Absolutely amazing facility. The front desk receptionist was helpful, caring and recognized urgency on a gastrointestinal issue with our dog. All of the staff was helpful and sweet. Dr. Alden knew almost immediately what the dog had and went through the steps of diagnosis with us carefully and quickly. She made sure that we knew the next steps and confirmed the diagnosis with quick testing and factual data. She was extremely professional and made sure we were aware of every step along the way. The animal hospital linked with an overnight vet down the road and made the transition seemless since the dog had to stay somewhere overnight and needed 24 hour watch. We couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. The level of support that Kingston Animal offered was off the charts and we are so grateful that we took our dog there.

This is a great veterinary clinic! They have been so helpful in getting my babies their care. They have been friendly, accommodating, and show compassion towards my as he needs his on going medical treatment.

Amazing experience: clean nonsmelly facility, friendly nonjudgmental staff, split waiting rooms. We had a visit with Dr Alden for our two large reactive-at-the-vet dogs, and Dr Alden calmly and strategically worked with me to get my guys taken care of. She knew exactly how to manuever the appointment with our reactive dogs, like avoiding eye contact with them, and truly caused mininmal stess for them. Dr Alden was patient, kind, super informative, answered all of my questions and then some, and most importantly, made sure that my pups were comfortable during the visit while still making sure we got what we had to get done. When confirming my appointment, the receptionist told me that she thought I'd be really happy with Dr Alden, and she was right! And shout-out to Antonio for all the help and information and talking through my guys' history and keeping such great detail.

The usual great service and compassionate care from Dr. Turner and the techs and staff. They not only took good care of my sweet cat, Blu, but they did the same for me. Been bringing my pets here for over 20 years with Dr. Rugg and other fine doctors on staff. Always know they are looking out for the best interests of my 4 legged companions.

We have been clients of Kingston animal hospital for over thirty years. The Doctors and staff have treated all of the cats we've had...and there have been so many with varying health issues. They have always treated both the animals and ourselves with respect and compassion. We especially love Dr Rugg and Dr Alden.We would highly recommend this clinic to anyone who loves their pets!
