Animal Care Clinic Of Chillicothe, P.C.

Dr. Carol is amazing. She had my cat for 3 days due to a urinary blockage. I called after hours on a Sunday and they met me at the clinic. Her and her husband both took exceptional care of my baby. He is my child and they know it. They show love, respect, empathy, and they value your animal as if it were their own. There aren’t loops, schemes, or anything of the sort in her place of business. They are there for you and your pet! Giving you the best treatment plans and affordable pricing! Here you don’t just get what you pay for, you get more! Put your pets care in her hands. They’ve got you and your pets best interest at heart. I will be back with both of my boys for regular visits ❤️

After my family going to this vet for all of our animals for 11 years, including foster cats, and spending probably over tens of thousands of dollars at this clinic, she dropped us as clients. We had been seeing other vets recently who have more diagnostic tools that a small town vet simply can't have, or vets that my family has been using for decades for some illnesses or issues that have been ongoing with our pets. Apparently, she doesn't like second opinions and when I called, she said "Clearly you don't want us treating your pets" and "I'd reccomend you go back to limestone" for a rabies vaccination. That clinic is in Bartonville, and we live in Chillicothe. The funny thing is that if we were consistently visiting one vet she would have never noticed or cared, but since we asked for paperwork to be transferred over to multiple, she got upset. She is only one doctor, so we couldn't get second opinions within the clinic, hence why we often visited other vets. The issue I've been having with my dog (Ace) has been ongoing for several years, so she had been given plenty of chances for a first opinion on this illness that keeps coming back. Though we hadn't seen her in a while, she had examined this issue with him before. Anybody who has gone to Dr. Kluka knows that as long as a payment gets collected, she will not have a single complaint to make. If one of us forgot a card, we would always pay at a follow up visit and we never received a single upset remark. If she had a problem with this, she could have absolutely told us, but she didn't. The problem is that often we go long stretches without appointments, but again we were never told this was a problem. Anytime we forgot a card, the staff would say something along the lines of "don't worry about it just bring it in next time", and we always did that. When she did recently finally give us a call about one payment, nobody was upset, the payment was given, and the late fee was paid without complaint. We did have some issues with no shows, but given that both of my parents are disabled and have trouble with transportation, you'd think she would understand, and on the surface she did. Again, we never got a single complaint about this until the day she decided to drop us. 11 No shows implies 1 no show a year, and we do try our best to avoid them but life happens. We still visited animal care clinic by far the most, but will not be any longer. We'll be switching over to chilli vet.

Love, love, LOVE Dr Carol. She is wonderful with our little Bailey! Everyone in her office is super great! She is the most reasonable vet I've seen, and if she has sample medication she shares! Cheryl Farwell-Duckworth

I have to give a shout out to this clinic.. we just began going here as we moved back to the area. My dog sliced her foot open and I called and they worked me in as fast as they could. I know it was their lunch time and they didn’t even hesitate giving that up to work my baby Im for emergency surgery. They had the best attitude and I know they did all they could for me with the cost of it. Highly recommend and this is why I love supporting these small hometown vets. They actually care! Thank you thank you thank you!

Carol and her staff are literally the best. We have been going there since moving to Chillicothe. The pricing is just right for us to get our fur kids the care they need without going broke. They always are happy and eager to see our babies. We have three dogs and she is very knowledgeable about each breed and tells us what’s best for them but also keeps in mind finances. When our shepherd tore off his paw pad, she worked him in right away and even gave us her cell number in case we needed her after hours. Love all of the staff
