Kentmere Veterinary Hospital

Been taking various cats here for years. I guess Dr. Coogan retired as I never see him anymore. Drs. Snyder & Ireland took over the reins I think. Both competent vets, both showing a willingness to listen to the pet owner before diagnosis. I would recommend this practice.

I was very pleased with the car we got from Dr Ireland. We took one of the older cats in for problems breathing through his nose. The doctor came in after a short, very reasonable wait and examined him. They did blood work but didn't push for more expensive advanced tests like a lot of vets do. I was very surprised when the vet herself called the next day to discuss the test results and see if i had any questions. She also asked that i call and give an update on his condition the next week. All in all, i would feel confident in bringing our pets here

Wonderful vet. I used another local vet for my last cat, while my partner used Kentmere for our dog. I switched my cat to Kentmere last summer, when my regular vet couldn’t get him in soon enough. He was diagnosed there with an untreatable cancer, and passed about a month after his first visit there, but the staff & Dr Ireland were absolutely amazing, so compassionate, during his last weeks. As soon as I adopted my current kitten, I didn’t even think twice, I chose to take her to Kentmere. Another thing I appreciate about them is their not hard selling Science Diet; my old vet pushed this SO hard on us, like every single ill could be cured by this food!

Kentmere has been caring for our animals for 20 years. Dr. Coogan and his staff have always offered thorough and compassionate service. We have never thought Dr. Coogan ordered unnecessary labs or advised unnecessary treatment. He has always been open and honest about what needs to be done. The support staff at Kentmere reflects Dr. Coogan's veterinary compassion and care.

Dr Coogan is and has always been the absolute world's best veterinarian. He always treated my babies as if they were his own. When Sweetie had a mass draining, found during a grooming, I immediately called Dr. Coogan and he worked me into his very overbooked schedule (same day) and gave me an antibiotic to make her comfortable. Sadly, for all of us who have looked to Dr. Coogan to compassionately care for our babies, the practice has been sold to another veterinarian. I needed to see Dr. Coogan 2 weeks ago, since my youngest baby was newly lethargic, and I scheduled an appt. The new staff (2) could not find my records!! I was then told that all the records had been deleted and I would need to be seen as a new pet parent!! Thus, my appt was cancelled with Dr. Coogan, per new owners rules, and my MUFFIN could not be seen for 3 weeks!! Needless to say, I was not and could not wait 3 weeks!! Sadly, Muffin has had labs, severely anemic, urine test, ultrasound and now pending a biopsy of lymph nodes which most likely is lymphoma. I’m already being advised of our options for Muffin as I do my own research as well…Unfortunately, Kentmere is disappointing decades long pet parents and patients, many who are also neighbors, and it is very sad.
