Moraga Veterinary Hospital

I too agree with these reviews and highly recommend Moraga Vet. They have been great in taking caring of my mother’s dog and making excellent suggestions on her care.

VERY happy with our vet. From the receptionists to the assistants to the doctors, you can tell that they truly love our dogs. They know our dogs by name and they treat us like part of their extended family. Our dogs have seen both Dr. Bill Kidd and Dr. Ian Kidd. They are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Dr. Bill Kidd will answer all of your questions and he explain everything so that you can understand it. I feel that he gives many options regarding our dogs’ treatment rather than just one. If you are looking for a vet that truly cares, look no further.

Dr. Bill Kidd has been taking care of our family’s animals (mostly cats but dogs as well) for over thirty years. He’s extremely knowledgeable, practical and takes the time to tell you the options for any issue, as well as the costs, potential outcomes and, most importantly, how it will affect your animal. I cannot say enough good things about this truly gifted and dedicated doctor. Now, fortunately, his son, Ian Kidd is also part of the practice, and while I have obviously not spent as much time with him, he appears to be just as awesome as his father. This is a vet office that is wonderful and will likely continue to be wonderful for many years to come.

I had been searching for a Competent, professional and friendly Vet for my two cats for about 4 months. After taking my pets to various Vet offices in Oakland to no avail, I was ready to give up. I was making phone calls from work, during my break to Thornhill Vet to make an appt. to spay my kitten. When they said they didn’t have any appointments, a co-​worker overheard my conversation and recommended Moraga Vet. Hospital.
I have to say, that I am so thankful that I got the referral and discovered Dr. Bill Kidd and his staff.
Dr. Kidd is very easy to talk to and he doesn’t mind explaining his plans for treatment and expected outcomes. He is very patient and friendly towards his patients and you can tell he truly cares about his patients. His fees are also very reasonable and fair.
The office staff are very informative and friendly. The office itself is also very nicely appointed and has a beautiful courtyard entry with separate entry and waiting areas for cats and dogs. Parking is convenient and plentiful just outside the building.
I make the drive from Oakland to Moraga to take my pets to a vet that not only knows his stuff but also truly cares about their health and well being.

Best vet ever!!! We have taken our dog to many vets since she is in and out of the city staying with my daughter when we are away. Both drs have a practical, realistic, economical approach to care. I was referred to dr Kidd by a neighbor and so glad to make the drive for such excellent care… he literally saved her life this year using a gentle not over medicated treatment. Do not hesitate to call dr Kidd! Father or son are great…

This veterinary hospital is amazing! Dr. Ian Kidd is a wonderful vet. On Saturday he was in his car and on his way out of the office because his shift was done, when we drove up. We didn’t want to make him go out of his way to see our dog, but he could see our distress and he kindly offered to take a look. He parked his car, took us back inside, threw on his white coat and took care of our little girl with the most genuine concern. My labradoodle had a bad earache that was getting progressively worse and it turned out she had a two inch foxtail in her ear. Him and his staff were very sweet and gentle with her and they got the foxtail out in no time. Dr. Kidd didn’t want our dog to suffer until Monday, so he was kind enough to spend an extra hour of his free time to see her. This really showed his character! Also, the staff was so kind to us despite the fact they also had to spend a little overtime to help us out. I have never been so impressed with a veterinary hospital. And even with this amazing service, the cost was surprisingly reasonable. A+++ for Moraga Veterinary Hospital!

I have been a client of Moraga Vet for over 25 years. Dr. Kidd and his staff took great care of my dogs Sophie and Zeke, now deceased and are currently caring for my new shelter rescue Abby. I was so touched when Dr. Bill Kidd wrote my husband and I a handwritten letter of condolence when our dog Sophie passed away. Our dog Zeke became very ill at the age of 12 and we truly thought that we would lose him but with the careful treatment by Dr. Ian Kidd we enjoyed his company for 2 more years. Again I received a handwritten letter of condolence this time from Dr. Ian Kidd. Such a personal touch means a lot. The support staff at Moraga Vet is also wonderful. I am always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. I will continue to be a client and know that my pet will be getting the best of care.

This review is long overdue! We took our cat to see Dr. Kidd (Ian) because of behavior issues. He was patient while listening to our concerns and asked relevant questions. His examination was thorough and not rushed. Although he was unable to determine any apparent medical issues which may have been causing the behaviors, he gave us some suggestions for modifying the environment. His suggestions helped tremendously. Dr. Kidd also went the extra mile by giving us a follow-​up phone call to see how our kitty was doing. We will definitely be going back to Dr. Kidd for future veterinary needs!

Moraga Vet and their wonderful staff was recommended many years ago by friends who worked with search and rescue dogs. If trainers trusted Moraga then they must be pretty good there right? Wrong… they are the Best! After meeting both Dr. Kidd’s and the wonderful staff, we will never take our pets anywhere else. Ever. We don’t mind driving across 6 cities for visites. We completely trust and respect all that they do at Moraga and feel confident that everyone there has our pets best interest at heart. You can just tell by the way everyone handles the animals that the staff truly cares for them. There are always warm hellos through the door and follow up phone calls when needed. Recently we were let to the back to visit our kitty who had to stay the weekend after surgery, and we’re pretty sure her accomodations surpassed many hotels we’ve stayed at. We are very gratful to have found Moraga and have them help care for our 6 cats and dog. 7 stars! One from each of our kids!

I just love Moraga Vet. Hospital! Not only do they take excellent care of my Schnoodle, but also they care about me and my time. The office staff is always so helpful, informative, caring and warm. More than that they are effective and efficient in handling the set-​up of appointments. I am certain that my puppy is getting excellent medical care at MVH. I knew this was the place for us when even before I had a dog, I had called to ask many questions and was answered with patience and courtesy. Thanks MVH!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about both Drs. Kidd. I first started going to Moraga Vet Hospital with my family’s golden retreviers about 7 years ago, and primarily had Dr. Bill Kidd. He was always very patient with my questions, and was able to see my older dog Honey last minute when she was sick. A few months ago, I got an english bulldog puppy, and have been going to Dr. Ian. He always takes time to give advice about training, feeding, possible health risks, etc. After my first appointment, I received a hand written letter from Dr. Ian with a training brochure. I love the family-​like feeling of Moraga Veterinary Hospital, and highly recommend both Dr. Ian and Dr. Bill. Thanks for taking such good care of my puppy!

Dr. Kidd has been seeing our two dogs for 6 years now. He’s wonderful. Our dogs have had many special situations, including glaucoma, tooth problems, cysts, and even pnuemonia. He’s had to perform various procedures as a result, and he’s been very compassionate each time, making sure that the dogs get the best treatment possible and remaining sensitive to my fears. He’s called me personally after each of these surgeries to see how the dog was doing. And when my dog’s eye issues required more specialized attention, he referred me to a good veterinary opthalmologist.
During checkups, he is thorough and honest. He does not try to shoot the dogs up with a bunch of unnecessary vaccines, and he takes time to answer all of my questions. He even sent me a letter once to answer a question about a rare behavioral problem that required more research. His prices are very reasonable, and he always seems to have availabilities. He’s seen us many times at the last minute and on Saturdays. His staff is very loving and kind – you can tell they really enjoy working for him. And his son, who seems great too, just started practicing with him.

Awesome doctor, he takes care of our dog very well. I’ve called him at 6:00 on a Friday once because my dog cracked her tooth. He was willing to wait for me to come in to give me some pain killers to take her through the weekend.
He honestly cares about your pets, and that isn’t something you can take for granted.

I have been very happy with Dr. Kidd as our veterinarian. He will take the time to discuss issues with us regarding our dog in terms we can understand. He has always been patient, kind, and was quick to respond when our dog ripped four of her teeth in half late on a Saturday evening. The staff in the office are very friendly and easy to work with as well.

I and my family want to thank Dr. Kidd and all the wonderful staff at MVH. We have brought our cats and dogs over the years to Dr. Kidd for a myriad of routine and urgent visits. They have always been pleasant and understanding in even the most stressful times.
As medical professional I appreciate both Dr. Kidds bedside manner and medical expertise. He always goes above and beyond what is expected and his thoroughness is a testament to how much he truly cares for his patients health and well being.
There are several offices in our Alamo/​Danville area, but the care and service from Dr. Kidd and the MVH staff make it always worth it!!!
