Carrie K.

I just moved to town 6 months ago. GREATFUL I found this place. Helpful, smart, and kind. Everything you need in a vet. I love this place!

Pepper will be going to Kyle Animal hospital for her first check up tomorrow

Other than the cost, this place is amazing. Parking is good. Walk in and you are treated. They are wearing masks and some have gloves so safety is important. They talk to your pet in a calming way and reassure you that the visit will be good. Once they call you with the info on your let, you can pick up and they will explain in detail everything that was done and give recommendations. If this place wasn't so far from us we would continue to take our pup there.

Well I was hoping to write a nice review but glad I waited. The staff was SUPER friendly but that's about all that's good. I waited almost an hour after my appt to be seen. 13 year old dog, blood in urine, BTW. There two hours, found out bad infection and got prescriptions and some UA tools to take sample back in 10 days..brought it in Thursday afternoon, got a call Friday from Dr around 2pm, called back several times and went to voicemail, left message once. Called again this Sat morning, Dr isn't there and nobody can tell me anything...also told me I called at 5:54...ummm that may have been when I left a message but there's clear photos I tried before then. So now waiting on a DIFFERENT Dr while hopefulLy my dog isn't sitting here still with an infection and no medicine. Not impressed. I pray if somEthing was still wrong more effort would have been made on their part.. ***Update, the Dr that was there did call me back and let me know there was still an infection. He told me to take her somewhere else!!!

See all

Firehouse Animal Health Center Kyle

Ok, in all fairness I'm not a vet expert. I don't know what happens behind the scenes, what a…read moremedical exam costs, etc. A lot of time reviews are ignorant of the basics, then the establishment is unfairly put on blast for just covering their costs plus a little profit. So, I'll try to quantify my review as objectively as possible. I asked my friend kids that are both vet techs about where to go. Both of her girls said "don't go to Kyle, they're expensive". I thought "bah... it can't be that bad". More on that later. I called Firehouse to bring my cat in as he ate my medical bracelet & recently got fleas. They got me in within two days. Parking is easy and the place is extremely clean. The staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable while taking some basic info. Taking my cat to one of the rooms, he was attended to quickly and the assistant and Vet were typical pet lovers; showing affection for my animal and wanting to understanding the issue. I really appreciated the attention to detail. They did a thorough exam and also said he didn't need an X-ray since he had been eating and going to the bathroom, so a penny pinched there. They even applied the first round of flea drips to my cats neck. Now comes to cost. For a 6 month supply of flea ointment and the exam was $300. I was thinking that was pretty darn high for 10 mins of petting my beautiful cat! What was more interesting as when I got to the front to check out, I was offered a "free" bottle of wine (red or white for those interested). Being a bit of a wine connoisseur I asked if they could knock of $40 and keep the wine. They said, no it's just a gift for first time visits. So, in summary from my brief and ignorant visit, Firehouse is a caring, clean, and knowledge veterinarian clinic who will attend to your pet quickly. I can't speak on boarding animals, surgeries, etc but I can say the price is a little high for the most basic of services. Would I recommend them? Yes if you have the money however perhaps look else where if costs are a factor.

Disappointed by the constant upselling and pressure... this place is an expensive money grab…read more unfortunately, our experiences have become increasingly frustrating. Almost every time we come in, we leave feeling pressured into additional tests, medications, procedures, or services we did not originally come in for. It increasingly feels more like a sales process than a veterinary experience focused on our pets' needs. We are routinely presented with one thing after another, and the way these recommendations are communicated can make you feel guilty or irresponsible for questioning whether everything is actually necessary. Almost every visit ends up costing hundreds more than we anticipated. We also seem to have a different doctor almost every time, making it difficult to have any continuity of care. We were even told we needed to see a pet nutritionist if we planned to feed our dogs anything other than kibble after I explained that we feed them a raw food diet. Recently, We originally came in because we wanted our dog's teeth cleaned and his nails trimmed. They had a "deal" going on, but once you discuss all of the required steps and additional charges, it hardly feels like a deal. In fact, the total would have cost us more than what I had been quoted by other facilities. We were told blood work was required beforehand, so we came in for that. They were unable to complete what we needed because our dog would not cooperate without sedation. We were told to go home, give him multiple medications to make him loopy, and bring him back to try again--while being charged for the medications and that visit. I specifically explained that we had already tried this approach before and it had not worked. I asked why we couldn't simply proceed with sedation since we already knew the medication protocol wasn't effective for him. I was told it was "protocol," so we followed their instructions. We went home, gave him the medications, brought him back--and, exactly as I expected, it didn't work. This had actually been attempted before as well, and we were charged for the "attempt" plus another visit fee. We were then told to try an even higher dose and additional medications and come back again. At that point, I declined. I wasn't willing to spend my entire week making repeated trips to the vet, especially when I had already told them this approach didn't work, while continuing to accumulate more fees. Eventually, they agreed to sedation so they could complete the blood work and nail trim. Then came the blood work. I received a very lengthy email explaining everything they found "alarming" and recommending additional testing and next steps. There was no cost estimate for the recommended testing, and the actual blood work results weren't even attached. I had to specifically request them, and even then I had to follow up days later before finally receiving my own dog's results. For an establishment that is so persistent about getting you to do more and calling repeatedly, they certainly weren't in much of a hurry to send me something I had specifically requested--my dog's medical records. I ultimately shared the blood work with several veterinarian friends for another perspective. They were not particularly concerned by the results and felt the recommendations being made were much more aggressive than what they would have recommended based on the results. They also felt there were other steps that could be taken before proceeding with the more extreme recommendations being suggested. That experience unfortunately confirmed something I have felt for a long time: I no longer feel confident that recommendations are being made with my pet's best interest as the primary consideration. I constantly feel pressured to do more, test more, medicate more--and ultimately spend more. The communication during this visit was also excessive. The doctor called me back-to-back-to-back when I didn't answer the first call. I understand wanting to reach a client, but repeatedly calling someone who simply isn't available felt excessive and unprofessional. On our first day meeting this doctor, he immediately walked in and said, "Hi, I know you denied XYZ vaccines today. I want to educate you," and proceeded to explain why I needed to do them. I had to explain that we were there for something else and that those were things we could address in a couple of months. Again, it felt like the focus was on adding services rather than simply addressing why we were there. I don't have an issue with a veterinarian recommending additional testing when it is genuinely warranted. What I have an issue with is feeling pressured into a growing list of services and made to feel irresponsible for questioning them. As a pet owner, I should be able to ask questions, understand why something is being recommended, know what it will cost, and receive my pet's results without having to repeatedly ask for them.

But I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Maggie and her team at Compassionate Pet Vet. From the moment they arrived at our home to help us say goodbye to our sweet Chloe, they showed an incredible amount of kindness, patience, and compassion. Dr. Maggie was so gentle and respectful of what we were going through. She took the time to explain every step of the process, what to expect, and made sure we felt comfortable and never rushed. What could have been an even more heartbreaking experience was made a little easier because of the genuine care and compassion they showed, not only to Chloe but to our entire family. They understood that this wasn't simply a pet we were saying goodbye to, but a cherished member of our family. While nothing can take away the sadness of losing Chloe, I am incredibly grateful that her final moments were peaceful, surrounded by love, in the comfort of her own home. If you ever find yourself facing this incredibly difficult decision, please know that you and your beloved pet will be in the most caring and compassionate hands with Dr. Maggie and her team. I cannot recommend Compassionate Pet Vet highly enough. Thank you, Dr. Maggie, for helping us give Chloe the peaceful and dignified goodbye she deserved.
