5 Reviews on “VCA Kootenai Animal Hospital”
I have been seeing a lot of people put one star review for the pricing of VCA Kootenai hospital. Although this place is a little pricey, I believe it is so worth the extra cost. These people truly care about the animals they see. I bring both of my Shepherds here for preventive care and emergency visits. My older Shepherd mix is an angel at the vet, and is adored by this facility. They take such great care of her. My young Dutch Shepherd has a lot of fear reactivity issues and taking her to the vet is no small feat. The vet office was super flexible with me when I brought her in. We attempted to see if we could do her appointment without sedation, and then they worked with me to bring her in a couple hour later after we decided that for a positive experience at the vet she would need sedation. When we realized she would need an stronger dosage, they worked with me to schedule her in the next day. The entire time the staff were concern about making this experience as stress-free as a possible. I greatly appreciate when vets put the animal first before the business. They did not charge me for the two previous failed appointments and were so encouraging. It can be extremely hard on owners who work really hard to train and to be responsible with their reactive animals. I so appreciate the people in this vet office. NEVER lose this aspect of your business.
I stopped going here years ago but when my little dog started crying all day for no reason, VCA was able to get him in sooner. They charged me $500 for a visit and x-rays and still had no answers for me. I called back a few weeks later when his pain worsened and they said it would be a follow up and asked if I wanted the same doctor. I said no and because of that, when I got there they charged me for a new visit ($141) and told me it was probably his teeth which they wanted me to charge me $1,574-$1,967 for. I am sickened by the way they take advantage of animal lovers, knowing we will do anything for our pets!
Bad bad bad place won’t be bringing any of my dogs back to this place.
Pros. Very very sweet Dr. Ramirez she would have treated my dog for kennel cough but gave me the option because of pricing to get x-rays which I said yes to and I also asked for sedation which he needed and she did inform me of the extra charge. She let us know the prices before we agreed. We have been going here and not changed because that’s were the shelter recommended around me. I LOVE that they have a side door for animal aggressive dogs. I love the way they treated my sweet Bark Ruffalo. After the x-rays came back and we did extra blood work we were informed he had cancer. In two places. So it really is up to the human to decide how much they want to spend and how far they want to go. The only reason I’m taking away two stars is because this is by far the most expensive vet in post falls, CDA and Spokane valley. Pricing would not have changed the outcome but if we had chose to make my dog fight the cancer it would be impossible at these prices.
We have had both our puppies at Vca and couldn’t be happier! They take amazing care of the fur babies that come in and do an excellent job explaining things in detail and do a great job for a great price. As young pet owners , they have a great payment plan for our pups that is so affordable. Every veterinarian we’ve ever experienced there is hands down amazing.
