Dr. Bryce, his tech ( I forget what his name is but he's been there a long time) and the staff were compassionate, helpful and informative. I have never euthanized a pet before and I have had many pets in my lifetime. Although our heart was broken, the patience, compassion and professionalism that was shown to my Mijha , my son and I went far beyond what I expected. Mahalo Plenty Dr. Bryce and Staff! Your Dad must be so proud! He has been our vet for many years and our family for one is proud and grateful that you are servicing our community in Kapaa! Mahalo Plenty Belinda Dolor

    For normal appts the techs and vet are friendly, however in an emergency they refuse you care. Get…read moreestablished elsewhere. My first two calls to Kapaa Animal Clinic around 230pm, the woman told me to give my dog Gatorade and that she would talk to the vet and call me back. She said my dog was having common symptoms of eating / drinking something bad and that she'd proably be fine. Her tone and sighs over the phone gave me the impression i was over reacting to common bloody stool issues and i backed down my panic. I trusted her to call me back. I called again an hour later, she had not talked to the vet but she said would right away. Agan, no call back and they closed for the day at 6pm when i called again. I tried to call the emergency line multiple times. I had hope that based on her experience that the woman was correct, that my dog was having a normal stomach problem and could hang on til morning. At 2 am i finally got an answer to come in. But my sweetie died at 2:30am of dehydration. She needed fluids... She most likely could have been saved. They charged me $200 to hand me my dog in a paper bag 2 weeks later. I will never forgive myself for trusting that woman to call me and for trusting that my dog was having common symptoms and would be ok. She gave me her MEDICAL OPINION AND ADVICE THAT LET ME DOG DIE. I was only apolozed to by others when I went to them asking for answers. I was told theyd speak to management about the issue. I was given no follow up from management. I asked again, why didnt she call me back? Why didnt this woman lose her job? Why could no one explain her careless, dismissive behavior? My best friend is dead at 7 years old and she could have been saved. They did not fire her or have her apologize to me. They paid her to let my dog die. They continue to pay her to give us false information and to not call us back while our pets suffer. She will be paid to let your pets die on her watch too. This isn't just about her negligence, but about how the management is responding (by not responding all) not even offering to creamte my girl that died due to their negligence. It is also about how they are probaly treating and overworking their own employees to a point where they are butnt out- forgetting or choosing to not call back a patient that's been bleeding for hours. Why did I not get a call from management or the nelgigent person? Why have I told this story to multiple people in the community and they have replied with their own story of negligence at this facility and they drive double the time to any other vet on island? Why is my dog dead? Why was I so trusting? Why did I let her tone manipulate how to handle my dogs care? I blame them- yes but I also blame myself for trusting the people I have given thousands of dollars to that do this for a living. I am not sure how long I will mourn the tragic and preventative loss of my best friend. I have lost my pets before and been sad but never due to veterinarian negligence. The one place who is supposed to care as much as you and be able to take action when needed. Update: It has been one month since the Kapaa animal clinic neglectfully my killed my dog, no calls from management, no consequences for the women that lied to me and refused my dog care. She still has her job. They DO NOT CARE. I was an established patient and they refused me emergency care during buisness hours and didn't answer the emergency line. Since telling my story, many people have had the same thing happen there. Just the week before, a woman's dog bled out in their waiting room while they refused to bring them back for fluids. This is unacceptable. Please establish your pets at ANY other vet on the island as this one will let your pet die in an emergency.

I found dr b from doing very extensive searches for holistic veterinarians and searching their backgrounds etc. trying to make the best choice for my baby, who can help get her on the right track and a good plan since she was 13 1/2 and I wanted to extend her life naturally providing for her the best I can. Dr Basko got on her plan right away, he wasted no time. A couple days after the phone consult he had a 2 part treatment plan ready for her. Part one- was a lot of detailed explanations what was going on inside and different ways we can fix it. Part two- was the treatment plan with links to all supplements and foods, shakes to make for her liver, trust me he knows his stuff. But it with a heavy heart that I write... that while I was collecting all the supplements for her to take and get her started on the right foot, she was brought to the hospital here in LA for anemia, and internal GI bleeding. Unfortunately long story short my baby, my best friend, my world did it make it out of the la hospital, the only reasoning for her death they gave us was: collapse. That's it no other explanations. I informed dr b and his team that unfortunately despite our best efforts to fix lulu and her health it was just too late, and I felt super disturbed by the no explanation from the la hospital which i stressed to him. I could not believe it, Dr Basko emailed me back and actually CARED to help me understand what happened to my baby, and get me the clarity I need. Versus her vet in LA who never even said he was sorry for my loss. Dr Basko is a kind, caring, patient and compassionate doctor who TRULY cares about animals, all animals. Lulu was so lucky to have this man as her new vet even if it was only for a week or two. Thank you for everything, from me and little lulu. Rip angel mommy will see you soon

    It's been 5 months since my frenchie baby, Walter, passed away. I wanted to give him the best…read moreafter- death services I could and I believe I did by having his body cared for by Anuenue. I can't say enough great things about Maki, her communication, and customer service. I reached out from Oahu after discovering the company online. I really liked the aquamation process, how gentle it is in comparison to cremation, and that it is environmentally conscious. There are no pet services like this on Oahu and with Maki's help I was able to figure out how to ship Walter's body to her. (For anybody wondering I used Aloha Air Cargo to ship) She kept me in the loop through the whole process, accommodated all my requests, and above all else was so kind and supportive. I feel that Walter was in great hands at Anuenue; it was and still is so hard to lose him but I feel at peace knowing his body was handled with great care. His remains were shipped back to me and everything was beautifully and meticulously packaged. Anuenue provided a beautiful bamboo urn and a clay paw print. I also received hair clippings, nose and paw prints, and, upon my request, some of his bones. I had asked if I could keep any in-tact bones/teeth, Maki said yes and after I selected which ones I wanted she carefully packaged each individual piece. I know that it is a taboo thing for most people but if you are like me and wanted something more tangible just know that that is an option for you. Overall, I would highly recommend choosing them for your pet's after-care needs.

We liked the idea of a greener approach rather than cremation, and the service they gave was excellent. It was very timely, and when they were finished our dog was returned in a beautiful bamboo container with his name etched into the lid. Inside, instead of just a plastic bag containing his remains, they were then enclosed in a linen like bag. He now rests near his favorite spot in the house and we couldn't be happier. Definitely consider using them, you won't regret it.
