    Very bad place. They refused to treat my cat who was having difficulty breathing even though they…read morehad scheduled my appointment earlier that day. I explained funds were limited since I had recently had a cat with colon resection among many other vet expenses, so I needed to approve what they would be doing. I asked about albuterol (I'm an RN in Pacu and have run a cat rescue on the side for many years) and they said they didn't have any, but didn't bother to explain that Terbutaline is what is most often used in a cat respiratory crisis. The first vet didn't listen to anything I had to say and said that she was the one with the vet degree. I responded calmly that there a great vets and there are bad vets so that comment means nothing. She then abruptly stormed out of the room and went and got the owner vet. I did agree to a chest XR at which point the arrogant male vet said they were not equipped to treat an emergency especially with me having a say in any of it and this was at 5:30( my appt was at 5) that he refused to treat and was quite ugly about it and referred me to the emergency clinic in Hoover. Now if funds are limited to begin with, how can I afford the emergency clinic? But of course Kent Farms didn't care. Plus at this point my cat was freaked out in a strange place which made his breathing even worse. They had my cat in the back and brought him to me telling me to leave. As I quickly walked out, I called my regular vet across town and even though they closed at 6 they said come. I got there at 5:57 and the vet stayed and treated him. The XR was not definitive. Radiologist that read it said either asthma or fungal pneumonia. Now they think heart worm is a possibility. Anyway my regular vet saved his life that with terbutaline, steroids, and antibiotics. He is now on Revolution, prednisolone, and occasionally requires a round of Doxycycline. Fungal blood tests came back negative. The experience at Kent Farms happened over 4 months ago. I was trying to go some place closer to home, but that was a mistake. Kent Farms even called the next day and left a message wanting to know what happened with my cat and asked my address so they could send me a bill. A bill for what, for endangering his life by refusing to treat him. Kent Farms Animal Hospital is awful.

    Dropped off two fully vaccinated and healthy small dogs for a 6 night stay. I was at the emergency…read morevet with two very sick dogs less than 24 hours after pick up. Both dogs had a vaccine resistant kennel cough and had not been treated for it, one dog had pneumonia. I chose this place because it had a veterinary clinic attached and was assured my pets would be seen if needed. This definitely was not the case. I spent 3X the amount I spent on boarding trying to save my dogs from what they caught at this facility. The vet at the emergency care mentioned the volume of animals at the facility was probably a contributing factor. Never again! Don't be fooled by this new and modern looking place.

    We live across the street from the Birmingham Animal Hospital & Resort. It just opened up. We can…read moreliterally walk our dog there. My dog, a 6-year-old French Bulldog is reactive. That means it is very hard to deal with at a Vet office. The owner met me one day and said, "Bring Otis in during your walk. We will give him treats and he can get familiar with our place. I did just that, and Otis started to take me to the front door so he could see his new friends (unbelievable) and get treats. This morning, I took Otis in for an actual visit with the Vet. A vet assistant was educated in these kinds of dogs. She educated me, gave me some sedatives for the next visit and explained that these small bullies are simply like this sometimes. Otis got a shot for the flu (I highly recommend) stool sample, heart and teeth checked. He also got a q-tip in the ear. I had to hold him tight, but it was fine. The staff showed calm professionalism. The facility is pristine, and the parking is plentiful. They have day care, VIP Day care and boarding. Amazing place and so nice for us. I highly recommend.
