Been coming here since our baby girl was a puppy..love her to death and when she developed a rash on her hind legs immediately took her in to get checked on..was told it was allergys..got her meds along with her 6 months of flee and tick meds..my jaw about dropped when the total was 482$ Went home and did a little research of cost of meds..the flee and tick meds cost 80$ online and was charged 160$ the other meds were a total of 50$ online..Sorta felt like when I take my truck to a shady mechanic!We are responsible pet owners and always wonder why some dogs go neglected..understand a business needs to make money but a 200% profit on meds? Not many people I know can afford to be as responsible as they should be Read Less

New to the area and looking for a vet to take care of our two dogs we found KVH. Getting their new patient appointments was easy and the receptionist were very knowledgeable. They requested our dogs medical records from our previous vet prior to our visit which was very helpful. One week later we needed to kennel our dogs while we traveled and we boarded them with KVH. Our dogs LOVED their time at KVH and the staff were wonderful going above and beyond taking care of our babies. This veterinary clinic has a great and affordable health plan, it is super clean, friendly and the doctor's are great! I can't recommend Kitsap Veterinary Hospital enough. Read Less

Extremely friendly and caring staff! We took our elderly dog in because he had developed a cough and wasn't acting like his normal self. From the moment we arrived we were treated very kindly and all of our concerns were addressed. I would highly recommend Kitsap Veterinary Hospital to anyone who is serious about the care and well being of their pet(s). Read Less

WARNING ABOUT THIS PLACE Took dog in for an abscess on leg looking to find out if it was infected. After testing came back that it was not infected vet proceeded to recommend a $1200 surgery to remove the "dead, rotting flesh" around the wound. (note, the dog was happily running and playing all day) They pressured me to leave him for the surgery that same night warning "I've seen this lead to amputation of leg." At home I put warm cloth on him and the "dead rotten flesh" miraculously wiped away. It was dirt!! They tried to scare me into $1200 surgery over dirt! When they called to follow up and I told them what they'd done they just cheerily said "Oh I'm glad it's better." If they recommend something pricey here GET A SECOND OPINION. Read Less

Kitsap Veterinary Hospital has been my go-to place for my animal companions and working animals for over a decade. They're kind, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile to be sure their patients are well cared for. Since most of my pets are hairless, they require special care, and KVH never fails to provide those special touches. Warm blankets, extra padding in kennels for overnight surgery recovery, and gentle warm hands for exams all make my critters feel safe and loved. Thanks, guys! Read Less

The service here is good. I especially like Dr. Hoover. She is very informative and I feel like she takes time with you when you take your pet it. I didn't feel like just another patient. The technicians are are great too. They are professional and helpful. The only thing I don't like is that the wait is usually kind of long and every time when they are checking me or anyone else in they ask if we have pet insurance, I wish they could write it down or something...

Took our family dog to get cremated and some asshole gave the A-okay to toss her ashes. The incredible amount of carelessness displayed by their employees to allow this to happen is frightening. I wouldn't recommend anyone take their animals here. They can't keep track of dead animals, I can only imagine what they do with the ones that's are still alive. They tell me I can go visit the remains in a mass burial site in Kent? I'm so disgusted by the outcome of this whole situation. Someone loses my family member, someone needs to lose their job.... Read Less

After taking my dog here for years, I actually thought they cared for her. Once she passed it was different. $219 to make sure her ashes came home (7 days) so we could celebrate her life when our family could all be together. We called when this date was past to ask "where is she??" I was told I had called to change this to a "communal" cremation. WHAT??? Who the hell said that??? NOT ME AND WHY DIDNT YOU CONTACT ME TO VERIFY ANYTHING???? I want to know how you did this. How do you justify letting me and my family relive her death all over again know we will never have her home again. I am so sorry I allowed myself to trust you with my best friend. Damn you all...

My dog, my family member since I was five years old. We took her here to be cremated after she passed away. They got her mixed up with another dog. They threw her ashes in a landfill and we will never have her remains to visit her, reminisce, or even properly grieve. We were supposed to get her back in an urn. They've offered to refund our payment (woo-hoo?). So $200-something dollars is all we have to remember our cherished family member. I would strongly recommend never entrusting the well-being of your animals in this reckless BUSINESS. You lost a CUSTOMER, we, no YOU, LOST our family member FOREVER. - R.I.P. Mieka Read Less

I had two of my fur babies in for check-ups yesterday. We always receive the best care from them, and my dog Gizmo thinks the staff is his other family. They know him by name and always welcome him. We have had some scary health issues with a couple of my dogs, and it is only because of the care given by these amazing Doctors and their assistants that two of my dogs are even still with me. One has severe epilepsy, and one had a broken leg that was and open fracture dangling in the air. They are good about consulting specialists and referring us out when indicated. I consider this staff family, and my dogs consider them part of their pack. Read Less

We came in today by referral from Leah after I told her how anxious our sweet Marty can be at a vet or around a group of people. We took him to a vet prior that completely left us on edge and not wanting to take him in unless something was truly wrong ... But knew we had to for his overall health. We were extremely nervous and didn't think we would accomplish anything. We left with exact opposite feelings after our visit! The techs and dr were amazing and had Marty literally eating out of their hands and getting belly rubs! (Okay he's a food and belly rub lover!) he was much more relaxed and calm for the visit than I thought he would be and we accomplished a great deal by seeing what level of care he may need and how we can make it easier for him. He's such a love and loves people and did so well today - thank you SO much to the whole staff for helping making him feel at ease and us as well! We are looking forward to our next appt! You are all wonderful! Marty loves it there!Read Less

I absolutely love this hospital. Everyone is so nice and my cat Violet has taken a liking to the veterinarian and assistants. I love how they have always worked with my budget and have helped me prioritize everything Violet has needed. I now have adopted 2 new kittens and plan on staying with this veterinarian. I am more than impressed with how professional, experienced, and friendly everyone Is here. :) Thank you Kitsap Veterinary Hospital Read Less

So my dog, Diana, has been going here since she was a puppy. Diana deals with anxiety. Please keep in mind that she has NEVER bit anyone or anything. She is a sweetheart.About a month ago she had an appointment for some shots. Dr. Buck came in the room, she addressed the issue of the anxiety and I told her that I had actually been taking Diana to socialization classes and it was improving a little bit. Before the assistant came in the room, the vet told the assistant to not give Diana long eye contact. Of course, the assistant doesn't listen and Diana then barks a couple times at her. The vet then suggests that we reschedule while she's on some calming meds because she didn't want to undo any of the socialization classes Diana had been too. I agreed and left.Today I come back, with Diana on the meds. (note: they CHOSE to give her the minimal amount). We get in one of the back rooms and one of the assistants starts talking to us making sure everything is okay, ya know the normal questions. She eventually gets the shots ready and comes in the room, sets them on the counter, and leaves. This was supposed to be somewhat of a quick visit? I was sitting there and I wasn't sure why I was waiting for so long.. Eventually the assistant comes back into the room, saying that Dr. Buck said that the last time Diana and I had been there, Diana TRIED TO BITE AND ATTACK her and the first assistant. I was like, "um... I'm pretty sure the assistant was staring Diana in the eyes and Diana barked. Not sure why they said that." Then the assistant goes, "well Dr. Buck doesn't want to come in here and have Diana bite her. We can take her outside and put a muzzle on her?" She then went on to say how my dog was showing signs of aggression when Diana was literally laying down beside me drugged up. I was so furious I just asked to leave and reschedule. As I was leaving another dog was in the way. I didn't want Diana to bark at it so I just took a quick turn into their bathroom. As I sat in the bathroom, waiting to get out and leave, one of the workers went "sorry you have to deal with a crazy dogggg, you're not like thatttt." I was so furious they had the audacity to talk like that about a customer behind closed doors. Part of me doesn't even know if I should believe that they are partially treating her this way because she is a German Shepherd Dog. So, let's make something clear, Why in gods name did you become a vet if you don't want to deal with animals who are sometimes anxious and make up bullshit lying excuses and stories to get out of easy situations.Why in the hell would you, dear staff, gossip and talk about customers like that behind closed doors. It's unacceptable and immature behavior. The bottom line, ALL DOGS CAN SHOW AGGRESSION AND ALL DOGS CAN BITE IF THEY WANT TO OR ARE PROVOKED. ALL OF THEM! Also, just because a dog barks at you literally less than 3 times, it does NOT mean that they are "attacking" you. They're talking! Quit picking and choosing and labeling certain dogs as "good" and the others as "bad." Aside from this they are WAY overpriced. We will definitely never come back. Read Less

I would give it no stars if that was an option.  My usual vet, Minter Veterinarian Hospital, could not see my pet who was attacked by another dog day same day, so I went to Kitsap Veterinary Hospital because they had an opening.  They kept me waiting 40 minutes past my appt. time.  When I was told an assistant was getting my room ready for my pet's exam, another regular in the lobby said "that doesn't mean anything."  I noticed they had more products for sale than any other vet I have every seen.  I noticed the receptionist promoting some sort of cat calming product in the lobby.While the vet was examining my dog, and withing the first 20 seconds, the vet started promoting a flea/tick/heart worm product called Trifexis.  "I have talked to vets all over the country and they say the topical products just aren't working anymore. We recommend Trifexis."  My dogs wounds being very superficial, the vet looked at her teeth.  2 weeks prior my dog had been seen by Minter Veterinarian Hospital (Dr. Jeffry Irwin) who told me the dog had 2 broken off teeth, but they were not abscessed and did not need to be removed at this time.  The vet at Kitsap Vet Hosp. told me they were abscessed (she showed me the area and it looked just fine to me) and were likely causing her pain (she has been chewing on rawhides in those spots like crazy, so I don't think so!).  She recommended surgery on the 2 teeth to remove them.  And of course she would need to do x-rays, she might as well clean the teeth as long as she is under anesthesia, and, of course, she would need to do blood work before surgery, so we might as well do that today.  Then she left the room for the up sale that the poor medical assistant's job is to do.  I was then presented with a "Comprehensive Yearly Maintenance dog plan" to cover 2 wellness exams plus 2 additional visits, core vaccinations recommended, intestinal parasite fecal exam, deworming for roundworms, hookworms & whipworms, heartworm test, blood cell count, internal organ functioning screen with collection/interpretation fees, thyroid screen, urinalysis with cystocentesis, comprehensive oral treating for $983.40 with a 1 time membership fee of $49.95.  This isn't even my regular vet!  Next I was presented with an estimate of $297.81 for Trifexis.  Like I have ever spent anywhere NEAR that on flea protection for a pet!  Then I was presented with a tooth removal estimate of $2,016.86, and of course we need to do the blood work before I leave the clinic today of $229.35.  I took the papers and went to the front desk to check out.  I said I intend to pay for today's services only.  At that point the medical assistant came to the front desk and asked if I was ready to do the blood work.  I said no.  Just in case the Kitsap vet was correct that the teeth were abscessed, I then had to spent another vet fee at my regular vet in the next couple of days to find out whether or not they were abscessed.  Dr. Irwin at Minter said they were not abscessed.  Thanks Kitsap Vet Hosp. for the lie, the additional vet bill you caused me to have to incur, and the attempt at getting $3,577.37 out of a client who isn't even a regular client all on the first visit to your clinic!  You will never see another dime from me again.  STAY AWAY FROM THIS VET!  THEIR GOAL IS TO EMPTY YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!  I AM DEEPLY DISGUSTED!

Kitsap vet hospital rocks. From the office girls, thanks Susan and Amanda, to the vet techs to the vets. Dr Buck is awesome. They take such loving care of my little Andy and keep him healthy and happy for a 12 year old. If you need a vet that loves your " kids" as much as you do go to Kitsap vet in Port Orchard. You will love them too. Read Less

Our sweet dog of 10 years was very sick and we brought her here for treatment and to try to do what we could. Dr. Lock and her team were so sweet and caring I couldn't ask for better experience. Thank you for being amazing. We will always bring our animals here in the future... such a wonderful office. Read Less

I wish we had looked at the yelp reviews and not just the google reviews before taking one of our dogs here. For starters their office visit charge is higher than we have ever had at other vets. After two visits that included a biopsy and bloodwork we were charged over $300. Then we received our surgical estimate for a simple removal of the benign growth, $1600. Wow. And don't even think to tell them you can't afford an outrageously high price, they will try to push a credit card on you instead of charging a reasonable price for their non spectacular services. Will NEVER return. I will drive over 1000 miles before stepping foot in this establishment in the future. Read Less

My dog goes to Dr. Locke. She has been a wonderful vet and is very understanding of my dogs individual needs. The staff is wonderful as well. Her diagnosis is always correct and treated properly. It's a bit pricey but it has been worth it.Read Less

First off this place is over priced like most of the veterinary hospitals in Port Orchard. They are friendly but fail to mention if you miss 3 visits you have to pay 55 dollars. Don't we pay enough? Seconds they make you wait for hours for your appointment.Read Less

My experience at Kitsap Vet Hospital was excellent. My dog, Rosie, always receives superb care at Kitsap Vet. Everyone there cares about Rosie's well being. Dr. Hoover is fantastic. She takes the time to answer all of my questions and explains everything thoroughly. We came from another vet office and there is no comparison in the level and quality of care. Rosie receives excellent care at Kitsap Vet Hospital. We would never go anywhere else! Read Less

I was very pleased with everyone at Kitsap Veterinary Hospital. I felt I received excellent client service and my dog was given superb care. The office was clean and the staff very attentive and friendly. The Vet was terrific. She had reviewed all of Peggy Sue's past medical records and communicated her current exam results clearly and concisely. Not only was she sensitive to my dog's needs when designing Peggy Sue's treatment plan but also to the financial realities of my costs in providing that care. I was concerned about finding a good vet when I moved here. I am elated at finding what I consider one of the best.Read Less

My husband and I recently moved to WA and after some very bad luck with our babies (fur-babies) we needed a vet ASAP.   The vet that we originally got referred to did not have any openings that day, so we were forced to go here. Terrible mistake.Like all the other reviews, I wish I had gone on here first and read them... DO NOT GO HERE!  Spare yourself!Our dog had a leg injury - we were quoted $340 when we walked into the lobby.  This was fine by us and was what we had been quoted at other places.  Then they had said they wanted to do a couple more things - then the bill went to $670 - but they did NOT stop there.  After trying to make my dog go through lots of unnecessary procedures and trying to force me to take things for her (she had a scrape the size of my pinky nail on her knee - they wanted to give her antibodies for it!!!!! Which cost $80...).  They took her back while we waited - she came back no better and with a $1200 bill!!!!!!!$1200!  I was quoted $340.  They made me pay because they had already done it to her and would not give her back unless I paid the bill.End of the story?  We ended up taking her to a different vet and paying $400 to fix the damage. ... Don't go here unless you like burning money... or you could just burn your money and stay warm - at least it would be useful then. Read Less

As far as compassion, thoughtfulness, and care - we couldn't have asked for more from Dr. Buck and her assistant. They came to our home to send our very loved 16 year old Dachshund Max off to puppy heaven. The care and attention to making him comfortable during this difficult time was so appreciated and we are truly thankful. Read Less

We called to bring our dog in for an ear infection we got an appointment. We then proceeded to wait for 30 min to be seen. Then when the vet finally came she looked at her ear then proceeded to take samples of skin that was a little red on her stomach that our dog has had her whole life. They didn't ask if we wanted to have the skin tested. They came back in with the estimated cost of treatment telling us we needed all these different things that added up to $675. We told them all we wanted was to get her ear treated not anything else, she didn't have anything else to be treated. I asked for the bare minimum for what she needed to have done for the ear and it was still $475. Just for a shot, ointment, and a medication. But the catch was we couldn't have the shot unless they did blood lab on top of everything. We decided to take her somewhere else. But for the two swabs they took one from her ear and the other of the skin ( that they never asked if we wanted it treated) we still had to pay $122 just for her to be seen!!! Needless to say we will drive the 30 min to Bangor base vet for her to be seen. This place is rip off and always try to get us to get more done then we ask.Read Less

We have been coming to KVH for 10 years now and we love them. They are not only wonderful with our pets but also very compassionate with owners as well. I recently had an emergency with my 14 year old cat, Oscar, and had to put him to sleep. I was a basket case! They were so kind and caring to my sweet boy and his upset mama.... I will never forget that kindness. Yes, they are a little more spendy than other vets, but the level and quality of care that you receive is worth it. We see Dr. Lock and she has never pressured us into doing something we couldn't afford. Read Less

My post is no different then the other low ratings, Over charged for a service and tests I did not ask for!!! Really did they need to clean my dogs ears and then test the wax??? All for the shock value OMG my dogs ears are dirty!!!I had no problem paying for a visit and a estimate for surgery, the office visit was supposed to be like $50.00 I walked out with a $280.00 bill and a estimate for surgery  at $1000.00, after I told them this was an outrage they called back and said they could do it for $800... After waiting a month to get my money together I called and said I would like to schedule the surgery they wanted to screw my again for another office visit. I spoke to another business nearby and they said this was common for KVH, they are forcing the dog owners in Port Orchard to extremes like posting on Yelp. Read Less

I recently moved to this area and decided to give Kitsap Vet Hospital a try without reading the reviews. My mistake. Over the phone, my first visit estimate seemed reasonable...at least in line with what the vets in my hometown used to charge me. However, once I got to the clinic, I got bombarded with tests and medications that are in my dog's "best interest". I've never heard of a clinic performing urinalysis and blood collection on same day for same evaluative purposes. But as you can imagine, it was on my estimate sheet. What else was on my estimate sheet? Oh, shampoo, conditioner, and medications at 250% of the market value. I declined from the urinalysis and the skincare products. The vet didn't seem all that happy and tried to persuade me to accept everything on the plan of care. When I didn't budge, she went back and talked to the vet assistant about adding OTHER medications to my list. Now, I know you're running a business but please don't try to pad my bill. Her exact words? "Well, she's not doing the urinalysis..." So since I am not doing a useless test, you can push more useless items on me? Great. Long story short, I paid nearly $500 for a 35 minute visit. Not a single one of my dog's symptoms was alleviated regardless of all the medications and the shampoos and the conditioners. I might've as well flushed that money down the toilet. Same result. I am beginning to think my dog wasn't even diagnosed properly which wouldn't surprise me since the vet took all but a couple of minutes to evaluate the lab results. Last thing, the office called me a couple of times to "ask me how [my] dog is doing" and remind me to come in and have more evaluations and get more medications. When I finally told them that I am broke, the phone calls magically stopped and I haven't heard from them since. Thank goodness. Overall, I am obviously disappointed. The vet techs are great and incredibly professional but the vet I worked with...yeah, I am NOT coming back. Read Less

Since I haven't actually seen the vet here, i dont feel right giving it five stars. However, the receptionists who gave me over the counter flea medication and started a file for my cat were VERY helpful and friendly. I will absolutely be going back when it's time for her next check-up. Read Less

This is the most expensive vet I've ever encountered. I've never left with a bill under $150, even for the most basic visits. The last vaccination I gave my dog didn't even work, and she now has kennel cough. Find another vet who cares more about animals than cash. Read Less

I took my dog in for an abcess tooth and typical Vet they wanted to run unneccessary test, etc. After refusing the uranalysis (nothing to do with dental) we paid $250 just for an exam, standard blood test, and antibotics. Total rip-off.Next came the estimate for the tooth pulling. OMG. Quote started at $500 and went up to almost $900. Needless to say I called around and found a Vet - Bremerton Vet Hospital and had the same procedure done for $187 out the door. I think you can draw your own conclusions... Read Less
