Pet Aid - Dog & Cat Clinic, Kalyani Nagar

I was referred to Nikhil by someone reliable I know. My family and I are first time pet parents and adopted two indies in June last year. Being females I took his opinion about having them spayed and he recommended to spay them 15 days after their first heat. I trusted that blindly and went ahead and I’m now dealing with an even more anxious puppy. He was aware of her history of being anxious because of Covid and being indoors a lot. I have now learned that a lot of behaviour issues can be caused by early spaying and the wait time is at least 3 months post heat for the hormones to stabilise. * ****** ** *** ****** ****** **** ***** **** ** ****** ***** ***** *** *** ****** ***** ** *** ******* ******** ********** ** ** ****** **** ** **** ***** ** ***** ** ***** **** ***** Their billing is far from transparent.

I took my pet to Dr. Milind Hatekar at Pet Aid Clinic, and it was a good experience overall. He is quite experienced and knows how to handle pets comfortably, which made my pet feel at ease during the visit.

The consultation was smooth, and he was able to quickly understand the issue and guide us on the next steps. The clinic staff was also supportive and managed everything well.

If you are looking for a senior and experienced veterinarian in Pune, especially around Kalyani Nagar, he is definitely worth considering.

I visited Dr. Nikhil Umale for my pet at Pet Aid Clinic in Kalyani Nagar, and it was a really good experience. He ** ************* *** handles pets with a lot of care and patience. He took the time to properly examine my pet and explained the condition and treatment clearly, which was very reassuring.

What I appreciated the most was that he listens carefully and doesn’t rush through the consultation. He answered all my questions in a simple and understandable way, which made me feel more confident as a pet parent.

Overall, I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring veterinarian in Pune.

I visited Dr. Milind Hatekar for my pet’s health issue at Pet Aid Clinic in Kalyani Nagar. He has a lot of experience, and you can sense that in the way he examines and handles the pet. He was calm and confident during the consultation, which was reassuring.

The clinic can get a bit busy at times, but overall the experience was okay. He explained the condition briefly and suggested the required treatment. **** *** ***** ** *********** *** **** **** **** *** ** ** ******* *****.

Overall, a decent option if you are looking for an experienced vet in the Kalyani Nagar area

1. Dr. Milind Hatekar (>20 yrs experience) was not available. So basically I paid the same visiting charges for a much less experienced doctor.

2. For a medium severity ear infection, doctor visit charges was Rs.300/- , treatment charges was Rs.980/-!! Rs.980/- for a 4min ear cleaning job seems quite steep!!

3. The doctor gave my pet an antibiotic injection and told me to to visit for 2~3 more days for injection and treatment (Basically for the Rs.980/- ear cleaning job). I requested him to give me antibiotic tablets, and ear cleansing solution so I can do the same treatment at home as my wife too was hospitalised for surgery and it was too hectic/impossible for me to visit him for next 3 days. ** **** *** ****** ********* *** ********** ** **** ********* ** ********* ***** ** ******* **** * ****** ********** ****** ** *** ********* ** *** ********

4. To give the doctor some credit yes my pet did feel better after visiting him and was able to sleep without fluttering his ears too much. But I did not visit him again. After 2 days my wife was discharged and then I visited another vet through a reference. She gave me antibiotic tabs, ear cleanser and told me to continue the medication and treatment at home for 3~4 days and then visit her. For all this she charged me Rs.400/-!!!

5. The clinic did not even write the name of the antibiotic injection that they gave. They just wrote medicines!!

Though I have not met Dr. Hatekar himself, *** *** ** *** ****** ** ************ *********** ********** ** ******** **** ****** *** ***** *********
