Hi Jeanette, Sunnie and the Peaceful Pets Family-…read more I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you did for our family today. Saying goodbye to Ace was one of the hardest things we've ever had to do, and you and Sunnie made it as peaceful and loving as it could possibly be. The way you cared for him--and for all of us--meant more than I can put into words. You took the time to talk with us and our kids. You explained everything in a way that made sense and bought calm. You made our children feel safe and supported no matter what they were feeling. That meant everything to us. You gave us space and time to say goodbye to our good boy in a way that was meaningful and kind. And the little touches... the blanket under his head, the pets and love you gave, the fur you kept and boxed for our children, the invitation for our kids to write a letter that will be with him forever, the calm and warmth you created--it didn't feel clinical, it felt like family. You gave us a moment we'll always be grateful for in the middle of so much heartbreak. Thank you for the love, compassion, and dignity you gave Ace and our whole family today. We will never forget it.

I didn't know how I would react the day I had to say goodbye to my sweet boy, Kaid. When Peaceful…read morePet Services pulled up, it suddenly became very real, and I instantly broke down. The first thing they did was greet me with kindness and hand me Kleenex. Such a small gesture, but it meant everything in that moment. They took the time to talk with us about Kaid's life, and right away they felt like family. They were incredibly kind, respectful, and compassionate, making sure Kaid was as comfortable as possible the entire time. They surrounded him with the love he deserved and gave us so much support and comfort too. They thought of everything. When his paws got muddy, they had wet wipes ready. They brought treats and even a blanket to gently rest his head. We also had our other dog there, and they didn't overlook him either. They gave him love and attention so we could focus on saying our final goodbyes. After Kaid passed, they continued to treat him with such gentleness and care. I know I'll replay those final moments in my mind over and over, but I feel at peace knowing how deeply loved and comforted he was. I am so incredibly grateful to Peaceful Pet Services for giving our boy such a loving and peaceful send-off. I truly can't recommend them enough during one of the hardest moments a pet owner can face.

While we were traveling, our 6-pound Maltese suffered a severe anaphylactic reaction after a bee sting. Within minutes he was vomiting, had lost control of his bowels, was breathing rapidly, became weak and disoriented, and looked like he was slipping away. It was one of the most terrifying experiences our family has ever faced. The moment we arrived, panicked and desperate, although they are not an emergency clinic, they helped us. After the Dr. said he could see our dog, everyone acted immediately. Our dog was taken back without time wasted, and the entire team worked quickly while keeping us informed every step of the way. Dr. Moran was calm, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His confidence and expertise gave us hope when we needed it most. The veterinary nurses and staff were wonderful--kind, attentive, and excellent at communicating throughout the entire process. The front desk team was equally amazing, showing genuine compassion and making an incredibly stressful situation a little easier. The care didn't end when we left the office. Receiving a personal phone call a few days later to check on our little guy and make sure he was continuing to recover meant so much to our family. That level of kindness and dedication is something you rarely experience, and it speaks volumes about how much they truly care about their patients. Because of the incredible care we received, our beloved dog is still with us today. If you're looking for a veterinary office that combines exceptional medical care with genuine compassion, this is the place. Thank you all for giving our little boy a second chance at life. We are forever grateful.

I would give this place zero stars if I could! I thought this place would be a good option given…read morethe positive reviews but when I walked into the office it was anything but. For starters, when the vet tech asked me to place my dog on the scale I noticed that there was a huge puddle of urine on it. Yuck! I asked her to clean it up before I'd place my dog on that scale. That's beyond unsanitary! Then when we got to the exam room, that also looked unsanitary! The mat on the exam table had what looked like dried urine stains and nothing smelled clean or sanitized. Really gross and now I'm worried that my dog could have been exposed to something since it's likely nothing in that exam room had been cleaned. I should have left right then and there, and wish I had because things didn't get any better. The vet took forever to come into the room. I was only there to get my dog vaccine boosters but felt they were trying to evaluate and look for random diagnosis. They also were pushy about heart worm testing and charged an arm and a leg for core vaccines. Much more than any place I've ever been. It felt very scammy. And when checking out and paying the hefty bill the receptionists weren't very friendly. Honestly, the whole place just had a bad vibe. I wish I never took my pet here. I don't plan on bringing my pet here ever again and I feel very upset that I trusted bringing her here in the first place. I can't understand how anyone gives this place a positive review. My experience was bad!!

DO NOT GO HERE-THEY REMOVE ANYTHING NOT POSITIVE OR 5 STAR REVIEWS THEYRE SCAMMING DISHONEST BUSINESS PPL PROFIT OVER PETS!!!!!....The female veterinarian effectively killed my dog. She was useless with every question I asked- it took 5 days later for the male veterinarian, to get back from vacation, and give me a call and be completely flabbergasted himself that the news that my dog was fatally ill was not properly said to me, I ended up having to lose that dog 2 hours later, when he was running around playing just fine - by being put down at an emergency vet they recommended I go to-- I don't know about you, but if you love your dogs... go somewhere else. That was my terminally ill daughter's medical Therapy dog and he had no problems at all. And as soon as I had concerns, everything was downplayed by the female veterinarian and vaguely explained, and at no point was any urgency of his fatality mentioned, I asked specifically if this was a dog who was about to die considering he was acting completely fine and showed no outward signs of illness or pain.. And she denied it staunchly, the male veterinarian, could not believe that she would say those things to me in the sense that he was so devastated, that she did, what she did and handled it the way that she did, I'm glad that he's better than her. But I still dont want to ever take another one of my pets back here again. My dog had a condition that could have been treated if intervened properly when I first had concerns of mild things months and months ago. The concerns were not properly cared for and now he has passed on from one day to the next he was completely fine, and now we've lost our boy.

Today I left this office after 4 years and will never look back. My frustration comes after a…read moreseries of unacceptable mistakes that public needs to know. My personal mistake was to keep going to this place due to the amazing reviews so I thought that I was just having bad luck. We start a couple of years ago with an ear infection when the dog came back from the back of the office with the wrong ear treated. About 1 y and a half ago I brought my dog in for limping, dr Kim diagnosed elbow's arthritis, 2 light walks a day for the rest of his life. Nothing to really do about it. It sounded dumb to me since the dog was only 3 y old so I contacted an orthopedic, the orthopedic removed a broken anaconeal process that dr Kim didn't see at the XRay and talked to me about a very modern treatment which we promptly jumped on, the dog was up and running normal in 2 months. Last year doctor Oh sent me to the ER with a diagnosis of GDV while my dog was actively vomiting fluids (1st hint of the fact that couldn't have been GDV) wasn't bloated, wasn't panting, wasn't foaming, because he had confused an enlarged prostate with a stomach on the X-Ray. Access Woodland Hills pulled up the dog in 24h with simple antibiotics. Today it was the culprit, with the dumbest conversation I ever had in 50 years of my life with the front desk. My dog has lost 2 or 3 pounds in last few months. He went from about 92 to 88. Or who knows? the scale they have in the office is never accurate. Without saying anything a couple of months ago they had put him on a lower dosage of cytopoint which I noticed just from the fact that they billed me a lower price and that the medication hadn't been effective at all all of sudden. Whoever has a dog with skin issue knows how nasty it can get very quickly. I complained 3 times in separate occasions, in person and over the phone, I brought it up when I booked the appointment and today I went back saying again that his skin is a mess and I needed the dosage he has been doing for the last 2 years. They put him on the scale and his weight was 89.5 lb, like for real I am not making it up. Higher dosage starts at 90 lb, there's nothing they can do. They didn't offer a consultation, they didn't offer an alternative plan, the desk employer looked so satisfied that she wasn't going to follow this annoying patient's request. I was boiling, I just couldn't handle so much stupidity, I threw the muzzle I was holding in my hands on the scale which bumped on 90 lb and I asked if I could have his regular dosage now. They called me rude. I didn't have the patience to handle so much retardation. I left and randomly called Pinnacle. They fit me in, visited the dog, gave me his old dosage of cytopoint (surprise surprise they charge less) added apoquel and antibiotics (this how bad his skin was), loaded me with info about soaps and creams, dr Amsel and his technician visited the dog without muzzle before my eyes and without all the scenes that I was used to get at AMC for my 'aggressive ' dog, and I paid a total of 500 dollars which would have covered only 2 cytopoint injection at AMC. AMC takes more patients they can handle. There's always a different technician, a different doctor, front staff looks always overworked tired and confused, only thing are good at is chasing you with a reminder of any possible vaccine. Dr Kim is always rushing, one time to cut corners, because it was late and waiting room was still full she shouted to me the procedure she was about to do on my older dog from behind the front counter while I was sitting in the waiting room and everyone around me was talking. How professional is that? I hate bad reviews but if you are not detailed oriented passionate and professional in medical care maybe it's not your job. And always advocate for your pet and ask second opinions, because if your pet has a real health issue this place can't go beyond vaccines, flea medications and spay or neuter.

I'm still fairly new to California and LA, and we needed a vet for our cats. I was drawn to Tags by…read moretheir mission and values. It may honestly be the first time I've seen or paid attention to something. Like this at a vet's office, but it really resonated with me. What an amazing experience this was! Maybe the best I and the cats have ever had at a vet. Before the visit, I was so worried about taking my cats here because one has ridiculous anxiety. However, our guy did really well compared to other visits at other offices. I was worried that it was walk in only, but it was quicker than any other office I've ever made an appointment with. Despite having a steady crowd that day, but I don't think we waited more than 5 minutes to be seen. Despite not having a waiting room (huge plus), they were well organized with queues depending on the service you needed. We were only getting updated vaccinations that day and had 3 people in front of us, plus a few others in different queues. I will add that when we visited there was some construction happening in the parking space right in front of the door - to no fault of the clinic. There was a lot of jackhammering and the staff did what they could to help clients and animals minimize time there. One we got into the clinic, it took us less than 10 minutes to do new patient registration for all 3 cats and me, pay, get their shots and get back to the car. The cats stayed I their carriers through the whole process and the young woman who gave the shots was so sweet with them. She, and really all the staff really seem to care about all animals. She may be the first person who didn't make our anxious boy cry the entire time while getting his vaccinations. She was also so gentle with our geriatric boy who has arthritis and had a bad flare up that day. The clinic area had an animal smell to it; like animals have had accidents in there, but it was strong, powerful, or like it was permanent; more like we may have just come in after an accident that was just cleaned up. Thankfully we didn't need any thing more serious that day, but I will most likely end up here if anything does happen. I was able to watch a few other owners who were dropping off or picking up from procedures and I could see how much love each staff member had for the animals. I have never felt so secure with a vet as I did Tags. Yes, their operation may seem unorthodox, but in their work you can see they truly put the animal and advocacy before any optics. They don't have a fancy waiting room to make you, as the human, feel pampered or bougie. They care about the animal experience and that really matters to me. Based on my anxious boys demeanor during and after our visit, this is by far the best clinic we've ever had. 10/10 could not recommend more!

Unfortunately, within 19 days of the injection, Cooper passed away after experiencing severe adverse effects. When we called the clinic a few days after the injection, we were reassured by a veterinary technician that the symptoms were normal side effects that would resolve in a couple of days, or that Cooper was simply having an "off day." We trusted that advice. Looking back, I wish we had been encouraged to review the available research and potential risks beforehand so we could have made a fully informed decision. We also informed Taylor, the receptionist, that Cooper had to be put down on September 1st. We had expected a call from Dr. Raya offering condolences, but no such outreach was made. His lack of acknowledgement during such a difficult time was deeply disappointing. We inquired whether the adverse side effects should be reported directly by the veterinary clinic. The office manager advised that the responsibility for reporting rests with me and provided the contact information for Librela's manufacturer, Zoetis. No complaints with the staff. Staff has always been great especially Taylor and Sarah, who is probably no longer there.
