K-State Vet is one of the most professional vet environments I have encountered. They aren’t my primary vet, but I have used their emergency services & dental services. The vet students are so caring and the vets are incredibly knowledgeable. I know my pets are in good hands. I wanted to specifically send some appreciation out to my most recent vet tech, Emmy. When she called to check on my dog after her root canal she was so empathetic. I am very grateful for this center.

The staff here is amazing. They took great care of our dog after she had been attacked. She was in the hospital for 2 weeks and they sent us pictures of her and let us come visit her once. This is an emergency vet so it is going to cost more money than a regular vet. Our regular vet attempted to do a procedure that resulted in our dog’s skin rotting. This caused our dog to have several infections. If you want the best care for your pet, then I highly recommend taking your pet here. This place is much more advanced than a normal vet so it’s the absolute best for surgeries and emergency situations.They do require half of the estimated payment upfront which is understandable.

AMAZING PEOPLE... All the way around. Amen to them all.

My experience was with the Emergency Vet and yes it was expensive but I knew that it would be going in to the appointment. The vet we had was great and very compassionate towards our situation. Even the vet student! Thank you both for caring for my Midnight.

I took my 4 month old kitten, Salem in because he got hurt. Head trauma from playing and heavy furniture got his head. I don’t want to talk about everything. I was too caught up to realize pricing and that they need payment before they can save my cat. My cat ended up dying two days later. They wanted $1,200 upfront and it seemed like that was only for testing. I understand brain trauma treatment is going to be expensive, but that much upfront? I couldn’t get qualified for care credit, even if I did it takes a week or more to be prequalified. They weren’t trying to help give me other options. Other than to leave him overnight for $600 then I couldn’t do anything. I had to watch him suffer. I got charged $195.00 for the day of. Emergency fee is $142, I think anyway.I just got a invoice today charging me more money (another $94.00) after my cat has already passed away. I’m already financially suffering, yet I still get more charges. You should have just took every penny I had the day of rather than charging me now. It doesn’t make any sense.

We had such an amazing experience working with Dr. Rooney and Sunny. A few weeks ago, my daughters hamster had a emergency and we were referred to K State for emergency exotic care. We hopped in the car and 2 hours later made it and everyone we worked with was great. Our sweet hamster, Ferb, crossed the rainbow bridge but Dr. Rooney was patient and took the time to fully explain what was happening and the options. Today, we received impressions of her paws and a sympathy card and we were blown away. Thank you for everything! It was worth the drive from Kansas City to your clinic.

It’s been a couple years since my visit, but I will never go back again. They are extremely slow and they keep you waiting for hours before they tell you what’s going on. Also - if you think a normal vet is expensive, well triple that cost! It’s too bad they are the only ones open for emergency care. In a time of confusion and panic, you’ll be totally price gouged and could possibly rack up $1,000s, but still have to bury your pet.

My wife took our puppy to get treated here for possible obstruction. Surgery was luckily not necessary, but the prices were fairly reasonable considering it is a 24 hour clinic. Just like with human emergency visits, they always cost more. I am so thankful to KSUs amazing vet team. They saved my puppy from a lot of pain and saved my wife and I a lot of worry.

I still have nightmares about this place. They over charge so much. You have to be wealthy to get your beloved pet medical treatment. Maybe my dog would still be alive if the bill wasnt $6000 to start. I only had $3000. Probably more than enough at a different vet. He is dead. I miss him still. If I had just taken him somewhere else. It still cost me over a $1000 to tell me that he wouldnt live

My dog was a victim of an attack by another dog. We called to see if we could bring him in for emergency services. With Covid, things have been tight in our household but my husband spoke to Page who said they just needed a deposit down and said how much would work and we would figure something else out when we got there, perfect. This was 1am and we live about 30 minutes away. We called a second time before leaving home to make sure we were still going to be accepted to be seen for the down payment we were told and we were reassured we were. I drove my poor pup there where someone looked at him in the lobby and said yes, he needed medical attention. I was then asked to wait in the waiting room for over an hour just for someone to come out and tell me that they couldn’t see my dog without full payment. If full payment is what you require, fine, I get it, but to be told twice that they were going to work with you and reassure you, before you drive all that way and back with a dog who’s in pain just for them to turn around and say, “sucks to suck, you’ll have to go to your vet when they open” was an awful and completely unprofessional situation. Any vet that can see an animal in an emergency situation, deemed by them, and turn them away because of money is just terribly sad. Shame on them. If they would’ve been honest up front before I drove out there in the middle of the night, it would be a different review. Very unprofessional.

I was devastated upon hearing my Golden Retriever has cancer. We took her down to K-State to be evaluated, to see if we could do chemo treatment. They are the most caring people I have found at a vet hospital. They have gotten my Golden into remission. I live in Eagle NE and would definitely make the drive over and over again as they are very knowledgeable and treat your pets as if they were their own.

They over charge for nothing. I admitted my hamster to them and he died overnight and they wanted me to pay for 2 days of care. Theyre all idiots (students experimenting) there. Go to Little Apple Vet. It will be cheaper and they treat you so much better.

My chihuahua had a bad infection and they took very good care of my dog who is only 6 months old. I have to thank them for the job with my dog. It was a Easter present from my son and I didnt want to lose my puppy.

I accidentally hit my dog with the weed eater. Which cut through his tibia and fibula. This was Thursday evening.The staff at that time was very attentiveAnd assured me he was under pain control.The veterinarian on call ask for pictures to be sent and he would see him in the morning.So Friday morning it was decided it would be best to Amputate his front left leg.This leg was dangling.But the veterinarian said they had a full schedule and dont do surgeries on weekends and it would need to wait till Monday.So I checked him out and took him to another veterinarian. She amputated the leg and sent him home on antibiotics and pain meds.I have been using K-State vet med for 30 yrs and never been so disappointed.The cost they estimated was $3000.The veterinarian which did the procedure was under $700.

I would recommend this place to anyone! Everyone was so nice and professional. Our boy didn’t like needles and was very pushy and they handled it very well. They treated our horse as one of their own. Very nice people and great facility!

We brought our animal to the clinic Friday afternoon... Dr. Schermerhorn and the fourth year student (Cameron) were both wonderful to work with. They stayed late into the evening running tests and came up with an aggressive treatment plan. I will be forever grateful for their compassion and care.

We are T&D Donkey Rescue and we bring some very sick equine to them. The veterinarians and students have always been so compassionate, professional, up-front as to a plan. They create a treatment plan and keep us updated daily and more often if necessary. Great place for equine!! They have our full confidence in what they can do.

We had an emergency this weekend with our 6 month old puppy. We took him to K-State University vet and after 5 hours their diagnosis was an emergency surgery. They told us it was going to cost $4,000! We try making payment arrangements pleaded with them there was no way out it was either fine $4,000 or let my dog died. In my desperation I called Deep Well, it was about 8:30 p.m. at this time the vet listen to me she she show concern and even went as far as to call K State to find out what was wrong with my dog. After about 20 minutes she called me back and asked me if I could be at her clinic in about an hour! She preformed is surgery for a are sweets Flynn. We were there for about 45 minutes all together and the cost was but a fraction of what K-State wanted. Thank you Deep Well Veterinarian Clinic For Your Love and dedication to these animals,you truly do care for them💕🐕

Great experience in working with the staff. They were communicative and supportive.

Im sure they are good at what they do, but I had a horrible experience with KSU VHC. Slow, unprofessional, poor documentation and communication.Check in took 45m and I had to explain the background and why we were there to 2 different people.Did not disclose all costs and does not get approval of random tests they want to run. An abdominal ultrasound and bloodwork was to be $370. 6 hours later, ended up with a +$600 bill for tests and charges I was not told about or approved.Continued to stall by wanting to run more tests that could have been run earlier in the day. Waited 30m from the vet to bring out our cat. And had to ask for the documents we provided back. Told they would call with the results that evening. 24 hours later, I had not received a call. I called but only received a busy signal. I then emailed requesting all test results. Finally heard back 2 hours later.I will find another small animal hospital if the need arises again.

We took our Lab to Kansas State for a tie back procedure to help with her laryngeal paralysis. These folks were amazing. Abby was well taken care of, she came back shiny and smiley, like a lab should. They called me twice a day while she was there with updates, and four times the day of her surgery. I never had to wonder how my baby girl was doing. The discharge instructions were precise and easy to understand. Amber (Abbys assigned senior vet student) was enthusiastic and answered any and all questions I could come up with. All and all, a great experience!

They took decent care of my dog when I had to bring her in for emergency.I brought her in a little before 4:00pm but they didnt start running any tests until after 5:00, so everything went up in price. I understand theyre busy but that was a little overwhelming that it took so long to get her checked out. They ran all the tests though and called every time they had a question so I know they were thorough.Everything went well, picked up my dog, and I paid the bill, or so I thoight. A month later, I got a whole new bill in the mail! No one bothered to tell me that another entity goes over the first bill and can go and charge you more for the services, so then you get billed more by mail! Emergency vet services are expensive and I was not expecting to have to shell out more after I paid at the vet. I called and left messages with the billing department to go over my charges but no one ever called me back.The new bill was almost half of the amount that I already paid!

While moving across the country with our guinea pigs, one of our boys developed GI stasis and required a trip to the emergency vet. The folks at Kansas State were professional, empathetic, and communicative throughout the whole process of treating our sweet boy. We are so grateful to the staff for saving our Beans life, and are happy to report that we made it to our new home in Oregon safely. ☺

Friendly people and have taken good care of my pets when no one else was open in Salina.

Good experience. They are always so polite and helpful on the phone when I call them. Today I thought my dog ate a penny, I brought her in immediately. She was taken back ASAP. Everything was done quickly. Yes, it’s expensive but you pay for what you get. You receive great care here and it’s much appreciated. Thank you for being open 24/7

Been leaving voicemails to contact me regarding a few questions for 2 days. No responses very rude receptionist obviously Im interrupting their time on Facebook or Twitter. Will not even consider going here even if its the best medical care in the state. I cannot believe the level of arrogance and inconsideration for a person that needs veterinary Care

Excellent vets, terrible planning. I was billed a significantly higher number than I was quoted, though the service itself was fairly good. Though, the woman working at the check-in shed was exceptionally rude. Everyone else was kind, though Im extremely frustrated that I gave the department a hard cap at where I could spend and they went far beyond that and gave an inaccurate quote on how much it would cost all together. I feel screwed over despite the good service.

Great veterinary hospital!! I used them a lot when I lived there in 2006-2010. I also worked in equine ICU while I was in vet school. Highly recommend!!

If you need “serious” care for one of your animals?! There’s none better. Costs more.... but I’ve wasted more money on visits to my local vet and “still” had to take them here. Save the money and get the right diagnosis and the right treatment all in one place.Excellent faculty and students. Can’t brag enough about how they “care”.

A month ago we had to bring our rabbit Manchas (Spots) at 2 in the morning because she couldnt breathe. No other place near us was open 24 hrs. Although she passed away 8 hrs later, they did everything they could to keep her alive. I was constantly getting calls with updates on her situation and was being presented with options and prices before they proceeded. They were always completely honest and never tried to push any decision.Although it was a horrible day for my family and I, I am extremely grateful she passed away under their care. You can tell they are passionate about their job and really do care about animals. They sent us a hand written letter with condolences from the vets, showing us they understood our pain.Greatly recommend if your pet is not doing well, they are the most KIND and PROFESSIONAL.

Local veterinarian arranged emergency care with Dr Rankin to remove foreign object in my horse’s eye on arrival with standing sedation if possible. I was advised of extra charge for emergency care after hours. I went directly there however no emergency treatment was done, they didnt want to call in staff. They let my horse suffer with foreign object in cornea overnight, no treatment for over 10 hours, and the ulcer injury and infection just got worse overnight. After 2 weeks of treatment ultimately she recommended removal of the eye and had it set up with surgeon before calling me. Vet had more enthusiasm for removing the eye than she did for removal of object from eye in first place. Despicable care. Warped priorities. Too lazy to go to work for emergency contributed to terrible outcome. More interested in $$$$ than care. Don’t go to KSU veterinary if you care about your animals!

This establishment seems to be more interested in money than actually caring for the pet. My 5 month old puppy went in Saturday morning and died Saturday night. Initially we were told it was $540 for an examination and diagnosis. Hours later we were told that he had fluid in his lungs and that it would be $1400 to keep him stabilized and to perform his surgery. We paid the $1400 and was told they removed the fluid and he was stable. After paying $1400 there was an additional $1900 due. With every update they informed us that he was stabilized. It felt like they were telling us that to keep our hopes high. The last call about saving him we were told they need $12k to keep him alive. They said were not rushing you to make a decision, but we need to know your decision in the next 3 hours. Unfortunately we are a middle class couple that did not have $12k to spare. We made an attempt to raise the money in 3 hours, but failed. Later in the night we received the phone call that he passed away. My concern is that if he was stabilized and the fluids were removed what caused his death? Our pup died on a metal bed with no love or comfort surrounding him. We did not have him cremated. We picked his body up to bury him ourselves and after viewing his body we didnt see any signs of surgery being done, just shaved fur. We honestly feel like this entire situation was a money scam and they never knew exactly what was wrong with him. Please take your pet else where for emergency treatment.

I mean just start by saying that I have used them for my horses for years and was absolutely amazed with their services however today after I made a phone call to their small animal side of their clinic and spoke to a very inconsiderate woman on the phone I wouldnt let them wash the hair on my dogs butt not to mention care for one of my animals. Im not sure if theres been a change in administration or what is taking place in the last year but today was the final straw. I will never recommend K-State to anyone nor will we be returning for any reason.

Great result except our dog returned with kennel cough. Kennel cough can be spread by exposure to droplets from another animal with the condition. It can also be spread by equipment and facilities not being disinfected. We don’t know which is the case with our dog but hope the university is aware of the problem and takes steps to limit exposure to patients.

My experience with K-State has been nothing short of fantastic. My dog tore a ligament in his foot, and I had called Blue pearl vet clinic to see how my the surgery was going to be, they quoted me $5000. My dog had two surgeries for the price that I was quoted at Blue Pearl for one surgery. Secondly, the surgeon was amazing and the students were amazing. My dog was a handful, and they treated him so well. They did everything they could for him, and they didnt try to push unnecessary treatments/services on me. I drove two hours there and two hours back for every appointments and it was totally worth it. I would recommend anyone here!

Hopefully you have unlimited cash because they will send your pet home if you dont. My shepherd went in for herniated disc and was sent home barely able to walk even after I insisted they keep him as long as needed. In addition, he came home with a large wound on one of his front legs when they say some kind of fabric caused it. I have no idea his prognosis or how long hell need therapy or if hell ever fully recover. Keep in mind this place while a part of a learning institution is also a business.

Sadly it seems they care more about the money than anything else. The prices are extremely inflated for both care and prescriptions. Yes the staff is nice however it doesnt seem to be more than just an opportunity to charge the highest rate possible to those in need of help. The same medication they charge also $500 for I was able to get for $89 elsewhere...

I wanted to say how well my dog Gunner was taken care of while he was there. This started off as an eye injury and ended up being so much more. The Doctors and staff cared for Gunner better than I could ever imagined. When Gunner didn’t eat and had a shore mouth they purchased him a roasted chicken to entice him to eat. He was much more than just a dog to them, his care was top notch! Even after we returned home the follow up calls and questions still continued. Thanks so much to the doctors for putting him on a speedy recovery! I will alway remember you guys and wish you the best of luck!

Always there whenever I need something and good honest doctors and students could be more breeder friendly, since Im a Breeder i need a fast and Reliable Emergency for my pups at a moments notice. for the most part they have been honest and anytime I have a dog or pup or hedgie they have always been quick to help.

Terrible treatment, horrible patient/owner care, and a accounting department that only cares about $$$$. Only till a couple of years ago none of the “doctors” were licensed to practice in the state of Kansas. Only place they could practice was in the K-State building facility, which had a blanket license for all Drs that worked there. Would highly suggest BLUE PEARL CLINIC in Kansas City. Very professional, educated, caring staff.

Don’t waste your money. $2,000 down and still no idea what’s wrong with our dog. They don’t look at symptoms. They charge you thousands of dollars to run basically random tests that tell you absolutely nothing. Avoid everything KState at all costs. Every time we’re there our dog would be there for upwards of 5 hours. There’s a $125 fee just to walk in the door, regardless if they actually even see your dog or not. All they care about is the money. It’s a total joke.

Although my sweet boy couldnt be saved they did the greatest thing for us and sent me paw prints and did what they could.. he got out on christmas in 2019 and come home 2 months later to be able to rest peacefully with his family..thank you Kstate

Definitely good for a one time visit, but if you come more than once be prepared for every single visit to be like the first time you were there. You might expect that after the first visit they would have a file with the information about your pet that they would consult, but nope. They will ask all the same questions at each appointment, and getting them to look at information from previous visits (like for instance what medicine they administered to your pet) is almost like pulling teeth. The administration side also has a hard time keeping track of records from multiple visits and will be unable to tell you even information such as when the last time a pet came in was, or whether there are any refills left on a certain medication. Again, for one time visits theyre great! But dont be like me and try to make them your regular vet.

If it could be rated lower it would be. My wife took our St. Bernard puppy in to be checked out because our groomer had said that he was sick. She had to pay $125 just for walking in the door. There was no power so they took my wife and stuck her in one of the backrooms where she waited... for 3 hours while no one would give her any information as to what was going on. Finally she decided to leave went up to the desk to get her money back as this Vet HADNT performed any type of service AT ALL. But they told her no as the fee was non refundable. You must be joking. She had to pay $125 just wait in a dark room for 3 hours. Never take your animals here. The staff is a joke and I highly doubt they could accurately treat a dog that has a cold. Some training hospital this is. More like training them in the fine art of fraud.

The vet I saw was so kind and understanding. Some of the students were very aloof, which is okay because they’re students, it’s understandable. My biggest grievance is the secretaries. Many of them came across as excessively snooty, like I was wasting their time by asking them for assistance. It was more than a little jarring and uncaring to come into the ER in tears as my baby struggled to breath and was cold in my arms...and immediately told to pay them 130$. I understand the fee, but it could have been handled so much better.

I took my Syrian Hamster in yesterday for an extremely bloated belly. The prognosis was grim. Snuggles had to be euthanized. They were honest with me and helped me through making the decision to euthanize him. Even in the state I was in (bawling my eyes out) they answered all my questions.They let me say my goodbyes and come and go as I needed for fresh air. They took clay paw prints for me. I was so distraught I wish I had something with the two ladies names on it. They were so kind in reassuring me that it was nothing I did that it was a freak phenomenon for my poor baby.They were kind and compassionate towards me and Snuggles. They made the whole ordeal a little easier for me. They even set it up where I didnt have to pay for it that day they let me go home and try and heal from this heartbreak.

Thank you so much to KSU vet clinic!! I brought my baby girl Kahlula there on Sunday to their ER as she was having severe tremors and couldn’t stand or walk. The Doctor and staff diagnosis’s was a poisoning by toxins found in a compost pile. She’s had a very rough several days but I can happily report she’s doing much better tonight. She’s finally able to walk and stand. Even though she still shaking it’s a major improvement. She’s also able to eat, drink and go to the bathroom again. Even my own vet clinic didn’t answer their emergency number when I needed them, nor did they ever call me back. Thank you will never be enough for you saving my fur baby!! I will bring my other 5 fur babies to you for future care. You truly saved my baby!!

If you go here on the weekend be prepared to wait if there is an emergency that comes in. We waited in a room for 2.5 hours for an estimate, which took 5 minutes go over when they returned to the room. They only have 1 Dr to address everyone. They definitely need more staff. Staff was nice, but I thought my dog had an emergency as well and drove 1.5 hours to get there just so we could wait.. Total time spent there was over 4 hours. Not happy

Let me start off by saying thank you!Our first visit was on a sunday night after my great dane was attacked at a dog park by 2 other great danes. Big dogs cause big injuries. We called ahead and they were ready for us when we got there. The injuries were minor but needed to be treated regardless. When you walk in they require a $135 payment before you are seen. It took me back a little but in the end I understand. This is applied to the final bill if you didnt know.Now fast forward one week, we went in with our Great Dane to get looked at for a possible cherry eye. After going to ophthalmology and having a thorough examination it was not what we thought.The staff was compassionate and incredibly knowledgable. I have no problem with the students doing the exams and giving a diagnosis. This is how they learn afterall. The resident vet came in to confirm diagnosis from the student and treatment plan after she examined him. In our case there are 2 treatment options that vary little in cost. It was reassuring to see multiple vets and students collaborating on the plan and giving their opinions.In the end, our puppy is home after surgery healthy and happy. He made lots of friends with the staff and it showed they treated him like he was theirs. The estimate originally quoted was high and we paid less than was quoted. (Pleasant surprise).The comments about payment seem to be misdirected. Their pricing for treatment was straightforward and reasonable. Understanding that this is a school and self sustaining business is hard to comprehend when you are dealing with a sick pet. I have had to face hard decisions in the past of whether to treat my pets or let them go because the cost is too great. Just keep in mind they will give the best care possible to your pet but you have to pay for it.

We took our little dog in through the emergency room thinking he would have to be put to sleep for severe back pain and paralysis. They saw him right away, operated the next morning, and basically saved him. They called every morning and night with updates, communicated clearly with us and gave him excellent and compassionate care. Thanks to them our beloved pet has a chance at a happy life.Yes, they are pricey but they give excellent treatment and care.Everyone on staff was wonderful to us, but I would like to give special thanks to Jennifer for going above and beyond to care for Marty and keep us, his anxious parents, informed and comfortable that he was getting the best care possible.

There are some of the best vets Ive ever encountered here. The vets are knowledgeable and kind, Dr. Mauro and Dr. Steins are amazing. Barb, one of the discharge staff has got to be saint, she has been so nice. The cost has been comparable to other local vets.We will continue taking our pets here.

Extremely satisfied with my overall experience. My horse was colicing and it was late on a Friday night. The receptionist was great and got me promptly on the phone with the Dr. to discuss best course of treatment. Ultimately she came out to my property. Dr. Youngblood arrived in a timely manner, was thorough, professional, and compassionate about the well being of the horse. She never once acted like it was an inconvenience to be out there late and in the cold, communicated well and addressed questions and concerns. She also called the following day to check in on him. As someone who is in the veterinary profession, I truly value my positive experience, especially on an emergency basis.

SUPER THANKFUL FOR THIS AMAZING TEAM TONIGHT!! I called ahead in complete tears and the receptionist was very very sweet and helpful!!! The senior student kaitlyn who helped my sweet Frankie was very professional and genuine!! I didn’t feel pushed into unnecessary treatments, it was definitely all about him and his well being!! I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!! Thank you all soooo much for all your help!! Frankie will be back to himself in 8 weeks with cage rest!!

MY first experience with K-State Vet Health Center was three years ago when my dog needed localized radiation on a malignant growth on her arm. We had to take her down there every Monday and pick her up every Friday for 6 weeks. They took really good care of her and spoiled her. She was often found hanging out with the students in the students lounge. She was in remission for the growth on her arm but cancer appeared in another place in her lungs and she did not live much longer after that.My current experience with them is now my other dog has multiple myeloma and it is a rare form of cancer in dogs, my local vet sent me there because they had all of the resources that would be necessary to help him. All of the students were very nice and the veterinarians were extremely nice, had great listening skills, and just overall friendly. They kept us well educated on the whole process and presented us with options and the pros/cons of each option. They are actually cheaper than a local specialist and they have a much larger staff where ideas can be bounced back and forth. They always call me or e mail me back within the same day. The ladies at the front desk is very nice, I dont know what the other peoples problems were but I never had a problem with them at all. Im grateful that they were able to give my pets a new lease on life and greatly improved their quality of life. These people are awesome, especially the oncology department.

This place saved our dogs life. Dr. Jugan and the team of techs (I wish I could remember all their names) were absolutely amazing. After taking her to 2 different primary care vets, our puppy was slowly fading away and was in her last couple days of life. Based on a recommendation to take her to Kstate ER, we made the trip from Topeka. After 4 days in ICU we were able to bring our girl home and shes on her way to recovering completely.If you are looking for a cheap place to take your pet THIS IS NOT IT! I spent a small fortune. However, if you are looking for a place that has top of the line customer service, is extremely efficient, and the skills and tools to save your pets life...this is the place to go.

I never actually went there but I called twice this weekend. I tried to explain to both medical students I talked to how sick my cat was. The first one said it didnt sound urgent and stressed that there is a $125 fee just to be seen on the weekend not including any tests or treatment. The second one I talked also spent more time talking about how much they charge. I took my cat to his regular vet and he had to be euthanized because by that point it was unlikely hed survive surgery. So thanks KSU for contributing to the loss of my baby because you thought he wasnt worth your ridiculous fees.

One month ago today, I had to rush my precious Kitty to KState from Wichita because she had a stroke. When I got there they were waiting for me and rushed us to a room. Unfortunately, My beautiful girl Kitty passed, but I have never felt so much compassion as I felt at KState veterinary. Not only were they gentle and loving to Kitty but to me in my loss. About a week after Kitty passed, we received her paw prints in clay with her name accompanied by a sympathy card that the staff that day not only signed but wrote their sentiments. I will never forget the kindness that they showed us. God bless them all!

Our Bernese Mountain Dog had two TPLO surgeries at the KSU vet hospital. Both surgeries went great and the care of our Berner was top rate. Drs. Berke (1st surgery) and Renberg (2nd surgery) did great work. There was one exception, they used too long of screws for the plates inside the knee. This may cause other issues in the future. Being a surgical nurse myself I’ve assisted on many orthopedic surgeries. There is a tool to assist with determining required screw length. It’s called a depth gauge. My suggestion is that they use it in future orthopedic surgeries requiring screws.The students that took care of him each time (Grace and Lexy respectively) took care of him like he was their own. Thanks to everyone for all their good work

This clinic doesnt even deserve 1 star. Worst experience I have ever had. My appointment was 10:00 and didnt even see the resident until 12:00. Only got to spend 5 minutes with the resident. She clearly did not know what she was talking about. My dog was hit by a car and needed knee surgery. The resident tried to tell me my dog had knee problems prior to being hit by the car (not true). She also tired to tell me this would happen to the other knee as well. I dont even think the resident liked dogs with the way she treated mine. She was loud and did not even try to warm up to my dog before she muzzled him (he has never had to be muzzled before). At the end of my appointment my estimated cost was $3,000.00 and I did not even have a clue as to what the surgery was going to be. I ended up driving back 2 hours to pick my dog up because I did not want him to have the surgery done there. I put down $1800.00 and when I came back to pick my dog up they told me it would take 2 weeks to get my refund! They also complained when I wanted a copy of the financial policy. The front desk girls were also rude. They acted as if I was an annoyance because I had to call twice to figure out what day my dog would have surgery and to see if I needed to stay the night in Manhattan. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE!

I am actually stunned by the bad reviews. We couldnt have asked for more compassionate and thorough care for our Golden Retriever. I would highly recommend Kstate Vet school to anyone!

Paid 135 dollars straight through the door for them to only tell us it’s gonna cost us an extra 1500-2000 dollars for them to keep our pup and diagnose her, wasted my time and money.

I took my dog to K-State for an issue with her front leg. Dr. Roush spent all of 10 minutes with us, thought it could be an elbow issue because that is what the veterinary student suggested. He said theyd take some x-rays and call us, but several hours later only the student called and had no answers. When we went to pick up my dog, still no answers, and the student couldnt answer a single one of my questions (left alone, no vet). The STUDENT called me back later in the day and indicated my three year old dog had pano (again, couldnt answer any questions). The dog had been limping every day for four months, and is three years old. Pano is associated with dogs less than 18 months old and it is an intermittent problem. Im not a vet and I know it isnt pano, and several vets I saw after that agreed with me.I finally took my dog to Dr. Smith at the Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Center in Wichita, who did many x-rays and an ultrasound. The ultrasound indicated there were tears in her infraspinatus (shoulder). I contacted K-State and said I wanted a refund for being brushed off, treated basically by a student, and given a ridiculous diagnosis. Again, I was ignored. I was even contacted by Tom Schwartz, another vet who stood by their ridiculous diagnosis even with PROOF of the ultrasound from my vet. I will NEVER go to K-State again, and I graduated from there. I am embarrassed to even admit that now, and I think they thought since I was a woman there with my daughter that they didnt need to give me the time and attention my dog deserved. Dr Roush went to surgery apparently right after we left, which is why he was unavailable to answer any questions. I waited a month for that appointment.The good news is that Dr. Smith spent months giving my dog therapy and she is finally able to run and play again. Shed still be limping and miserable every day had I trusted K-States diagnosis. Dont waste your money, your time, or your dogs health going to K-State.

I brought my Australian shepherd mix Luna in last night around 3:30 am. I was panicked and scared that something serous was wrong. The student and vet who took care of her were both amazing. Asked thorough questions, and took great care of my puppy.I think some of the people in other reviews don’t realize that going to an emergency vet is going to cost you. They were up front about the visit cost on the phone, they spoke to me about costs before they did x-rays and blood work. And got results back to me quicker then they estimated the time it would take. I’ll definitrly bring my dog back there for her regular vet care now as we just moved here and don’t have a vet yet.Thank you for taking care of my baby.

Dr. Aldrige did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. He had two broken legs and a fractured pelvis. If your animal is in need of immediate medical attention, and its life threatening, I would only go to KSU.

Wow. What an incredible level of service. thorough, caring, and compassionate to say the least. Dr. Shermerhorn was a fist class guy.

Today is Thanksgiving and I brought my cat into the emergency room because he was coughing/had trouble breathing. Im thankful for all the veterinarians who worked on thanksgiving. The emergency hospital at KSU was the only place open, so they were swamped. I saw the doctor I had with several different people over the night. A lot of them were crying (including me at one point). But I saw her (and the people she worked with) taking time to talk to and comfort each pet parent. They seemed to be going nonstop during the whole time I was there. They go above and beyond just treating pets.

Ive called the emergency help line thats *supposedly* open 24 hours, 4 times in the last 20 minutes and all I get is the Avaya Messaging System, where Im welcome to enter the last name of the person Im trying to leave a message for.Since I highly doubt theres anyone there whos last name is My dog may be choking , the help line isN O T helpful at all.

They took AMAZING care of my Midnight when he needed an emergency visit and surgery. I would recommend this place to EVERYONE!

They saved our dogs life. Two vets one in the Shawnee and the Leawood said she needed to be put down. Manhattan Veteranary School did surgery almost 7 months ago and she is doing g great.

After my Cavalier King Charles had heart failure, the emergency vet recommended a local Kansas City cardiology specialist to see every three months. My regular vet suggest I look into the Kansas State Vet Hospital services. While the initial work up was pricey I was given very clear, honest information to help me make an informed decision about my pets future health.Since then, I have been seeing Dr. Justin Thomason and his team/students every 3 months. They are so great with Brooklyn (my dog) and always provide the most information and best care possible. Their regular services are also considerable less expensive than the Kansas City specialist I was referred to. Dr. Thomason makes a point to get back to me with any questions or concerns I have on a regular basis.They offer wonderful staff and services, and I feel good about supporting a school that produces more great veterinarians.

Outstanding care. Dr. Thomason and staff took excellent care of my girl, Maggie.

My cat is diabetic and I accidentally broke his bottle of insulin. However I already had a new one on the way. I thought it might arrive on Saturday, but it did not. My regular vet was closed due to it being Memorial Day Weekend, so I called to see if they could do anything. I would have to bring him in and pay $122 just for them to check him. Then who knows if there would have been extra fees after that to get the insulin. All I needed was about 20 units of vetsulin to get to Tuesday when either I could call my regular vet, who has given me insulin for free in the past during an emergency situation, or most likely the vetsulin I ordered will be here. I have proof of his prescription and have been giving him insulin for almost a year.I understand the doctor may not have wanted to give insulin to a cat they have never seen, but with proof of his prescription in an emergency situation, I dont see how this is a problem.

I have been there three times now for different things and always leave with a bill of at least 500.00. Everytime they insist on x-rays and blood work no matter what the issue is so be prepared to hand over a lot of cash. After x-rays and bloodwork they still could not identify the problem, so that was a bit irritating. The staff is pretty nice and professional and facility is kept clean.

I cant say enough good or sing higher praises for KSU veterinary hospital. They brought in our Bohdi in wee hours of a.m. with a broken pelvis. We drove almost 3 hours in middle of night to get there. They treated us and our dog with compassion. Bohdi received quality care, with regular updates on his status after his surgery. Senior student Kate, was main caregiver for Bohdi, post-op , she answered all our questions and treated us and Bohdi like family, as did Dr. Roush, the surgeon whom answered all our surgery questions. We are so grateful for KSU veterinary hospital. Highly recommend ♥️

We have a Ragdoll cattery and the Veterinary Health Center has not only done all of our checkups and spay/neuters but has gone over the top on saving the life of one of our female breeders. If it werent for the staff, students, and Dr.s, our precious Sassy would never have survived her ordeal. A thousand Thumbs Up for the Vet Health Center at KSU.

My dog had a mass that rupturged on MLK day. Drove lil over 2 hours to emergency care because my regular vet wouldnt accept him and the referred vet would not help either. But death by injection was. This was not an option.All of the people involved at K-State vet care called like clockwork to keep me informed of my dogs health. They are so kind and took the time to explain things. Shout out to Dr.W and ICU. You rock!!

Rudest vet and office staff I have ever talked to. They made me feel stupid on the phone and the fact that I called was an inconvenience to them. Dont waste your money here.

I took my friend there with her 14 year old dog,they made her feel comfortable. .the dog was severely ill..she had to put the dog down..as a last resort. .we asked if he look over the dog to see if there w as anything they could do to save him..but..it was to late he was really ill..she had not much money to do so..but..that was not an issue for them..they made it comfort environment all the way around..helped with all the arangements..all the other vets would not help..unless money up front..Thank you KSU veterinarian clinc..bless you for helping in a time of need! Chip can rest in peace in heaven now!

Literally the worst veterinary clinic Ive ever been to. They were very rude the first time we brought our cat in, like it was an inconvenience for them to have deal with our sick cat in the night. In the end it didnt work out with our cat, They said they would never charge us more than our down payment without letting us know. Next thing we know were charged for more than we had initially put down when they said we were getting refunded since they didnt treat him the day we put him down. My Fiance has been calling to try to get answers and theyve been nothing but rude.

K-state save my dogs life after he got hit by a car. I wouldnt take my dog any where else except k-state

I went in there with my dog. He had a fracture in the right scapula. He underwent surgery and writhing 4 days of the surgery. The pins and wires gave out. I called them and they told me they would do the surgery again at full price with no guarantee. The wires they put only lasted 4 days and they cant take responsibility for that? Never taking my dog back.

The best animal hospital in the nation! Friendly, professional, compatient, the best!

Hope your not going in as walk in, as the wait was about 5 hours just to receive a 5 minute parvo test and some meds. Its a joke

We have been today because we found a wild turtle wounded on the road, the staff have been very kind, and they have keeped with the turtle to treat it, without charge.

The entire staff, student, and doctors were absolutely great!

This place is the best they are so nice and helpful

Money pit they are.

They fixed our baby!!

A very good animal clinic with a very caring staff.
