What a caring veterinary place to bring your pets. We found 2 baby kittens, at my work today that were left astray. After contacting other shelters and not able to take the kittens. Jennifer one of the veterinarian told me I could bring them there. Thank you SO much. We bring our golden retriever, here and always get great care. Thank you all at Burlingame Animal Hospital for your caring and your kindness.

Greedy and careless. As a college student struggling to pay for rent and care for myself and my dog, I took my dog in for a simple check up. The vet that saw us insisted on running several unnecessary tests, gave my dog worm medication (when he had already been treated) and thought of many various other weird and wonderful ways to take my money, like insisting my perfectly healthy, year old pup needed his ears cleaned by squirting a solution into them. At the end of everything I was hit with a $300 bill for unnecessary procedures I had asked not to have done.

We first met Dr. Hrencher in 1988 when we moved to Topeka and had to meet city ordinances for vaccinations and licensing.

Princes was a 3 year old mixed breed of possibly fox terrier and turtle terrier origins if there is such a thing. She loved to swim, fish, hunt and herd turtles. Camping was always an adventure when Princess went along.

State Parks were clearly posted that all dogs must be on a leash. That ten-pound alpha dog did not know how to read and did not care. She had a plan to do it her way without reservation or restraint, when the time was right. One particular spring near a lake she found a score of wonderful female turtles nesting near a lake. She looked out across the low sandy soil at all those turtles laying their eggs, scouted the situation, knowing exactly where those dozen or so turtles belonged or where she was intent on sending them. Like lightening she slipped her collar and was off past the No DOGS WITHOUT A LEASH sign, past the amateur cameramen, with my seven year old son in hot pursuit, yelling all the way. Princess herded at least a dozen turtles into a flock and drove them back into that lake then dove into to take her earned swim around the shore to the snap of photos as she went.

On an Easter Sunday my son took Princess for a walk not far from home. She, once again slipped her leash getting loose to join other big dogs in the middle of the street. The other big dogs were able to lunge out of the way. Princess was not. she was struck by a car and died at the side of the street. We took her little body to Dr. Hrencher. He helped us take care of her final needs.

Over the years there have been many pets and I know Dr. Hrencher and Burlingame animal hospital will meet the needs of my animals and me.
