Preventive care

This place has extremely rude and unprofessional desk staff. My first appointment I was pointed at and whispered about because they didn’t actually schedule my appointment when I confirmed and have proof in an email. So off to a good start. I already had anxiety bringing him in, this cat is my best friend. They squeezed me in, very rushed, paid full price for the appt. The vet was kind. I work a front desk and scheduling is very important, it’s how the clinic stays running. I also make sure that the atmosphere is comfortable for all walks of life that may come through my door. You never know what people are going through. I had two more experiences here where the front desk staff just has an attitude. Two of the visits I had witnesses with me too, my mom and a good friend. Strange place, I know people have bad days… but three visits? Bad taste left in my mouth. I will say both of the vets were kind, just didn’t feel like I left with much knowledge or understanding of what was going on.

I’ve been taking my cats to see Dr. Kay and Dr. Hospel for over 15 years. They are amazing, compassionate, veterinarians, and I am so glad they finally have their own beautiful vet clinic. It’s very clear that they truly care about animals, and they also work with local rescues. I highly recommend!

We began using Passion For Paws for our two cats when our former veterinary office was unresponsive to our needs and questions regarding our sick cat. I am so glad we found Dr. Kay. She and staff have been there for us through the diagnoses and ongoing medical care of that cat, the onset of Lymphoma, care, and passing of another, and Dr. Kay has been spectacular with our newest cat that hates being handled and needs regular nail trims. I have never worked with a vet as good, and calm, as she is in the face of a possessed monster like him. We have also worked with Dr. Hospel on a few occasions and she is also wonderful with the cats!

I've been using Passion for Paws for 2 years now, both vet and boarding services for my 11 year old cat, I highly recommend both!! My cat always gets compliments on his report card when picking up from boarding 😊

Wonderful local clinic! When my veterinarian on the east side of Madison retired, this lovely clinic took me in. I am always amazed at the way that the vet cares for both of my kitties. I have seen multiple doctors at this clinic, and I have to say they are amazing. The doctors truly care about your pets and want what's best them. We appreciate this clinic so much.
