Kinship Animal Hospital 1200 McDonough Street, Richmond, VA 23224

"What truly set this experience apart was the unrushed and personal time Dr. Smith and vet tech Nichole dedicated to addressing all our concerns. Each question was met with thoughtful, informative responses, ensuring that we left feeling reassured and well-informed about our pet's health and well-being. Our heartfelt thanks to the entire team for their dedication to not just treating animals, but cherishing them as if they were their own."

"We had a wonderful experience during this check up. The nurses were very nice and attentive. The doctor was also very nice and very complimentary of how healthy my cat is and how well he's growing. I felt very supported and encouraged."

"Kinship Animal Hospital has been so helpful and patient with our crazy dog. Anytime I have a concern they have managed to squeeze us in for a quick emergency visit. Everyone is so polite, welcoming, and they genuinely care about your animal. I especially love that the hospital is primarily run by women, who make us feel more like family than any other veterinarian office we’ve experienced in Richmond VA."

"I’ve been using this vet for the two years I’ve been in Richmond, and they are the best vet I’ve ever used. They treat our pets like family, and they are patient with my tendency to be a paranoid dog mom. I’m moving away from Richmond soon, and they will be on the top of my list of “best experiences in Richmond”"

"This was my first visit to Kinship and I’m so happy I made the 2 hour drive to see Dr. Kirkpatrick! She is clearly passionate and invested in her patients wellness. Everyone we saw was happy, welcoming and knowledgeable. The Women at the front desk were prompt and loved on my Pup as soon as he walked in. They gave us a room to wait in alone as he’s not super friendly with other dogs. My Husky was in the middle of a coat blow and they were so attentive to sweeping up his trail of fur without making me feel guilty. Doctor K was thorough and answered all 2000 of my questions. She made time to explain all of her recommendations without making me feel guilty or like a bad dog mom like some vets have made me feel in the past. 200% will be back, I don’t even care about the 2 hour drive."
