★★★★★ Wonderful staff so glad we found themJeff A.Jeff A. ★★★★★ Very concerned about how your pet feels. Extremely caring and helpful.Ginneen H.Ginneen H. ★★★★★ The doctors & staff here are professional & take great care of her. They love my furbaby too.Betty Y.Betty Y. ★★★★★ Amazing people who truly care for your pet!Tiffany BTiffany B ★★★★★ I took my senior cat here and found out that he had oral cancer and was about to die. Despite the terrible occasion, they were super friendly, professional, and did all they could to make sure he had a few more days with me on earth. The visit before the bad news they even texted a picture of my cat because they thought he was being cute after his meds which made me smile, so I attached it with this review. When it was time to put him down, they made it as easy as it could be for someone losing their best friend. After my cat passed away, I received a hand written letter with a sentence or two from many of the employees there. Because of that act, I decided to bring my new kitten there after a month or two of grieving. They have been great with my new kitten, who had an upper respiratory infection, and didn't prescribe medication right away to give his body a chance to fight it off naturally. That didn't work so I had to go back, and got medication, but I feel that their actions were always the right ones. They make sure you understand what's happening, and make the lines of communication super simple by accepting paperwork or appointments via text messaging. My kitten isn't very scared of people, so the whole fear free certification was never something I sought out, but they have a little cubby cats can hide in, provide toys for them to play with, and have good treats to help reward animals with positive reinforcement. This is the only vet I've really been to, and when talking with friends in the area, I think it's the only vet I would ever need. They really do seem to care.Tim E.Tim E. ★★★★★ Have been going to KCAC. Very professional and kind to my babies!Ed M.Ed M. ★★★★★ I took our cat Gary whos almost 9 in for autoimmune dermatitus skin disease. Dr. Cutler and staff were amazing to Gary and still coming up with a stronger treatem treatement to get Gary out of his cone collar. I highly reccomend anybody searching for a most compassionate vet to bring your animal to take them here . You will not be dissapointed, i assure you 👍👍👍🥰sandy M.sandy M. ★★★★★ My husband and I recently visited Kiln Creek Animal Care to put down our elderly dog and the staff was incredibly caring and informative throughout the entirety of the process. About a week after the appointment we received a sympathy card in the mail with handwritten notes from all the employees. We recently moved further from our previous vet and have been looking for a new vet for regular visits, so we will definitely be returning with our other pets. It was a very sweet gesture, especially for not having been to this vet before. I found out after that a coworker also uses Kiln Creek for their vet and only had positive things to say as well. We look forward to continuing to use Kiln Creek in the future!Jessica O.Jessica O. ★★★★★ Staff is great. Took us right in when we arrived. No waiting. Took great care of Cody!Melissa M G.Melissa M G. ★★★★★ I love how they handle my pets with love and respect.Leonel M.Leonel M. ★★★★★ Outstanding service!Tony S.Tony S. ★★★★★ I had to take my rabbit there on a Saturday due to an ear infection. They are not my regular vet but they got her in, took great care of her and eased my mind. The staff is caring and thorough. I will definitely come back if I ever have the need again. Thank you Dr. Cutler for your help.L R.L R. ★★★★★ Amazing people, super friendly, gave my fur friend lots of love and attention, very informative.. price wasn't to shabby eitherJeremy D.Jeremy D. ★★★★★ We’ve only been coming here since last year but after our first visit we decided this is our new vet!

My cat likes coming here because they always give him the good treats and lots of attention . 😉 Don’t look around anymore, this is the place to go!Here’s my baby, Leo. 💕Lisa H.Lisa H. ★★★★★ If you have a doggie and live in this area, I recommend going here. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They are great about letting you know about costs. Our lab had to cross the rainbow bridge recently and they were so kind to us during the time we were there. The vet did everything they possibly could to help us and our doggie through his journey. It was an extremely difficult time and we felt the vet was there through every step showing compassion and love towards our dog. I would recommend them to anyone that has a dog.Truman G.Truman G. ★★★★★ I would highly recommend it to new clients! This place is lovely. All of the staff are friendly and considerate. I took my puppy first time to the vet, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff was so passionate and communicative. I got answers to all of the questions as a new puppy owner. Dr. Spannagel is the perfect vet; she was pleasant and professional. I would love to visit next time as well🐾Halynn H.Halynn H. ★★★★★ I decided to try Kiln Creek Animal Care because they are a no fear vet and have extra certifications in treating cats. My cat has had some traumatic experiences in the past so vet visits always stress him out. The staff was friendly, helpful, and quick, and they were very patient and caring about my high maintenance fur baby. I will certainly be back!Amber DAmber D ★★★★★ Wouldn't take my four legged son anywhere but here.J 5.J 5. ★★★★★ The communication/information was effectively explained.

The are adaptive to my pets' needs and to working with me while seeing mutual clients' pets. I am thrilled to be working with a a veterinary practice that wants to continue to improve their Fear Free understanding and practices. Having worked in the veterinary field myself I understand how stressful this type of environment can be for humans and animals and these women have done a great job pursuing low stress for everyone - pets, their parents, and the staff. In the just the few years I've been working with them and taking my own pets to them I have seen great improvements as they take their continuing education for both medical advancements as well as behavioral education seriously and passionately. It's been a pleasure working with KCAC and I look forward to continuing to work with them and have them care for my pets.Sydney W.Sydney W. ★★★★★ Best vet I've ever been to by far. My pit is an anxious dude and has always been so scared at every appointment he's been to, and would shake on and off for a good chunk of the rest of the day afterwards. He definitely would never dream of willingly approaching any personnel, temptation of treats or not. But on his first visit here, the staff were so patient and kind with him that he actually accepted treats, and even more surprisingly was willing to eat straight from their hand, which is just. Insane to me. He kissed??? One of their faces????? He's such a shy and nervous dog???? It happened so quickly???? I'm so proud of him???? And so thankful for such a wonderful team!! The techs were just the sweetest and super knowledgeable, and our vet was willing to work at his pace to make sure he was as comfortable as possible at every step and made me the most confident in his care that I've ever been. He wasnt pulling to leave and he wasnt anxious at all on the way back home - another first. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!!Bree B.Bree B. ★★★★★ They have always taken great care of our pets and show so much compassion. They are a fear free vet meaning they take the utmost care in making sure pets are calm and comfortable.Farid M.Farid M. ★★★★★ We needed a vet appointment because Oliver wasn't eating and hardly drinking. We were able to get a same day appointment which was a big relief. He is normally terrible at the vet and needs to be heavily sedated to even be examined. This clinic is fear free certified and I think it really made a difference! He didn't need to be sedated even for blood work and xrays. The staff was spectacular and got him feeling better. I will be taking all our pets here from now on!Sarah E.Sarah E. ★★★★★ I travel a lot! These people here are so kind and amazing at their workplace. They always find someway to accommodate my schedule and my Dogs needs.Joshua Roberts (.Joshua Roberts (. ★★★★★ Kind vets, large, clean facility, and a dedication to ensuring your pets feel safe.

Dr. Spannagel was kind, empathetic, and explained to us what caused my pup to be this sick and interventions going forward. It was a difficult decision and one that I'm glad to have her on Dante's team. The technicians were very gentle with Dante and made sure he was comfortable. We stayed with him for as long as we wanted and I'm grateful that we were able to do so. We parted ways with Dante in our own time.We received Dante's ashes in a beautiful brown wooden box with an engraved statement (one we chose) and his paw print.Thank you once again to Dr. Spannagel and Kiln Creek Animal Care for your kindness..."Floppy ears for life"Karmeena C.Karmeena C. ★★★★★ I’m giving 5 stars to Kiln Creek animal vet because unfortunately this morning I had to rush my sweet hamster in to be euthanized in an emergency situation due to an injury and after calling multiple places and being told “No” I was giving up hope.. I thought I called the emergency vet because I was in such a chaotic state but called Kiln Creek Animal Care and they got us in immediately.. I didn’t have an appointment and was not a client with them but within the 15 min drive it took us, they were set up and ready for us and the nursing staff and doctor came in IMMEDIATELY. Let me just say that I’ve never in my life been treated with so much respect, especially for the life of a hamster. I’ve also never experienced such a welcoming, loving staff and doctor to treat my pet. One of the staff members even offered to try and take her paw prints. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
