We urgently took our elderly kitty in after having a poor experience with a veterinary office we had been using for some time. The positive reviews brought us here and I’m so glad we moved. We were treated with such care and support. They were very transparent and showed genuine care and concern to help our sweet girl feel better. Ultimately, she was in pain and we had to make a tough decision. They guided us through the process. Despite only visiting the one time, they frequently checked on us and a week after our sweet girl passed, they sent a handwritten thoughtful card from the whole team. This touched our entire family deeply. We already planned on having our pup move here as well but this just reinforced our decision. Thank you to Caroline, Susan, Sam, Veronica, Caitlyn and Robin. Your thoughtfulness meant so much.

Have been taking my dog to Kindness for the past five years and they've always been great. They have very caring vets and techs who take good care of my dog. I always recommend Kindness when someone asks for a good vet.

I went here to get my kittens checked up for an initial exam. The front desk staff was nice and kind. The doctor, whose name I don't remember because she rushed through the appointment, barely checked the cats and was dismissive of my questions and concerns. Only weight and heartbeat was checked, and also they clipped both cats nails, reluctantly. I feel like more could have been done for the cats and to ease the stress of new cat parents. It felt rushed and cold. I thought that the paws would be checked out, the coat of fur could be assessed, maybe check their eyes and ears? I know Healthcare for humans is a mess...but cats too?
