San Jose Animal Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

The staff, including the doctor are very compassionate and genuinely care about our fur babies! Thank you Dr Kempa for your care and support through Hercules journey of senior life.

Dr. Carlene Kempa, DVM, is my service toy poodle, Inky's, veterinarian. She is very, very gentle and sweet with my baby, as is the entire staff here at SJ Animal Hospital. I had to have my Inky get her FAVN test (good for 3 yrs and takes up to 2 months to receive results back for) and health certificates as well as tick treatments for our trips to Hawaii and she did so well, as little as she is. There are separate non-domestic certifications for International travel and country specific import health check requirements and documentation for travelling abroad. DOT Forms must be presented separately at every airport check-in for every single flight, even connecting flights. **A beautiful thing; the clinic allows people to post missing pet flyers on their wall, which is just great of them to do, though sad to look over. If you find any wandering pets please either call or bring them into your local animal shelter for them to be reunited with their families. Definitely would recommend this clinic to any pet parent.

Very nice place to recommend. I scheduled appointment for vaccination and examination for my cat. Their stuffs were super friendly and kind. Clinic space is very clean and comfort. They allowed us to get into the treatment room with my cat, which my previous clinic doesn't allow during the vaccination. I love that part. Dr. Stone is very professional and kind. The assistant gave us cat treats and catnip during the examination. I bet my cat had a super happy time during this vet visit. Recommend and will come back if any problem happen.

I'm very happy with SJ Animal Hspital. After adopting a pet cat, I brought my pet to SJ Animal Hospital for an initial check-up, and we returned a year later for his annual check-up and vaccination. It was very easy to make and appointment. Both visits went well. All of the staff was friendly and my pet received the care and attention he needed. I will definitely use this place for future visits.

I have the best experience coming to this vet office. Dr. Stone been there through 2 of my animals. Dr. Stone and his assistant Carolina are amazing and attentive. They are very patient and gentle with my senior dog Jabba. Dr. Stone always opens the space to discuss any concerns or even just swap a few great stories. We never feel rushed out of the office. Coming to our vet visit feels more like an experience rather than an obligation. I will absolutely be coming to Dr. Stone for the remainder of my pets life. And Jabba is going to live as long as I do 😉
