Cottage Veterinary Care

My dog and I love Cottage Veterinary Care. Dr Wilkins has been kind and patient as my four-​legged child suffered some allergies in the past year, and we’ve had frequent visits to adjust treatment. The staff is always helpful, and it’s easy and quick to get appointments. I appreciate that they’re open on Saturdays; very helpful with my work schedule. Cannot say enough great things abt this place!

I never knew that I could like a vet this much. Everyone was great with our pup from the very start. You wouldn’t even know you were in a vet’s office-​the atmosphere is so comfortable (but still clean). The vet sat down on the ground and let our shy vizsla come to her and warm up while we chatted before putting her stethoscope on her. By the end of the conversation our dog was kissing her face and nuzzling her neck. The vet was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about animals, but not pushy, and the reasonable prices shocked me. I am so happy we are taking our pet here!

A doctor owned/​managed care vet facility, worth every penny and more…
We are a military family that moves around every few years. Our Annie-​dog was diagnosed with Cushing Disease just before transferring to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA and so I did extensive research into a new veterinary care facility to care for our fur-​baby. I found Dr. Kim and her team, and they very quickly became our our trustable agents and extended fur-​baby family. Our Annie-​dog would normally get stressed and anxiety over vet visits… but not while visiting Cottage Veterinary Clinic. Maybe because the clinic itself is on the mid-​floor of a house, maybe because it doesn’t feel (or smell) like a cold vet hospital, or maybe because the team of nurses and assistants welcome us with open arms… every single time we walk through the door. A simple «hey annie… want to go see the girls?»…and Annie would hop right up the stairs to the waiting area.
f you’re looking for a welcoming veterinary care facility, staffed with an animal-​lover staff willing to help and care for your pets, Cottage Veterinary Care is the place to go.

Dr. Kymberly Wilkins was absolutely wonderful. It is the first time that my little poodle wasn’t panicky when going to a vet. Everyone at the office was wonderful. The hosp. was clean and really cute. I wish we had a Vet in Reno like this one. We didn’t have an appointment, but they worked us in.

I don’t normally review places that aren’t food related, but after reading one severely negative review I felt I should weigh in. I have been using this Vet for about a year in a half. I don’t have any negative things to say. They always have time to fit you in even if you’re just overreacting to something that’s going on with your pet. To touch on some of the things that the negative review did, the waiting room is on the smaller side (with seating for about 2 – 3 owners and pets. You should be able to infer this by the name of this company being COTTAGE Veterinary Care. They do answer the phone when there is a customer in front of them. Upon answering the phone, they ask the phone caller to please hold. Therefore offering the best customer service for both customers at once. Dr. Kim and staff have always been courteous and helpful. Not just giving you the check in the box, but actually doing what is best for the pet. They will also give you advice if you call in about something (most vets do that). I leave my review at 4 stars just because everyone has room for improvement.

Wonderful! Fairly priced. Very friendly staff. Comfortable environment for the dogs and pet parents. I have taken my two dogs here and they have been cared so well for. Ones a 6 week old puppy and ones a 5 year old gentleman. I will be with this vet forever. They explain everything and are very informative!

My wife and I recently had to put down our cat. I have never done an in home euthanasia before but he was a cat that did not like going to the vet and we did not want his last moments to be stressful. We are so glad we opted to have Dr. Kim come to the house because it was so calming and so peaceful for him to cross the rainbow bridge at home. Dr, Kim and her vet tech Laurie were so kind and compassionate. We cannot thank them enough for their support during a hard time!

I was happy that they were open on a Saturday. The vet that is down the road from me is closed on the weekends and I do not like the other places that were available– mainly emergency clinics. Nikon had been playing with his friends and took a wrong step off and tore his dewclaw. I was able to clean and bandage him up.
I gave CVC a call and spoke to Devyn, who talked to Dr. Welch to see if they could squeeze Nikon in. They said no problem and to come on down. They were friendly and had me in and out in about 20 minutes. I filled out the necessary paperwork and Dr. Welch gave Nikon a physical look over. The whole procedure was quick and he got a cute pink bandage in the end.
I like how Dr. Welch only recommended antibiotics if there was more swelling or excessive leaking from the wound. She mentioned that because the area was cleaned prior and that I got him in relatively quick, there was not an immediate need for meds.
The cost of the procedure was reasonable, compared to the last place I went to for Nikon’s dewclaw.

I can not speak highly enough about this place!
The office is adorable and the care is exceptional. From the first visit it feels like you stepped back in time when small town vets really cared more about their patients then their wallets.
We’ve been taking our little 14 year cavapom here for just over a year. Our little guy is older and has a history of seizures so it was important to us to find just the right vet for him.
We’ve already had a couple emergency visits and they are always able to get us in right away, even on a rainy Saturday morning!
They always offer a conservative treatment option in addition to the more costly or aggressive options and let us decide how we want to proceed.
For the first time in years we have his seizures under control (just by changing his feeding schedule!) and could not be happier with the care he receives. We wouldn’t take him anywhere else!

I wrote a review a while ago, but I think it’s time to rewrite how amazing this vet is! BEST vet ever! I didn’t come across them, they came across me! When they first opened they found me on the bike path, fell for my dog’s good looks, and gave me their business card. That immediately showed me outgoingness with a personal touch! I didn’t go for almost a year, because I thought an adorable vet cottage in PG wouldn’t be affordable. I was wrong! I like how small the place is. Dr. Kim and her husband remember Grey Wind’s name every time we bump into them around town or come in. She understands my financial situation and helps me as best as possible. It’s a pleasant experience and she is just so good! My skiddish dog does well. I can even walk by the place and he won’t freak out! So far I’ve never had to wait long and even if I did, I wouldn’t mind because of how cute the office and reading materials are! I recommend all my pet friends! I work in downtown and bring Grey Wind to work, so hopefully people listen to me and take their pets their!

I have looked high and low for the best Vet, the best staff, and the cleanest Veterinary Clinic on the Peninsula.
COTTAGE VET IS THE PLACE TO GO!
Dr. Kim is one of the most compassionate Vets I have ever met.
She goes way, way, way beyond what any other Vet would do to help my 3 Labs! Two of my Labs are «special needs» girls who need to be closely monitored. When there is a follow-​up, Dr. Kim personally calls.
My «girls» run up the stairs, pulling me, to get in to see Dr. Kim and her wonderful staff.
Dr. Kim deserves a score of 20 stars for the love that she gives every animal that enters the door.
Every person whom I have sent to see her, has come back to me with the same feeling of care that I have.
Being a skeptical, and highly critical person (when it comes to my «children» getting the BEST CARE), I can’t say enough about Cottage Vet, Dr. Kim (and Dr. Welch), the compassionate, loving technicians, and the professional staff…
Dr. Kim treats my «children» like I do… with the same love and care.
So appreciative!

A friendly, small town feel, Vet that has taken very good care of our pup. Well, our 70lb pup. Mainly shots, de-​worming, etc. I’ve been very happy with them.

Have been a long time patient back when Dr. Jen was the owner. Dr. Kim is kind, considerate and takes the time to sit there and answer all her questions. When we moved out of the area I tried another vet but wasn’t treated anywhere near the level of Cottage Vet Care, so we are taking the long trip to see Dr. Kim. She is great.

We have a new puppy and the experience was great. Dr. Kim was very nice and the entire staff was enthusiastic and helpful. Highly recommend.

I took my dog, Pepper for an exam because he had a lump on his jaw.
Dr. Kim and staff were great with Pepper!
I really like this place … and I’m hoping that we can save Pepper!

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Kim and her crew.
Our dog runs up the stairs to see them, even though he knows he’s probably gonna get a thermometer up the bum. (All the treats probably help)
He also got sick over a weekend, and we had to take him to the Emergency vet hospital because they weren’t open on Sundays, well the next day we called and instead of saying to bring him in and take a look, they said he’s on meds and doing fine, awesome, only bring him in if it gets worse.
I send everyone I know here

I couldn’t have asked for a better vet! Clancey my 6 year old Border Collie was coming up lame after running the beach, I feared it was his hip.
and her staff were wonderful. Quickly examining and giving me choices for his recovery from a torn ligament in his knee I feel welcome and that they are vested in my dogs care. Thank you again Clancey and I are very thankful to Dr Kim.
Highly recommend

I could not be happier! The office and everyone in it is down to earth and absolutely charming! Loved the vet, who got down on the floor with my furry child, Abby to check out her itchy skin and look her over. Abby loved everyone there too!
The vet started NOT by standing at a computer and jacking up the bill, by adding prescription meds and a list of other costly needs that start ringing up loads of $$$$$. Instead, she acutally recommeneded I try a few home remedy items like flax seed oil, and benedryl, before we consider prescription meds and shots. It’s so refershing to find someone who actually is mindful of not taking advantage of my love for my pet through my pocketbook. I always felt so taken advantage of at my prior vets office. Me and my Abby girl are HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

We had our chocolate lab spayed here last week and she is doing extremely well! In all honesty, I didn’t think the recovery was going to be so easy for her. She is 3 ½ and a little overweight, so they had warned me that she wouldn’t bounce back as fast as a small dog or puppy. Well, she is doing fantastic and has been the whole time! No issues with her stitches or sickness from the drugs. Although it was pricy, it was worth it to know that they took great care of her and really know their stuff!
Love the staff! Thanks again for the great care!

Yahooo! I’ve found my vet place! I’m super excited to share the find. I have a bazillion year-​old terrier mix whose breath was GNARLY! i mean, he’d be in a different room and his breath was fumigating the entire house and you could smell it while in another room.
Well, i took him to Cottage Vet today and first impression: LOVED the cute place! Clean, airy, and modern-cottage’y looking. It actually smells GOOD when you walk in and you’d never know there are animals in there because it’s so clean. Second, the receptionist (Heathyr) is the friendliest and kindest EVER. Third, the assistant always had a smile on her face despite her poor nostrils flaring from the stench. And last but not least, the doctor was friendly, upfront, honest, down to earth, thorough and KIND, even whilst holding her breath from the dumpster-​quality air emanating from my poor dog’s mouth.
The doctor quickly and rather urgently suggested extraction of his teeth due to major infection and rotted teeth (we adopted him, so we had no idea). After giving me the estimate, and my agreeing to it, she went to work. I now have a normal smelling dog laying by my feet, still recuperating and toothless, but already seeming happier and healthier.
Prices are very fair and competitive, staff is superb, and doctors are GREAT. Very happy with the service and will be bringing my other dogs here!
