I am a life-long Park Slope resident and, many years ago, when Animal Kind opened its' doors, I was thrilled. I brought all my pets to Animal Kind, in addition to some strays that needed treatment. After several years, I grew tired of the revolving door of vets, the impersonal service, and price gouging, and changed to a veterinary hospital near my weekend/vacation home. Today my elderly dog started showing symptoms of a urinary tract infection. I called my vet and she asked me to have a local vet run a urinalysis and email ... read more

When it comes to NYC you're always worried about being scammed and over charged- BE AWARE HERE. If I didn't have a little medical background I would have been stupid enough to take the vets word and a bill of almost $1,000. I came to the vet bc it appears my dog has a tooth infection (he had a small seed stuck in his gum a week prior- from the dog park). Her first and only recommendation is to "put him under anesthesia, do xrays, clean his teeth and extract the tooth if necessary... quoted around $600 if an extraction is no... read more

My review is for the service my dog received at the groomer at Animal Kind Veterinary Hospital. It was my first dogs cut, the groomer came highly recommend, so I was comfortable in taking him there. The groomer came out asked what kind of cut I would like, a puppy cut I said, okay said the groomer. I told her I have a picture, and I explained I would like to see his eyes, did I mention he's a yorkipoo, "cut close to the body, and face to match she said", "no not to close I said", "I just would like to see his eyes I said... read more

Heartless and shameful. Brought my dog in as an emergency case appeared to be having a seizure or stroke and not a soul even took a second to evaluate her. We were turned down with out a thought and handed a slip with 4 addresses on it for VERG Animal Hospital. 24 hours later we ended up having to put our dog down due to the damaged caused by the events. Thank you Animal heartless for turning us away with out even an evaluation in an emergency situation. Interesting part I used this clinic for 8 years with a previous do... read more

I am very disappointed with the service here. I brought my Shih-Tzu in on 7/5/18. I addressed the fact that she may have a eye infection. Dr. Payne gave her a topical cream for irritation above her eye and said she had allergies. He wanted to put her on a monthly steroid which I refused. How can you put a pet on a monthly treatment without diagnosing the problem. 10 days later on July 15, 2018 I had to take My Shih-Tzu back to her regular vet and yes she in fact has a eye infection. My vet properly examined and tested her... read more

Be careful with your WALLET here. They have the "estimate vs overcharge" system and they make you sign a contract saying they will take you to court if you do not pay the surprise amount. Whatever the initial estimate or diagnosis, you will be charged more, period. Even when the doctors are being "considerate" or "conservative" which they try to be...they will squeeze you a bit more. I practically begged them to consult me before charging more but their business model doesn't work that way. $800 after my initial visit, ... read more

My dog wasn't eating. They prescribed antibiotics which made her vomit over next two days. I bring her back and they suggest we admit her for tests - ultrasound, blood work, etc and supportive care. 2 days later they still aren't sure what's wrong but they recommend a surgery to make sure there is no blockage. They do that and still no improvement. Almost a week of "$upportive care" and they tell me they don't know what's wrong with her and I should see a specialist? WTF ? Tests, surgery and now you tell me you have no spe... read more

We have used Animal Kind for several of our hamsters in previous years and have always had great experiences until today. On Wednesday, I called to make an appointment for my sick hamster, and I was told the soonest I could see someone was Friday after 2 when the hamster-treating vet came in; they told me that not even their emergency staff was trained to treat hamsters. That was difficult to accept given the seriousness and time sensitive nature of my hamster's illness but fine, there were no other places that treated hamst... read more

I will never take another pet here. Both of my dogs had been going to Animal Kind for About 12 years. My beloved 15 year old dog passed away in October while fighting cancer. After many visits and thousands of dollars not one person reached out to express their condolences, not even a card. A$$holes.
