Pelham Animal Hospital

I’ve been using Dr.Katz for some time however two things have made me reconsider. First my elderly cat got sick and instead giving me antibiotics to take home he didn’t do that until after I had to come back and he did a pointless chest x-ray leaving me a big bill. Next we took my mothers cat to be spayed. She’s a wild cat and only really likes my mother. They called us to pick her up early the same day and basically reprimanded us on her behavior. The doctor said he was taking all precautions not to have to have her come back and that if she ever did she’d need to be sedated. The assistant made a point not very nicely that she had to wear gloves. I know the cat is difficult but I felt they were unprofessional as that’s their job.

Dr. Katz saved my one year old cat's life and now he has eight more lives left. All joking aside, I rushed my cat to a 24 hour emergency veterinarian hospital at 1 o'clock in the morning since Dr. Katz at Pelham animal Hospital was closed and they misdiagnosed my cat's ailment only for me to endure 3 panic filled days watching my cat deteriorate in extreme distress. Dr. Katz identified the problem almost immediately and performed emergency surgery to remove what he discovered which turned out to be pieces of a foam rubber child's play mat which my cat had eaten away some of the edges and swallowed them and they were stuck in his small intestine. We have since thrown out the mat and 'cat-proofed our home as we have two other young felines. Dr. Katz is our regular veterinarian and he literally held our hand and our cats paw throughout this ordeal and the baby boy is recovering at home now lively, earnest, vibrant, eating and drinking and using his litter box so we are so relieved. Might I add, this surgery was in excess of two or 2 1/2 hours and I could tell Dr. Katz did not mind whatever time it was, but he finished at about 10 PM and we are grateful for his time and care and obviously staying in the clinic all night to perform the surgery. The staff took such great care of our cat; keeping in communication, following up, emailing and more phone calls, all very reassuring and comforting Thank you Dr. Katz and all the staff at Pelham Animal Hospital.

I wish I could give 0 or no starts. I took my kitten here a month ago. The vet told me she had nothing after he “did an x ray” so he sent me home. That night I had to take her to the emergency room, where they actually did an X-ray that showed she had pneumonia. She passed away that day. I feel awful for waiting time taking her there and believing the vet and his mal practice. I now doubt he even did the x ray and blood work he charged me for. But now nothing or no one is gonna return me my luna

Have been going here for years, Dr. Katz & his staff are the best. Wednesdays for new patients only you can get a free exam with Dr. Johnson. My Reba should get the best treatment, and here is where we go.

I absolutely love this place. The staff was so nice and welcoming to me. I have a crazy cat named Twinkle Toes and they were so patient with him. The prices were very affordable for me and a lot cheaper than the cost to go to the emergency room. If I had gone to the emergency room the visit alone would have been $150 plus I would have had to pay extra for medication but they only charged me $90 for the visit and $30 for the medication. I had to get two different kinds so the total ended up being $150 which I would've had to pay for an emergency visit alone. I also called last minute and they were able to get me an appointment very quickly. I only had a very old carrier with me and it wasn't really good because my cat kept turning in it but they even offered to give me a new carrier if they had any extras. The nurses and the doctor were all very caring and I'm definitely going to go back again!

I've been bringing my pet family to Dr. Katz since around 2004. It might be longer but my memory doesn't go back that far. They were very comforting when my cat was sick. He was an 18 year old orange tabby. He had a tumor near his eye. Dr. Katz and his staff did everything they could for him. Helped me keep him comfortable until it was his time to go. Now I got a new kitten. This is the only bet that she will see. She's already been to his office twice. We have a third appointment this week. I look forward to her her vaccines done with. The staff loves her, and they show her all of the love. All of it. I'm not sure how they have any left for the other pets, but they make it work. If you have a pet, give them a chance. You won't regret it.

I had to move from Delaware to New York this year and have been looking for a new vet. The staff is very friendly, understanding. I had to delay an appointment because of an insurance issue with me and my kitty. They weren’t mad or anything and they happily rescheduled. I went back and had many questions for them during my appointment and Dr. Katz was happy to answer and of my questions and concerns about my kitty.

I have been using Dr Russel Katz at the Pelham Animal Hospital fo a very long time and have been extremely happy with him and his staff.

Dr. Katz and his team are wonderful. They're all knowledgeable, friendly and caring. I've taken 3 generations of dog's to him. They can't wait to see him. Highly recommended when you need care.

Dr. Katz and staff are great! My family has been bringing our fur-family to his practice since 1999. They are always helpful!
