V-Care Pet PolyClinic

Yes, the clinic handles tick infestations and multi-visit treatment plans regularly. Our analysis of reviews shows tick treatment is the most-mentioned condition (3 mentions), followed by cancer management and surgery (2 mentions each). Reviewers on Google Maps note that the clinic offers laser therapy requiring daily sessions — one owner wrote: "We visited V-Care Pet Clinic for laser therapy for one of our cats, which required daily treatments for a week." Dr. Nanjundappa, who has been with this practice since at least 2002 per reviewer accounts, handles complex cases. If your dog needs a sustained treatment protocol, call ahead to confirm slot availability — Sunday hours are limited to 10am–2pm, so plan weekday visits for ongoing care.

Some reviewers flag a pattern of charges being added without prior consent. One reviewer wrote directly: "I went to this clinic to get my cat vaccinated, but they added unnecessary services without informing me and doubled the bill." Our analysis of 1,071 Google Maps reviews identifies upselling as the third most common complaint theme (3 mentions), alongside concerns about over-treatment without considering the pet's age or condition. The clinic's complaint data also flags rude staff interactions (5 mentions). The practical takeaway: ask for an itemised estimate before any procedure begins, and confirm which services are included — especially for routine visits like vaccinations or dental checks.

Dr. Nanjundappa has been associated with this clinic since at least 2002, making him one of the longer-serving vets in this part of Bengaluru. Reviewer accounts reference him by name across 5 reviews in our dataset. The clinic's breed data shows Labrador retrievers and Golden Retrievers as the most-mentioned breeds in reviews (Labrador: 1 mention, Golden Retriever: 2 mentions), suggesting familiarity with large sporting breeds. One reviewer mentioned their Labrador connection going back more than two decades: "Nanjundappa since 2002 when we got our Labrador from him." For a Labrador with an ongoing health need, confirm Dr. Nanjundappa's availability when you book — he is one of two named doctors at this branch alongside Dr. Sandeep.

Sunday hours are limited to 10am–2pm, which is a tight window for a genuine emergency. Weekday hours run 10am–9pm, giving you a much larger buffer Monday through Saturday. Our review data flags long wait times as a complaint pattern, and the clinic handles high footfall given its 1,071 Google reviews. One reviewer noted the clinic felt overcrowded during peak periods. For a weekend emergency, calling the clinic at +91 80 2552 5834 before heading there is strongly advised. If you arrive after 1:30pm on a Sunday, you may not be seen. For life-threatening emergencies, confirm in advance whether the on-call team can handle your pet's specific condition.

The divide is real and consistent in the data. Friendly staff is the top praise theme (10 mentions), yet rude staff is the top complaint theme (5 mentions). Our analysis of review sentiment scores shows communication at 0.58 and gentle handling at 0.55 — both in mixed territory. Specific praise: "They were kind and calm while I was nervous." Specific criticism points to dismissiveness and lack of explanation about treatment choices. Dr. Sandeep is mentioned by name in a disputed review thread. This split often tracks to individual doctors or time-of-day staffing. Visiting on a weekday morning — when the clinic is less crowded — tends to correlate with better reported experiences, based on reviewer timing clues.

The one concrete price point from our review data is Rs 6,000, mentioned in connection with a surgical or specialist procedure. Value for money scores 0.45 in our sentiment analysis — the lowest of all measured aspects — indicating that a meaningful share of reviewers feel the cost does not match the outcome. The upselling complaint theme (3 mentions) adds context: charges beyond the quoted figure appear in several accounts. One reviewer noted treatments felt excessive without regard for the pet's age. For any procedure above routine vaccination or deworming, request a written cost breakdown before consent. Comparing quotes with another Koramangala vet can help you calibrate whether the Rs 6,000 range is fair for your pet's specific procedure.
