Kipling Veterinary Hospital

This was my first time bringing my adult cat into a Vet, and it was by far the best vet experience I have ever had! I've raised 5 cats and 3 dogs, and for the most part every vet experience has been okay, but this time I was blown away at the kindness of the staff and their expert ability to handle my cat! She screamed and bit (as most cats do) but the vet as well as the vet tech we're amazing at handling her with compassion and care in a high stress moment!

I would highly recommend Kipling Veterinary Hospital & Welness Center for anyone looking to find a new vet, first time pet owners, and especially first time pet visits. The staff we're friendly and very patient with my questions concerning understanding the vaccination processes as well as the next steps in caring for my cat. They were extremely informative and made sure that I walked away with a complete understanding as to how the vaccination process worked as well as how future procedures would unfold.

By far the BEST veterinary experience I or any of my fabulous furry companions have ever experienced. I will be bringing in the rest of the crew to this establishment and I will be recommending Kipling Veterinary Hospital & Welness center to everyone that I know!

We recently moved to Lakewood and searched reviews for local vet clinics to take our dogs to. This place had excellent reviews, so we booked an appointment to get rabies and dystemper boosters, a heartworm test, new heartworm medication, and Jefferson County tags for our two dogs. We waited almost 20 minutes after arrival for the receptionist to get off the phone before being acknowledged, even though we were the first customers of the day. Then, after we met with the vet, she did a subpar examination of the dogs (which we did not request), and missed noticeable lumps on one our Staffordshire Terrier's side. She also did not check out my German Shepherd's mammory glands (which were swollen as we pointed out) but insisted that it was normal without even looking at the area. When it was all said and done, we were charged $515 for this routine visit!! Rather than giving us the 5 in 1 booster that we had asked for, the vet administered two different shots to each dog and charged $40 per shot. We were shocked to pay that much for vaccinations. Further, now my dog has an abcess developing from where the rabies vaccine was administered since this vaccination was different from what we requested. This place has a nice location, but expect to pay double what you would elsewhere!!
