Kansas City Veterinary Care

Dr. Diehl showed the highest empathy and compassion in the hardest decision for my senior son, Chico (dog) that I ever had to make. His team also assisted with my request for my boys last day with us before we sent him to dog heaven. It was special and memorable. I am forever thankful and grateful for him and his staff.

I absolutely recommend this place to anyone who has pets. They are kind and respectful and give great advice for taking care of your pet. The 1st time I brought my cat here she had so much anxiety and stress and even scratched the doctor ( I still feel really bad about that). Dr. Miller who we saw recognized that my cat was stressed and was very empathetic and understanding. I took my cat here for the second time and she did much better. I am very happy with the service and kindness.

I took one of my conures to this clinic last year when it got injured. They charged me $115 just to look at the bird which is on top of any other fees that are incured from getting the bird back in good health. I called today because I bought another bird from what turned out to be an illegal breeder in KS, to have this bird checked out and they really raised their prices since last year and now want $130 to check out the bird. I understand that this is a business but this also supposed to be a place that takes care of animals, not rip off their owners. They make the prices so high because they know you love your pet and are going to pay it. I find that to be scandalous at best. I would most certainly find another avian vet. Their employees catch an attitude with anyone who questions the pricing. They should also know that the median household income in MO is only $67,449 and most families cannot afford that pricing. They simply do not care about you or your pet. Otherwise, the prices are not astronomical like they are. I paid well over $400 just to have my conure get a shot at the vet and a 10-day prescription. That is outrageous!!

I am struggling to even write this review because it is so hard to convery how deeply I admire, respect, and appreciate the people that make KC Vet Care so extraordinary. We have an 18 year old cat, a 6 year old dog, and a newly 1 year old puppy that all absolutely love seeing their pals at the office (shoutout to Autumn for suggesting the name we chose for our puppy!) Whether its a routine visit, an emergency, or a random question, I always know I can trust KCVC to genuinely care about the well being of our furry family members. We have seen a number of vets at this practice over the years here and I can confidently say any vet is amazing. I've consistently felt empowered to ask as many questions as I need to understand the best treatment options, best practices for their live stages, or even just what nutrition they need. Everyone is always professional, kind, informative, and gently pragmatic in the way you really need a vet to be when you have an elderly cat that takes multiple meds per day. The staff behind the scenes and the counter also never miss - always super timely with information, processing prescriptions, getting questions answered as needed. While I have no doubt about the expertise of the vets, this office has an incredible staff that keeps things moving efficiently and effectively. I am so deeply grateful for this business and these people and there's no real way to express it. All I can say is that I unequivocally recommend keeping your pets' health in these capable hands.

This was our first visit to KCVC. Kansas City Veterinary Care and Dr. Kirkwood were phenomenal. Many Vet/Doctors offices are sterile and unwelcoming. Everyone on the staff here was the complete opposite. I felt welcomed and confident in the care everyone provided. I would trust them with everything involving my pets. So happy to have found a new vet clinic! Thank you to everyone there!
