Preventive care
Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

I cannot express how grateful my husband and I are for this place and their staff. Our dog was in the middle of labor and some complications so we took her in during the night. The staff was so welcoming, caring and understanding. They made sure we were properly equipped with materials and knowledge before bringing our dog back home to finish her labor. They answered ALL our phone calls with a welcoming tone of voice. They never once complained about us calling what felt like every 2 minutes for an hour and they walked us through steps during the labor process when we were at home. I’ve been to multiple vets and even though this one is an ER and could be expensive they do not care about your money what so ever like other places. They care more about your pet than how much they are going to bill you. What could have turned into a thousand dollar visit at any other place, it was only a couple hundred here. Although I hope no one ever has to take their pet here, if you do end up in an emergency I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you to the staff for being so loving and caring to not only our baby, but to us as well.

Our 16 year old Mini Aussie (Sierra Doggy dog) had been on a steady decline, and we made the hard decision to bring her in on a Friday night. We called ahead and were taken straight back into a room, treated so tenderly by all of the staff & we had our old girl back home and back to the earth in under an hour. So grateful to the entire staff for making such a hard situation a little easier.

Cannot begin to express the gratitude I have for the staff here. Our kitty needed an emergency surgery on A Saturday, and nothing else was even open... We were scared. Doctor Bobby Huey and his Vet Techs were all so helpful during a time that was scary for us, and generally put our minds at ease with their care and professionalism. Bella and I thank you all so much! Bella is feeling better every day!

We have taken our dog here a couple of times. The staff here is very good with him. They treated him quickly and they really care about his well-being. They also forwarded their information to his regular vet, which I really appreciate.

Amazing staff, very compassionate and very informative. Traveled from Bakersfield on a Saturday morning because my pug puppy had a foxtail in his ear. After calling the majority of vets in town, Tulare-Kings Veterinary Emergency Services saved the day. They have you wait in your vehicle and call once they are ready for your fur baby. A million thanks to the TKES staff! 👏 Keep up the great work 👍
