★★★★★ We have 2 senior pets and we spend a fair amount of money and time on their health. Prior to moving to this neighborhood we were paying double what this location charges for an exam fee so we appreciate the affordability. This place is fantastic though! Dr Carr is our primary vet and she really takes her time explaining things to us and laying out options for care. We’ve also seen Dr McLaughlin a couple times in last-minute visits and she is also great to work with. This place is always busy but the admin staff are so kind and helpful on the phone. The turnover time for refilling meds is also very quick, often within an hour or two. I really can’t say enough good things about this place. They treat our pets so well. I’m so thankful we have them for our fur babies!Krystal N.Krystal N. ★★★★★ Dr Hodgson has been our pets' vet for over 25 years. We love it here. They are a bit expensive but are knowledgeable and can answer all your questions with confidence.crazycatlady 3.crazycatlady 3. ★★★★★ Nearly 20 years ago, Dr. H gave my tomcat life saving surgery when many other veterinarians in my area would not touch him because of potential complications. And the ones who agreed to attempt the surgery wanted thousands of dollars, which I could not afford at the time.My tom recovered and thrived for many more years! Since that time, I have taken all my pets to Antioch Dog and Cat Hospital. I continued with their care even after I moved to Joplin for a couple of years. I am glad to be back in the KC area so I do not have to drive 3 hours to receive Dr H’s splendid care for my pets!Dr H is an extraordinary veterinarian who truly cares about his patients.

I have been to several vets and never liked any as much as here. Dr. Carr was amazing with one of my cats. She found his tumor, and then when we had to go to specialist she continued to follow his care. We recently had to put that kitty down at an emergency vet so I called to let her know. She wrote me a wonderfully kind note after. All of the other staff are amazing. I believe Ive seen every vet there with all my kitties and every one of them has been amazing. I highly recommend this vet clinic.Kaley S.Kaley S. ★★★★★ They've been wonderful with both of our cats. Dr. Carr is wonderful and highly competent!Ronnie DRonnie D ★★★★★ Fantastic service and people.

I feel good about the care my pets receive here.Bonnie S.Bonnie S. ★★★★★ I can't begin to express my gratitude even and how amazing this place is! the only place that took my cat Clover that was very, very sick without an appointment. I couldn't find anyplace that would take her and she was declining rapidly... I don't know why places don't do this more becasue the longer that your pet has to wait they could get sicker. So bless their souls!!!! They are lifesavers! Thank you so much all the staff there is awesome as well. HUGE Shout out to Dr. Hodgson. You can really really tell he truly cares about animals!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️Cara R.Cara R. ★★★★☆ They got us in quick, gave me a break down of quote for what we needed, and were honest that my cat didn't NEED something done. I had to give it a 4 star because the quote was crazy expensive and I was told that quote would even depend on the vet. We moved here from a different state last year and our previous vet specialized in cats. So I was surprised by my quote. Still though great place, great vet and techs, quick, efficient, and clean. If I was in a pinch, I'd book another appointment. Especially since they're conveniently close to my home.Alissa F.Alissa F. ★★★★☆ Very happy with their services. Everyone is very friendly.Daniel S.Daniel S. ★★★★☆ Got me in with very sick cat when others were too busy. Cost high but great service.Toni P.Toni P.js_loader
