What an absolute let down. As some of you may know from my Yelp reviews, we have had the hardest time finding good pet care in Brooklyn NY. We did finally find a great Vet but it is NOT this one! I wasn't going to say anything about this place even though they did not advise us correctly about what paperwork we needed to fly our dogs and cats to London and I've had to stay behind in NY for an extra 2 1/2 weeks in an empty apartment because of it. I was going to let that slide, but what I cannot get over is that I came in... read more

Usually very good with both my pets when I lived there, but recommended and performed an unnecessary dental extraction on my Shiba.

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

Steer clear unless you are a veterinarian and can diagnose and care for your own pet. I would rate Dr. Gibson as reckless and irresponsible. He diagnosed my pet as having cancer. Very serious, Dr. Gibson said. He'd ruled out digestion, kidneys, all other things, but there was free-floating fluid, and his diagnosis was cancer. He showed me the xray and the ultrasound. I said (through tears), look how big the heart is of this big-hearted cat compared to his little body? The vet said, hold on, let me listen to his heart. He co... 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
