Any vet recommendations?

khugs · April 2006

I am new to the area (Clinton Hill/11205 zip) and am looking for a vet's office to take my cats.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanks!

there have been a few threads on the topic, which you may find interesting, but to cut to the chase, most everyone likes them best. for good reason.

I love Bkly Vet. Hospital on Vanderbilt Ave. They have great doctors and a nice staff

I also recommend Hopevet, they did a full dental exam/cleaning/a ton of tooth extractions for our elderly cat who had a lot of mouth problems.
The pet dentist was nice as can be and really took the time to allay my fears.
Our cat feels much better...if only she would let me brush her teeth to keep them healthy.

It was also a few hundred bucks cheaper than the estimate that they initially gave me, which was a welcome surprise.

how often are you supposed to brush your cat's teeth?

is it all cats, or just yours b/c it had problems?

I like Brooklyn Vets too. They have always been really nice to us. They are not cheap, however.

I am supposed to brush my cats' teeth 2x per week. They don't object too much, but I simply get out of the habit. My cats had some sort of gum disease, and had to have some small teeth pulled. Otherwise, I don't think your average cat needs to have his/her teeth brushed regularly.

Subject: AVOID DR. DENTLER AT 6TH AVE ANIMAL CLINIC AND KIKI'S PETSPA

Do your wallet and animal a favor, avoid Dr. Dentler and her clinic on 6th Avenue in Park Slope and/or her clinic at Kiki's Pet Spa on DeKalb.

Putting it mildly, she could care less about your pet and let's it show. Talk about no bedside manner, she treats our dog like it's a used car in for repair, suggests way too many tests, procedures and worst of all, charges for anything and everything to the highest amount she thinks you're willing to spend all the while playing upon your guilt and fears to get maximum reward.

During my final visit, she prescribed expired antibiotics. Didn't notice that until a few days later.

I hope I can spare you what we've experienced.
