Super Place for cats – Recently, my cat was howling at odd hours of the night for no apparent reason. He's 17 years old now and we were unsure if he was in pain or if this behavior was indicative of his old age. We took Hobbes to see Dr. Skip and discovered that Hobbes had severe gum desease and aging kidneys. After a course of antibiotics and vitamins for his kidneys, he's home, happy, and the howling has stopped. During his 3 day stay, I recieved periodic updates on his progress which put me at ease. I've always been pleas... read more
The Negative Claims On This Board Against The Cat Practice Are Absolute Nonsense – I've read some of the negative reviews posted here about The Cat Practice and I'm astounded. What was described is at total odds with my experience with this veteranian going back over 20 years, and the almost identical language and nature of complaints clearly suggests that each of these posts was the work of the same person. Perhaps this naysayer is a disgruntled former employee, attempting to damage the business by flaming it anonymously on... read more
What a wonderful place to bring your cat! – I have been taking my cats to The Cat Practice for years, and I have to say that I continue to be amazed by the outstanding service, and the vets attention to detail. I have read a few disparaging reviews, which really make no sense to me. The review that suggested the vet was rough with the cats is simply not accurate. The vet has always been very gentle with my cats, and takes the extra time to make them feel comfortable.A lot of my cat owning friends take their cats here and the... read more
Not worth the money.. – Not worth the money! Not a very good practice for cats from the vet to the staff. Not knowledgeable. He strikes me as a vet his only there for the buck and has no care or love for cats at all. I hope he goes out of bussiness soon.
Do not recommend.. – I highly don't recommend this vet. Not the nices guy and very impatient so that's strike one. He made me feel like he was in a rush and not willing to answer all the questions I have. Doesn't know and not willing to calm my cats at all knowing the fact that most cats get nervous going to the vet. His not so gentle with my cats either. He kept on slamming them back on the table when they make a moved...he was completely rough to them even though I said my cats are old. There were quite a few technicians w... read more
Amazing Boarding – Have you seen their boarding area? It's amazing! They have a DVD player that plays movies featuring things like birds and insects to keep the cats entertained. The cats there were mesmerized by the show. It was hilarious to watch. This is my first year in the city with a cat and I have been worried about where I'd board kitty over Christmas while I'm away. I dropped by last friday to check out the place beforehand. They gave me a full tour and everyone was friendly and answered all my questions.
Foorget about this vet... – This vet is totaly impatient. I think that in order to be a good vet you really need a lot of patient for animals. This vet is totally impatient and has no bedside manners. My cat was nervous and some how this guy didn't understand how cats can be nervous going to vets. He did not have an assistant present in the room and it was obvious that he couldn't do it himself yet he didn't ask the technician to come in the room instead he was being rough to my cat and using forced on my kitty. You would th... read more
Great Experience! – I took my long haired, 'very feisty with strangers' cat to the Cat Practice in hopes of some help with some bad mats that had formed on her otherwise lovely coat. While she is normally a very loving cat, she had a history of bad behavior at the vet- one time she even bit the tech so hard he had to go the emergency room! in any case, i wanted to take her somewhere they would know how to handle her. the tech was fabulous. so nice and asked many questions to better understand how to care for my special kitty... read more
I agree unprofessional billing... – There seems to be a pattern of complaint with this practice. I have been going here for a while and i have an outstanding balance that i did not know I have. Instead of sending me a notice or contacting me it was sent to the collection agency as well. I would have like for them to have contacted me before doing this. It was absolutely unnecessary. I thought I have a good relationship with this practice, but I now know that I don't and obviously i'm not important of a patient to keep. They ... read more
