I highly recommend Kenai Veterinary Hospital. All the Doc’s are thorough, caring, make all my fur babies feel at ease and always explain things and answer any questions or concerns I may have. The entire staff is great and always very helpful.

We had to put our beloved dog to sleep this last week. It was incredibly difficult for us, but the staff was wonderful and compassionate. We just received a signed card in the mail with several handwritten notes about our boy. Thank you all!

Super great people. really helped me out in an emergency with my best friend. can't say enough about the doc's understanding and their prices were fair. some vets I have had to visit in the past were completely out of there mind with the prices. it is good to know that their's a vet out there with compassion.

I had an amazing experience with Kenai Veterinary Hospital. They got us in to be seen quickly, spent time really listening to the problem, and fully explained possible solutions. They were affordable, too.
