I called as soon as they opened because my dog injured his nail and they were able to fit me in an hour later. The vet tech, Adriana, was friendly, professional, and thorough. The vet, Dr. Kish, was also fantastic. We were in and out of office with the problem fixed in less than an hour despite the last minute appointment. The prices are reasonable and the staff are very upfront about them. Very grateful to have such a friendly, reliable vet office.
Special Friends Veterinary Clinic & Grooming. This is my first visit with my 15 yr old dachshund. They took great care of him and explained to me what he needs to get well. Thank you.
I love this place. They always take such good care of my girl. Mind you, my dog is 13. I took her in the other day because she’s been off and refused food, and today, she is running around like a puppy. Thank you for getting her in so quickly
The staff and the doctor were really attentive. They were able to answer all our questions and ease all our worries and concerns. First time coming here and I will be switching out vet to Special Friend veterinary clinic. Thank you
I was driving on Airport Blvd, heading south from East 6th Ave Saturday, July 26, 2025 around 5:50-6:10am. Right in front of the Veterinary Clinic, I saw a dead gray cat lying in the middle of the road. It looked like a medium-sized cat that got run over by a car. People kept driving by like they didn’t care. I stopped my car and gently moved the cat to a small tree and flower area near the entrance of the Veterinary Clinic. As I walked back to my car, I saw another cat nearby. The cat was alive and watching me. I think it knew the cat that died and wanted to help but was too scared. This made me sad. The Veterinary Clinic doesn’t have any good fences or gates to keep pets safe. Their gate is really wide, and even a skinny person or teenager could walk through it from the street. I wanted to call the clinic to tell them what I saw but they were closed. I was going to call back later but I got busy with work. I remembered to call after 3pm, but when I called, they were already closed for the weekend. They won’t open again until Monday. Still, I think they need to do a better job keeping pets safe. This doesn’t look good for them. UPDATED REVIEW – With Photo Proof on July 30, 2025: ⭐☆☆☆☆ I’m deeply disappointed by this clinic’s response to a serious situation. A medium-sized gray cat was killed on the road right in front of their building on Saturday, July 26, 2025 earlier in the morning hours. I stopped, picked up the cat, and gently placed them by the bushes and flower area at the entrance. You can clearly see this in the attached photos — the cat, the clinic sign, and the building itself. I returned on Monday morning, July 28th, and the cat was still there, untouched. It wasn’t removed until later that evening. I don’t know if the poor thing even got a proper burial. Instead of taking responsibility, the hospital manager, Brittany, replied claiming I had the wrong location and that they don’t have bushes or a gate. But the photos prove otherwise — everything is right there: the flower area, the wide open gate, the sign that reads “No act of kindness is ever wasted.” Sadly, they didn’t live up to that message. This wasn’t just about a dead cat. It was about how a veterinary clinic — a place meant to care for non-human friends, ignored it and then tried to deflect blame. That’s not okay. Living beings/fur babies deserve better. And so do the people who care about them. — Arjy
