Kittel Family Veterinary Practice

Honestly, I love and appreciate this vet. They handle my cat, bunny, and dog here perfectly fine. They also give great information. They care about their animals. Recently, my boyfriend and I had to take our dog to another vet, but they were just terrible and that is when I really do appreciate Kittel for what the staff and Dr. Kittel do for my pet children. Thank you guys for being am awesome vet to all of the pets you helped

My cat had gained weight and I was advised to put her on prescription metabolic diet; I was also told I should brush her teeth daily if possible. What I liked about Kittnel is that they remind me to come in every 30 days to check on my cat’s weight at no charge and they assisted me in finding a good toothbrush to brush her teeth. They also gave me a measuring cup to assist in accurately measuring her food to help in her weight loss. They are friendly and helpful.

Dr. Kittel is awesome! He saw my cat a couple times for a large abscess on his face. He was really gentle and took good care of our cat. The bill was reasonable and his staff was really nice as well.

I have been taking my dogs to Kittel Family Vet for nearly 5 years now. Hands down, an awesome group of people.
What I appreciate the most about Dr. Kittel is his utmost honesty and attentiveness to our pets. We have had 4 pitbulls, each needing routine and sometimes specialized care. Dr. Kittel is so respectful and knows each dogs personality and health so well. The entire staff is very helpful and provide us with the best care for our dogs.
They are also always partnering up with the city and giving back to the community, which is truly amazing in my book. Dr. Kittel is extremely knowledgable, and most importantly honest, which is very worthy of 5+ stars. Thank you for all of the care that you’ve provided our pets.

Thank you Dr. Plagman for having the compassion and dignity to tell me where to go and giving me the referral to UC Davis, you are my lifeline. We’ve been going to VCA (Greenhaven, Elk Grove, and Bradshaw). They let us down and left us with a very large bill. Charleen, thank you for getting me into UC Davis. You guys are the best! Thank you.

They are so amazing! My dog is pretty nervous in general and Dr. Kittel literally did the appointment while sitting on the floor with us because my dog wasn’t sitting still. Everyone is always so nice and helpful and truly care! Absolutely love this place.

Staff are very friendly. Dr. Kittle is very nice and professional. I never felt that I was pressured into any medical treatment or services that I didn’t want for my pet like at other vets. They give you an invoice list of the recommended shots/​treatment/​meds with estimated costs… And it’s ok to not want all of them or save the other treatments for next time. Never felt like they just wanted my $. If you are short on time, you can drop off your pet for the Dr. to see in between patients and pick up later with an additional fee of $ 10 (I think), and the Dr. Kittle will call you for an update. Overall I am very pleased with my visits. Have brought all 3 my pets here.

Dr Dan, Charlene & the rest of the staff are wonderful, we can not say enough about the care provided for our baby Misty thank you thank you

I called in to arrange for mobile vet services for euthanasia. Please don’t waste your time if you live more than 5 miles from their address. I KID YOU NOT, I mapped it and I was 5.1 miles away and they refused to help me. I understand they saw 5 miles. But whats an extra .1 miles to help a sick animal in pain?

Kittel is a place I feel comfortable that my dog is getting the best care from people who care. I never feel like I’m being «sold» extra services and products like at other places, and I trust what advice and treatment they are providing. I’ve already recommended another friend to Kittel, and will continue to if anyone is looking for a great vet that you can trust.

I highly recommend this practice. The doctor is intelligent, extremely warm/​caring and provides excellent care. He helped us during a period when one of our pet’s health was declining. The vet techs and front desk staff are exceptional, as well.

Love this place. They take such good care of our boys, Buster and Jake. I love that they always, and I mean ALWAYS call the next day, regardless of what they were seen for just to make sure they are okay. Buster had TPLO surgery today. While it’s hard to see him like he is right now, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to have performed this surgery, but their team.

I moved to Elk Grove several months ago and my dog Buddy was having a hard time with cronic ear infections and allergy’s. I took him to see Dr. Kittel and they were great, the entire staff was friendly and Buddy was thoroughly checked out and given medication. After a few months the medicine stopped working for Buddy and his constant itching was back, Dr. Kittel didn’t mess around, he gave me options and suggested I take Buddy to see a specialist. What a life saver for Buddy, he is a new dog after seeing the specialist. I’m grateful Dr. Kittel knew when it was time to send Buddy to the specialist. I’ve also taken Buddy to Dr. Kittel for his teeth cleaning which was badly needed, their prices were the most reasonable I found. Buddy was a stray dog on the streets with many health issues when I found him a year ago. Dr. Kittel has helped me give Buddy a much better life.

My little baby had some discharge from anal area and smell was bad. I took him to Animal Care Center. The Vet was cheating and told my dog either has tumor or infection in gland. He wanted to put my dog in anesthesia and cost $ 550. I do not believe him and took my dog to Dr. Kittle. They empty dog’s gland and only charge $ 16.9 (compare with $ 550). My dog is perfect now. Also his staff called me after then and check how is going my dog. It is a very nice place and the staff are very nice. Definitely I will choose this place for my dog because I can trust them.

We took our dog in to get neutered. Dr. Kittel and his staff assessed our dog’s needs and examined him, before they took him back for his operation later that day. Dr. Kittel explained what would be done, and he answered all of our questions, and our dog is healing really well. It’s 3 days later, and he’s as playful as ever. We want to take our other pet in for an examination. This vet has definitely gained our trust. They have clean facilities, a professional staff, and the Dr. seems to have a passion for what he does. Thanks Dr. Kittel! We’ll be back! =)

I brought my recently adopted geriatric chihuahua to get a combo neuter/​teeth extraction done. They did a great job. My little man was welcomed in early in the morning and then I picked him up again that evening. They provided great instructions on how to care for him after the surgery. We hardly noticed his stitches at all! He made an excellent recovery with no complications despite his age! Thanks Dr. Kittel and staff!

When it comes to providing the best care for your pets, Kittel Family Veterinary Practice (KFVP) is the place to bring them. Right from the start, you feel welcomed by the cleanliness of the facility and genuine greetings from staff. Having 2 dogs/​fur babies of our own, each of them have different personalities and different needs. I have been in many times for problems/​concerns that have arisen and not a step is missed with providing the best care to each of them on an individual basis.
Something I can appreciate from staff is the extra time to answer questions and follow up phone calls after every visit, even if they were just seen for anal gland expressions and a nail trim, it truly shows how this veterinary practice cares for their clients. Our babies are family and because I want to be comfortable knowing they are in good hands, I will continue to take them to KFVP and refer others to them as well. They are truly a «5 STAR» veterinary practice! Thank you to Dr. Dan and Charleen Kittel along with each and every staff member for all your passion and hard work with our babies Mishie and Raider.

Adopted my pup from Kritter Kamp Rescue and they offered a free initial check up here! This place is AMAZING!!!
First impressions of the facility were that it was spotless! If I hadn’t known it was a vet clinic, I wouldn’t have guessed they see animals there! The scale was tucked away behind a wall and exam rooms were off to the side. The place was rid of dog/​cat hair!
Dan (as he introduced himself) was the vet who saw my new pup, Printz. I was concerned that my new pup wasn’t eating, drinking, peeing or pooping like he normally should. I contributed this to spending his whole 3 year life in the shelter and after being adopted, it was a culture shock to him. Dan addressed all my concerns, ordered all the necessary tests and provided me with all the meds/​food that were prescribed in my pup’s care plan.
Dan was completely thorough and professional! I was even surprised that HE was the one to call me about my pup’s lab work and what to follow up on! Dan takes the time to listen to you and your concerns and doesn’t make you feel like he’s rushing you out the door! I spent an hour and a half at this clinic and didn’t even realize it until I left!
5 stars well worth it!!!

WOW! PHENOMENAL SERVICE HERE! This place is clean! Has great open working hours, if your like me and work the typical 9 – 5 schedule! Open Saturdays! Dr. Kittel was knowledgeable, friendly and patient! (We had a ton of questions! Fees were very reasonable as well! Thank you for taking care of our ginger today!

I had a good experience at Kittle! My friend Allison recommended this vet, they were having a vaccine clinic which was the main reason I booked an appointment. Free exam with purchase of vaccines. The staff was very friendly, waiting area is small, the exam room I was in was very clean. I would recommend others to come here based on the good experience I had today.
The doctor is very kind and friendly, he takes his time with you and your pet he seems to know his stuff.
Another thing I liked is they don’t try and force any kind of treatment or medications on you for your pet
