Editorial review from Citysearch 5/1/2016

We have been clients of VCA Kent since 2004. Amazing staff and very reasonable prices. Estimates are offered after discussion of necessary treatments. We have never had an pressure from the staff for add on services. My pets have been seen on time and leave less stressed each time. We could not be any happier. Great veterinary care in an easy to find location. more

Unsanitary and Disease spreading 3/12/2012

Worst vet I have EVER had the misfortune of going to. They only care about the money and try to push all kinds of Health programs to get more $$ out of you.\r \r After the second visit to this place, my cat got an upper respiratory infection after seeing this vet. The room was unsanitary and the table surface was dirty with fur on the floor still. They say that they clean between each visit but that's just not true. They refused to take responsibility and made all kinds of excuses trying to tell me he got it before I got him at 4 weeks old, or got it from another cat when he is 100% indoor cat for the last 10 yrs. They refused to accept that the only place he was exposed to the virus was from an unsanitary vet office that sees several pets a day and doctors that handle multiple animals a day without changing clothes after handling sick animals. I will never go back here and honestly if you love your pet take it some place else that will care about your pet as much as you do. more

Very Disappointed. 12/28/2010

I too chose the clinic for it's closeness to home.\r My little female cat has had a botched spay procedure. She goes into a heat cycle about 4 times per year. I can't risk or afford the exploratory surgery to find and remove remnants of ovarian tissue likely causing this problem.\r My former vet prescribed small doses of steroids to interrupt and stop her crazy heats. I was content with this approach and simply wanted the young lady vet to supply the pills my cat needed. The free first visit was used to pitch expensive unnecessary diagnostics and hopefully get my kitty on the operating table.\r \r Meanwhile my cat was being a horny Tasmanian devil and running amuck's, and in danger of getting into trouble with raccoons and diseased strays. She was also spraying in my sister's house.\r \r Dr. M gave an estimate of three alternatives to treat my cat, $400.00 roughly for diagnostic tests and $900.00 for surgery.\r When I told her that I just wanted to continue with the drugs that worked for almo more

UGH!! Worst animal care from VCA in Kent!!!!!! 6/5/2010

I have gone to this pet serivce for years and it took me awhile to understand how horrible this vet clinic really was. it took forever to get an appointment and I lost two pest because of their carelessness. We took my dog there when she was sick and they would not do anythig but take her temperature and a urine sample. Then the said that they would hurry to get the results but they took over two weeks because they had forgotten to send it in to the lab. My dog died shortly after. My cat had the same thing happen to her. She died four days before christmas. I had had her since i was a baby and she was the most amazing part of my world. She died and i still to this day blame them. We called to make an appontment and said it was urgent and they didnt give her one until the next week. By then she was refusing to eat and getting much worse. I showed up with her, crying like crazy, and they promptly took her away from me and said to come back at the end of the day the next day and i could pick her back up. The only thing they did for her was drain a little fluid from her lungs but did nothing to give her nutrients or medicine. They charged an obscene price for the medicine for her and nothing else. NOt even to help comfort me. It was a horrible expirence. WHen we came back to put her down in the same week, they were so cold and mean that i never wanted to go back again. HOwever, my mom told me to give them a second chance so when i got a kitten for my birthday from my boyfriend, i called to make an appointment for a check up and then asked about the coupon that the pound had given me for her first check up. They said that because i had brought previous pets there before they would not honor it!!!!!!! This was the last straw. If you love your pets and want them to live, never bring them here!!!! NEVER!!!!!! it will be the worst mistake in your life. Luckily, i still have my kitten, no thenks to them. Pros: nothing Cons: rude, uncaring, little work, overly expensive, no help more

We, too, used Moffat Minnic before it became VCA Kent Animal Hospital and I have noticed has become a sort of a revolving door for doctors and staff. However, we recently had a very good experience with VCA. Our family dog was attacked by a unleashed dog while we were taking her for a walk on MLK Day. I called VCA Kent Animal Hospital, hoping that they would be open on a holiday, and they immediately got us in. Our dog HATES going to the vet, but they were very gentle with her. They had to sedate her, stitch her up and put a drain in her because the puncture wound was so deep. The veterinarian that we worked with was a lovely, competent, caring young woman. She gave me a detailed written report what she had done and why. She also gave explicit instructions on how to care for our dog post-treatment. She even called the next day to see how our dog was doing. I would certainly recommend this particular vet, but most of the other vets I have worked with at VCA Kent have been go more

VCA Kent Animal Hospital is HORRIBLE 9/22/2009

We are switching vets TODAY! Not only is this a horrible place but they made me feelt guilty when I couldn't pay to have a list of 20 items done to my cat. Including a cat scan,five different random things she didn't need right that moment (fecal/urinalysis) she was in for stitches! When I told them I couldn't pay they lowered the price. I asked WHY I couldn't pay the lower price in the first place and she said (a vet I'd NEVER met before) that they have to make money! Excuse me? Changing the price from 900 dollars to 300 dollars is MORE than just to make a profit! Thats price gouging! Also the revolving door of assistants and doctors is dizzing! The vet actually told me that if she had KNOWN the cat had a history with this certain thing she would have KNOWN what was wrong and told us but she didn't KNOW...she could have READ the file couldn't she? Plus in the first place i was kept waiting in the waiting room for 45 minutes before I was brought to a room and while waiting I heard the more

I wish it was still Moffat-Minnick 10/26/2008

I've been taking my animals to this facility for over 15 years, back when it really was Moffat-Minnick (their still listed as that on my phone). While the staff has always been very professional and knowledgeable, over the last 5 years or so it seems to be a revolving door Doctors and staff. It used to be that they knew me and they knew my animals. Now, unless I have an issue other than their yearly exams the Doctor you saw last year has moved on and "oh, what?s your name again". If you don't mind what I call the 'Group Health' approach to your animals care, Kent VCA Clinic is a great place. Personally, I like a Vet that knows my animals from their first shots to their final day. more

Vet for your Pet! 6/11/2008

This veterinary office used to be Moffitt Minnick Vet Hospital. It is now staffed by a crew of young, female vets. They are very caring and knowledgeable. They hurt when my pet hurts. Hours are 7 am to 7 pm seven days a week, which is a real plus. more

Unless you like up-sell, not a good place to take your pets 3/9/2008

When we first started taking our dogs and our cat there, Dr. Redman saw them - she's great. Then she started working only with small animals, and our dissatisfaction began. We began to get pressure from the staff to have our pets undergo unnecessary testing, take preventative medication, and all manner of other "up-sell" that I frankly find dispicable. I say that the "up-sell" was recommended was unnecessary in clear conscience as we have a friend who is a veterinarian who sadly lives out of the area or we'd have him seeing the dogs, and after having had him look the animals over and review what we'd been pressured to do, he assured us that their recommendations were in no way necessary. This continued for more than a year, much to our frustration, including them mailing us magazines and fliers advocating all manner of testing and procedures just as a matter of course. One of our dogs hates it there - he's shy, and they are not understanding about his personality and don't seem to undersand that they might need to earn his trust if he doesn't know them. For some reason, They seem to think that because they are vets, he should be fine with whatever they want to do to him. He is not convinced. They won't spend 2-3 minutes with him to build trust, the result of which is he hasn't had his temperature taken in probably 2 years. The last straw for me was after having to euthanize our cat (she had cancer), without asking whether we wanted it done or whether we wanted it sent to us, they mailed us a pawprint of her paw with her toes all spread out and her name stamped into the clay circle. Opening the envelope to find something so unexpected was horrible; I knew she had cancer and that we were going to lose her in the end but it did not make losing my cat of 12+ years any easier , & broke my heart. Finding out that they'd taken the print after she'd died made me all the more sad, and I cannot bear to look at it. Hope to find a decent vet soon. Pros: Close to a great hamburger stand Cons: horrible customer service, staff attempts to get you to purchase unneccesary services for sake of their profit-margin more

Great Veterinary Hospital! 2/19/2007

We brought our cat Snowball in for an emergency exam when Covington Veterinary Hospital, our usual vet, couldn't get him in. As soon as I told the receptionist what his symptoms were, she checked with the doctor and told me to bring him right in, even though they had never seen him before! It was a good thing, too. Snowball had crystals in his urine that had blocked his urinary tract. If I had waited until the next day he would have died! As it was, he was one sick little kitty! The minute I walked in the door the technician came out to evaluate Snowball, then brought him in back right away when she saw that he was in bad shape. I talked to Dr. Redman and Dr. Olson that day, and they were both amazing. So caring and compassionate. I can't say enough about not only the quality of the care Snowball got, but how compassionate and professional all the staff were. They're a little more expensive than some of the cut-rate hospitals in Kent, but more than worth it, in my opinion. I've since had all my pets transferred over, and I'm very happy with the care they've received. Dr. Redman even found a cracked tooth on my dog that had been causing him pain for quite awhile that my regular vet had missed. Turns out his poor appetite was because it hurt to chew! I'm recommending these guys (they're called VCA Kent Animal Hospital now, I guess) to all my pet owning friends! Pros: Best veterinarian I've ever been to! Cons: A little more expensive, but totally worth it! more

Moffat - Minnick 4/19/2005

A great place to take your pet. The staff was so nice, they made it very enjoyable to be there. They were very gentle with my cat, and were very helpful in awnsering all of my questions. The rates are very reasonable. The office was not hard to find at all. They even knew who we were when we walked through the doors. more
