Kingsburg Veterinary Clinic

I’ve been going to this veterinary clinic for the past few years and every time it’s been a wonderful experience. This clinic is a half hour drive from me, but I honestly don’t care. The drive doesn’t mean anything as long as I go feeling as if they’ve listened to my concerns and done everything they could for my cat.
Let me backtrack to the first reason I came here. My cat is getting older, I’ve had her since she was a kitten and I was in 7^th grade. She’s about 15 years old now. As with all old animals, health issues are starting to occur. A few years ago I noticed she had a growth on her paw that she was biting at. She’d gotten it infected, and I was worried because she wouldn’t stop messing with it. I was told to drive to a place that I won’t mention, they were supposedly really great. I took her there; they were dismissive toward me and as soon as I mentioned I didn’t have the money for surgery just yet (payday was two weeks away) they stopped the appointment and told me they could do nothing for me. What? Not even antibiotics? A cone? Something to help manage it so she doesn’t make it worse? Nope. Nothing. You don’t want to feel dismissed about your baby being uncomfortable/​in pain.
I text someone and they said to go to here. Oh my goodness, it was a whole new world. They were kind with me, open, we discussed all options for the future, depending on what it could be. They booked me for surgery in two weeks (after I mentioned that’s when I could afford it, instead of just throwing me out on my butt!) and gave me medication to manage the infection and tips on changing from litter to the paper pellets, etc.
Every return trip has been the same way, and I’ve had a different veterinarian each time. In fact, I think I’ve been seen by every veterinarian that works here. Each time I return I’m listened to when I talk about what I’ve seen with her and what has/hasn’t worked in the past. Each veterinarian has handled my girl very kindly, often giving her scratches and letting her know what a good girl she’s being :)
Additionally, aside from the wonderful care, I love how easy it is to get an appointment. Most of the time my appointments have been last minute and they’re always able to get me in that day.
This is a wonderful clinic and I’m so happy I came here all that time ago, because I’ll never take any pet I have to another clinic.

Dr Laney is amazing. She is so sweet and patient and caring. This was my first visit and she made me feel like she really cares about my dog and listened to all of my concerns. They are inexpensive and well worth the $$ they do charge.
The only negative is the small waiting area. My dog doesn’t like other large dogs and I didn’t feel I had a place to go to stay separated from the other dogs.
After living in the valley for a year we have found our new vet home for our 7 yr old dog and two 4 yr old cats.

I added a star today based on the fact that this Veterinary office made an effort to resolve the issues I have had with them. I received an apology and a credit to my account, as well as a promise to educate the other employees on this failure and attempt to prevent its reoccurrence. Thank you.

The care and compassion shown by the staff and Dr Steve are Top-​Notch! Well worth the drive from Clovis, or other Central Valley towns!

TL;DR: Vet’s office is the best around. Used it forever for almost everything. Usually a wait, only because it’s well trusted by people from miles around.
I have lived in Kingsburg my entire life and we’ve only used this Veterinarian’s office and have been pleased with every single visit.
I live in the country and occasionally we will have a walk-​on animal. My family and I have taken dozens of animals to this office– dogs getting hit by a car, shots for kittens, spay/​neutering you name it– and, I will admit, there is a wait most of time, only because this vet’s office is one of the best in a wide vicinity.
Make sure to put your animal in a cage– I think that helps them out a bit. Don’t take their speediness as rudeness; the office is usually very busy. If the animal is very injured, keep it in the car and they will bring a stretcher out to you and help with the transport.

Incredibly helpful and caring staff make you feel like family.

I’ve lived up and down the Coast, and this is by far my favorite Vet clinic. I’ve been taking ALL, and yes I mean ALL (Cats, horses, dogs, etc) to this clinic since I was a child, and they’ve always been thorough, respectful and caring of your pets needs. When I lived in San Diego, my dog broke 2 of his front teeth at the dog park (He’s a big, clumsy boy) and I put him in the car for the 6 hour haul up to Kingsburg so he could be seen by vets that cared. They took great care of my boy, pulled both of his teeth, put him on some antibiotics and I walked out of there without having to take our a personal loan… Which, I would have had to if I took him to ANY VET in SD lol. Years ago, they came to my home to take care of my horse who had gotten out (opened her own gate) and got hit by a car! Took great care of her, and she’s foaled 3 times since then :) Can’t say enough good things about them.

Oh. My. Gosh. I am so impressed with this clinic. Here’s the story:
I took my chi in to my usual Visalia vet and got a very high estimate for a teeth cleaning. I know teeth cleanings are expensive because I’ve had it done before, but I thought the estimate was too high and it was definitely more than I could afford. I was also charged for an office visit to get the estimate.
I decided to take my dog to Kingsburg Veterinary Clinic because my neighbor’s puppy came down with parvo a while back and Kingsburg vet got him through it AND they kept the bill down. I made the appointment and explained that I needed to get an estimate prior to the procedure to make sure I could afford it. I met with Misti, a vet tech, the morning of the appointment and she took her time to check out my dog’s mouth and explain all of the possible expenses. I decided that I trusted her to only charge me for things were necessary. She was very compassionate and I felt confident that she would take good care of my baby.
I called in a few hours later to check on how my dog was doing and Misti got on the phone with me and told me that my dog was already waking up and the procedure went really well. When it came time for the bill, Kingsburg charged me LESS THAN HALF of what my normal Visalia vet was going to charge! I saved $ 250-​$ 350! The best part is that even though I was saving a ton of money, I never felt like I was sacrificing quality of care. Everyone, especially Misti, seemed to compassionate, gentle and knowledgeable. As a disclaimer, I have to say that I never interacted with an actual vet, just a vet tech. The vet tech is also the one who performs the procedure. The vet is on hand though in case anything goes wrong. My neighbor did interact with Dr. Meyer and she said he was great. But again, that’s not based on my own personal interactions with him.
Long story short, I would highly recommend Kingsburg Veterinary Clinic! And if you go for a teeth cleaning, I would ask for Misti. She was phenomenal!
