This is a great spot to take your dogs! I have had a few surgeries done here on my pittie and they have done an awesome job. My dog even gets excited to go back into the exam room. Prices are fair and they will advise you on ways to save money on products instead of forcing you to but directly from them. I drive 4 hours round trip to bring my dogs here read more

Wonderful veterinary facility! Great staff and Dr. They are very thorough and detail oriented. Warm atmosphere also!

Great doctors and staff, hard sometimes to get through on the phone but emailing works. Excellent care of our 2 dogs and 1 mean old cat.

There are choices for veterinary care in Petaluma and more within driving distance. I have experienced a few other veterinary services in Sonoma County. I was fortunate to come across Adobe Animal Hospital after relocating to Petaluma. My dog was diagnosed with a chronic health condition by Dr. Stemwedel in 2023 and has follow-up with Dr. Stemwedel every 6 months. Dr. S. engages with the client and patient, addresses questions, explains the treatment plan and reasons for care. Appropriate diagnostic testing is recommended without being excessive. Other times Dr. Stemwedel communicates via email and her responses are timely with understanding that during business hours her time is taken up by other patients and clients. The front desk staff is welcoming and email correspondence is answered in a timely manner. The registered veterinary technicians have skillful rapport with clients and warmly interacts with the patients. Thank you to Adobe Animal Hospital staff. read more

My vet is too busy to answer my phone call and spend a couple minutes answering my concerns. I won't be back.

The staff at Adobe are very nice and they were fast and efficient at seeing my dog for vaccines during COVID. They weren't allowing anyone inside but were courteous in getting him from the parking lot and had excellent phone follow up. I was disappointed when then a few months later we had an emergency and they couldn't see him for nearly two weeks. Part of my desire to establish care with a vet here in town was to make sure in the event of an emergency I'd have somewhere to go. I understand schedules can be tight but this just wasn't acceptable to me. His previous vet in Santa Rosas schedule was also full and she warned me it would be a wait but she had us come wait in the parking lot and made sure he got the emergency care he needed. So i guess I'll continue the drive up to Laguna Veterinary for the time being! read more

I am going to keep with the facts. I held onto this review for a spell but the story simply deserves to be told because I love dogs and cats and they are more important to me sometimes then humans because they are unconditional and count on us to love and care for them. I've heard too many stories in the field lately. 1. Front office Staff believe and act like they are veterinarians and give you advice they shouldn't be giving. 2. Front office staff sent me and our dog home while my dog was ACTIViLY rupturing a disc and losing all feeling in his hind legs right in front of them (showed video and he was in the car to bring in 20 feet away!!! They looked at nothing. They Asserted it was back pain and instructed us to go home and feed him these "large pills" until they could see him Monday 2.5 days later. They literally didn't allow us to see an actual vet at that point even to determine an emergency events was occurring. 3. 6 hours elapse and our little guy has lost all function of hind legs and is extremely drugged (11pm) he is now physically mechanically paralyzed in his hind. 4. We take him to emergency care truevet(who are awesome) and they take him in. Assessment : 1. Our dog has a completely ruptured disc and any chance of recovering his hind legs can only be achieved by him having neurosurgery within the next 7 hours and 2. Adobe prescribed 4x the amount of Carpofen for a dog his size potentially throwing him into liver/kidney failure (not sure which one. If we had given him one more dose the next morning he would have been dead. 5. Our little guy had surgery the next morning and makes a miraculous recovery months later but we now need to watch for any long term damage Adobe did by 1. Overdosing him and 2. Having him sit there for an extra 5 hours paralyzed at home on drugs before we assessed things weren't right for ourselves. 6. We attempted to get past it with them but it got no better after that with mistake after mistake, bumble, and excuse after excuse following with both of our dogs to the degree where the owner decided we weren't eligible for their services anymore and ghosted our other dog who had been waiting months for a ear and teeth procedure literally two days before. Hope that felt good Dr Stemwedel. And that wasn't the staff ghosting us. that was the owner. She asked for the pill bottle back of the medication and I had a sense I should keep it. Glad we did. May have to revisit this in the future if any long term organ damage was done at the hands of Adobe and it's team and owner. As for his spine, I'm not sure how much better off he would have been without that extra 5-6 hours of him failing before we brought him to the emergency but were just glad we found legitimate professionals to care for him. I am sure they will reply with something to bash us or smooth over the edges and say were disappointed angry whatever but nothing stated above is untrue and all based in facts and documentation. Like I said, they can reply but facts are facts. We did attempt to reach back out one last time as a good gesture and there was no response. So be it. Proceed with extreme caution. 2 local vets later and 1 neurosurgeon concur---they were floored that a place that makes decisions like this and administers care like this shouldnt remain in business with the approach they take to patients, customers, and care. We already have run into over 20 owners locally since this time who have pulled their pets from this place based on our experience. Not trying to sink a ship, But we care more about your pets then Adobe regime. Yurtle the Turtle 100% Maybe they should take a note or two from that book themselves. A shot here and there? Ok. Hard to mess that up unless they give the wrong one or wrong dose. Minor injures? Ok. (Like hangnail minor) When it's your pets life or death? Run as fast as you can. One star? Hmmmph. I wouldn't even give them 1 rotten tomato. read more

Dr Dekleva, and the staff at Adobe Animal Hospital are Fantastic! We have been taking our dogs here for a little over a year, based on high recommendations from friends. Our dogs have a lot of anxiety when visiting a vet. The staff has been patient, calm and very thoughtful and we appreciate it. Last week our dog Nico had a dental procedure and some extractions. The pre procedure instructions, procedure, communication and after care were great. We also appreciated the follow up call and appointment with Kristin, Nico's vet tech. Some reviewers mentioned that Adobe Animal Hospital is pricey, but we disagree. They are great with providing accurate estimates and no surprises. We wish we lived closer, but feel that our drive from Novato is worth the wonderful care our dogs (and us!) receive at Adobe! We highly recommend Adobe Animal Hospital. Thank You Nico, Lily, Doug and Margi Roberts read more

I love Adobe and try to avoid taking my dog anywhere else. My dog hates strangers and has bite history with strangers, but he is such a good dog every time I take him to Adobe that its like who is this dog!?!? He loves the staff there! I am there too frequently, to the point that its embarrassing (my dog is very mischievous) and I worry they will judge me.. but they never do! I also take my barn cats there. One of them was having some eye issues and needed to stay inside for a week and get frequent eye drops. I couldn't keep him inside because of my dog, so one of the vet techs took him home with her for a week so that he could get them. I personally don't react to the pricing because I have been to VCA many times where it was 4x as much and I don't really go elsewhere so I can't compare. But I always feel that they give me options and tell me what the must-haves are vs what are nice to haves and I trust them, which to me is worth every penny. They are the best and I hope to be taking my animals there for years to come! read more

About 20 days ago, one of my cats had been throwing up for four days into the fifth day. I tried texting these people from their website and the next day. I tried calling twice and left a message both times, stating the dire need for my cat to be seen. They did not even contact me. My cat could not hold anything down and I was worried sick and let them know in the message. These people do not give a rat's ass about animals or people. In the future, if someone asked me where to take their animal, I will specify don't take it to Adobe Animal Hospital. Thanks for your concern. You guys suck big time. read more

Dr. Dekleva and the Adobe vet tech and reception staff are attentive, caring, thoughtful, and efficient. My dog Ruby suffers from arthritis, and Dr. Dekleva has changed her daily life to be full of playful walks, swimming, and chasing games with other dogs. Ruby is a rescue dog and very nervous around any new people plus the added stress of a vet visit. We were welcomed into the spacious reception area that's very pet-friendly. A smiling, helpful person introduced us to the vet tech who escorted us to an exam room that had a door to the outdoor garden area (just in case Ruby needed a bathroom break). The vet tech was very gentle and loving with Ruby and sat on the floor with her as she took vitals. Dr. Dekleva entered the room and sat on the floor with Ruby and the vet tech. Ruby relaxed when she saw these people understood what it's like to be a dog! Dr. Dekleva provided clear, plain-spoken information and answered all of my questions. He recommended different pain medication for Ruby and described how it could improve her daily life. And it made such an enormous difference that people couldn't believe it. Ruby seems several years younger with her increased energy, strength, and mobility. He also understood that we live 2 hours away, so he worked with us to get everything we needed without having to make another long trip. The scheduling process was easy, and communicating was simple by phone and email. We got appointment reminders, medication renewal updates, and answers to questions. The staff took care of getting Ruby's records sent from her other vet's office. And throughout the process offered help with anything I needed. Adobe Animal Hospital took wonderful care of my sweet Ruby and me. It was a pleasure start to finish. I highly recommend them. read more

I cannot recommend Adobe hospital highly enough--especially Dr. Kidwell. A little over a month ago our 13 year old Labrador, Tucker, collapsed. The team at Adobe were able to see him immediately, and quickly assessed the cause. It turned out to be the worst possible news: pericardial effusion--fluid build up around the heart, very likely due to a mass. I can imagine no harder job than to have to tell someone their beloved pet can't be saved. Dr. Kidwell was beyond amazing. She took all the time with us that we needed, walking us through options, giving us clear information. In the end she was able to gently and compassionately guide us to the right choice to let him go. It was devastating, but I am so grateful to everyone at Adobe for how they supported us and for the care they took to make sure Tucker's passing was peaceful. It will take time to heal, but when we get our next dog, Adobe will be our first call. It is a vet office that truly goes above and beyond. read more

We have taken our dog here for years but sadly the service is no longer the same. They are focused entirely on the profit and no longer on the animals. Every single item and interaction has a price tag that is well above average for this area. Additionally, they charge for multiple "consultations" via phone without ever actually seeing the dog. When asked about these charges, we were transferred around to 6 different people and no one was able to give us an answer as to why we had to pay so many fees. The last phone conversation ended with an "I'll get to the bottom of this and call you back" only to never receive a call back and instead received a bill in the mail - again still no explanation. I want my pet to be the focus of the appointment, not a check list of fees read more

Thanks, Yelp fam for the honest reviews on Adobe Animal Hospital. We had a great first visit! I called a week ago to schedule an appointment for Titus and Fleur. They needed vaccine updates and an overall "hey dog, you're healthy" check-up. We were booked the following week, which in the City would have been a month later. From the moment we walked in, the entire staff team were extremely attentive to us. "Is this Titus and Fleur?" as we approached the front desk. This is the best way to create a good customer experience, knowing your customer and being prepared. The vet technician had called Mission Pet Hospital in S.F. to pull all of their records, which saved me the task of bringing 9 years worth of documents. Love it! The two receptionists gave Titus and Fleur so much love. I mean how could you not, they are two, adorable, silly Dachshunds! A visit to the vet is not a favorite outing for my dogs. They become nervous, unsure and hesitant. Treats, pets and upbeat tone made my dogs feel very comfortable and safe. Once the Dr. gave us the all good after administering vaccines, payment and check-out were a breeze. For two dogs, four vaccines and a culture sample, ya'll... my bill was under $300! What a difference in cost. This same visit in the city would have easily run me close to $500, if not more. The reception area has plenty of seating and space for all pets to feel comfortable before seeing the doc. Ample parking is out front as well. I'm pretty happy with this first impression. The facility was clean, bright and welcoming. We'll be back. read more

I rarely write bad reviews, but today's visit to Adobe Animal Hospital was terrible and it was the third unsuccessful visit to get my dog Mochi's blood drawn. Mochi is very sweet but nervous and doesn't like the vet, so they recommended anti-anxiety medicine after the first visit (she never required meds at her previous vet). She was still too anxious on the second visit so they upped the dosage this time. She could barely walk as the nurse took her inside. The nurse failed to comfort her at all and instead dragged her by the leash to the point where it tightened on her neck and she fell over. No attempt to comfort her afterward. Dr. Dekleva entered the room abruptly speaking loudly despite Mochi shaking in the corner. He offered no comfort to her... no petting and no encouragement or treats to calm her down. When he failed to get the blood sample, he became frustrated with both me and the nurse and began to lecture that the drugs weren't helping and "we can't just keep bringing her in over and over" despite him being the one that recommended this in the first place!! He offered no other solutions except bringing her in a fourth time and putting her under, which at this point I don't trust him to do. I kept calm as I didn't want to cause a scene, but I'm baffled by his unprofessional behavior and obvious lack of patience with nervous dogs. I've also found that the clerks have been rude during multiple visits here. Needless to say I won't be returning and will find another vet in the area that can treat Mochi without traumatizing her further. Hope this helps other pet owners to avoid a bad experience! read more

I always know that my dog, Archer, is in the best hands when he goes to Adobe Animal Hospital. Yesterday he had to get some teeth pulled and they made the whole experience super easy. The pricing was in the mid range of their quote and also included the removal of a few small bumps on his eyelid/cheek. I am very happy with the way they have consistently treated my dog and the staff is always willing to answer any questions you may have. Adobe Animal Hospital is the vet I trust for my little guy! read more

Brought all of our animals to Dr. Visco at Adobe for years, when he retired we found a vet in sebastopol for who was familiar with pugs but she has moved on. When I went back to Adobe for our new pugs first visit I was not allowed in the room during the exam, I should have insisted. When Dr. Kidwell came out of the exam I was told there were several thing Otis would not let her do, I could have helped. Went back once more for an emergency, Otis was attacked and bleeding. I dropped him off and came to get him later. He had one stitch to the ear (which was not done well) and a slight abrasion that they cleaned (no bandage needed), the bill was over $400. I now go to Washington Square Vet. where I assisted the vet in keeping Otis calm while she completed what they could not do at Adobe. We miss Dr. Visco but won't be going back to Adobe. read more

Yeah, I see Angelica D's 5/17/2022 review pop up over my more current 3/30/2023 review. I too used to like Adobe Animal Hospital, I went to them for 6 years, until this year when I was told that due to my texts I could no longer do business there. HUGE! As I said in my review, I wasn't profane, name calling except I did say picking the phone up and hanging it up was "lazy", didn't raise my voice, expressed frustration with the fact that they had messed up my appointments to an alarming degree. I see reviewer Sel C. also says they were hung up on. So, here I'm dumped and yesterday I get an email reminding me that I have an upcoming appointment for my cat Beauty for vaccines and a parasite test. Today is 3/5/23, Beauty was already seen on 3/27/23 for a rabies vaccine and nail trim. My cats are all indoor so I cancelled the parasite test that they assigned, not me. My next and rudely cancelled appointment for the next day was cancelled by email at 6:11 p.m. the evening before. I didn't check my email that evening and brought my terrified and hence medicated cat in only to be told they would no longer do business with me So, the dates, procedures and that Beauty had already been seen AND that I was dumped as a client and am being reminded of an appointment with the wrong cat for the (already cancelled, parasite test) were ALL MESSED UP. THIS REPRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE NUMBER OF ERRORS IN MOST ALL PROFESSIONS. They never took responsibility for the number of errors and made me the scapegoat. Something has gone terribly wrong with Adobe Animal Hospital. I believe that the Office Manager is abusive (my terrified and hence medicated cat now has to go through it again) and doesn't take responsibility for the errors and frustrations that they cause their customers. And, reading their reviews, it looks like Adobe has been going downhill for a very long time. read more

I really am having a hard time saying anything nice about this place. They are extremely overpriced; and the secretaries working there are rude and will charge you as much as they can for each and every service, or shot, or medication provided. All three of my dogs are patients here, but am looking into finding a new animal clinic that does not call animal services regarding my pit bull and have them make sure he is licensed. I have another dog I took there around the same time, my pit bulls daughter, and I received nothing regarding her license. I honestly feel like if I am going to be charged 350 to establish care for my dog with them; that is for shots, and exam, and what not.... I feel like they should not treat me like a pariah when I walk into their office. 850 to get my dog neutered. They are stuck up and rude period. read more

I can't express how much this place means to me and my furry family. We've been with Dr. Stemwidell for almost 10 years and she's never allowed to retire! Literally a guardian angel. I trust her and her team explicitly. They treat us like family and do everything in their power to keep my babies happy and comfortable. When my little boy Tim kitty needed a blood transfusion one of the techs played him "soothing cat music". Who does that?! These guys! I recommend them to everyone and anyone. They don't treat you like a credit card. They're pragmatic and make sure you understand everything so you can make the most educated decision for your family. We're definitely clients for life. read more

Came to get dog's nails clipped. I had to wait by my car, which is fine because of pandemic. However, after about 15 minutes or so I heard a gagging gasping sound and looked up to see vet tech dragging my dog back out by leash that had tightened around his throat. He already does not like going to the vet of course and this definitely was a bad experience. read more

My dog was a patient here with an ongoing history of respiratory infections that all doctors were aware of and attempted to treat her for. She developed a rash on her belly as well as her breathing had been heavier lately and was on a waiting list for two weeks until she was scheduled for an appointment. When I brought her to her appointment, the vet tech asked me a series of questions and ended with informing me it was a drop off appointment and to pick her up in a 3-4 hours to which I had no idea she was not being seen immediately. I told the vet tech I was not aware of this and she did not say anything. When I left the appointment I called the hospital to make sure I was not being charged for a holding fee for something I was unaware of and at no point did Jocelyn who initially scheduled the appointment disclose that it was a drop off. The woman who I spoke with on the phone was condescending and rude in the way she was speaking to me as if it was my error in not knowing I would be charged for a drop off appointment . She told me when I hear the words "drop off" that should be my "cue" to not take it. Don't you think when the patient says they did not know and was not told it was a drop off that it would be YOUR "cue" to let them know what that means and what it entails? This is not the first scheduling issue Adobe has made with my dog. The first time I went to cancel an appointment, they said they never even had my dog on the schedule. As much money as they've gotten from my family with no trouble over the past year, they could not fathom to waive a measly $30 fee for something the patient was completely unaware of??? After telling me yes there was a charge for holding I asked again why no one disclosed this to me and to remove the fee for that reason and I was told I can either pay the fee or come pick the dog up to reschedule. My dog already had to wait 2 weeks to be seen which is fine I understand they are busy but neither of those options seemed fair to me nor my dog. After putting me on hold again, the receptionist came back and said they will not charge me the $30 holding fee and to come pick my dog up 2 hours later instead of the 3-4. I came back to pick my dog up and spoke with Dr. Stemwedel who literally said to my face that she noticed my dogs breathing was heavier than normal but the antibiotics she is being prescribed for her "bacterial infection" on her belly work well on lungs and if she hasn't improved in a week they recommended another round of chest X-rays. My dog did not make it through the weekend. I brought her in on a Friday. Her breathing progressively got worse into the day and we rushed her to the emergency hospital Sunday morning to which she passed away soon after. The emergency hospital immediately put my dog on oxygen and said she should've been hospitalized much sooner considering the state of her condition. They also said the rash on her belly in no way looked like a bacterial infection and should've been treated differently but that is besides the point. I fully believe and know that Adobe Animal Hospital failed my dog that day. They punished my dog for RESPECTFULLY AND UNDERSTANDABLY expressing my concern about the whole drop off thing by rushing my dog out of their hospital since they weren't getting that $30 fee. They failed to take her excessive exertion of breathing serious all because of the office being busy that day and they wanted to get her out of there asap. My dog could not breathe. I am not blaming them for my dogs death, I am blaming them for the letting my dog leave that day knowing and acknowledging her discomfort in her breathing especially with her known history of respiratory problems. From the staff not disclosing full information of appointments, mistreatment to the patient for not being aware of hidden fees, to what's most important is the NEGLECT of the animal. Had my dog been hospitalized and put down that same day, she would not have had to struggle to BREATHE like she did for another day and a half. Shame on Adobe Animal Hospital. read more

We have taken our animals here for years, but I no longer recommend Adobe. They have become dollar-driven in an increasingly obvious way. The techs are more like bank clerks, smiling & friendly as long as you don't question any of their numerous charges. We're done with this place. I would caution anyone else against Adobe, which saddens me to say. But I do feel obligated to warn other pet owners. read more

We brought our 12 year old pitbull in due to an ear yeast infection. The vet prescribed Otomax and after three days of treatment, our perfectly healthy, alert dog is now DEAF. We've been trying to get the vet to call us and/or see our dog but the vet tech has now called twice at the end of the day saying the vet isn't in and won't be in for a couple days. WTF Is wrong with this place. I will be filing a formal complaint with the veterinarian board. read more

I have 2 spoiled cats (Luna & Lucian) that are very precious to me! After my lengthy research I decided to go to Adobe for their physical exams.

These folks have my loyalty after they very generously fit me into their busy Friday when my pup was having trouble with her glands and needed them expressed pronto. I did not find them to be overpriced in any way at all, contrary to other reviews here. The back story was that I had called 5 other local Petaluma Vet Hospitals, they either had only appointments in 5 to 7 days and/or insisted on an expensive doctor check up to bulk up the appointment fee. I was confused and frustrated as I was used to Berkeley Vet hospitals that were available for immediate appointments when needed and happy to serve you and your pet. I actually do not care about the cost when it comes to her, her Vet appointments generally run $600+ (she's accident prone) so I was prepared for anything - but the notion that this was necessary for a dog who was up to date in everything and healthy in every other way was silly, it's absolutely not necessary in a procedure of this type. Meagan at Adobe was kind, professional, thoughtful and took a moment to allow me to express my concerns and then scheduled an appointment with their Urgent Care that day - incredibly kind of her and the team there! As I suspected, my dog did need immediate care and I'm so glad I didn't wait for an appointment with the other Petaluma Vet Hospitals. She let me email my dog's records and vaccine info and we were all set. The Vet at Adobe, Dr. Deklava, was concise, clear, caring and got straight to it - my cousin is a Vet and I know how tough the work is and it was at the end of what was probably a long day. When one is concerned about the health of their pet, it makes such a difference to work with kind professional(s) like this. And a shout out to the absolutely lovely Vet Tech that assisted, I didn't catch her name but very much appreciated her energy. Also, they have a side entry for nervous pups that don't do well in a shared waiting space - and their offices are clean and have no "sick" pet smell. I wish I could give them 10 Stars, very impressive! read more

My dog Beau has gone to this vet for 10 years. In the last 2 weeks I have needed them twice ands they were useless. My dog had an infected foot, they couldn't see him for 3 days. I had to go to the emergency vet, who were great. I just tried to get some anxiety meds for the 4th and they said they couldn't prescribe because it has been more than a year. I understand that, and said I would make an appointment next week, but it is rather urgent and of course they can't see my dog for weeks. I agree with many of the current reviews. They have stopped caring about pets and only care about money. They are way over scheduled and can't be bothered to save some time for same day appointments. I guess that new building was expensive. read more

I just switched from this veterinarian office because of a greedy policy of theirs. They charge an extra fee for same day appointments. They consider this an "emergency appointment" so they take advantage of their patients by tacking on an additional same day appointment fee. I have never heard of such a thing from any other veterinarian practice. As a pet parent and from my perspective either you have an available appointment or you don't, but don't charge an additional fee for a same day appointment. Let me be clear...I'm not referring to being squeezed into an appointment between 2 regularly scheduled (like they are making an exception) no, I'm talking about a regular appointment that happened to be scheduled the same day. This is the definition of gouging, to take advantage and charge more money when the need is higher then normal. If you are a client of theirs and they happen to have a same day appointment opening and your fur baby is in need of getting in to see the veterinarian asap how can they justify an extra fee? I say somewhere along the way the bean counters and or policy makers of this business lost their heart and forgot why they got into veterinarian medicine in the first place...maybe for the love of animals? I think this is a very greedy policy that I cannot support and it also shows how they think and run their practice to cover overhead. Makes one wonder what else they do to cover overhead. If I have an animal emergency after hours I expect to pay more at a emergency pet hospital but not at my everyday veterinarian office during normal business hours. read more

Dr. Dekleva is simply amazing and so are the kind and patient techs at Adobe Animal Hospital. Our bulldog is very hesitant and scared of the vet ever since she was hospitalized at a different vet hospital and had (what I'm guessing) was a bad experience with a veterinarian during her stay. Ever since that stay she has been terrified of stethoscopes and vet offices. Dr. Dekleva always remembers that she gets anxious and scared, is patient with her, works with her to make her feel comfortable, and eases in to each exam to earn her trust every time. He is honest when tests or treatments aren't necessary and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. Gracie is so thankful to Dr. Dekleva and the amazing people at Adobe Animal Hospital for being so kind and patient with her, even when she is scared and not at her friendliest. Glad we finally found the best vet! read more

Ok, this is gross but I noticed our pug scooting and saw he had tape worm that morning on his walk. Ewwww, in a slight panic I wanted to get him to the Vet asap. Unfortunately, I lost my cell the day before (when it rains, it pours!). Fortunately, they have a direct email on their website. I emailed and then just showed up anyway without an appointment. They were able to see him right away, prescribe meds and expressed his anal glands too. Love these guys! Wonderful, small family style Vet office. Very clean, friendly staff and effective care. read more
