St. Louis Cat Clinic Claimed

「My cat, Checkers, has special needs and has never enjoyed vet visits. I was amazed that he actually laid down on the table and seemed so much more calm than usual, even without gabapentin. This was also our first visit to the clinic as a new patient, so he didn’t know the area, people, or clinic. They made me feel heard and have made my cat feel very safe and at ease for the first time in his life and I can’t thank them enough for making my boy feel even a little comfort at a time when he’s always felt extreme fear and anxiety. Thank you guys for all you do, I’m so happy to have found a new clinic after our move to Missouri.」

「A few months ago my kitten became really ill (he has feline leukemia virus). Our old vet basically gave him a death sentence and sent us on our way with the usual treatment of antibiotics and steroids. I wasn't ready to give up and accept that answer without a second opinion. We suspected FIP, but our vet at the time was dismissive and was going to make us wait over a week to test for it. I called St. Louis Cat Clinic and they found time to see him quickly, tested for FIP (he was positive) and began treatment immediately. Had they not acted so quickly, it could have been too late for him. The ongoing care, support, and expertise has been phenomenal, even as other problems have arisen. They have been so thorough in communicating test results and recommendations. The absence of dog sounds/scents has definitely reduced vet visit anxiety for us. The whole clinic is designed to make cats feel comfy/safe, and the doctors and other staff are amazing – and truly "cat people." They do a phenomenal job of staggering the appointments so you almost never even encounter another cat. I think we were in the waiting room with another cat only one time and that was only for a couple minutes before we were brought into the exam room. We have visited 6 times in the last few months and each encounter has been as pleasant as the last. I cannot recommend them enough!」

「I had a great experience with this clinic! The staff, technicians, and vet were all very kind, and you can tell this is a place which truly loves and honors cats. They take pains to make the space feel homey and welcoming–it is a very pleasant, soothing environment (and my cat is very scared of dogs, so having a dog-free space was very helpful for her!) My kitty is very anxious at the vet, and the techs and vet did a great job of soothing her and putting her at ease (as much as is possible in that environment!) They were all very clear and helpful, and I feel confident my cat and her health are in excellent hands with them. Highly recommend!」

「My cat has moved around with me to several cities and we have been to many vets and this is by far the best. My girl just had a dental cleaning the other day and they updated me before and after the procedure. Dr. Howard was very thorough in explaining everything and educated me on certain things. I feel like when we go in for our appointments they are very informative and help me to be a better cat owner. Could not recommend them more!!!」

「Very rude and very expensive. My visit was about a year ago but it was such an awful experience that I think about it often. The vet was so incredibly rude to me and talked down to me as if I was an irresponsible cat owner. I have always taken my cats in for their yearly visit and followed every recommendation from my previous vet in Florida. This vet was so negative and rude in tone. Even though I disagree with what she was saying, my biggest problem is how she was saying it to me. I love my cats and will do anything they need to make sure they are taken care of. Also a wellness visit and vaccines for two cats cost me over $700. I did get the 3-year rabies shot for them, which I knew was going to drive up the price, but according to the internet it should have not been that expensive. Did go to a new to vet this year, had a wonderful experience. Didn't say anything about the other vet said. And only cost me $280 for the wellness check and one vaccine each for two cats. Granted didn't get a rabies vaccine, But even if we did, I don't think it would cost us an extra $500. Only giving them two stars because when I needed to get their records the reception was very nice and helpful.」
