    Busters last time climbing on my shoulder
    Crazy Bernie S.

    Just want to shout out to everyone at APH one last time. Dr Rajat Sekhri helped us with euthanizing our little boy Buster today. Buster was our 14 year old Pomeranian. Many in the Central Valley knew Buster as he was in almost all of my Crazy Bernie commercials from 2012 until we closed in 2021. He was the very best dog that ever walked the earth and the crew at APH always treated him like he was a king. Right up until the end. If I ever get another Dog he will be a patient of there's.

    We found a kitten outside of Colton's Social House and decided to keep her! Which means a trip to Armstrong's is happening. We already knew the kitten needed a flea treatment, but after the vet inspected her he also noticed she had worms. Armstrong Pet Hospital offers a kitten vaccination and checkup plan; for $350 you get every vaccination required, two flea treatments, they check for worms, leukemia, and your third visit is free. You can also space out the payments or, if you have it, they take pet insurance. This kept the new kitten health-process simple. The staff here is very thoughtful when it comes to putting down pets. They have a candle station with a sign that states something like, "if this candle is lit, a furry friend is crossing the rainbow bridge." We all know what it's like to lose a pet, so this small gesture of peace is very sweet. This is the same pet hospital that we bring our older cat, which made this visit easy and fast. They do take walk-ins, but I recommend making an appointment before just showing up. It will reduce your time waiting in the lobby.

    Missed Diagnosis and Lack of Compassionate Follow-Through As a devoted pet owner who has been bringing our pets to Armstrong Pet Hospital for years, I always chose this clinic because I trusted them to provide thorough care and put our animals' health first. Unfortunately, my recent experience with our cat, Rocket, has been deeply disappointing and has shaken my confidence in their attention to detail and customer care. About a week and a half ago, we brought our beloved cat, Rocket, in for a check-up because he was scooting on the carpet. My husband also mentioned he was limping on his right leg. The vet gave a very quick look and said he seemed fine--no further exam or concern was raised. A few days later, the limping continued. I called to ask about pain relief, but was told he needed another in-person visit and another office fee, even though we'd just been there. I asked for a callback to discuss options. I never received one. Then an abscess appeared on the same leg. Today's appointment confirmed Rocket needs surgery to treat it, costing nearly $1,000. When I asked if this could have been caught earlier with a more thorough exam, the vet acknowledged (indirectly) that it likely could have been. We arrived 10 minutes late for today's appointment and waited 55 minutes before being seen for only about 5 minutes. I expressed my concern about the missed opportunity for early detection and the significant cost, and a staff member assured me a manager would review and possibly adjust the bill. When I picked Rocket up, the bill was reduced by only $56 (for the office visit), bringing the total to $900. No other adjustment was made, and there were no notes in the system about my concerns. The manager had left early and never followed up. A $56 discount felt insulting after the missed diagnosis, the lack of follow-through, and the emotional and financial strain of an unexpected $900 surgery bill. Pet owners deserve a clinic that listens, takes responsibility when something is overlooked, and offers meaningful accountability--especially when it means our pets suffer. I felt completely unheard and undervalued as someone who cares deeply about my cat's well-being. If you're looking for a trustworthy vet who prioritizes compassionate, thorough care and clear communication, I recommend looking elsewhere. Your pet deserves better.

    Armstrong Pet Hospital got us in immediately when we called! Our normal vet could not see us and our pup was very sick. Dr. Raj was efficient and knowledgeable. We were very very pleased with the service, compassion, and care that the team gave our sweet Louie boy this evening! Our normal vet may have just lost a patient!

    I accidentally cut her nails too short. Needless to say I don't cut her nails anymore. I take her to a groomer!

    Quick and efficient! They really do a nice job of fitting you in if you have an issue with your pet. The facility is clean and they really do care.

    I would like to know if they also help with small pets, specifically hamsters and guinea pigs?

    Hi we do not see those pets. We recommend calling Waterhouse Animal or San Joaquin Hospital for care of them

    Do you offer dematting services (cats)?

    Service for Ear clipping?

    We do not offer Ear Cropping. We do recommend you call Elm Veterinary Hospital in Fresno for questions regarding this service.

When things took a turn, they acted fast and even personally took Bentley to the ER without hesitation. That's something we will never forget. A special thank you to Kylie and Joseph you were so kind, patient, and supportive during such a stressful time for us. You didn't just care for Bentley, you really helped us through it too. Because of everything you and your team did Bentley is home with us now, recovering and back to being his happy, goofy self. We are so, so grateful. If you're looking for a vet that truly cares, this is the place. Thank you again for everything

    My recent experience at this clinic was genuinely one of the most disturbing and unsettling…read moreveterinary visits I've ever had. I brought my dog in for what I understood would be a straightforward appointment. She went in calm, normal, and completely herself. When the staff brought her back to me, she was in a state I have not experienced with her before - extremely distressed, trembling, vocalizing, and visibly frightened. This behavior continued long after we left. What made the situation even more upsetting was the level of confusion, inconsistency, and lack of transparency when I tried to understand what had happened during the time she was taken to the back. The explanations I received did not match one another, and the documentation I later requested did not line up with what I had been told in person. I have never left a veterinary clinic with so little clarity and so many unanswered questions. The entire interaction made me feel uneasy and unsure of what actually occurred during her visit. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend this clinic to anyone. I would strongly discourage pet owners from leaving their animals out of sight here or even scheduling an appointment in the first place. I would not return.

Still jumping in the couch and chasing the rc car all the way up to a couple weeks ago. In just three days. She stopped eating and was giving us those eyes that we have seen to often non the last year. I am sure Wesley was calling her to walk with him along the mystical canal. Bella. Also just short of 17 years. Not the most touchy feely girl. She came and laid down on the bed where Dr. Gary and I were sitting. All three are together now.

I kept saying hello, hello for awhile, but realized they disconnected the call. We went to Cedar Veterinary instead and took her and paid for her cremation. Not a good way to handle a call after a person's pet has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Although it was hard to hear but she was honest about what needed to be done. I have been going to Abby pet hospital for 11 + years and take all my fur babies there. My only recommendation would be to give us fur parents a little more time and understanding when going over paperwork right away after making a tough decision. I know and completely understand policies and collection of funds in order to do these things/complete treatment. Just would've liked to have not seen paperwork right away as we were still trying to process the trauma/and heart break. Nevertheless this doesn't take a good review on the ethical part of this establishment. I do wish that before surgery we would've had some more information but unfortunately this did not occur until after and of course it was out of everyone's hands at this point due to the unknown underlying conditions, unfortunately. Love is a beautiful thing, an unexplainable feeling we have for our pets, but know and understand so deeply. Thank you Abby pet hospital doctors and staff for all you do, and for trying just like I did for my best friend. With love and gratitude.
