They need to be more patient with my dog. they acted angry because my dog was a little hard to handle .being scared and older dog. That made me fairly angry. I wouldn't recommend taking your dog there...

Dr. Mendoza is a very good vet. One of my dogs was having an issue with passing blood and they got him in right away. I would definitely recommend them.

Kudos to the staff of Emporia Vet Hospital. A special shout out to Dr. Mendoza who has taken great care of our dog diagnosed with GME 4 years ago, a diagnosis which is a certain death sentence if not treated properly. And most recently, Dr. Gordon and Vickie who took great care with our 6 month old puppy after a fall and more importantly showed a lot of patience with a panicked mama. :)

We are in town for my husbands work, and our 3 dogs needed their yearly shots. This office got us in quickly, were so efficient, and had us in and out super quick. Very affordable and the vet actually listened to my concerns, and answered any questions I had. He was also AMAZING with my dogs (even one that is super skittish) the entire staff was so nice and welcoming! Great place.

Wouldn't take our pets anywhere else. They also come to our family's ranch. Dr. Gordon and staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

THIS VET KILLED OUR DOG DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. PLEASE READ.
We left our yorkie here to be kenneled. He didn’t even survive 24 hours. They refused to take the harness that I had brought for him and said they had the correct equipment. They told me the college student who was walking my dog outside had an accident and the dog got ran over. They don’t have a fenced area for pets or cameras to keep everyone accountable and they are super close to a heavily trafficked road. They were rude and had no compassion for our grieving family. I have been coming here for a long time and I can’t believe

We were traveling across country when one of our dogs got really sick. They did an amazing job at a very affordable price. They got us back on the road in short order. I could not recommend them more.

I took one of my cats in for a dental cleaning. When they called to "update" me, they let me know that they had pulled almost all of her teeth. They pulled these teeth without my permission. My cat is not even five years old. If they had called to discuss the problems with me and to get my permission, I would not have been upset. But they didn't.
I took my other cat in to get spayed. When I got her home, she and her kennel were completely covered with pee. They didn't warn me of this or tell me to bring a towel.

Refused emergency care for a horse in distress. They advised to, "let nature take it's course". Not compassionate.

We took our dogs there for this first time to get their nails trimmed since covid. We have had their nails trimmed two other places in the past. Emporia Veterinary Hospital exceeded our expectations!!! We will be going back for other pet services:)

Very compassionate and knowledgeable vets/techs that care about the well being of all my pets, cost conscious and take the time to explain everything and answer questions without making you feel rushed no matter the time of day.

My husband took his cat Tygurr there so we could get him fixed and they took good care of him and had him ready to go by 4 pm. I know the clinic was clean and the staff were friendly. The only thing I could of wished for was maybe a bigger waiting area because when Tygurr heard a dog making noises, he got spooked and almost got away from my husband. They should have the dogs on one side and cats on the other. I know now that he's fixed,( Tygurr that is), he still seems hyper as ever if not more but he's still a loving kitty. Thank you Emporia Veterinary clinic for fixing our cat.

Called on a Monday morning to set up a nail trim for my senior dog. Could of had an appointment that day! We saw Dr. Mendoza. He's very knowledgeable, and has a calmness about him. My baby girl doesn't like… most men as she was a dumped dog which I rescued 10 yrs ago. We went in for a nail trim only, but he noticed her bad skin irritation. We discussed the situation, and he recommended a steriod shot along with a new flea prevenative. Best thing ever!!! My baby girl is feeling much better, and not scratching herself anymore! Very friendly staff, quick professional visit. We only went in
