Kennett Square Veterinary Hospital

We have four cats and take them all to KSVH. I have been pleased with the quality of service we (husband and I) have received for our cats here. I have been to vets before that try to swindle- not the case here. There is no extra charging for unnecessary items and I like the fact that you get an itemized bill. The staff is flexible and allows me to bring multiple cats in for appts at one time- which is great because it’s less trips I need to make with angry cats who do not want to leave the house. I can call the same day and receive refills for prescriptions for my cats. Also Dr. Barnsley is great at handling cats of all temperaments- whether docile, scared, or hostile- he is able to have a positive visit with them and get all the information to check if they are healthy. We also have had to do a few surgeries with our cats, and I was impressed with how fast KSVH saw our cats each time and how fast they came home. Highly recommend!

Doctor Barnsley is a fantastic vet. He relates to and cares for animals in a way most people can't. When he walks into the exam room he's more interested in talking to my pet than me and i wouldn't have it any other way.

Absolutely wonderful vet and veterinarian team. Dr. Barnsley is the only vet that my pack (2 dogs and cat) have loved going to visit. We were absolutely devastated when we lost Bella, our Great Pyrenees, who lived to a ripe old age of 13 under his care...unheard of for this giant breed. It was such a respectful, comforting and caring (but very sad) experience. When we brought our 19 year old kitty, Satchmo, in for a visit because he was losing weight and not eating, we were prepared for the worst. Dr. Barnsley diagnosed him with hyperthyroidism, sent us home with meds and special food. In his six week follow-up (and after Satchmo's first camping trip to NH), I'm happy to say his test results were great, and he also managed to gain a pound. If you're looking for a vet, look no more! Dr. Barnsley is wonderful!

Absolutely amazing vet and team. It is hard to find someone you trust your animals with. Dr. Barnsley is professional, caring, compassionate and loving to every animal that comes through the door. He and his team put in so much love and effort to make animals feel safe every visit and to make sure you understand everything happening with your animal. Many times we have had emergencies and they have always been able to fit us in. My family and I are so grateful to their team for all they do for our animals.

They squeeze every dollar they can out of you with a smile. Don't go here. These people fleeced me for years. Every time my cat got sick (2 to 3 times a year) they'd keep her for 2 to 3 days to "make sure she was eating" before sending her home. Went to another vet finally. New vet gave my cat an actual diagnosis because she ACTUALLY TESTED FOR CHRONIC HEALTH ISSUES based on how often she gets sick. Not just a normal blood panel, the doctor did what doctors are supposed to do and tested specifically for what she thought it was. They sent me me home with a prescription (enough for future flare ups as well) and instructions to treat the symptoms. She started eating again the next day. Now instead of dropping $900 three times a year I paid 400 to be taken care of for the entire year. Not to mention my cat doesn't get shoved in a cage for three days anymore.
