Wellness Exams
Annual and bi-annual wellness examinations help detect health issues early in pets. Our comprehensive checkups include physical assessments, vaccination planning, and individualized risk evaluations. By focusing on preventive care, we help extend pets' lifespans while reducing long-term medical costs through early intervention.

I've been taking my cat to this office for about 2 years now, and I have been impressed about the job they have done in taking care of her. They also give me helpful advice on what I can do to improve the health of my cat.

Dr. Exline was great with trimming my rabbits teeth, she is back to eating everything in site! He called before and after her light sedation, treatment and pain relief and was very caring, skilled and thorough. I highly recommend Dr. Exline and I will use them again as it can be difficult finding small animal/exotics veterinarians.

We took our little bird, Mulan, in too see Dr Exline. There are not enough kind words to describe our experience. The office was just like coming home. Dr Exline was so tender with our little bundle of feathers. He was very thorough in his examination. He took time to answer every question. Our bird seemed very comfortable in his care. That was so important. 5 stars aren't enough. Both my sister and I were amazed. We will definitely be back. The staff was incredible too.

Dr Melling is great. We're so grateful to have found her. She cares about our cats and has been helpful with integrating a new fur baby into our family.

Rebel went to the vet today for a green, snotty nose He got some antibiotics and should be just fine. They were able to get us a same day appointment, which I didn't expect. I just wanted to take a moment to thank the staff and especially Dr. Erdozain. He was the first vet who cared for our first dog and her weird stomach problems and has been super caring any time we have to make a visit. I really wanted a vet closer to home and did try out 2 other vets only to be disappointed, but I have made the decision to have KC Vet Care as our only vet regardless of the 25 min drive. They're reasonable with prices and honestly, you can't beat the level of care they provide.

Dr Kirkwood is amazing with our dog. She is patient even when our dog is super excited. The entire team is helpful in making sure our dog doesn't interact with other dogs. Kansas City Veterinary Care has also been amazing during Covid and helping make the curbside drop-off appointments easy.

One of the only places in KC to deal with rats. My little man had a foot injury. I called one day not expecting to get on for atleast a few days. They literally set me up same day only a few hours after my call. Got my rat looked at and he's doing great now. Back good normal ratty self. I would recommend this place to anyone who has exotic animals. The staff was pleasant and we got everything taken care of in a very timely manner.
