Helped us out alot.
My husband and I had a very sick Chihuahua we adopted as a puppy ( large heart murmur) and was told he wouldn't live longer than 6 mths, but we were blessed with 8 whole years! The vet we eventually had to start taking him to in Pendleton,Oregon all started with him needing emergency services and the need for heart meds. We also were given a shot that we were told to always carry with us in case he had another episode..THANK GOD WE NEVER USED IT as Dr. Garver informed my husband it would've killed him and his prescribed meds were too high of a dose for his condition. My husband eventually had to bring Felony Handsome in to be put to sleep and the entire process was extremely difficult and hard as would be for any loving fur baby owner Although highly sensitive to it all and angry as well at the time there isn't any other vet we would put our trust in for all our babies needs and care. Dr. Garver and his staff are all very knowledgeable and genuinely care about their wellbeing. I've heard many negative opinions of Kindness Animal Clinic prior to our experience and even after, but now we have our own opinion which is always a positive retort. Thank you everyone at KAC!
Kindess Animal Clinic is a bit of a drive, about 25 minutes for me, but SO worth it. The vet has been accredited with the American Animal Hospital Association for over 25 years, and is the nicest guy. My dog still gets into things he's not supposed to, and if I bring him in too many times in a month, he won't charge me for re-checks on his status. Not only that, but the vet techs are so wonderful to my dog that he doesn't even notice if he gets poked with a needle. I've heard people say he's overpriced, but to be completely honest, he isn't. He knows exactly what's wrong with your pet and all the possible outcomes, so you don't have to spend tons of money on random treatments that are trying to take a stab at the problem. Plus, you can send them pictures of your pet to ask if their symptoms are worthy of a vet visit, also saving you a chunk of change! 10/10 would recommend.
I took both of my cats to Kindness Animal Clinic recently, and I was very happy with the care they received. Dr. Garver and his staff are clearly very knowledgeable about cats, and I could tell they love cats. So could my cats! At other clinics, my cats have often been afraid, but they were handled so gently at Kindness, they were not! I can see how the clinic got its name! They are my cats' doctor from now on!
I have taken all of my pets to Kindness Animal Clinic since I moved to Monroe many years ago. My pets ARE my family. I have always found their care to be excellent, and the staff kind and compassionate. My dog actually loves to go in to see Dr. Garver and the staff because they always give her treats and belly rubs! I like that this clinic is AAHA certified because I know that means that must meet the highest standards. I wouldn't trust anyone else to take care of my furbabies!
Kindness animal clinic and Dr. Garver are awesome! They truly care about your pet. As we know, all animals are different and I have a baby who does not like to go to the vet, and they do all possible to make sure his appointment is quick, comfortable and not stressful. Thank you all at Kindness Animal Clinic for what you do!
Dr. Garver and his team are absolutely amazing! Not only are they compassionate and caring, but they also understand that our dogs are part of our family and not just pets.
They always take the time and listen to our concerns, recommend the approaches/treatments possible, and provide detailed information regarding options and the costs/effects of each solution. Additionally, the team goes above and beyond when it comes to scheduling appointments and emergencies.
We have never had to wait long to see Dr. Garver and when our time comes, it does not feel rushed. He spends adequate time examining our dogs and resolving any issues. I feel fortunate to have such a caring and skilled veterinarian in our area. I also appreciate the care his front and back office staff provide - they are always cheerful and welcoming. And, as someone with a busy schedule, I find the texts, calls, and emails his staff sends to remind us to schedule appointments for follow up care and to confirm upcoming visits very helpful!
Kindness animal clinic has been by far the most thorough clinic I've taken my pets to. Their prices are par with everyone else in the area, they always provide estimates and are always available via phone when I have questions. i was warned they were expensive but when I price shopped they were cheaper if not the same price as other clinics in the area. I think people think they are pricey because they offer preventative care options instead of just sending you on your way and seeing you next time there is a problem. I think prevention is cheaper than a chronic problem or an emergency!
