VCA Holly Farms Animal Hospital

My dogs love going here, a little too much 😒 they are absolutely in love with all the staff! I have been going to VCA Holly Farms for at least 18 years, since before the new building, since before they were VCA! They are by far the most compassionate and helpful vets / techs / staff I have ever encountered. I would not trust my dogs with anyone else. They listen to your concerns and take the time to go over options with you. Dr. Sieben clearly loves what she does and has a depth of knowledge you will want on your side. Dr. Stark is wonderful too. Every single tech I’ve ever interacted with is lovely, and the front staff are even awesome.

SO GLAD I DIDN'T PUT DOWN A HEALTHY CAT. Please if I were you I would not go to this vets office and I certainly will not go back nor recommend them ever. I went here with my cat who was dragging his legs and wanted to get him in quickly and the emergency vets are having issues staying open and with staff so I was able to get him in here where my sister had gone. When the vet came in she said my cat was very sick and really needed to be put down. He is a stray I been caring for I side for 6 years so I told her I wasn't going to put him down right now. She said it can become costly for tests and treatment so she would work up amount for him to get x-rays and blood work. She came back with $950.00 and I explained to her I was just laid off waiting on unemployment i also just had my dog and another cat to the vet along with 2 furnaces out and a water heater so was there any way we could do either blood work today and x-rays in a week or vice versa and she said NO. I was like what do you mean no you can't split them up? She said no this way we get the whole picture at once. I said I understand that but I can do it all but it will have to be in a week from now and again adamantly she said NO i said anyway we can cut down on some of the lab work or x-ray views and again NO but she can give him steroids and a pain shot and antibiotic shot and send him home for $308.00 is what happened. The next week I was able to get into my vets who did x-rays and checked for leukemia that came back fine except hip dysplasia and being they were half the price of this vet they did his blood work and it was fine. So my vet gave him a shot for arthritis and we are working with him to walk I think he is afraid of the pain. So I'm really glad I didn't put him down at Holly Farms. A day or so later they called to see how things were and I explained they don't need to call back because I definitely won't use them again and I explained to the girl who called I definitely wouldn't put a new patient with this vet because you may lose a lot of patients. She also informed me I me if I wanted to make an appointment for just blood work she could do that and I told her no thanks you missed that chance yesterday when she wouldnt do that. So please find another vet because she wanted to put down a cat that only had hip dysplasia. I really want believe the way they did and treated me and neither can people I speak to. I have to ever heard of vet to do that. I have money in a house I'm flipping, just paid $330.00 for my dog, $532.00 for my cat $980.00 for furnaces and now only $308.00 here so far for my cat. But I'm glad I got everything done and he's healthy except his hip dysplasia. Best of luck to you all.

We have had our pets taken care of by this superior veterinary clinic/hospital for years. We recently got a puppy and took her to VCA today. The entire staff is second to none. The doctor(s) and technicians understand patient care to the upmost. Thank you VCA!

I just started taking my cat to VCA. They are really great with their patience, very knowledgeable and care about the well being of animals. I felt that my cat was well taken care of however I wasn’t okay with finding out about the pricing being so much just for a stool sample to be sent out. Was told it would $60 and I go to find out $80 was taken without my knowledge and that I had to call them about it. (Was over the app) I know they offer a program but I’m not gonna spend on a program monthly when I don’t take my cat to the vet as often as most people as he doesn’t really need to see the vet 24/7. I do like the staff and they’re great but it’s just pricey. Ask questions before paying if you have to so you’re not going on the bank or the app and finding out more was taken out without your consent.

Long review, TW: Pet Death “Grief is perhaps the last and final translation of love. This is the last act of loving someone. And you realize that it will never end.” - Ocean Vuong I can’t thank VCA enough for what they did for me and my family. We took our cat to another vet, far from home, initially, because they accepted our godawful pet insurance. The news was bad. Very bad. We took him home for one last day of all the love and scritches, and all the treats he wanted. We cried a lot. We called VCA the next day, and told them our situation. They managed to get us in same day. We had to pay for another exam (good, I don’t want to be able to pay money to kill a healthy cat), and they confirmed our initial vet’s findings. It was time to let our precious boy go. The grace and kindness they showed us…incredible. I’m not exaggerating when I say the entire care team here treated me and my cat better than I could have imagined. I had been through my mother’s loss already at OSU’s teaching hospital, and I can’t stress enough: VCA treated me better about my cat’s passing than OSU treated me about my mother’s. They let us stay with him. They let us sing little songs and read poems to him as he left us. When we weren’t ready to go right away, they let us have another few minutes with his body. And, as we waited outside on the curb for our Uber home, we saw them carry him over to wherever his body would be kept until being transferred to the crematory. And here’s the thing: they carried him with such love. He was gone. And they had no reason to believe we’d still be watching. And [idk the vet or vet techs name] still carried him with such love and care, close to their chest. My memories here are terrible and painful, and I’ll still recommend VCA on Bancroft until I’m blue in the face. They were even understanding and kind when we struggled to get a ride to pick up his ashes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
