McLendon Kenneth Dr Vet

The people are McLendon were friendly, and my cat’s appointment was very affordable. The first time I tried to go to McLendon, during their listed hours, I drove out with my cat only to find a note on the door that they were closed, which neither me or my cat were very happy about. Hmm. The second time I went, when they were open, the waiting room had about 10 people waiting in it (it’s first-​come-​first-​serve walk-​in, they do NOT do appointments for regular check-​ups).
I knew my cat had tape worms, but the process had me in and out very quickly, almost like getting fast food. I wish the vet had talked to me a little bit more about tapeworms and fleas and answered my questions, because ultimately my indoor cat ended up with tapeworms again (this can happen because of flea cycles – I’m not blaming the vet b/​c you’re supposed to vacuum up flea eggs or tapeworms can appear again – something I learned about later). If you’re going to be firing off a pill in my cat’s throat, I’d at least like you to tell me more information about it. I decided to try a different vet for the second round with tapeworms, because I felt very rushed and like I didn’t receive many answers, although like I said I thought the people at McLendon were very friendly and the price was right.
I ended up going to Animal Medical Center in Northport, and they were a lot more patient and willing to answer all my questions about tapeworms and fleas. The waiting room seemed more spacious and less crowded (and cleaner – I even saw a person at the front desk mopping) so I am going to be going to Animal Medical Center from now on (I also like appts better than walk-​ins).

A great vet who honestly cares about the animals. His staff is friendly and nice. Dr McClendon is friendly, knowledgeable and compassionate. Prices are reasonable and they dont try to upcharge you for something unnecessary. Would recommend to anyone.

These people were so nice, professional, and fast. They also gave me a good price. Definitely will keep them as my permanent vet!

Amazing staff. They take walk ins but it’ll be a long wait. I admit he sometimes gets focused on what he’s doing and you have to ask questions for more information, but he definitely knows his stuff and cares about the animals and that’s what’s important to me.
McLendon even met us on Thanksgiving day last minute when our dog had a slipped disc in his back. He stayed up all night with another dog that had gotten into some chicken bones from a neighbor’s party, and years later, when our two dogs passed away very close together, he made a donation in their name to an animal rescue society. That’s not the kind of care you get everywhere.

They are a very friendly, professional office.
It is first come first serve, so you have to be prepared to wait a while, but the upside is that their prices are very reasonable as a result, and they do not attempt to «upsell you.»
A very thorough, knowledgeable, caring veterinarian.
