Kauai Veterinary Clinic

We took our cat recently to see Dr Mike. He is a good vet and seems to be very knowledgeable. Very calm and to the point. However the vet assistant was really rough with our poor kitty. She did not know how to hold her well while Dr Mike examined her. Our cat’s ears were squashed in her death grip the whole time n her eyes looked like they were going to pop out. I didn’t want to say anything at that time as I didn’t want to disrupt Dr Mike’s examination. I’m no expert but isn’t it easier for both the vet n the cat to hv the animal lay on their side while you examine the hind leg?
Needless to say I don’t plan on ever going back. There’s no way I’ll let anyone manhandle my cat the way she did.

I just brought my dogs from the mainland and had their first check up with Dr. Mike at the Kauai Vet Clinic. Nice knowledgeable staff and Dr. Mike was good about spending the time with each dog and doing a thorough exam, and took the time to explain all the parasites and Buffo toads and all the dangers and concerns about keeping animals healthy on the island .
I was referred by a friend who had to put her dog down and the staff all sent her a card and called and checked on her after the dog was put down to see how she was doing.
Compassionate, knowledgeable care.
I definitely recommend Kauai Vet Clinic.

The clinic is very clean and organized. It has by far the best Doctor Pullawa is very thorough with exams and excellent communication to the pet owners. The clinic staff are friendly and handle each pet as the pet is their own. KVC offers a low stress service for your pet.

I recently adopted an adult cat from 9^th life cat sanctuary and brought him to Kauai Veterinary Clinic for his first visit for an overall health check up. I had such a great experience here from making my appointment to seeing Dr. Mike Woltman. The staff was very professional and welcoming.
I was impressed at the fact that the staff asked questions about his history ie. where he was adopted, if he was previously indoor or outdoor, does he hunt geckos or birds.
I didn’t understand the importance of these questions until his examination. Given the nature of his condition, Dr. Mike advised me of afflictions that my cat may have or be exposed to. For example, a cat that was previously outdoors that hunted birds may suffer from a condition where they overly groom their hindquarters. He also pointed out my cats gingivitis and the fact that I was clearly feeding him too much. He said that although my cat is indoors only, if he does hunt geckos, geckos carry something that could affect my cats liver health and he suggested a shot to protect against this happening.
I appreciated all of his points of concerns and more importantly what I could do to address them. He thoroughly showed and explained what he saw in my cats condition and the staff provided a detailed cost estimate of what was recommended. They would only proceed if I agreed to the recommendations, which were optional. I appreciated the doctor taking the time to explain each recommendation, but ultimately leaving it up to me proceed.
I am so happy to have a vet that communicates his concerns for my pet and addresses mine as well.
