If I can give a ten star review for this Vet, I would, without a doubt… Much respect, she is quite possibly the best vet I have ever been to as far as her caring nature and her willingness to accommodate the situation at hand. She has a gentle voice and touch, and treated my lil loved one with the ultimate respect in his last moments of life. And for that I could never thank her enough!

Absolutely one of the best vetinary clinics I have ever been too. Karen is amazing with animals and really knows what she is doing wouldn't trust my animals with anyone but her.

Beautiful animal hospital with the look and feel of home. The veterinarian is an absolute angel. The only one who would help in our worst time of need and made the experience as gentle and comfortable as possible. Will work with payments if the need requires. Will be bringing all my animals here now on.

This was the nicest experience. I took in a stray a couple weeks ago. They were able to see Whiskers on short notice and get him neutered, rid of his ear mites, and medicine for our upcoming trip. She answered all my concerns with taking in a stray. It's a cozy place, with exceptional quality, affordable, and obvious Dr. Karen really cares about animals. Whiskers is very happy!

I had an emergency with my 17 almost 18 years old Siamese cat. She got him in right away. I usually use Western but they were swamped. I got to spend another couple nights with my baby but unfortunately his cancer and failing kidneys got the best of him. I texted her Sunday and she helped him cross over Monday. She could have Sunday but I needed one more night with him. She was gentle and caring and after, when I went to my truck I watched her pick him up on the blanket and gently carry him to the other room. She respected him even when I wasn't standing there. She explained everything before hand so I knew what he would do. Just in case.

Absolutely best veterinarian in Williston! I met Dr.Karen in December of 2022 due to needing a veterinarian that could see my 3 service dogs monthly. When they started going to her they had multiple health/pain/inflammation issues that had not been resolved with previous veterinarian clinics. After seeing Dr.Karen she was able to resolve and properly manage (without an excessive amount of medication) all of my dogs' health issues. My pups previously had a fear of vets due to mistreatment and rough treatment in the past. She was incredibly understanding and took her time with my pups especially Storm aka Meatball and now all 3 of my boys fight over who will be examined by her first! They looove going to the vet and seeing Dr.Karen! She truly has a gift with animals! I have needed her emergency services several times and she has always treated my babies with the utmost care and concern and fixed them up in no time! Unfortunately having service dogs they are exposed to a lot of environmental risks so they get injuries, chemical sores, rashes, illnesses,etc. Dr.Karen understands how important it is for my pups to be able to do their "job" and keeps them in tip top shape! Highly recommended!!!!!!!

Karen is such a great vet! She has a good feel for what needs to be done then handles things with compassion and a true understanding of animals. I highly commend and recommend her sevices

Dr. Karen is possibly the best feline veterinarian I've ever seen here or elsewhere. She provided guidance for palliative care with my older cat who is going through kidney failure as well as supplements and subcutaneous fluids which are allowing him to stabilize and enjoy good quality of life in his senior years. She is also excellent for spay an neuter - she does a good job monitoring post surgery and even does laser therapy on the wound site to speed healing. She is far more knowledgeable about feline nutrition than other vets in town, and does a great deal more outside of her practice to help the local cat population. I have nothing but glowing recommendations for her practice.

I have never taken my pets to Dr. Karen before, I called to get my kitten in cause she was very sick and she got her in that day. You could totally tell she cared for my cat and that she would be in good hands. So extremely thankful! Might have to switch vets!

Thanks to the vet here she helped me and my wife with our cat emergency. She called us back and was willing to get us in asap to stitch up our cat. She is an amazing person and God Bless her for everything that she did. Thanks to her we now have her as our vet for both our animals. We highly recommend her as a vet.

Moved from Texas and was looking into a veterinarian for our fur babies, wasn't sure where to go. Decided to go with Kritterz and I am more than sure it was the best decision. Great vet both professionally and financially. She took care of our baby and saved her life. Very affordable prices. Highly recommended.

Took my Loki(shitzu) in to get pampered. He was looking like a miniature sheepdog..lol They are so good with him, and when we got home, he was prancing around in front of everyone. Love his cut and the ladies there!@

Such a great experience and Dr. Karen was very helpful and informative in spaying my new rescue kitten . She was able to get us in quickly and gave information on after surgery care. She took great care for Lily and was a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

Recently, I took my 14-year-old Siamese cat for a skin issue to Kritterz Total Pet. He had such a good time exploring the office and interacting with the vet, I was not sure he would want to come home with me! It is extremely gratifying to be the one and only client in the office and have all the attention bestowed on your pet. I am always confident that I have received excellent medical care for my pets and could not imagine going anywhere else!

A friend of mine and I had to pick up our puppies at 5 weeks old due to unforeseen circumstances. I called Kritterz to get our pups in for examining. She was able to get us in the following day. It was obvious she had nothing but the best interest in the puppies health and care and was thorough with the examination as well as directions for future health care as well. I highly recommend Kritterz.

We took our cat to Kritterz and loved it. She listened to all of our concerns and gave us a quality explanation of what she suspected the problem was. She seemed to love animals and was genuine and caring. We have been to another vet in town and were rushed out without a single question answered.The clinic is quite small and very quaint. If you're looking for a sterile, cold doctor-like office to take your pet, this is not it. If you want a comfortable, caring experience (our cat was so calm the entire time) then this is what you're looking for. We'll definitely continue to visit Kritterz.

Dr. Babbitt is amazing. She has seen all 6 of my dogs for routine shots, neutering and emergency care. This is not the typical cold, sterile vet office. She runs a small country vet office with a ton of compassion and care. Don't judge based on lack of fancy equipment and decor. She has access to everything any other vet office would have if needed and she doesn't demand a bunch of unnecessary tests to run up the bill. My pug, Jack (11 yrs old), has a collapsing trachea and has needed round the clock care. There is only so much that can be done for his condition, yet she has made herself available to me for my panics, million questions and same day/after hour visits day after day. I appreciate her more than I can say. You couldn't get that service at many vet offices. I highly recommend Dr. Karen Babbitt at Kritterz Total Pet.

Such a great lady. I picked up a turtle from the side of the road that had been hit. Game and fish was too busy to come out. Apparently they only help animals in town. The vet took the poor lil guy and said she would fix him up. Chip the turtle will survive.

Made time to see my elderly cat on her usual day off due to a QOL issue. She was able to easily draw blood for diagnostics even though at a previous vet visit somewhere else i was told it was impossible that day (understandable, she can be unruly, but the vet kept her so calm here.) She was very kind to my old kitty, very sweet for allowing me to come in on the chance it was time to let her go. We opted for treatment and following bloodwork to see of she's responding. Thank you so much.

Kind veterinarian who was quite patient with my dog. She was flexible in making an appointment to get us in today even though I called this morning. I really liked her calm manner and I think it helped to keep my little guy calm as well. We will definitely be back!

I took my cat Jack, recently rescued off the streets, in to get his shots and to be neutered. I had tried to treat him for ear mites previously with which he had a very adverse reaction (terrible stuff they sell at Walmart). He still had them, and the vet checked a sample and treated him for them again (no reaction). I had him micro chipped as well. I dropped him off at 10 and picked him up at 4. The Doc did text me when Jack was out of surgery to tell me he was doing alright, she trimmed his nails as a complimentary service (but still asked, which I appreciated). When I went to pick him up she explained very well everything that was done and answered all of my questions politely and respectfully. She even let me borrow one of her carriers since I didn't have one and Jack wasn't exactly happy with the days events. Very kind and considerate of her. Jack was fine as soon as we were home, a little loopy, but not mad anymore. He ate, didn't get sick, and entertained himself with his water dish for awhile haha. I had a good experience at Kritterz, pricing was fair, she got me in within the week, and my baby boy is doing well so far. Thank you again, Dr. Karen Babbit-Stamp at Kritterz!

Two days after moving to Williston our dog had an odd bump show up on her leg. We ended up making two vet visits, first at bakken mobile, and next with Kritterz. Tell you right now my experience at Kritterz was far better than at the mobile vet. Read full review for explanation!The vet at kritterz works out of her home. Although it seemed a little unorthodox at first, she was very knowledgeable and kind to me and my dog. First, this vet made time in her busy schedule to see us. Then during our visit she took a sample from the growth and looked at the cells under a microscope—she didn’t jus report her diagnosis, she opened a text book, showed me the kinds of cells she was observing from the tissue and explained that it was very likely cancer(hard to say what kind exactly, but cancer non the less) and naturally she advised surgical removal to nip it in the butt. She even proceeded to prescribe some meds to take until surgery to help decrease the size of growth to facilitate the procedure—a relatively new technique, and it worked! I can tell she is well practiced, takes pride in her work, and respected me as a consumer and was therefore diligent in our visit. Because she was booked 2.5 weeks out, I ended up making an appointment with a near by vet in Montana for the surgery. Hopefully all goes well!For the record—this experience was in stark contrast to my experience at the bakken mobile vet—the first vet we saw. He looked at it, squeezed it, and ruled out mange and ringworm, but didn’t care to actually look at the cells like the Kritterz vet. With this kind of growth on a BOXER(prone to skin cancer), that was a poor practice from the mobile vet. Instead of actually looking at it under a microscope, he sent me home with antibiotics and a topical treatment, racking my bill up over $100, ultimately prolonging time between proper diagnosis and successful treatment. I was disappointed at bakken mobile vet.
