Book online

Your first visit, step by step

  1. Book

    Book online through our patient portal, or call or text (785) 537-0537. Cat-only Meow Monday spots are booked by phone or text only.

  2. Find us

    We are at 3262 Kimball Ave. in Manhattan, open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 6:00pm. Get directions

  3. The exam

    A full physical, a dental check, screening for common conditions and any recommended vaccines, plus a talk about diet, exercise and lifestyle.

  4. Stay connected

    The GreatPetCare app shows upcoming appointments, sends health reminders, and lets you book online and request in-clinic prescription refills.

We moved to the area about a year ago and we're so glad we found candlewood! Everyone is always so kind and they are so great with our high energy (and sometimes unruly) dog, Ozy. They are always able to get him in right away and are very thorough when explaining what is going on with our pup. Prices are very reasonable as well!
