Ive taken my cats here several times for small problems, urinary issues and vaccinations. I took both of them in last week to get their annual vaccines and physical exams and told the tech. that I had an upcoming vacation and that I would be boarding them and to give them any vaccines that she advised. When I asked her several times if it was recommended that they receive the feline leukemia vaccine, she said she would advise against it since I trusted her opinion as a professional, I did not get that particular vaccine. Low and behold, the most cost efficient boarder I could find requires that vaccine. I called Chesapeake Animal Hospital to make an appointment for the leukemia vaccine and I told them I was a tad discouraged that I had to pay another office visit when it was recommended that I didnt need the vaccine. I asked the office visit could be waived since my 2 cats were seen just last week and they said no. The technician then got on the phone and yelled at me. I told her that she was extremely rude and that was no way to speak to a customer. I immediately hung up and called another vets office, I explained my situation and they waived the office fee for me... even though they didnt do anything wrong. It really pays to listen to a customers needs and genuinely care about them and their pets. So if youd like to get belittled over the phone by a measly veterinarian technician and pay more for services that arent recommended, Id totally advise you to go to this place.

Let me start this off , I did not go to vet school so the care should be trusted on the vet. I use to be a long time customer with all the pets with animal hospital. HOWEVER, one of my cats begin to show unusual signs having trouble with his bowels and urine track. After doing nothing but a physical exam and a urinalysis. It was recommended to take him to the specialist at Blue Pearl. We followed the directions of the specialist. We never received a follow up call from Chesapeake animal hospital. Few weeks later I had to take my cat to different vet and immediately she knew there was a problem with his urinary tract. She went the extra mile and did an x-ray and seen that he had multiple crystals which prevented him from urinating. We tried to fix the problem but by this time it was to late. If Chesapeake Animal would have thought to look at the notes from blue pearl and paid attention just maybe there could have been a different out come. I short I believe there is a lack of knowledgable veterinarians. You are supposed to relay on them for the care of your animals. I mean that is their job.

Hands down the BEST vets I have ever dealt with. Dr. Kim was our vet on most occasions, but we also saw Dr. Neering. Both are very professional, honest, and caring! We have a beagle had back problems. After they did x-rays to show he had degenerative disc disorder they said he would eventually need surgery. The first 2 years he had problems, they did x-rays to determine the cause. The next few years they knew what the problem was, and didnt feel the need to spend a bunch of money on x-rays. However, instead of surgery they treated him with pain meds, steroids, and prescribed lots of TLC. After 5 years of this, our dog seemed to injure himself every spring, he had reached his limit. We took him to see Dr. Kim and they didnt charge us for the visit, he referred us to an orthopedic surgeon, and our pooch was taken care of. We have recently moved from VA to KS, and we are searching for our "Dr. Kim" here. I would HIGHLY recommend Chesapeake Animal Hospital. They arent the cheapest around, but I believe you pay for what you get.

As a new resident to the area, I am most thankful that I found CAH. The staff and the doctors are second to none. I adopted a rescue dog just prior to moving to Chesapeake. Unfortunately upon our first visit we learned he had a issue that needed immediate attention. Dr. Kim was amazing. He took time to explain everything to me, the different treatment options, and the best approach to treat the disease. He even ran out to the parking lot one evening to catch me before I drove off, so he could reassure me everything would be ok. Today my pet is in excellent health, and the doctors and staff at CAH are our second family. This is the absolute best place you can take your family pet!! They have been a blessing to me and my family :)

Over the past 20 years, I’ve taken all of my dogs to Dr. Brooks, Dr. Kim and the great staff of Chesapeake Animal Hospital. Whether it be for routine check-ups, surgeries or time of sadness, I have found them to always be compassionate towards the patients and owners. I can’t imagine taking my four legged children anywhere else. The love and respect that is show is what you would receive from a dear family member…and I am thankful to be part of theirs. I know my dogs are receiving the best care available. Thank you Dr. Brooks and Dr. Kim for always being there for our family and taking such good care of our four legged babies. You guys are the BEST!

We took our two Siberian Huskies here and had a good experience with both Vet care and Boarding. We didnt have to undergo any major procedures so I cant review surgeries or emergency care, but the cheerful staff and vets really seemed to care about the animals. The boarding facilities are good. They arent fancy, overly large, or anything special, but when you need a safe place to board your dogs for a short trip, this is a good spot. Our dogs came to really love a few of the staff especially and were excited to greet them each time we went.

I have taken my Shih Tzus to Chesapeake Animal Hospital for the past 19 years. All of the doctors and staff could not be more knowledgeable or caring. They know your pet is a member of your family. They have been with us all the way from the puppy stage until they have gotten sick and no longer with us. My pets have also gone to Cathie, the groomer, every week . She looks after them like they are her pets and always makes them beautiful too! It is comforting to know all of them are always there for you . Jeri

Since 1985, I have taken our dogs to Drs.Brooks, Kim, and Neering. The doctors, the staff, and the technicians all treat our dogs with caring, kindness, and knowledge. The office, boarding, and grooming is clean, professional, and welcoming. Groomer Cathie has the same caring, kind, professional manner. Carly, our dog, gets compliments on her good smelling, shiny coat and well cut nails. Through health and sickness, they have been there for us. by Jan Reed

I am grateful for the care my cats have received at the Chesapeake Animal Hospital The staff and doctors are always compassionate and take their time to explain procedures and options. Recently two of my feline companions have needed surgery. Both times I had complete confidence that the doctors had my pets best interest at heart Thank you to the doctors and staff for the care my cats have received over the years.
