This is where I've always gone but have had to experience other vets while visiting family in the past. Southkent is better price AND better serviced. Thank you Dr. Green / South Kent!! read more

I'm not quite sure what has happened to this clinic. After so many of my pets being treated here, (at least 14), the past couple times were awful to get in and today I had an emergency that I was told would have to wait for a phone call back once a doctor could find a few minutes to squeeze my new sick puppy in. I never received a phone call. I called three different times to find out and was treated like a nuisance. "There's a message in your file, someone will contact you" was the reply given to me all day. I ended up finding another vet tonight who stayed late to see my puppy. And save him. I apologize to all I didn't believe that complained to me about South Kent this past year. I now understand and will be taking my 4 pets elsewhere. read more

I took my dog there for a dental cleaning. When I picked her up there was no discharge paperwork or debrief of her cleaning. Within 10 minutes of driving home my dog had a seizure (no history) and had another one 2 hours later. I called to ask for anesthesia dosage and type because boxers can't get certain anesthesia and it was like pulling teeth to get this information (several phone calls and emails). Turns out the anesthesia used was severely antiquated and another vet was shocked it was used, let alone on a boxer and not surprised she had seizures. SUPER SCARY! Also no x-rays were performed so gum issues were not looked at and here I am a month later paying for proper x rays and a cleaning because she had an abscess form. read more

Worst experience I have ever had at a vet. We were quoted a price considerably cheaper than our normal veterinary office so we cancelled our other appointment to schedule at Southkent. When picking up the cats, I was told I owed $200 more than quoted, and was told it was impossible we were quoted the other price... which had been verified when setting up the appointment. I would have never switch from our normal vet to pay $110 more. I was able to meet with one of the owners, who was very decent about the matter, but the staff at the front counter was not. My girlfriend had called to the vet last night to talk to someone about the matter. She was told she would receive a call back after 8:00 p.m... She never received a call. She called the office again today and spoke to Brenda the Office manager. Who was very rude, and when Brenda was told that we would not be returning, my girlfriend was told, that's a good thing because they didn't want our business. I will not be returning, and will make sure to not recommend Southkent to anyone, but i will be sure to let people know about the experience, and the extremely rude office staff. There was never a price sheet shown to us, no authorization paperwork was signed at drop off, or pickup. again, not everyone on the staff was bad to deal with, but there were a select few that more than made a bad name for everybody. The only name that i can remember specifically is Brenda. A customer should never be told that their business, and money, is wanted, especially when it comes to treating potentially sick animals. The point of the phone calls after picking the animals up was not to cause a problem, or get money back.. it was just originally to try to make sure things like this don't happen, and a simple "I'm sorry that this happened" would have been appreciated, which when i talked to the doctor he did offer me a kind gesture and assistance in the matter, but the office staff did not, and only made the situation worse. I was going to let the whole situation be history until the response today. Please know, I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with the customer service we received by your staff, and I am no longer going to just let this go. I sincerely hope no one else has to go through this, and you teach your staff to handle situations like this with more tact and to be more pleasant than they have been. read more
