Kitty’s Doctor

* Call around for pricing before going here.
Brought my cat in because he was not eating. Staff was very nice. Expected that they would want to do a blood test but did not expect it would cost $ 300. I was not happy when I called around after– other vets gasped when I told them the price. $ 150 ish was the highest quote. Tests came back negative and vet said «maybe» it could be a tooth ache and a dental cleaning would be $ 800!!! Total price to test and do a tooth cleaning on a cat, $ 1100! (when I left they gave me a plastic lid for cat food and the lady smiled and said «no charge». Woot woot. I would also expect a high dollar vet to actually meet and talk to you during your consultation– they send in a teenage vet student to diagnose the cat and maybe the vet will pop her head in.
Called around again and teeth cleaning ranged between $ 139 and $ 380 for the works with an EKG at other vets. When I asked the vet why their prices were so high, she told me to GO SOMEWHERE ELSE if I didn’t like it! I don’t mind paying for good medical care for my pets, but this place is ridiculous.
*Update* took my cat to Harper Woods Veterinary. Cost: Full exam (vet talked to me for ½ hour or so), full immunizations, Lent me a free cat carrier, Dental cleaning, 2 tooth extractions, anetesia, bottle of liquid antibiotics, 2 cans of special cat food and called the following day to see how he was doing= $ 274 Brought him home and he went right to the dry food and ate.

I have gone to Kitty’s Doctor for as long as I have had cats, a loyalty that was earned. A friendly environment filled with employees who are both skilled and pleasant to be around. They are very professional, while never losing a familiarity that helps you feel safe putting your animals in their hands.
From big things like wonderful care and prompt service, to small things like putting your pet’s picture on the bill, they do everything right. Including a willingness to go above and beyond. I cannot tell you how many times they have been willing to answer questions over the phone, without compensaton.
And these are stupid questions, too. The sort of questions that only a over-​worried, confused pet-​owner would ask. And when it comes down to it, a place that makes me feel comfortable asking as many stupid questions as I need to calm down has my loyalty anyday.
