I have had pets all my life and seen many vets over that time, but Dr King is the best. I drive out of my way to stay with this facility because time and time again they prove it’s worth it. They are so friendly and comforting and clear with my pets needs. I can’t recommend enough

This clinic came highly recommended from the staff at Tractor Supply. I’m so glad I brought my dog here. Their staff is extremely friendly! You ring a bell to get in so the lobby doesn’t get too congested, and they also make sure it’s clear before you leave the exam room. Dr. King was so kind, and thorough. Overall, we had a wonderful experience! My pup even got a glam shot! They send one home with you too 😊

I’ve had two experiences with this vet. On the first I was encouraged to have some of my cats teeth removed. On the day of the procedure Dr King sent me to a veterinary dentist as if he were looking in my cats mouth for the first time. He had previously told me that he had removed ALL of his owns cats teeth and the cat was perfectly fine. My cat was not after removing approx 6. The dental practice sent me back to Dr King for aftercare which resulted in three days of hospitalized aftercare because she could not eat, drink or sleep. Last Monday I took my cat in for yearly blood tests because she had vomited four times in the prior week. She vomited clear bile but had a hearty appetite and drank water well. Dr King did blood tests, X-ray and told me she has mild kidney issues based on those tests. He said he needed to give her fluids( she wasn’t dehydrated), B12 for energy, and anti nausea meds ( she was not nauseous ) She had eaten two hours before her vet visit and always had a huge appetite. I was also told she had to be sedated because they couldn’t draw blood without it. Really? They gave me some Rx kidney food and sent me home. Bill apprx $1500. Two days later she suddenly quit eating or drinking. They refused to see her or have a tech give her fluids. I picked up anti nausea meds and appetite stimulant meds Thursday. Both made her very sick. I literally begged them to see her and they refused and sent me to a ER. They gave me the name of a specialist. I ended up at ER the next day, Friday and again on Sunday. Their blood tests showed no kidney issues, a small amt of inflammation. IV’s , anti nausea and steroids. Had to put her to sleep Tuesday. After talking with another person who has used Dr King, it’s all about the initial up-selling of services and no service after the fact. The simple inhumane refusal to see her after the first $1500 charge and subsequent med charges is unconscionable. Stay away from this vet.

The entire staff was friendly and incredibly willing to help. Constantly made room in their schedule and helped me troubleshoot when we needed to adjust the plan for my dog. Excellent place!
