Bowlin Cynthia L Dvm - Cats Only Veterinary Clinic

Outstanding care and attention. Very responsive and let me know immediately what was wrong with my cat. The entire staff is caring and knowledgeable.

If you love your cat and want the best care the price is not the primary concern in choosing a vet. I have not found them to be overpriced but I have always felt I got excellent value for the fee I paid and outstanding care for my animals. I have had many cats over the years and seen many vets... these are the best!

I have taken my cats to Cats Only for nine years. They do a competent job, but charge double (or more) than other vet clinics. They also push unnecessary tests that are riduclously priced.

I had a cat who was eating slightly less than he usually ate, and they performed a huge battery of tests, then $450 later told me he was constipated. $450 to diagnose constipation!

I used to get my cats teeth cleaned there and it cost $300, which is still much more expensive than other places. The last time I brought them in for a check-up, they quoted me $450-650 to clean each cat's teeth including one extraction.

They used to have an excellent vet named Cynthia Bowlin, who was the original founder of the clinic who is now retired. Now Dr. Cohn is in charge of the clinic, and I have noticed a dramatic increase in prices since she took over.

Cats Only caters to Upper Arlington residents who have lots of money. They seem to have less patients than other clinics, so it seems like their philosophy to charge a lot of money to fewer patients.

I live in Upper Arlington, and didn't mind paying more, since they are extremely close to me, and my cats have not had any major health problems. I always said to my friends, "Cats Only is fine if you have healthy cats who only need routine check-ups. However, if your cats actually have any health problems you will get screwed big-time."

Now that my cats are getting older are starting to have some problems, I can no longer afford their ridiculous prices, and am taking them to a new vet whose prices are fair and reasonable.

Don't go to Cats Only unless you have a lot of money. There are many other vets out there who do as good or better a job for less than half the price.

My cats love goin here, even though I have a dog, they get a little frazzled when they come into contact with other dogs. It's just easier on them and me to know that that won't happen. Everyone's very nice, and they love my babies. Highly recommend.

This is a great place to take your cat. The staff is great at answering your questions (no matter how stupid!) and they always have reasonably priced products. My cat and I both recommend Cats Only.

Ok Cat people fear no more--there does exisit within columbus a place for you to take your precious kitty without any canine nonsense in the waiting room! Great place and doctors who are awesome at working with cats. We took Mr. Twister there last year and they actually found some problems that another vet missed. Prices are a little steep (I think an office visit was $65)

PROS: just cats
CONS: exspensive
