The Kindness staff is always professional, kind, and caring. We have been taking our large dog to Kindness for 10 years, and we have never had a bad experience. I would recommend Kindness to anyone who has a pet that they care about deeply.

Kindness has provided excellent care to our two cats for many years. They do a nice job with their covid protocols and have been flexible with scheduling.

Great vets and staff, but I am super disappointed to learn that they are canceling their Saturday hours in the new year, and only offering appointments between 9:30am and 5:30pm! It’s hard for some of us to take time off during the work day to update shots and other routine needs - especially if you them have to commute to/from downtown DC. Not building in any flexibility during the week for clients sends a clear message.
I’m sad to have to move on.

They're very Pricey ... They take advantage. Called to make an appointment the other day. My dog is sick. Girl took all my info. Said she was new someone would get back to me. No.one ever did get back to me. Never was overly pleased there. Not the first time there have been communication issues there. Tends to always be something quirky there. Alot of times they tell you to just keep calling back everyday right at 8:00 am. Like what is that. Appointments seem to be a challenge there. I went somewhere else.

Excellent hospital. Extremely professional and personable, a rare combination. They've been taking care of my pets for over 20 years. They are always bringing in new therapies and treatments to keep my animals healthy and happy.
