A few weeks ago my Doberman Memphis fell ill having trouble breathing. I called K+K and when they answered they asked if it was an emergency and if not, if I could hold. I said emergency and they calmly asked what was going on and I hysterically told them. I knew they get busy and can only see a limited amount of emergency patients so I asked if they had one available and they said to bring him in. We live 45 minutes away and unfortunately Memphis passed on the way to the hospital. But I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and for being willing to see him on such short notice. Memphis always loved coming to see you guys. I'm sure you remembered the close call he had two years ago. All the best to everyone there. Thanks again. read more

From the minute I spoke to the girl on the phone I felt like I was nicely being scammed. Get a word salad when asking about costs until they got my deposit. It's like all businesses. All about money read more

Warning to Pet Owners I do not recommend Karing for Kreatures. I brought my cat in for a respiratory infection, and she was not properly diagnosed. Instead, a SNAP test showed positive for FIV/FELV. The office manager discussed this out loud in the lobby and blamed me for not having my cat tested earlier. She asked where my cat was spayed, and when I said the HOPE Foundation, she stated that was the reason for the positive SNAP test and said my cat must have been around other cats. She then told me it was my fault for not bringing my cat to their clinic for testing. This conversation took place publicly. Later, my cat had actual bloodwork, which showed she was negative for FIV/FELV, confirming the SNAP test result was incorrect. After continued lack of proper diagnosis, I had to rush this cat to an emergency veterinarian, where she was diagnosed with cancer. By that point, she had already gone through significant time, expense, stress, and pain. I also had serious issues with my second cat. I brought her in for what appeared to be a bite on her leg. Her condition worsened, and she later became unable to breathe. I rushed her to the emergency veterinarian, where she was found to have a blockage in her lungs, and she passed away. This clinic is extremely expensive. When my cat stayed overnight, I was told I would receive updates and photos, but I received the same photo multiple times from different angles. Based on missed diagnoses, incorrect testing, poor communication, unprofessional behavior and the outcomes my pets experienced, I strongly caution other pet owners before choosing this clinic. read more

Called about my green water dragon losing appetite, they got me in the same day, very kind, concerned & professional! The vet tech & vet were wonderful, so caring & friendly. Got my lizard treated for gum rot & they gave me many tips on how to make sure she's as happy & healthy as possible. The charges were insanely reasonable, & they talked to me about the degree of necessity for each item. I am so happy to find these awesome animal healthcare providers for exotic pets! read more

I will not give this hospital any rating I don't know if this woman as a x-ray or what her title was but her name is Lawanda a elderly woman that was very rude and unprofessional. She came into the office with sarcasm and being very disrespectful. And asked if k was confused about a quote for almost 800.00 dollars. I do not recommend going to the hospital. However the other staff was very nice. The woman insulted me by wanting me to leave as soon as possible when I was nothing but nice. I just said I wanted to leave. However the women questioned if I paid for the exam which I had to pay when I made the appointment I had to give at least one star but I would not give this place any stars read more

We moved to the area in April and my goal was to find a trusting vet to establish my dog with. I found Karing For Kreatures on a whim, after researching the options in my area when my dog needed urgent care. They thankfully had availability for a same-day appointment and I was pleased with the service my husky and I received. All of the staff were kind and gentle, and really stuck true to providing a "fear free" environment for my dog. They had all of the resources needed to treat my dog and were patient enough to answer any and all questions/concerns I had. Dr. Collins was the vet assigned to us and she was very attentive and knowledgeable. She eased my worries by providing information that was clear and concise. Financially, I knew what I was possibly facing with a 90+ pound dog receiving tests and X-rays, however, I was not deterred by the price of our treatment plan knowing that my dollar was going towards such a comforting, knowledgeable, and stress-free veterinary clinic where I also felt listened to. It's very safe to say that I will continue to bring my pets to Karing for Kreatures for as long as I am in the area. Thank you KK! read more

My dog is forever disabled unless we can afford a expensive surgery to fix their leg i took them to the hanford vet and they are getting treated there now because the cast was removed too soon my dog will always walk with a limp. also this facility lied that they sent over the medical records for suki to the hanford vet but they never did. read more

Absolutely amazing. My second review because my animals keep doing animal things and needing assistance! From Foxtails to a possible dislocated hip. Multiple giant growths and more. They know I love my dogs! So when my Crumpet Sassy Lashes had to stay the night I got updates all night. Even pictures at 2am which allowed me to finally sleep. Dr Betchel and her entire office is just amazing. This time photos will be attached showing the care my babies received and why she's known as sassy lashes. read more

I've been coming here for just under three years with both my 95lb dog Remi and 15lb dog Lady. The staff have always made us feel welcome. Although their office is not close to my home, I choose to use this vet due the way they treat my animals and me. My dogs are always happy to see the girls here and get a few pets. Any questions I have are always answered fully. It is always clear whether something is necessary vs optional. When given a treatment plan, the breakdown of cost is clear and if I decide to postpone/eliminate a part of the plan or add something to it, the staff are able to do that. The staff is great about making follow up calls to check on my pups when they've had serious health issues. Over the years I've seen them handle difficult or sensitive issues with grace and poise. I wholeheartedly recommend them for your veterinary needs. read more

I had been taking my cat here for almost 3 years, it was mostly ok at first, but then I started realizing how they constantly try to upsell. They prey on unsuspecting clients who will just agree with all the recommendations because we don't know better and trust that they know what is really needed. Not only are they sneaky, but they said my cat was constipated so I okayed an enema; they didn't even clean him up afterwards! He came back smelling like shit and literally had shit all over his butt and tail, it was disgusting! read more

Been three times & my pets love it. Friendly & knowledgeable staff and Dr. B is amazing. Keeps you well informed about your fur babies and that's something I need bring a first time fur momma. Highly recommend read more

Of all the vets I've ever taken my pups to this is the one that will always stand out. They were so friendly and affectionate throughout the whole process. We had the healthiest most amazing dog ever and things changed so quick and for the worst. They were there the for use the whole time. Thank you for doing what you did and making our situation better. I know Luna was taken care of overnight with love and she thanks you for that. read more

I just want to say what a horrible vet you guys turned out to be. It is so sad that we trusted you guys with our pitbull for a surgery a year or two ago to remove that ball on her leg, and when we brought her home she was COVERED in DRIED DOG SHIT!! When we called to complain You guys claimed you had no idea how that happened and did not even try offer any explanation for how this happened. Fast word to now , we have an issue with her and STILL wanted to trust you guys with her even after that incident, and we are told she's on a "no surgery" list because we called and complained for what YOU GUYS did to her! How fucken embarrassing of you guys to do that. That is no where near a good excuse to prevent her from getting the care she needs!! Shame on you guys for promoting yourself for "Karing for kreatures" when clearly you guys don't and will send pets home after surgery covered in dog shit. read more

Called 1 1/2 hours before they closed for the day with our small dog in severe pain was told can't see him referred us to Fresno however we had to take to ER in Visalia so that's not good And don't recommend anyone To count on them read more

Called to ask for a price quote for a cytology and exam for a repeat bacterial infection in my dogs ear and they said without the vet seeing my pet they can't give a quote. I really don't see how they can't tell me how much a cytology and an exam costs. After speaking with the combative front desk staff, I won't be visiting this vet ever read more

Beware of this place. If you can't make it rain $$ with no questions asked, you're treated differently. Snippy, "mean girl" type staff. Check reviews AND responses. So inappropriate. Childish even. SMH read more

The staff has always been so sweet and comforting to my dog. Definitely recommend to anyone that is looking for a vet for their fur baby.

Worst place to take a large breed dog. My boy is the sweetest dog and they miss judge him based off his size. They double muzzle him when he didn't even show any signs of aggression. The vet tech didn't even try to introduce her self she just told my wife to muzzle him and then came back and muzzle him a second time. But before this he was so sweet to a random customer in the lobby. Then had to nerve to tell my wife that she is the problem. When my dog did nothing wrong. Never coming here again only place we ever had a problem with him. read more

Loved how friendly the staff was and right away greeted my puppy and I! I called a few hours before and was able to get in that day. They made it very easy and quick as well as helpful with any questions I had. My puppy Manu did awesome as well I'm sure he felt safe. I scheduled my next appointment and can't wait to continue taking my fur baby to K+K read more

My goal is to leave an honest 1 star review but hesitate to give details because they will just tell me how wrong I am and how right they are. I will say, I choose to do business with a competent vet who cares about the animals, not just money and being rude. This vet is not it. Moving 3+ animals to another vet is not fun or easy and therefore, was not done for no reason. read more

My poor baby girl. I was stupid and left her cage door open, she got on top of the big girls' cage and one of them nearly bit her toe off. I called the vet ER in Fresno, but none of the exotic doctors were in. I was directed to K+k and I couldn't have been happier once I got there. The outside of the hospital was beautiful. I loved their chalkboard sign indicating that all animals were welcomed including my rat baby. They even had cute little jars of treats for all different types of pets (bird, herbivore, cat, dog, and small animal) in the room. The entire establishment was immaculate. Not to mention all of the staff were so kind and understanding. By far the best vet location I have ever visited. read more

We recently added our furbaby 2 weeks ago. Scheduled a wellness as my furbaby is a rescue and previouly lived in a homeless encampment. Scheduled her visit with ease. Everyone in the office were so nice and welcoming. Dr. Betchel was nice and answered all of our questions. Would definitely recommend as her care and love for taking care of all the animals she treats is apparent as soon as she walks through the door. read more

Ok, so if you need any prices you need to go to the clinic to ask because they don't give prices by phone, seriously?? And I made an appointment for my first puppy shots and they were like oh shots are this prices and I was oh ok, but because the veterinarian is the one to give the shots, so you have to pay this much, was like 50 or more for a shot, I was like super upset when I have to pay, never never want to come back to this veterinary again. It is pricey and they are not honest. So disappointed with all the good reviews. read more

Clip boards would help. When a call tells me my pet is ready then I should not have to wait for a customer to fill out paper work at the receptionists. They need clip boards. After a call that my pet was ready I still waited another ten minutes to pick her up. So twenty minutes total to get our pet. Med service is good. Front office needs improvement. Meds for dogs must be ordered through the vet office, so when you need a refill, plan way ahead. I hope this helps KK improve their business. read more

Office manager was extremely rude "are you calling to cancel or just complain because your unhappy" is her exact words when I told her I have never had a vet require another appt two weeks before neutering a dog they just saw a few months before. They consistently overcharge and scare people I to unnecessary procedures. They told me my dog could die because he ate bark! By the time they were done with my dog who was completely fine, they got $1500 out of us! As a military family on a budget this was a huge expense we were not prepared for. DO NOT USE THIS. VET unless you want to be scared, overcharged and talked rudely to by office staff. Update: after they read this review they promptly kicked me and my dogs out of their practice and said we are no longer able to bring our dogs there. "We do not service people who try to harm us on the internet" So producing an honest opinion is harming you? Maybe you should rethink your customer service LADONNA. (Office manager) She also then stated I never updated my address which is not true considering we have been there multiple times in the last few years and fill out a form each time we go with our new updated address. This place is the most unprofessional vet I have ever encountered. I feel bad because the doctor herself is such a good doctor but the staff have ruined her reputation based on all the reviews I see on the internet. In regards to their response below she knew very well that she was being rude because I said "well that was rude" and she didn't even apologize. She continued to talk down to me the entire conversation. As for "several months" you saw my dog four months ago, most places only need one visit a year. Cost for the pre op appointment was not explained at any time during the conversation and it made me feel as though I was not trusted enough not to bring a sick dog to the clinic fo surgery. We are all adults here and we know when our pet is sick otherwise you wouldn't have to ask us questions to assess if they're sick when we bring them in. I have been to many vets in the area and although the have the technology, they lack bedside manner and they scared me into spending $1500. You can deny that was the cost all you want but I have the credit card bill and the receipts. I was taken advantage of which disappoints me because I spoke so highly of them until may of this year. You can compare it to human medicine but this is dog medicine and the standards are not the same. I love my dog like a human but a pre op appointment is overkill and sharing client information is a violation of the privacy code of practice and demonstrates how unprofessional they really are. If you can't handle criticism then you shouldn't be in business. Not everyone will agree with you and if anyone questions a policy they shouldn't be talked down to but rather it should be explained down to the cost and reasoning politely not belittled because you are annoyed. I have every right to question why I am giving you my money and if you don't like that it's too bad and you won't be in business for too long if you keep kicking people out of your practice. I will unfortunately make everyone that I can aware of how poorly I was treated because no matter how many questions I have asked other vets I was always treated with respect. Do yourself a favor and find a vet that cares not just about animals but the people that love them. read more

They took wonderful care of both of our pets. My cat had an emergency and we really didn't know what would happen. Everyone was so calm and reassuring that they would do everything possible to help and he made a full and quick recovery. Even during pandemic restrictions, they found a way to care for our pets and ease their anxiety. 10/10 recommend for anyone but especially military families searching for a reliable vet as they relocate. read more

I just want to say that this is hands-down the best veterinary clinic that I have been to in a very long time. The staff are phenomenal nice sweet and funny. I have five dogs and I've also taken a bird that fell out of a tree. They have never not found the issue with any of my animals, of course after a complete diagnostic. Not really sure if that's what you call it but I am thankful that they are very thorough.I am aware that some people are offended by the thoroughness or the amount of money that has to be spent regarding an animal's care, When you take on an animal you take on their health. Thank you Dr. Betchel, LaDonna, And all of your wonderful wonderful vet techs. I am so thankful that we had such a wonderful facility in Lemoore. read more

Great place and love that fact that they are local! I have brought my cats there for numerous issues and the staff and Dr. Betchel are very friendly and professional. Dr. Betchel and her staff often took time to talk to me in detail about the plan of care for my animals and I truly appreciate it. Thank you K+K!! read more

Phenomenal experience each time I have utilized this Practice. I have never waited long and have always been treated well. We are currently going through a cancer battle with our dog and they have gone above and beyond with helping us. I was even given a note to explain to my employer about my dog's cancer. Not only have they been helpful to me, they have also connected with my own animals proving that each employee is what you call a "Compassionate Human" Thank you. Ziya appreciates your help just as much as we do! read more

Dr. B took us on as an urgent patient when our AG, Lola presented with some unusual symptoms. The staff are efficient, kind and personable. Dr. B has been incredibly diligent in diagnosing and treating our girl and getting her to a healthy place. What started as a scary experience has evolved into the best possible outcome with all credit to Dr. B and her knowledge and expertise in treating our little feathered girl. I can not thank the staff and Dr. B enough for all they've done to get our girl back on track and to feeling more like herself. You saved our girl and we are eternally grateful we found you. read more

We are so thankful we found Dr. Betchel and her group! We came from another vet who never treated us like we mattered. Here, though, we can tell they truly care about our family and pet! They have gone above and beyond helping us and our GSD Sally! We have a pretty crazy schedule and they have always been so accommodating to us. If they can't see us they are always willing to assist us via email and picture! Our dog is also pretty reactive and they are so understanding and willing to still treat her as if she is a normal dog! I have never felt so welcomed and understood and they always calm my anxieties over my pet. They are always able to see me within a few days of calling (even on the same day sometimes). We were told at the last vet there was an over 6-month wait for spay, but K+K was able to get us in and seen within 2 weeks! Yes, they might be more expensive than some other places around, but I feel much safer and in better hands so I am willing to pay a bit more for better care. read more

Very impressed with K+K Vet services. I almost always get right in, they offer a military discount, they know my animals and care about my animals. I highly recommend K+K for all of your animals vet needs. read more

Just really really good. ‍ what more do you want? They got there stuff together. No complaints. Everyone's nice and cool ‍

Very rude over the phone. Maybe it's just the person that answers their phone but they could use an attitude adjustment. One star for being open on Saturday's. read more

Too scary, I'm not sure if they are sincere or just trying to get all they can from us. I think it was the office manager that continued to raise her voice at me. I asked about the addition charges and not being told the price of the follow on visit. She said " none of the other people question it." Very rude, made us feel like not coming back. I don't feel confident in there treatment plan. They get two stars for a couple really nice people that work there. I was warned about them but I thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. read more

Update 9/29/18: The response claiming that a change in medication was an issue is untrue. We did request a different pain medication for Cherry, which was given to us with no issue. There was no problem until we asked for an itemized bill and the veterinarian made unprofessional comments. -------------------------------------------- I want to start off by saying the receptionists and vet techs at this office were so sweet and helpful and this review does not reflect the great customer service they provided. I came in with a shelter dog that had been hit by a car and was clearly in pain. A friend of mine who lives 200 miles away from Lemoore was able to pay the bill in full while we worked on collecting donations--if we didn't step in the shelter would have euthanized the dog because x-rays, medication, and treatment for this type of injury would be way over budget for animal control. They took her in right away to give her an injection for pain(which was great), and I waited patiently for her turn to be seen because we came in as an emergency visit. When it came time to pay the bill, my friend who would be paying over the phone wanted to see an itemized bill before they charged her. I don't think this is an unreasonable request whatsoever--any fiscally responsible person would want to see exactly what they are paying for. This money ($430) was coming out of my friend's pocket not knowing if she would ever get a penny of donations. This is when Dr. Betchel began making rude and unprofessional comments to the vet tech directly in front of me. She angemade comments about how we weren't going to pay now that they finished the services, and how we must want to see every single thing that was done to the dog (why wouldn't we?). She told the vet tech to notate 'this situation' in my chart and got down the name of the individual that paid the bill and wanted the name of the rescue that was taking the dog, which was not involved with this vet visit whatsoever. Most rescues I deal with are not local, and I know that's the case for a lot of people trying to help animals. Rescues and selfless individuals covering bills often pay over the phone and need to see exactly what they are being charged for. I wouldn't want any of my rescue friends to ever leave a vets office feeling the way I felt that day. I walked into that office trying to help a dog that was suffering in a cage at animal control, and I walked out really sad and uncomfortable with the way I was treated by Dr. Betchel. I was teetering between a two and three star review, but gave three because of the fantastic vet techs/receptionists and because they did help me get the dog out of pain (which is what I came in for) and to find out what exactly was broken (a pelvis broken in 3 places and a dislocated hip). It's clear they care about the animals that come in, but I think the veterinarian I dealt with could have taken some pointers from her staff regarding being professional. read more
