What recent reviews say

Sploot earns consistent praise for knowledgeable vets who explain care clearly and treat anxious pets with genuine kindness. Staff like Dr. Thresher, Dr. Livia Wieringa, Dr. Ben, and Nurse Alexis are named for patient communication and compassion, with transparent upfront pricing and membership savings that reviewers value.

However, a small number of one-star reviews flag serious concerns: rushed appointments that skip the second pet in a paired visit, refusal to biopsy or pursue diagnostics on a potentially cancerous mass due to fear of "pet trauma," and slow invoice and communication follow-up. These gaps matter most for owners facing complex medical decisions.

Most visits feel stress-free and personal. Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Johnson, Dr. Robb, and Dr. Todd for treating anxious and reactive pets with calm confidence, explaining options step-by-step, and asking questions like a partner rather than a corporation. The Chewy app integration and polaroid wall of patients past add warmth. Pricing stands out as a friction point. Several mention the clinic is expensive, with surprise charges and a healthcare plan that layers fees. One detailed complaint alleged insufficient medication guidance (gabapentin side effects), slow response times to health concerns, and dismissive front-desk communication; the business reimbursed that visit, but the incident underscores higher stakes when cost barriers and communication gaps collide.

Owners consistently describe immediate intake, transparent explanations, and staff who treat frightening moments with both medical skill and genuine emotional support. The team excels at complex emergencies-urinary blockages, respiratory distress, prolapsed organs-and includes named vets like Dr. Sotiropoulos and Dr. Carrara; families report being allowed to remain with pets, receiving status texts during hospitalization, and finding staff equally attentive to multiple concurrent cases.

Vetco Vaccination Clinic

Vetco vaccination appointments run fast when the staff is present and warm, with prices that beat a full vet visit. But experiences vary sharply: some dogs felt unsafe, waits stretched without updates, and pricing remained hidden until checkout.
