Pennell Veterinary Clinic

Friendly, very efficient and all staff loves all animals.
The vet treats your pet as if his own.

Doc isn't a mushy-gushy vet but he is compassionate and kind and seriously knows his stuff. I still drive an hour each way to take my dogs to him because I trust the clinic and know they'll get great care at a reasonable price. The rest of the team is wonderful with the dogs and so good with me as a worried pet parent .

I moved away, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. My dog needed a surgery and they were able to take care of her quickly as other places near me were a month out

I brought my cat here last year like four different times. Each time Dr. Syken looked at my cat for five mins. I was not allowed in due to the pandemic. He refused to do blood work snd every time kept giving me false diagnoses based off of assumptions. I took my cat to media cat hospital and they drew blood . Turns out my cat was in kidney failure.… Had we of found this a year ago maybe it wouldn’t have progressed. My cat is now on appropriate medication. I do not recommend Pennell vet to anyone . He charged me astronomical amounts of money solely based on assumptions and false testing

I am convinced that most of the positive reviews here were made by Pennell. Let me take you back to this time last year. My gf cat started having accidents outside the litter box, so after a recommendation we decided to take him to Pennell. After the first visit we were told it could just be a worm and to give him medicine that they prescribed. That didn't help so we took him back then it was "well let's test for worms". Then on the follow up it was constipation and they wanted to see him again in a week. After the third visit is when I lost it we ask multiple times for them

Positive: Professionalism, Quality
Great veterinarian practice. Doesn't nickle and dime you like the others, very professional and great with the animals.

Dr. Syken is a terrible veterinarian who establishes his treatment plans on instinct and assumptions. Because of Syken's apathy, and lack of appropriate diagnostic methods, a splenic tumor (which would have been detected 3+ weeks earlier had Dr. Syken not assumed she had 'disc disease') within my dog ruptured, requiring an emergency splenectomy.… One week he tells me my dog is collapsing because she "tweaked" something, the next week he says she has Disc Disease, all said based only on his 'instinct.' For three weeks he charged me with incorrect, useless treatment. Had I continued with Dr

All the staff is very helpful and the service is excellent. They really care about your pet.

They took our cats here for dermatitis and it was a great experience. we were very nervous to take our cats to any vet and these guys were very friendly and professional. They took the cats quickly, found the issue right away, and put them on a treatment plan. Now our cats are back to normal and we are so grateful for all their help!

We have been taking our dogs to Dr. Syken for the past 20 years. Dr. Syken is great with our dog and always fixes him right up. The office staff is wonderful as well. Highly recommend Pennell Veterinary Clinic

Tonight we had to say goodbye to our sweet Kerri Rayne. Dr Syken was there for her in the beginning at about 6 weeks old and he was there for her at the end 13 years plus. He has a heart of gold and showed such compassion and love to our Kerri Rayne. We cannot thank him enough for the love he showed to us and our Kerri Rayne at the end.

Online appointment request doesn’t get checked often. Shouldn’t have this service if you aren’t going to utilize the service.

Bella loves all the staff and Dr. Steve has been her vet from 12 weeks to now. Rely on them to give my furbaby the best care.

I just can't say enough about Doc Syken and all of the staff. They are always professional and spot on. I'd like to give them a 100 star rating.

I have been taking my pets to Dr.Syken for 20 years...he is very reasonable in price and doesn't hold back, gives you his best opinion. He has never steered us wrong and our pets have had some challenges. Dr.Michelle is not my favorite but her care has been good.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I could not disagree more with the negative reviews posted here. Dr. Syken has been my vet for 8 years. Previously, I visited vets who booked multiple appointments at the same time as mine, then had me and my dog wait in a treatment room while they visited with other pets until our 'turn' rotated around again. There was absolutely no respect given to my time, only theirs.
Conversely, at Pennell Vet, you are given an appointment time and the vet - whether Dr. Syken or his associate - sees you at the appointed hour .. not 15-30 minutes afterward

This office is so gross! There is animal hair all over everything, including the chairs you sit in that are in the "Patient" rooms .... sooooo disgusting!

The last time we brought our dog here the doc stuck him with a needle and somehow she let it go! Our poor dog yelped as the needle was dangling and blood was trickling down our dogs back! My son had to actually leave the room, it was a traumatic experience that he still talks about to this day!

Aizawa, maybe Syken knows slightly more about dogs then you think.. considering having your dog fixed before 6 months can disturb his growth plates. I have been going to Pennell vet for over 6 years now, and have received nothing but quality care. I can agree that at times Syken can come off as a little cold, but at the end of the day I'm not seeing him for social hour, I'm seeing him because I know he loves, and takes really good care of my animals.

DO NOT COME HERE! My dog was treated as a burden more than a living animal from the one and only Dr.Syken, I have given him a few chances to redeem himself because everybody has their bad days. The first time he had my dog he was a pup, he was on his scale which sits about 3 feet from the ground, as he had him in his custody, he was careless and let him fall into the floor, then had the nerve saying he's fine, the second return, he was angry that I had my pup neutered at my dog's shelter and treated me as I betrayed him, then my final and last time he needed his bloodwork, while he attempted

Could not agree more with negative reports. Dr. Syken comes into the room and doesn't even acknowledge the pet owner. He misdiagnosed my dog's eye problem, resulting in him losing it when he finally referred me yo a specialty hospital after 8 months of wrong treatment. The staff are great, but Dr. Syken needs to retire. So uncompassionate. Also his colleague can't diagnose either. Thankfully I found a wonderful specialty hospital that took care of my little guy!
