Review:

The doctors and staff are very pleasant and the place is nice and clean.
The facility was super clean and the rooms were nice and cold.
I paid $186 for a meaningless, careless, unprofessional diagnosis.

Local Medical Issues
Hawaii can be fun for everyone! However, for our furry friends, the warm climate can increase the risks for heat stroke and heat exhaustion as well as several other life-threatening medical conditions. Take water with you on long hikes, and don't keep your pet in the car or enclosed space for long periods.

The weather also has minimal impact on the life span of insects, so diseases that rely on parasites are going to occur year-round. The most significant parasite in both dogs and cats is heartworm disease. It can be transmitted to indoor and outdoor pets via a single infected mosquito bite. All Hawaii dogs and cats should be on a monthly heartworm preventative. Other parasites such as fleas and ticks and internal parasites thrive year-round as well, and can also transmit diseases. Regular wellness visits and tests and talks with your veterinarian can help with the prevention and control of these pests.

Allergies are also a year-round issue due to the higher pollen counts and warmer climate, making some bacterial and yeast infections very persistent. Pets may need supplements, medications and special diets to help control their allergies more than if they lived in cooler climates.

Enjoying our warmer climate along with the rest of us is the dreaded Bufo Toad. This strange inhabitant secretes a toxin through its skin that can cause serious, life-threatening complications if a pet licks or ingests even a small amount. Immediate medical attention is required by rinsing/washing the mouth and then seeking emergency care at a veterinary hospital. Keep your pet on a leash during walks and check your yard regularly for Bufo Toads before allowing your pet to play.

Comment/Review

D.W. I highly recommend pet care services at VCA-Kaneohe, because of my experiences there over the past 2 years have been positive. Most recently, my 12-year old Australian Cobberdog, Teddy Bear developed a left lateral hind paw toe cancer. Fine needle aspirate indicated cancer, type not able to be specified. Dr. Koperna performed a toe amputation on Thu 9/8/22. Dr. Koperna called me when the procedure was completed and explained discharge instructions in detail and answered my questions. The Vet Techs and office staff at VCA-Kaneohe were very professional and caring of Teddy. He had his first post-op follow-up appt and his amputation site is healing well. Teddy remains very comfortable with all VCA-Kaneohe staff.

R.M. Dr. Hester and the VCA Kaneohe family has been so awesome to our new puppy! Everyone that has interacted with our puppy has done so with care, compassion and overall enthusiasm for him. What was specifically impressive was when we had a slight scare with our furbaby at 10:30 at night; we used the vet chat (told us nothing to be alarmed for) and within minutes, we got a text from Dr. Hester asking how he was doing and gave us a plethora of tips to use.. We greatly appreciate Dr. Hester and the staff at VCA Kaneohe and look forward to continually working with them through our furbaby's happy, healthy life.

P.D. I had a little freak out with my 6 month old puppy after her spaying. It was Sunday and I was worried. The staff was professional. They were quick but not rushed. The receptionists, the techs and the doctor were kind and reassuring. We learned that my puppy was doing great and going to be fine. After all of that the price for their services was very reasonable. I fully recommend VCA Kaneohe. Thank you.

B.B. Dr. Jason Gray was Amazing! We recently had our (not quite 2 year old) cat fall ill on a Sunday. VCA was able to see us the same morning and we barely waited at all. The facility was super clean and the rooms were nice and cold. (bring a sweater). They have a variety of quality pet food, snacks and toys to browse if you find yourself waiting on results and they even offer free coffee (an added bonus). The technician/assistant Sandra was also wonderful. She was very up front about the fees and explained what each test was for and why the Dr. wanted them. As we prepared to leave Torie explained how to give the meds to Koko & was also beyond patient, informative, and kind. After leaving, Dr Gray called 2 days in a row to check on our cat & made sure we knew the final results of our testing. We just moved to the island and will definitely be going back for any other pet needs.

M.W. A little pricey but isn't everything in Hawaii! Super friendly staff, super clean facility and always able to get a quick appointment. They cleaned my fur babies teeth and took really hood care of him. Was able to get a quick health certificate with short notice. Lots of great pet products for purchase as well. One stop shopping for your beloved pet ?.
