Livewell Animal Hospital of NoMa

Dr. John Von Kieckebusch is an exceptional veterinarian. He is extremely knowledgeable, takes the time to truly listen to pet owners, and thoroughly addresses all of my concerns. My pets are always genuinely happy to see him, which speaks volumes about the care and trust he builds with both animals and owners. Dr. Von Kieckebusch has treated many of my animals over the years and handles each one with patience, confidence, and compassion. I never feel rushed, and I always leave knowing my animals received thoughtful, high-quality care. I’m incredibly grateful to have a veterinarian I trust so completely and highly recommend him to anyone looking for outstanding veterinary care.

Please do not take your pet here - I never write negative reviews but I feel called to write this to protect our pets. I took my cat in for annual bloodwork and had a very traumatizing experience. They were unable to locate a vein and in the process “exploded” a vein and made him bleed. After 15 minutes, two vets, and hearing things like “is this the vein oh that’s a tendon” they decided to stop trying. I was clearly very emotional witnessing my fur baby so stressed out, and was told I should have put my cat on anxiety meds before the visit rather than any acknowledgement of the incident. They still wanted to charge me for an exam despite not a single test being completed. I’m happy to pay any amount to ensure the safety and well being of my cat, but what I witnessed was pure negligence a

This is not my dogs normal vet office however I was very pleased with the service I received. We were greeted with pleasantries from the staff. And the tech Ray was very thorough in her questions which made me feel very comfortable in my decision to bring Peanut there. Dr. John was just as thorough in the care he provided my dog. When I left I felt more at ease as I was concerned when I brought him in. Peanut's visited ended with him getting a pup cup, which he enjoyed!! I highly recommend coming here!! And, thank you for caring for my pet.

I can’t say enough great things about Livewell Animal Hospital NoMa. The entire team is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly goes above and beyond. From the moment we walked in, they made me and my dog, Ledger, feel welcome and at ease. The staff took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of my questions, and treated Ledger with so much patience and care. It’s obvious they genuinely love what they do and care deeply about their patients. I’m incredibly grateful for the level of attention and kindness we received and wouldn’t trust Ledger’s care to anyone else. Highly recommend!

I was so excited to see a new vet hospital open up right here in NoMa. The facility is beautiful, clean and the entire team is so welcoming. Dr. Von Kieckebusch was incredible, my dog absolutely loved him. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge and I couldn’t recommend him and the team more. If you are looking for exceptional vet care, look no further than this place!
