I can't speak highly enough about Helping Hands Veterinary. After taking my senior cat to our…read moreregular vet, I was told he would need extensive dental extractions that could cost anywhere from $3,000-$4,000. While researching options, I somehow found myself on Helping Hands' website, and I'm so glad I did. Their pricing was straightforward and transparent, with the flat fee including blood work and everything else needed for the procedure. When I arrived, the intake process took about 30 minutes, and the staff carefully walked me through exactly what they were going to do. They told me I could pick my cat up around 5 PM, which gave me the rest of the day to explore Richmond. While waiting, I grabbed breakfast at The Fancy Biscuit, walked around Virginia Commonwealth University, did the canal walk, learned about the history of the bridge the Confederates destroyed while retreating from Union forces, and even stopped by a brewery with an amazing outdoor area. Richmond ended up being a really great day trip. When I picked my cat up, they told me he did great. He did end up needing many teeth removed, but I could immediately tell he had been well cared for. We're now two days post-op and he's already eating again. They also sent us home with all the medication he needed. This place is absolutely amazing. Affordable, compassionate, organized, and clearly staffed by people who genuinely care about animals.

This place has become incredibly disappointing. I originally found them because they were…read morerecommended as an affordable option. At one point, the basic dental service was around $260. When I called about a month ago, the price had already increased, and now it's over $500 just for the basics. While reading recent reviews, I noticed another customer shared that their dog still had rotten teeth after receiving treatment here and ended up having to go to a different veterinarian for another dental procedure, spending over $2,000 total. That's extremely concerning, especially for those of us with senior dogs. The last thing I want is to put my dogs under anesthesia more than once because a procedure wasn't done properly the first time. My experience with the front desk staff was also frustrating. I simply asked what records and requirements they needed from my veterinarian, such as wellness exams, bloodwork, or other testing. Instead of clearly answering my questions, I felt dismissed and spoken to rudely. The conversation quickly turned into being told that if I used another veterinarian, they would need to perform their own exam anyway. It felt more like they were pushing me toward either their $500 package or their $1,700 package with X-rays rather than helping me understand the requirements. I spent a long time saving up to get dental work done for my two senior dogs, and this experience has made the process much more complicated than it needed to be. At this point, I'm considering staying in New York and finding a local veterinarian instead. It's unfortunate to see a business build its reputation on being affordable and accessible, only to move away from the very reasons so many people chose them in the first place. Even more concerning are reports suggesting that some pets may require additional procedures elsewhere, forcing owners to spend more money and put their beloved pets through anesthesia again. That's something no pet owner wants to experience.

I wrote a Google review, but I am writing the same thing here. Let this be known:…read more Erica, the lady at the front desk, was completely unempathetic and tone deaf when it came to helping a customer who had just suffered from a very traumatic experience. I have no respect or tolerance for people or staff of any facility who are not understanding and rude to others who are going through a difficult time. The fact that this is the greeting face of your clinic is shameful and extremely unprofessional. I HIGHLY recommend that staff undergo training in regards to customer support and care because no care or support was shown when fees were still demanded from someone who had been suffering from a coma. Extremely, extremely disappointing and of poor quality and character. I don't understand how the clinic expects to retain returning customers when money and interests are valued higher than the well-being of their customers. It truly makes one question the world we live in.

My fiancé had an easy time setting up an appointment on the phone. They even sent a text reminder about the appointment the week of. We decided to go together since this was our first cat in adulthood. The veterinary nurse was beyond kind, complimenting Prosciutto (our cat). She was super gentle and tested to see if he liked Churu (a squeezable cat treat) for the appointment. When she was done weighing him, we waited probably less than five minutes before Dr. Sara De Wet came in. Dr. Sara was incredible. Her bedside manner was beyond amazing. She took the time to educate us about our cat, any future health concerns that could arise, and to answer my plethora of questions. She put on "cat music" (we learned that vet's proved that classical music in vet settings can calm a cat) to help him with his nerves. She complimented him in the cutest ways for being brave and food motivated. He was obviously a bit on edge in an unfamiliar setting, but Dr. Sara was so gentle she made the process as easy as she could. He had a regular check-up and got two vaccines. I highly recommend taking your pets to Scott's Addition Animal Hospital.

They're more than happy to prescribe meds to calm your anxious pet down before visits which is 100% necessary in my case. They gave us a great referral when my cat was diagnosed with a heart murmur. They listen, give you a bunch of options, and also give their personal experience with their own pets. I often use that as a gauge of what tests I want to run and I never feel like they're just trying to get money out of me. I'm writing this because of the amount of time the staff spent with my cat today. He didn't have his usual calming meds and was very vocal about how little he wanted to be there. They gave us so much grace and extra time to make sure we could do as much of the exam in office as possible. And when they needed a couple more things but my cat was too stressed there, they set me up with everything I needed to take samples at home and bring back to them for testing (also gave me the option of getting more calming meds and bringing my cat back when he was calmer). They're (seemingly!) happy to explain things thoroughly and I greatly appreciate that.

The second visit was for a minor health issue with Shrimp. The vet gave me very thorough information and treatment for her. I believe this visit cost around ~$200, including urinalysis and other tests. Our most recent visit was for grooming for Grits. I've never had a long haired animal before and I was so thankful for the time Debbie took to explain how I could best maintain his coat and comfort! This visit, with a first time grooming discount, was $35. The receptionists and assistants are always incredibly kind & seem to really love animals. I'll happily be continuing to go to BSHV for my veterinary needs!
