Whatley- Kinney Veterinary Clinic

We appreciate Dr. Kinney, Elaine & the entire staff who has been taking care of all of our dogs since 2002, when we moved to Rome. We came with adult dogs then added puppies who started their care at Whatley Kinney. We have had some strange things happen to them from getting air-lifted by a hawk to kicked in the head by a horse then finally cancer 😡, Dr. Kinney has seen us through every step & still is. The loving care & compassion that they all provide assures me that taking all my babies to Whatley Kinney is the best choice for us! We love & appreciate all of the staff, including new ones who have joined ❤️

Cheap euthanasia, but 250.00 for a simple cat neuter. Insane. I know about all the add ons, but I think vet care should cheapen after the vet has paid for their college? Seriously, I think we all have lost touch with the rising wages. Don’t come at me with this well you shouldn’t have a pet if you can’t afford it, i don’t take pets on Willy nilly. Appointment for neuter (JUST NEUTER) is supposed to be affordable so that we can control the population of cats. You wonder why there is an abundance of terrible felines with rabies…

Dr. Kinney and her staff are so kind and compassionate!! The level of care for my furr babies is outstanding! It is so easy to make appointments. They take their time and answer all of my questions. I have been a client since 2006 and still going strong!

I had been using this Vet for 10 years and the quality of service has always been off and on, not very consistent at all. The second to the last time I went, I was asked to bring in a fecal sample to test for worms for my dogs. I could see the worms in the sample, but the tech's behavior was as if she was so grossed out from taking a sample that she did not an adequate amount and the test came back negative for worms. She hurriedly through out the sample so there was no chance to have another tech help us. I left and ended up going to out secondary Vet a few days later with another sample and my dog did indeed test positive for worms and was treated. Our last visit here was the final, we brought our new puppy in to get her puppy shots, and ear looked at for an infection. We overheard the counter ladies discussing another clients account when they said, " Just charge her the $200 max price, she always pays with no question". We waited over half an hour after showing up to our appointment five minutes early with just us in the waiting room. Once in the examination room the Vet barely look at our animal and said she probably had an ear infection and with her puppy shots it'd be... $200, we left right then and there.

Our rescue cat had white gums and needed a full blood panel. The vet there said it was due to stress but common sense and Google says do more test especially when the vet was told to do any and everything to save the poor kitty. Today December 27th one day after being seen at this vet he unfortunately passed away!! The vet also barely got any fecal matter to put on a slide for a parasite inspection. My family is in mourning for the untimely loss of our newest fur baby. I will never ever under any circumstance use this vet again!!!!
