Overview

Ensuring your pet is healthy and happy is our priority at all our Animal Doctor locations, and to make certain this is accomplished we utilize several fear free techniques. This includes keeping you and your pet together throughout the appointment to decrease overall stress, as well as the use of tasty treats and lots of attention to make the experience positive. We also utilize pheromone sprays (for cats and dogs) to evoke a calming feeling in your pet

Dr. Jennifer Arneson started Animal Doctor Veterinary Clinic in 1998, Animal Doctor Westside in Manhattan, KS (with Dr. Michelle Iseman) in 2017, and Animal Doctor Blue Hills in Manhattan, KS in 2019

What reviewers say

88% Positive sentiment
based on 231 reviews

This independent veterinary practice is widely recognized for its compassionate, patient, and highly knowledgeable veterinary team that treats pets with genuine care and respect. The staff excels at handling anxious animals using fear-free techniques, pheromones, and treats to create a calm environment. Appointments are generally easy to schedule with prompt service and minimal wait times, and the facility maintains high standards of cleanliness with species-specific exam rooms. While most clients appreciate the thorough explanations and supportive end-of-life care, pricing has become a frequent point of discussion among visitors, and occasional administrative communication challenges do occur.
