Veterinary Emergency & Specialty Hospital of Wichita

I rushed my beloved kitty in from 67 miles away on late Saturday night and I was absolutely beside myself. From the front desk, to the nurses, to the Dr and everyone else there, I want you to know that everyone of you helped us in such a horrific time. And even though I lost my Binx, I know you did everything you could to help him and keep him comfortable while I made the decision to end his suffering. The compassion and care you showed me and my baby, was truly a blessing in that time. Thank you for the tough job you do and the love you show to both four legged and two legged beings.

Today was one of the hardest mornings of our lives, and I can’t express enough gratitude for the care we received. Dr. Townsley was compassionate as hell. She was gentle, honest, and gave us exactly the guidance we needed without rushing or pressuring us. Every explanation came from a place of empathy, and that mattered more than I can put into words. The front desk associate deserves a special shout-out for holding steady when I absolutely could not. Her calm presence was the rock-solid start I needed walking into something so overwhelming. Every staff member we encountered was patient, soft-spoken, and made us feel genuinely prioritized. They treated our girl, and us, with dignity, kindness, and respect from start to finish. End-of-life decisions are devastating, but this team handled ours with integrity and grace. We felt supported every step of the way. Thank you for honoring our baby and for taking such tender care of our family when we needed it most. We will never forget it. 💔🐾 — Elise & Michael

I called Veterinary Emergency and Specialty Hospital of Wichita because they were the only place open on a Saturday in the middle of a snow storm - and my little dog was so sick - he was vomiting blood. I cried on the phone when I called - they were so kind. Sent me a link to sign him in - super easy process. Texted me when it was time for him to come see the Vet - when we got there it was a short wait, everyone was kind and encouraging. My dog was not dying - thank you God! He had a touch of pancreatitis. They gave him meds, fluids, and offered to keep him, but said it was safe for him to go home if we kept an eye on him brought him right back if he didn’t improve or got worse. Wow. Could not ask for kinder people. It cost some money for sure - but not as much as I feared, and he was worth every penny. Sick puppy Care $$$ Happy healthy fur friend - priceless.

I brought my dog Apollo to this animal hospital early in his DCM journey, before it progressed to congestive heart failure. By that point, he had already been seen by three different veterinarians, and I was looking for clarity and support. The veterinarian we saw was knowledgeable, compassionate, and took the time to explain what to expect given his condition. She provided an appropriate interim intervention to support Apollo until we could see his primary vet and a cardiologist, and she shared helpful information on supplements and supportive care. I’m very grateful for the guidance and care we received during such a stressful time.

I was so impressed with the whole experience! Everyone was very nice and understanding, check in was super simple, and I was given cost effective options. My baby girl did not have to suffer through the weekend, and I was in great relief when we left.
