I have taken my animals to Koch and Dtigve for over 10 years and have not once had a bad experience nor have I whitnessed anything like the below comments about neglect and such. I moved almost an hour away and still bring my animals here only. The staff is the most compassionate people I have ever met and will continue to bring my babies here. Read Less

Had to bring my dog Leo in today because of an allergic reaction. They were very busy, but took care of him quickly ( without an appointment ) and both the receptionist and veterinarian were incredibly kind and efficient. The receptionist was honestly incredible in her ability to multitask at such a busy hour! I will never go to the Belton Vet clinic again (by Aldis)as they were rude in the past about bringing my injured dog in without an appointment,even though they had just opened and there was no one else there yet. If you want your pet to receive the best care at an affordable price and you are located near Belton, MO, take the extra few minutes to go to Koch-Stigge Veterinary Clinic. They are the best in the area at a very affordable price. Read Less

We had a wonderful experience with our first visit to Koch-Stigge Veterinary Clinic. I can't say enough about Dr. Betsy Koch. Dozer, our Blue nosed brindle pitty received a thorough examination, a check of his microchip information, updates of his shots and heart worm medications. Read Less

I love this vet. Every single doctor is amazing and the staff is very nice! They always work with you and when I had something HORRIBLE happen to one of my pups I received such a nice card from the whole staff. Today I got to take my new baby in and they nicely listened to how much I'm in love with him. They do not over charge like our previous vet (Banfield). It's nice sized and clean. My family used their boarding while in town also and spoke very highly about it and we plan on using that service in the future as well. Fantastic veterinarian clinic . I highly recommend them. They definitely stay busy. Read Less

Great caring staff. Extremely loving to your pet and will go above any clinic or hospital I've ever been to. It is a great honor to know these people and I would never go anywhere else. They know and care. Knowledgeable,caring,people you can Trust when leaving your pet in their care. Prices are the most reasonable in the area Read Less

Awesome prices. My boyfriend took our senior dog there today and they gave us so many reasonable answers (unlike ones from other vet offices). They gave us tons of medical supplies (meds, bath wash, etc) to care for him. They gave an actual diagnosis with blood work, meds, and the visit in general we spent half the price we have in the past for no help or temporary help. We will go back and my other dog will soon be switching to their vet office for her regular check ups. Read Less

We took our kitten blue to these amazing people. We. Had a nice experience and because the weather was going to be bad they let me take her home earlier. I will be back and we live in Lee's summit mo. Not a convenient drive but with a reasonable price and good careit is worth the drive thank you kim Read Less

Came out to my house to look at my Jenny (Ellie Mae) because she had a pretty bad limp. They fixed her up and also casterated by Zebu (Tank) while they were there. Appreciate the prompt service and care for my animals! Read Less

Highly recommend! I have known Dr. Betsy for a few years now and have always thought the world of her. Visited the clinic today for the first time for my Pitbull to have two masses removed and a dental - boy was I impressed! The clinic is very clean, the staff was fantastic to work with, and the prices were very reasonable! Violet was treated like a princess today, with top notch care! Read Less

Best vet EVER! !! Absolutely love them. They are always kind to us and treat our pet babies great. If there is an emergency, they will make room in their busy schedule to take care my babies! I moved to Kansas but I won't take my animals anywhere else! Keep up the great work :) Read Less

I am a town dweller, so I can only comment on house pets. They are efficient and thorough. When I needed to put my granddaughters kitty down, they were very compassionate. When I find a place I like I stick with them. I appreciate the work they do. Read Less

The doctors are great because they are very knowledgeable and cordial. Their prices are very reasonable, and their equipment is top-notch. Their new Astro-turf doggy playyard is awesome! I highly recommend taking your animals to this excellent vet clinic. Read Less

In February I had to take our beloved cat of 20 years in for his final good-bye. The staff was kind, caring and just wonderful the entire time. They gave me the time I needed, were sweet and loving towards Rocky and just went above and beyond to comfort me. Then last week, about a month after, I received a lovely sympathy card that was signed by their entire staff with a homemade card enclosure with a poem, Rocky's name and his paw print. It truly touched me beyond words. You all are simply THE best! Read Less

If you love your pet I recommend them highly. They are caring, compassionate, and professional. The price is extremely fair/reasonable. They dont make you feel silly for contacting them multiple times especially when your pet has to stay. I am confident they are caring for my pet as if he was their own. Dr Bell and his staff have made me feel very comfortable and updated as to my pets health. Thankyou Koch-Stigge my only downside is that we miss Mongo terribly and cant wait for him to come home :) but only when he is ready. Read Less

Highly recommend this clinic!My cat had complications from a urinary tract infection and we had gotten him treated at another vet. Well needless to say,my cat came back to us looking awful fur all matted smelled awful. But anyway we happend to find this vet on the internet,it was late at night around 9 or so called the emergency number and the vet met us at the clinic that night!He was so caring gentle to my sweet Taz. In three days my baby was back to being himself! Love this clinic! Read Less

We have used this practice for a very long time. They do care about your animals. They are a large and small animal practice which suits all of our needs. They are prompt in calling back in emergencies and they don't charge an arm and a leg for procedures. If I can do it myself, they tell me what to do and that is awesome as well! Read Less

I read the bad posts about this place, but i have never seen anything like that during my visits with this vet. They have always been more than helpful, their prices are outstanding and I have never felt that they didnt care about my pet or me. I reccomend Koch-Stigge to everyone that asks about vets. They have made special arrangments for me to pick up medicine when i couldnt get off work before their offices have closed. All around A+ vet. Read Less

I see some pretty negative reviews here and I don't know why. When my old dog was beyond help my regular vet wouldn't come to my home to put him down. Out of the blue I called Dr Stigge and he came out as soon as he could. He also came to my aunt's for the same reason and without prior arrangement. I now use Dr Stigge for my vet needs and I couldn't be more pleased. He is primarily a farm vet and doesn't hold your hand much, but he exhibits compassion for the animal, which is what is most important. Read Less

After 13 years of an unendingly miserable (and expensive) vet experience I decided to give Koch-Stigge a try. They handle dogs, cats and plenty of other animals (the vet I met had just been working on a COW.I was so very, very impressed with their level of service. They were friendly, professional, outlined all of our options and suggested the least expensive route - adding that the 'extras' probably wouldn't be worth the extra cost.I walked out of there with less than $45 in costs and that included medication for my dog. I am definitely going to bring my other dogs and cats there! Read Less

We found a sweet little stray dog on the side of the road and took him there to be checked out. They gave him his shots and told us everything was fine. A few weeks later, we came home and our sweet boy wouldn't get up. We called the emergency line and waited 45 mins for a call back, when I finally did get a phone call, the Dr said it was probley just a fever and to take a suringe and push water down his throat. Then hung up on me (before I could even say thank you).Within the next 10 mins, our dog was having massive seizures, so we gathered him into the car and took him to an emergency clinic 50 mins from my house. By the time we got there it was 11pm and they had to put our baby to sleep. Please keep in mind that this was in front of my 2 children, my 10 year old son held him in his lap all the way to the vets office, crying. The lack of compassion and caring stunned me. I will never return to this place and urge you to do the same. Read Less

When my phone rang and I answered it,my daughter was crying so badly that I couldn't understand her.I have gone to this vet for a couple of years with my dog,and after hearing what they did and what they put my daughter through,I will never go back there.A pet is part of your family,and when things come down to the wire,the choice to have a pet put to sleep is hard enough.Things should not have been done the way that they were.This vet clinic has devastated my daughter,and also my whole family.PLEASE think twice and remember this review and DO NOT take your pet here!

This experience was the most horrific vet experience I have ever had, and I heed warning, that the situation is disturbing, so I suggest not reading if you feel it will be hard to handle. I visited Koch-Stigge Veterinary clinic after relocating from another state. Tigger, my 15 year old cats health had fallen faster than we could handle. He had over the past year become unhappy and uncomfortable. After much thought, we decided it was in my cats best interest to no longer suffer. His quality of life wasn't what it should be, and he was suffering and uncomfortable. My mother-in-law and I entered a near empty vet clinic for my 2:15 appointment, and a long time after, was greeted by Dr. Koch himself. He was wearing filthy mud/manure covered blue jeans and a flannel shirt. Not the clean sanitary attire you would expect a vet to be wearing for the evaluation of sick animals. I explained to him through sobs of Tigger's condition, and after evaluating my cat, agreed Tigger was having major repository issues and that my cat was having much difficulty breathing. His breathing was minimal and labored. I told Dr. Koch that I didn't want my cat to suffer any more. His way of communicating the euthanasia procedure to me came off in the style of "Just another day in the office."I asked him if there was any extra measures of showing Tigger compassion through the process, and he told me sedating him before would make the experience for him the most tolerable. I write this compassionately, but I assure you, he was not. I informed him that I couldn't bare to be present.. He agreed and left to prepare. I said my good byes, told Tigger I loved him, and tried to comfort him. Dr. Koch came back in the room, grabbed Tigger and administered the sedative before my cat could protest. Before I had an opportunity to say anything. He said "This will make him fall asleep." This was after I told him I did NOT want to be present. Now I know it was just a sedative, but I was already emotionally distraught and couldn't handle process. I started sobbing and told my mother-in-law that I couldn't believe he had done that. After I had asked not to see it, and that it wasn't right.What happened next I could have never mentally prepared myself for. While the doctor was out of the room the medication caused nausea and my cat, who already had trouble breathing, began suffocating on his own vomit. My mother in law started screaming for someone, and moments later a tech came in the room. I was hysterical. This was supposed to help him, yet it was literally suffocating him, causing more stress, pain, and discomfort. My mother-in-law pleaded with me to leave the room, that I didn't need to see him pass away like that, because I didn't want to see it in the first place. I ran out of the vet in hysterics. The experience was horrific, for my cat, and myself. I will forever be traumatized. Dr. Koch should have considered that when a sedative was administered, it would complicate his already impaired ability to breath. He should have chosen a nausea free sedative. Never take your beloved animals to this clinic. Read Less
