Lots of parking off to the side of the building or in front of the building. The only thing I was disappointed about was the cost of everything done. They never told me any of the cost for anything until I got up to the front counter to pay my bill. Here I'm thinking 100 oh no it was 800.00. This included the fee to send the bloodwork elsewhere to be tested to figure out what the problem was. ****they accept Care Credit...Credit cards, cash, debit cards. Checks probably if a long customer I really enjoyed the vets and the techs at the clinic. They did respond to all of my questions and concerns, my pet pig did great after the visit and never had another episode One of the Vets called back a few weeks later to give me the results from the bloodwork Overall experience I would say a 4 out of 5. That 5th star is deducted for not discussing the cost before hand. I will an am going back to them for more care of my cats

It is with great sadness, I write this review. My previous opinion was a five star. I really…read morebelieved that Dr. Jackie Pickerell was awesome and capable of making decisions for the welfare of our beloved dog, Mochi. Unfortunately, after our dogs illness that happened last week and the lack of care or support, I need to write this review. I am offering this as a cautionary tale; Dr. Jackie use to be on top of her game. However, since her unfortunate accident, and a loss of someone close to her, and a recent emergency call to her on a Sunday afternoon, I write this. After the last visit to Jackie, and a dose of two powerful drugs into our five pound Chihuahua; Mochi began to have diarrhea two days later. We ignored the symptoms until we noticed, she stopped eating, and by Saturday, began to vomit. On Sunday, we called Alii Vet Hospital. Mochi has been a client for over a year now. Dr. Pickerell returned our call from an exciting boat trip whale watching. Rather than refer us to another clinic, she suggested we give our dog pepto-Bismal. This made our dog throw up and by Monday, she was lethargic. Concerned, we called back, left a voicemail and waited for a return call from Aina Ahou; no one called. Dr. Jackie called in sick on Monday, and no one returned our call about our near death, beloved Mochi. Fortunately, we made contact with a hospital in Kona and rushed Mochi there to Alii Vet Hospital. We are sad by the lack of care or concern from Dr. Jackie and her staff; we hold everyone there responsible. Mochi is still; a week in the hospital recovering from her diagnosis of a serious life threatening illness. We wish Jackie well, and that she gets the emotional support needed. All things happen for a reason. Our Mochi is in good hands now, in Kona at Alii Vet Hospital, available 24/7 as an emmergency hospital. Me ke aloha.

I'm a cat lover. I'm also a nene lover. A friend of mine, along with his dog, and I, found…read moreourselves in a pinch when the dog found a box on Ala Ohio Bypass in Waimea with two abandoned kittens. They were just 10 days old and were given what looked to be dry dog food. By the time we found them, ants had gotten into the food. We are both scrambling, calling for animal rescue. I call Animal Control and Police dispatch. Animal Control says call dispatch. Dispatch says call Animal Control. The left and right hand does not know what the other is doing. I go online looking for Hawaii Humane Society. There's a list of numbers. But they don't list which location. So I just take a photo of the kitties and send it to the first number I see. Unfortunately, they are in Pahoa. They do give me the Cat Cares number in Hawi. So I call Cat Kares and I explain the situation. I have these two cats in a box in Waimea. I cannot take them in because we have another cat. The woman, Debbie, was very argumentative. "I have 60 other cats!" she yells. "I can't pick them up today! I'm asking you to take them in for one day. If you leave them, they will die!" By this time I'm tired of getting the runaround from all the so-called cat rescuers that I've called. But here's the clincher from Debbie. "You can feed them goat's milk!" I'm thinking, you expect me to stop on the road and milk a goat? Where the hell am I to get goat's milk? I have rescued kittens before. But that was nearly 40 years ago! Whatevers, woman! The only helpful thing Debbie did was to text me the number of CatSnip Hawaii. I sent CatSnip a pic of the kittens and hung up on Debbie. She was not very friendly. My friend and his dog decided they would take the cats to safety and find friends at HPA to look after them. CatSnip did come pick them up in the afternoon and put them in foster care. I did mention I'm a nene lover and volunteer conservationist. I will not be supporting or endorsing any animal rescue that does not support native wildlife conservation efforts, including Cat Kares. Whoever abandoned these babies should be held responsible for not getting their parents spayed/neutered and chipped.

I told her that I would rather euthanize them than abandon them (which tears my heart out). She then proceeded to yell at me telling me I was evil for considering putting two healthy cats down. She continued to yell so I hung up her. Full disclosure: I called her a bitch on text. She wrote back to say she would pray and to soften MY heart.
