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.

Everytime I take Sunny to see you guys she gets nothing but THE BEST care! I first saw Dr. Hanks when I first brought Sunny there as she had a horrific eye injury that other vets wouldnt help with or they wanted to remove her eye but I was referred to Dr. Hanks because he had a special intrest and experience with eyes. He was able to miraculously do surgery to save her eye and she received amazing care since day one. Although we were sad that he has since retired we are very happy to know he passed on his knowledge to his staff and Sunny is in great hands for her care. If it wasnt for the excellent care from you all Sunny would only have 1 eye. I always highly recommend you guys to everyone I know. Thank you all very much for being so amazing!

The receptionists are stellar! Adrienne is always so amazing with our pets (and people too!) Dr. Leighton took time with our kitten and made sure he felt comfortable (with treats, pets, and sweet talking :) The Kindred Spirit staff always makes sure our questions are answered~ appointments are never rushed. I had questions about our kitten's vaccinations and emailed Dr. Barry before our appointment. Dr. Barry, as always, got back to me quickly and thoroughly explained the vaccination protocol, which eased my mind! We love Kindred Spirits ~ it is like a little family. We always leave knowing our pets are receiving the best care!

I give this place a 10 out of 10! I have had many different house pets and farm animals for years. My best friend rooster, Ralph got bumblefoot and needed to be seen for an antibiotic and pain medication. Dr. Laura was one of the best that I've had an encounter with. Very caring, and thorough. Took her time to explain everything and actually showed interest in caring for my animal and not just the money. Such a great experience and I would definitely recommend them. They also got me in the same day that I called. The price was very reasonable also. All and all, a 10+ recommendation!!

Dr. Barry and his staff are so knowledgeable, kind, and compassionate. Often times they have to take their work home with them but as a pet owner I'm so thankful and they are worth every dollar. I have never met with unkind staff, never been met with anything less than exceptional treatment of my animal, and they have saved my animals life over and over for the last 5 years. I am so thankful for each and every one of them, including Dr. Hanks who has stepped in and cared for my other fur baby. My two cats are always in the best hands and I will recommend everyone and anyone to use their services, there's no one I would trust more.

I always feel that my dogs get the best care here. Dr. Barry is top notch and never seems in a rush, he is always there to listen to concerns and even gets on the ground with the dogs to make them comfortable. I am very thankful for all staff members for making us feel welcome.
