We have brought our fur babies to Capital Vets for, well, don't know how long. The office staff and techs are wonderful; the vets,stellar. Prices are reasonable. Most importantly, the preventative, acute and emergency care provided to our furkids has been the best - better than any other vet experience we have ever had. Thank you!! Read Less

Looking for recommendations for a new vet, after taking our pets to Latham Animal Hospital for almost 2 decades, Pam called on our way down Friday morning after he was bitten and was told they only had two vets on and one was leaving early so they couldn't see him, stopped to get his immunization records to go elsewhere and 3 employees were sitting shooting the breeze with no one in the waiting room. Told them I was unhappy and they were totally unconcerned, if you can charge me large sums of money for regular care you should be there in an emergency, on the other hand, if you should have an emergency, upstate animal clinic on sparrowbush road is beyond great, took us right in and prices were more than reasonable, wish they did primary care.

Amazing vets. They are excellent, intuitive and logical diagnosticians. They will keep your pet healthy and spare you unnecessary testing and such. Everyone from the front desk to the vet techs are delightful and caring. Seen all sorts of vets over time. (Having worked in veterinarians' offices in NYC and having grown up on a farm.) This group knows their stuff and are top notch. Read Less

Have been visiting Catskill Animal hospital since Old Man Jenkins was DVM. Always professional and courteous, never hesitated with an emergency appointment. I highly recommend for those who consider their pets part of the family!!! Read Less

I would never recommend this vet to anyone.  The ladies behind the front desk are great, and there are a couple vet techs who do a great job but the actual veterinarians are awful.  I brought my dog in for an infection in his eye. Dr. Oliver came into the room and didn't even say hello to my dog, his patient.  He got right to testing.  His hands were very shaky and he had no actual answers to any of my questions. I told him I was concerned about a possible ear infection and they didn't even bother checking his ears.  They sent us home with eye medication for conjunctivitis and we were on our way.  Later that day, my dog couldn't walk.. so I emailed the vet and they had me bring him back in the same day.  Blood test for Lyme disease was done, came back positive, sent us on our way with new meds for that.  2 days later my dog went blind.  Back to the vet.  You can probably imagine how well that went.  Dr. Oliver performed the same exact test on my dogs eyes that he did the first visit. Said the same exact thing and had no answers.  Don't go here if you actually want answers.  The only 5 star review was written when the place had different owners.  There is no more love from the doctors in this practice.  Do NOT go.

I have dealt with this facility on several different occasions. One in particular, my former employee had a pit bull that had been exposed to and had gotten parvovirus from another dog. We called them late on a Saturday, not only did the doctor wait for us to bring the pup over, but also made a Sunday appt with us (actually 2 several hours apart if I recall correctly) because the pup needed IV med doses many times over the next few days if we wanted her to live. And they made a payment plan with my employee who worked at Hess and made $10 an hour. She obviously didn't have hundreds of dollars to throw around. If I recall correctly the total in the end was about 5-6 visits (including at least 3 weekends off hours) was less than $200. I then started using them for my own pets. So for the last review that I read where your animal was deathly ill and they turned you away..... I promise you honey, if they were able to help you, they definitely would have!! Read Less

While we have no complaints about the care provided to our multiple animals, we are upset about the cost now that Dave Jenkins sold the practice to a group based in the capital area.  Dr Jenkins was aware that the residents of Greene County are often of modest means and keep his prices as modest as possible so people would seek routine care for their pets. The prices now seemed to have tripled or at least doubled. Read Less

I have been my animals here for 16 years. These people feel like part of my family, after all my babies lives are in their hands. They have always been fantastic with me and my furbabies. There are new people now and so far so good. Keep up the great work. Read Less

This place was good before they were bought out. In my opinion they really concentrate on getting the bill as high as possible now. They don't seem to do a good job either. They will run a lot of tests that don't seem to really help them figure out what is wrong , but they will charge you a lot for them. Just for the visit they will hit you up for almost $100 then tests etc. Expect to pay between 200-300 for any sick animal. Urgent care is only 125 for people... so you do the math... I wanted to like them and continued to use them, but now I am moving on. If you can do the drive I recommend Copake Animal hospital. Read Less

We almost lost our 2 year old cat to a uti at another veterinary hospital. We brought him to Drumm. After 5 days he was home. On special food and feeling much better. The Vet Technicals at Drumm saved our cat. We have since transferred both are cats there and will not be going anywhere else. Oh and BTW Tanners hospital stay was 1/2 the cost of the other vet. Our cats vaccines and all other procedures are significantly less then the other vet as well Read Less

Back in March I brought my almost 10 year old mini poodle in to have a fatty mass on his side examined. It came back negative for any signs of cancer but I was still anxious to have it removed because of his age and placement. There were other things that needed done also, the vet advised me to get all the work done at one time, so he wouldnt have to go under anesthesia a second time (due to his age). We talked it over and set the date for June 10, 2015. On June 10, I took the day off of work to bring my dog in. I waited patiently for a good 30 minutes. Then the nurse came out to go over his paperwork for surgery. I mentioned the fatty mass again, along with teeth cleaning and some moles to be removed. A few minutes later the vet came out and said he had "forgotten" to do blood work so we couldn't do surgery today. As much as an inconvenience this was, due to me missing a day of work, I understood mistakes happened. We rescheduled for today, June 22. This morning my father was able to drop my dog off. When his surgery was done the vet called my father to let him know everything went well but he had started the surgery late, and then didn't have enough time to take the masses off. When my father told me about this conversation I immediately called the vet and left a message for him to call me back. While we spoke he told me that he was unaware that the masses were a priority, but then said he ran out of time. So due to poor time management my dog didn't get the main surgery I had asked for. I stated that we had talked about the masses, they were put on the paper work the first time the surgery was supposed to happen (then he couldn't do the surgery because he forgot to do blood work) and this morning when my father dropped him off, he again stated the information about the fatty masses. He then kept responding that there must have been some "miscommunication" between him and I. There wasn't. It was stated verbally to him and his nurse and written on his paperwork. I said that I was disheartened that this had happened. I reminded him of how he told me to get all this surgery done now due to his age. I told him I will not pay for him to be put under again because of his mistake. He said he had to talk to his superiors. I stated that I had no problem paying for the surgery but I refuse to pay for the anesthesia again because they messed up. He said he would talk to them and call me back. Around 3 this afternoon my father went back to pick my dog up. He arrived and asked to talk to the vet. The vet was rushing him and telling my father he had another patients and no time to talk. My father simply wanted to explain how upset he was with what was going on between me, my dog, and the vet. My father asked to have a bill written up stating we will not be responsible for the anesthesia next time, he went into his office and slammed his door. My father waited patiently and when the vet came back out with the paperwork he was in a more "approachable" mood. He handed him paperwork stating the anesthesia will be covered by them. I'm so thankful my dog is okay and seems to be in good, but sleepy spirits now. I'm so incredibly disappointed with the attitude I received from this vet, along with the attitude my father received in person picking my dog up. I'm solely going back to this vet to complete the surgery that was supposed to be completed today. After this, I will never bring my dog or any animal I care for back to this place. Read Less

I've been at Capital Vets, specifically Latham, for over 10 years, with cats, dogs, rabbits, and occasional resucues. I board my diabetic kitty when away and she gets amazing care from Meredith and the crew. Very happy with this crew! Read Less

This place has changed in the past couple years. I will not be bringing my animals back here. Called with a question about my cat. Receptionist was very rude and I don't think she even checked with the vet to see if my cat needed to be seen. Asked which cat I was calling about and when I asked what other cats I had listed (since the only other cat I took there was euthanized by them years ago) she said none. So confusing and couldn't stand how rude she was. The vets could be great but when you can't get past the front desk people will never know Read Less

I would like to start of by saying that I used to think highly of Catskill Animal Hospital when Dr. Jenkins was in charge, but sadly things have changed since his departure!! My 8 year old yellow lab went improperly diagnosed for nearly a month by Dr. Kirby of Catskill Animal Hospital, before we decided to take him elsewhere. He had a limp in his front left limb, a fever, and was starting to have a decreased appetite when we first made an appointment with Catskill Animal Hospital - he was determined to have a bacterial infection that was affecting his joints and prescribed antibiotics for a 10 day course. By the end of those ten days, his appetite was even more decreased and he suddenly began putting less weight on his left hind limb. He was brought back to Dr. Kirby and some bloodwork was done, and was prescribed another 10 day course of antibiotics - his bloodwork showed that he was slightly anemic and had an elevated white blood cell count, which Dr. Kirby said was likely because of his 'bacterial infection'. During this course of antibiotics, our dog continued to go downhill, and began losing his balance when walking and needed assistance getting up. His quality of life was diminishing as each day passed. After finishing this second round of meds, we contacted Dr. Kirby to explain that he was getting worse and still wouldn't eat much unless he was hand-fed pieces of food. Dr. Kirby offered a THIRD round of antibiotics and a painkiller WITHOUT even offering to see him. By this point our poor dog was suffering and antibiotics were not working - they only made him have to urinate more frequently and caused him to have diarrhea (this went away once he was done with the antibiotics), so we knew the antibiotics were useless for whatever was wrong with him and decided to make an appointment with a different vet to try to figure out what was causing him to be so ill. When we brought him to the new vet, we explained what was going on and they saw how bad he was so immediately brought him in for x-rays. They discovered he had cancer (which likely originated in a bone in his front left limb, hence the reason he had began limping in the first place.) and it had metastasized to his lungs, part of his stomach and to some of the muscle fibers in his left hind limb (which is why he later had difficulty bearing weight on the left hind limb as well and why the muscle started to feel like jello). We knew he was suffering and at this stage it was too late to have any real treatment options, so we made arrangements to have him put to sleep at home. Everyone we talked to was shocked that x-rays had not been done sooner, but Dr. Kirby never even suggested doing them. We are so angry that our poor boy had to suffer like this while cancer continued to spread throughout his body. While we understand that his type of cancer is aggressive and spreads rapidly (his cancer was probably already bad when he first began limping), we could have at least spared him the extra weeks of suffering had we known sooner. We could have focused on giving him better end-of-life care instead of giving him antibiotics that were totally inappropriate for the disease he had. We will never forget this awful experience - our dog deserved better care than what he received. We are thankful to the vet that finally discovered what was really wrong with our poor baby, even though not much could be done at that point. Read Less

Please don't take your animal here! They have been bought out by a larger 'company' and are charging very high prices, have little to no concern for your pet, over prescribe meds, I can go on and on. Our little kitty would be dead by now if we had listened to them. Took her to another vet and she is doing well, with just a mild antibiotic!          "Oh you need to have more tests done, her kidneys are failing....Blah blah blah"  Nothing is wrong with her kidneys you greedy heartless people.  My neighbor just called distraught because for an exam and blood tests it was over $200.00! Like the reviewer before me, I don't like to have to write reviews like this, but I wish someone had warned me!. They had a tech call with blood results (visit was over $200.)...she had no idea what to say, gave no answers to my questions, just suggested more testing.  Stay Away if you love your pet! They never follow up either. Read Less

I am now raising my 7th cat and would not consider going to any other veterinary location. The office staff is considerate, the techs are efficient and the doctors are compassionate and knowledgeable. There are four locations so if you need veterinary assistance there's probably an office near you. Read Less

I WISH that I could give this vet ZERO stars.  We are in town for the weekend with our dog and accidentally left his diabetic dog food at home.  We called Catskill Animal Hospital because the Hill's dog food site says that they carry the special Diabetic W/D Dog food that we need for our DIABETIC dog.  Knowing that not feeding a diabetic dog could drastically change its blood sugar, the Vet told us that we would have to come in for an appointment before they would give us a bag of food....and the earliest open appointment is for 3:30!! 3:30 in the afternoon after our dog has not been able to eat his normal food in the morning which needs to be regulated.  Needless to say, we had to take the afternoon appointment, which will cost a lot of money, just so we could get some Diabetic food to our Diabetic dog.

My guess would be that the last review was written by their competition! Catskill animal hospital is FANTASTIC! they're extremely friendly and courteous and the veterinarians are wonderful and actually take the time necessary to explain what's going on and how to treat the diagnosis of pets! Thanks for the years and years of great service to my furry family members! Read Less

I love this Vet. The doctors are very friendly and know A LOT, and always help me with advice on products. The receptionists are friendly too. Not a rip off either which I love. This vet sits on top of a hill and there's not a lot of parking, and the waiting room is small, but the office (at least whenever I went) was never full. Read Less
