Whatley- Kinney Veterinary Clinic

I had been using this Vet for 10 years and the quality of service has always been off and on, not very consistent at all. The second to the last time I went, I was asked to bring in a fecal sample to test for worms for my dogs. I could see the worms in the sample, but the tech's behavior was as if she was so grossed out from taking a sample that she did not an adequate amount and the test came back negative for worms. She hurriedly through out the sample so there was no chance to have another tech help us. I left and ended up going to out secondary Vet a few days later with another sample and my dog did indeed test positive for worms and was treated. Our last visit here was the final, we brought our new puppy in to get her puppy shots, and ear looked at for an infection. We overheard the counter ladies discussing another clients account when they said, " Just charge her the $200 max price, she always pays with no question". We waited over half an hour after showing up to our appointment five minutes early with just us in the waiting room. Once in the examination room the Vet barely look at our animal and said she probably had an ear infection and with her puppy shots it'd be... $200, we left right then and there.

We appreciate Dr. Kinney, Elaine & the entire staff who has been taking care of all of our dogs since 2002, when we moved to Rome. We came with adult dogs then added puppies who started their care at Whatley Kinney. We have had some strange things happen to them from getting air-lifted by a hawk to kicked in the head by a horse then finally cancer 😡, Dr. Kinney has seen us through every step & still is. The loving care & compassion that they all provide assures me that taking all my babies to Whatley Kinney is the best choice for us! We love & appreciate all of the staff, including new ones who have joined ❤️

I took my dog, Olive, to this practice when she wasn't eating, drinking, and her back legs were splaying. She was also walking with her back toes folded under at times. The staff was friendly! They treated my girl very well with compassion and sweetness! They were able to diagnose, take bloodwork, and send her home with medications and recommendations within an hour. They offered me tissues when I cried. I would definitely take her back! Also, my pooch pooped in the exam room out of nerves and they cleaned it up and told me not to worry about it...it happens. They care about pets! Happy to report that Olive is feeling better already. The puffiness in her face has gone down. Her appetite and thirst have returned and she's running around like she used to!

Very friendly staff and great Vet. They were very clean and thorough with my cats treatment and care. A little expensive but it's definitely worth the peace of mind knowing my animals are taken care of and not misdiagnosed. They take care credit so there are payment plans available. I really like this place and I'll be back.

Great, friendly, knowledgeable folks. Never been to see them before. I called on a Monday and they were able to help my hurt dog a few hours later! Thanks so much!
