I would like to thank Dr Kristy and the amazing team of KSAH for taking such good care of Odie ever since I got him 5 months ago.
Odie just got desexed 3 days ago and I was so worried. But Dr Kristy and the… nurses are so reassuring and addressed every concerns I had. It helps when Odie loves Kristy SO MUCH too 🥰. I even had a follow up call yesterday. As you can see on this picture, Odie has recovered so well and ecstatic after his morning walk. I’m a very grateful Mum 🙏🙏🙏💗💗💗

Hands down the best vet I have ever been to. What is usually a traumatic experience was so easy. My cat was so relaxed the entire time (he usually freaks out!) and prices are very reasonable. Dr Cindy is an absolute angel, thank you for being so kind and caring and brining my cat back to good health.

I just went for the first time, and the staff are fantastic. Very friendly and professional, and they went out of their way to make me and my pet feel welcome. I'd give them 6 stars if I could! Highly recommend

I took my tiny chihuahua puppy here with just a saw paw, but completely alert and healthy. By the time I got him home it had severe diarrhoea, couldn’t stand, foaming at the mouth and completely sedated! When I… called them asking if they were certain they hadn’t given him too much medication they couldn’t even prove to me that they weighed my puppy or show me any proof of the amount of pain relief that was administered. I bought him back for reassessment and the vet simply said ‘it’s better than him being in pain and suffering’. MY DOG WAS NOT SUFFERING
