I've used Vanaken for my own pets, for strays, and for feral cats who have needed help. Dr. Johnson is a wonderful and loving vet. The animal hospital is in a low rent part of town, and the waiting room furniture is old... probably second hand. But I'm glad to forego the trappings of more expensive vets in order to make medical help more affordable for families who would otherwise forego giving medical attention to their pets.

A few years ago I seriously hurt a feral cat who had climbed into my car engine during a cold winter night. I rushed her to Vanaken, expecting to have to put her down. But they hospitalized and cared for her for almost two months! When they returned her to me, she was healthy, and no longer feral, and now she is our pet. And, the animal hospital bill was something I could afford!

Whenever I hear someone tell me their pet has a health problem that they can't afford to deal with, I refer them to Vanaken. And every time I do, I hear good reports from whomever I referred.

I chose this hospital because I was fixing five dogs for a neighbor who could not afford to fix them himself. I read the other reviews and was expecting it to be dirty because of the one review. I found it to be very respectable. The people were very friendly. I was able to get the dogs taken care of in one day. The price was very low, which is GREAT for spay and neuter. I would recommend them for anyone who needed to get a dog or cat altered.

We took our dog to Vanaken to be spayed. They did it the same day and it was cheaper than other vets! They are truely passionate about animals and it shows! The staff is helpful and the place is spotless!

I was referred to Vanaken by a friend of mine who had used their services before. They took wonderful care of my dog. The place was immaculate, and the vet is really caring. I was told by another vet that my dog would need all sorts of expensive surgery, and when I took him to Vanakens for a second opinion, I found out that was NOT the case. Thanks Van Aken Pet Hospital.
