If I could give zero stars I would. My dog was a patient of theirs his entire life... the receptionists are ignorant and do not care about animals. All in it for the money. It took them weeks to diagnose our dog with 2 forms of cancer. We were told blood work would be done to confirm then told when it came back that the test they do in house is not thorough so we would need to come in and do more blood work and send it away, quoted $65 on the phone and when I went to pay it was $85. When I called to tell them our dog was very bad and needed emergency attention we were told they didn't have time and would medicate him til they could put him down the following Monday. I was forced to go to an emergency vet to have him euthanized that day. When I called to tell them we would no longer need the Monday appointment as he had passed away over the weekend, their response was "OK I will cancel the appointment, thanks" NO COMPASSION WHATSOEVER. Do NOT go here. They do not care for your animals (with the exception of one part time Vet named Tara who was much more compassionate) Unfortunately because of the rest of the employees I will never bring another animal of mine here nor recommend this place to anyone. My dog meant everything to me and they treated him like nothing. Read Less

I have to say that this is the worst service I have ever received for an animal. I have had many animals over the course of my life and I have had some poor service before but the staff at Kingsdale takes the cake. They don't even try to hide the fact that they couldn't care less about your animals suffering or the pain of the owner. Over the course of diagnosing my dog's illness I saw a couple different vets there and I was absolutely disgusted with how these people treat those in need of help. I have never felt more like a dollar sign than I did the past month at kingsdale. The interest of that place is purely financial. If you don't believe it by all means take your animal there and find out for yourself but if you love your animal the way I did then I urge you never to go to this vet. Read Less

Amazing and caring service. The negative reviews all seem to be about them not having emergency care, nether does my Dr's office. There are emergency facilities for that. I have been going here for years and they have alway made an effort to give my late cat exceptional quality of care. Read Less

I strongly agree with the positive comments, but want to note that this is only if you don't care to count on them in times of emergency. I also agree with the negative comments speaking from my own experience. They don't handle emergency calls and requests properly at all! So if you have any emergency, go to the emergency vet, and just give them a courtesy call. Do not count on them to help in that situation! On one morning 9 am I suspect that my dog broke his legs and he was not moving and in pain. I called immediately. The girl said she will see if there is anything available. But they didn't call me back until 3 pm in the afternoon. Something is wrong with their business model here. If a dog is in pain, and the owner notified you the minute after your open, you should try and see the dog immediately. This can be done by leave some spots for same day emergency, or reschedule some regular visits. Due to this incident, I'm seriously considering changing our vet to another one that has longer hours and will be there for me and my dog when we actually needed them most! Read Less

In 25 years of owning pets I've never encountered better care than the Kingsdale staff! I currently have a cat with a one-of-kind esophageal condition and can say with absolute certainty that he would not be alive today without Dr. Montgomery, her care and compassion. Now almost three years later, he just had his third birthday and wouldn't have lived beyond three months without having just the right professional to help figure out how to feed him (he can't ingest solids), ensure he wouldn't be treated like a guinea pig for tests and making us as comfortable and well-informed as possible during a critical and scary process. Tests have never been suggested (or advised against, which does happen!) without a full explanation of why and what they would entail, along with all other possible options and any associated costs. I will never take a pet to anyone other than Tara as long as I have the option! My cat is also quite aggressive but seems to understand and appreciate that the Kingsdale staff are there to help him, and contrary to 'standard' cat behaviour Kingsdale is the only place I can bring him where he remains calm and relaxed, and is willing to be handled by others. I have also had the opportunity to visit with 2 other vets at this location and they provided great care as well. My extended family has many cats and dogs, they go here too. If you want confidence in making an informed decision about the proper care of your animal, this is the right place. I read a lot of reviews before deciding to take my pet here and I'm glad I recognized that most of the negativity was written hastily..or perhaps with a lack of understanding of true ethical treatment. Tara and all the Kingsdale staff are first class! Read Less

Took my chihuahua here today. I got him new he’s 11 weeks old and I wanted to find the best vet for Jax. After reading many reviews on different vets some good and not so good I decided to take my baby boy here and very happy I did! Dr. Tara Montgomery was wonderful with him and the staff! Very clean friendly place not to mention the price is reasonable. I also made an appointment for my daughters dog 10 month old German shepherd and Dr. Tara was absolutely awesome with him! I highly recommend this veterinary clinic for your fur babies. Read Less

HAH!!  Very interesting to see the ratings for this animal hospital.  I wondered how long it would take for this kind of reputation to catch up to it.  Dealt with this poor excuse for a vet clinic many years ago.  Nuff said.  Carry on Kingsdale, keep doing what you're doing.  The "good" vets left this place years ago.

I have an eight year old cat who is very difficult at the vet. While he's a great cat at home, he becomes very aggressive at the vet (I believe he's afraid). I've had vets refuse to provide him care due to his behaviour and other vets who provided minimal care. Kingsdale's experienced staff could deal with his behaviours and meet his medical needs. They wore welding gloves to hold him, genius! I recently brought in a new puppy. The vet provided us with tons of information, did a thorough exam, gave vaccinations and answered all of our questions. She took her time and we did not feel rushed at all, despite it being her last appointment of the day. I would recommend Kingsdale animal hospital to everyone who has a cat or dog! Read Less

We just recently adopted a rescue cat and had to take her into Kingsdale because after a few days at home we noticed her eye was really swelling. Not only was I impressed with the super clean facility, the staff was extremely welcoming and got us into a room right away. Our visit was with Dr.Clark and she was amazing! Dr Clark took her time and thoroughly checked Gigi over, she even took some time to see how the healing process from being spayed was going and that procedure wasn't even done at Kingsdale. Aside from telling us how to care for Gigi's kitty cat cold, Dr Clark gave us very helpful information and tips about how to help a rescue cat settle into a new environment. Two days after we took Gigi to Kingsdale, we received a call from them just checking in to make sure the eye drops were helping and Gigi was starting to feel better; it was greatly appreciated :) Read Less

Dr Brad Hinsperger is by far the best vet I've ever been to. (And I've moved around a lot). Both of my cats have been in to see him with two very different cases. Each time he's been very caring and took his time to thoroughly examine my kitties. He also has personally called me to go over test results, next steps, and check ins. He is incredibly knowledgable and explains things in a way that is very easy to understand. I will forever be bringing my cats and future pets to him. Read Less

My dog was an on-going patient at Kingsdale. I called on Saturday because my dog was dying. I needed to end her suffering. They turned me away, saying that there wasn't an opening until Monday. They didn't provide any other options. My phone call with them probably lasted 30 seconds and they ended it. (I found an emergency vet clinic on my own... no thanks to Kingsdale.) Shocking!

Kingsdale Animal Hospital has provided exceptional, friendly, reliable and supportive service to my family for almost 20 years. The facilities are clean, the staff are friendly and welcoming, the veterinarians knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy. We have trusted Dr. Brad Hinsperger with many surgeries for our boxer and he is always open to discussing and pursuing alternatives. Our dogs literally love going to the vets! I recommend Kingsdale to every pet owner I know. Read Less

After reading all the good reviews I was going to bring my cat here. But after checking out the website I learned that they offer declawing service here. It's a barbaric and totally unnecessary procedure, plain and simple. If you can't handle the claws that come with a cat, then you shouldn't have a cat, and all vets should be on board with that.

Kingsdale Animal Hospital truly earned their position on top to win the 2016 Top Choice Award! They are constantly working hard to make sure everything is perfect and every customer is satisfied. Keep up the amazing work ! Read Less

We would like to thank Dr. Tara Montgomerey for her kindness and compassion. It was a very difficult time with Monarch being so ill but her compassion was very heart warming for us. We would also like to thank everyone else for all the times that we have had Monarch there, either for medical service or for boarding. I know everyone treated her with much love. We have been with Kingsdale for over 30 years with our pets and would recommend them to anyone looking for a vet. A wonderful group of professionals and once again a very big Thankyou Read Less

I have been taking my two fur babies, Sam and Bailey, to Kingsdale since I moved to KW in 2005. I've had the opportunity to work with all the vets, especially Dr Montgomery and Dr Hinsperger, and they are beyond amazing. Combined with their staff, this clinic provides top notch care. They are compassionate, thorough and go out of their way to provide excellent care to their patients...and support for the families. I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to recommend Kingsdale. As long as we have pets and live in this area, they will be the only vet clinic for our furry friends. Read Less

The reason I chose Kingsdale is because I sent out an email to several vets in town asking a question about genetics. Dr. Hinsperger was the only vet that replied. That showed me he was a very caring vet. So I began taking my 2 malamutes to see Dr. Hinsperger and have always received excellent care. He's incredibly thorough and explains things in depth. We always get great treatment, advice and follow-up. Recently Tehya, my female malamute was spayed and I was so impressed! When I brought her home the next day, it was like nothing happened, it was a breeze for me, her belly has healed perfectly without any problems. All the staff at Kingsdale are wonderful. If you are looking for a great vet, I highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Hinsperger. Read Less

Dr. Hinsperger is a fantastic Vet, he's very friendly and takes the time to explain in detail everything thats going on with our children Dakota and Sierra. The staff are very friendly to. Keep up the great work!!! Read Less

The doctors and staff are absolutely fantastic. I know my pets are getting the care they need. They are also very honest and give you their opinion on what needs to be done and all the options available. But most important is they shower the animals with attention and are so amazing with even the shyest... At times nippy animals. If you are looking for a great vet, this is it. Read Less

Do you guys have any local resources for trying to find new forever homes for cats? We need to find a new home for one of our girls.....the 3 of them together are just not getting along and it isn't fair to anyone in the house. I really don't want to go the kijiji or humane society route. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Read Less
