242 Animal Hospital

Dr Kottenstette and family/staff have provided excellent care for my 2 dogs and 2 cats. They are convenient, accommodating, and go out of their way to make animals and people alike feel comfortable and safe. The care has been exemplary, albeit more expensive than some. These past 2 years I have had to seek less costly routine care for my pets , due to challenging economic conditions.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I know there are some negative reviews, but I have to share my experience— 242 animal hospital is truly a gem. Dr. K is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also kind, compassionate, and genuinely devoted to his patients. The entire team, including his wonderful family, is friendly, professional, and understanding. They always go the extra mile to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and cared for. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my cats. I’m beyond grateful for the love and dedication this team shows every single time. Thank you for all that you do—you truly make a difference!!!!

This was my first time to use 242 Animal Hospital. I will be using them again. We took our chihuahua because we thought she might have gotten into chocolate. They took us right in, researched the chocolate and let me know she would need at least 3 bars to hurt her. Eased my mind she would be ok and didn’t need any treatment. Thank you for taking us right in and taking care of my baby.

Most veterinary clinics won't treat or even agree to see newborn, day-old kittens. But this clinic did, with the utmost tenderness and patience. I am forever grateful to have found such a skilled and compassionate veterinarian. There are very few, if any, who would show such dedication and care for such tiny, fragile lives.

Highly recommended this Vet. The entire staff is very knowledgeable and very helpful. If you’re looking for an amazing Veterinarian this is the place. Holly is awesome!!

This is a bit of a story but it’s worth it. I ended up leaving an ER vet after being quoted 10k for surgery to remove a foreign object. As much as I wanted to save our dog, I couldn’t afford it. I took my pup home and prayed that he would make it through the night. It was a hard night of no sleep for anyone at my house. God blessed us with one more morning and I scrambled for an office that could help me save my kid’s dog on a Saturday. You wouldn’t believe how we were treated. Everyone was too busy and couldn’t make time to even see us. After being rejected by many clinics, this one said yes. Not only did they say yes, they were kind, affordable, and made time in a busy day to try to save our baby. In the end it was heartbreak; a mass that could not be removed. He was Only 2 years old, and my kiddo’s very first dog.. I thought they would grow together. We elected to not wake our best friend up from surgery. We wanted to let him pass comfortably. God took our most perfect dog to heaven but I have been given the chance to let everyone know that this clinic, and crew, are amazing. If you’re looking for an intelligent and experienced vet, with kind staff and affordable pricing, this is the place. Thank you staff from the bottom of this Momma’s heart. You are truly appreciated.

We have used 242 since right after they opened. Great vet, great staff, quick appointments times and LOVE they are open on the weekends. Makes it easy for ppl who can’t get into M-Saturday appointments. Absolutely recommend! 💗
