Katonah Bedford Veterinary Center

I brought my 12 year old french bulldog in last night for breathing issues due to the humidity and poor air quality we've been having this summer. This was the second time we had brought our animals there. I cannot say enough about the amazing treatment my dog received. Dr. Ball was the emergency vet last night and he was extremely kind and very thorough. I called him again a few hours after we got home and he answered all my questions and put me at ease. Dr. Ball even called me tonight to see how my girl was doing and was pleased to hear she was doing much better. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Exceptional care and staff and I would highly recommend! A big shout out to Dr. Ball for being a caring and compassionate doctor! Thank you!

Brought my bulldog here for a bleeding fingernail after clipping, nothing serious at all. My dog was brought into a room for 30 minutes without us and a nurse comes out and says we had him in front of a fan does he do this a lot maybe it’s best you guys take him now followed by front desk buzzing the nurses over an intercom that payment has been made before he can be sent out from the back. I get my dog back in the car and he is literally on deaths doorstep gasping for air. I’m truly surprised my dog didn’t pass away, it took over an hour for him to fully wind down: Not once did they mention this to us while we waited. Wildly negligent isn’t an apt enough description. I almost had my dog die over a finger nail bleeding. For 350 dollars they basically put cornstarch on his paw and let him get so worked up he was minutes from dying. Unbelievable.

Dr. Z was wonderful, unfortunately saw her with 2 different pets in the same week and she was absolutely fantastic both times. Quick, helpful, down to earth, and a great doc - realistic and transparent with treatment recommendations. Couldn't say enough good things.

We ended up here with our 3 year old French Bulldog Penelope after she choked on a small piece of Apple the Friday before Christmas Eve which threw her into a respiratory crisis. She originally was at the Yonkers Animal Specialty center but we had to transfer her up to VCA Christmas Eve because they did not have any vets on staff Christmas Day. Christmas Eve night Penelope’s condition was declining when I received a call from Dr Kim Helmbold who had just started her shift and saw Penelope’s case and immediately called me to discuss a treatment plan as up to this point she was being pumped with steroids and antibiotics which were not helping, no other vets that assessed Penelope had any solutions to offer up to this point . Dr Helmbold suggested we do a scope to look at Penelope’s airway , sure enough once she went in to look she discovered Penelope’s soft pallet had become so enlarged from the choking episode that everytime she took a breath it was being sucked up into her airway. Dr Helmbold was able to push the pallet back into place which allowed my baby to breathe freely! Overnight Penelope made huge improvements and was able to come home that Monday after 3 nights in the hospital! Dr Helmbold’s expertise and assertiveness saved my baby’s life. If it wasn’t for her I’m afraid this could have been fatal for my little girl! I cannot thank the VCA enough ! Dr Helmbold and Dr Hilliard were absolutely amazing and although I hope to never have to go through anything like this again, I know where to go if another emergency ever arises!
