  A very BIG shout-out and deepest gratitude to Dr. Whetstone and the entire staff at VCA on Beville! I took advantage of their Free First Visit as I did at another "Vet/Pet Store" and the difference was like night and day. My 13 yr. old female Shih Tzu mix had developed a nasty growth right by the corner of her eye. I hesitated to take her to her regular vet as some months ago they quoted me an estimate of nearly $700 to remove a golf ball size clump on the top of her head. A vet-tech friend took a look and explained that the attachment to the scalp was minimal and removal would be a very simple procedure requiring no anesthesia nor sedative and that my dog would feel nothing and bleeding would be minimal if any and would heal within a few days. When I asked what it would cost The vet tech friend said "nothing, this is a nothing burger". I thanked her and gave her a nice tip all the same. The result was as if the clump never existed. So when this growth appeared by her eye I wanted to get some feed back as to what I was dealing with before going to see her regular vet. And the Free First offers were ideal. The first Free First Visit vet basically just referred me to an ophthalmologist who when I called informed me that the initial consultation fee would be nearly $250. I then reached out to VCA to take advantage of their Free First Visit offer. And that was my lucky day! Within minutes of seeing Dr.Whetstone I could tell she was genuinely all about the care for the animals. She took her time during the examination explaining in detail what I was dealing with and possible options. She told me that she would confer with her colleague and get back to me later that day, And she did! Long story short she was able to remove the growth at a cost LESS than the Ophthalmologist's fee for the initial consultation! Dr. Whetstone and her staff prioritize the well being of the animals in their care and take into consideration the financial constraints pet owners of modest means are facing. Dr. Whetstone at VCA on Beville is now my dog's regular vet as we have scheduled a follow up visit in 6 months. I am grateful and would highly recommend Dr. Whetstone and VCA on Beville, Thank You!!!

  Staff was friendly and office was clean, however, I will not be going back because they are the most expensive Vet I have ever been to. Same services costs HALF as much at other local animal care centers.

  Ask for Dr Kluth. I am so grateful for her care for our 8 yr old dachshund, Frankie. She is loving and accurate in her diagnosis and treatment of him. She truly cares for him and his well being as if he was her own pet. Other vets have really let us down with their inaccurate diagnosis and mistreatment of his condition, for whatever reasons, whereas Dr Kluth was spot on, and she is so patient in explaining everything and answering our questions. The price may be somewhat high here for some, but it’s well worth the price when you have somebody like Dr Kluth looking after your pet! Thank you Dr Kluth for your care of our beloved dog Frankie! ❤️

  It's very annoying and doesn't make me want to come back to this vet after purchasing a general prescription eye lube for my dog for $45. I got home and checked the online pet pharmacies and it goes for $15.99 everywhere else. C'mon over a 300% markup! Now I know you have to make a profit but please don't do it off my back. Not a happy customer especially after I told you that I just paid over $900 for emergency vet bill days earlier.
