First time appointment is around 1 hour and a half and it was awesome. Dr Carter really looked all of my dog's history since he was born and asked us so many questions that no regular vet takes the time to do. This place uses chinese medicine, thermal scanning, gut microbiome and other non invasive techniques to look for the root of the patient's issue.

The initial session for 90 minutes flew by and there was a lot of information and services that they offered, including red light therapy, water therapy, gym/physical therapy and Adequan shots. While it can be costly. I feel like the services are 100% worthwhile. It doesn't hurt that. We also have pet insurance. The facility is always clean. In my opinion very well run, organized with receipts being sent over email and confirmation calls and emails. What's stood out most is Dr. Schuda encouraging us to get an MRI which we did (at another specialty hospital) to properly diagnose my dog's ailment. It makes so much sense so that we can customize her therapy and rehab correctly. She has been in communication with all of our vets now, our holistic vet, neurologist, and surgeon. It's like having a specialized liaison to customize Glory's treatment. We are thankful to have found (been referred by a friend) to Animals Only. An extra perk is that it's close to home and easy to get to. Scheduling has been easy. 10/10!

TLDR: Animals Only offers superior PT and rehabilitation for our precious fur babies. You and your…read moreloved ones will feel properly cared for in their beautifully balanced personal and professional clinic. While every case is, of course, unique, we are SO thrilled to share that we have had enormous success with our young pup's dual hind MPL - from limping to now sprinting about, much of which is thanks to the hard work and care Animals Only provided to our pack. When our 9 month old, mixed, small breed puppy, Zaniyah, had a minor slip and fall and could not bear weight on her left hind, exhibiting a limp, we got her checked immediately, thinking she had a minor accident. It ended up being more than we thought: she was diagnosed with MPL grade 3 in her left hind, grade 1-2 in her right hind, and both her hind legs exhibiting bone deformity. We knew we were in for a long haul into territory we had never ventured. I immediately sought consultations with rehab clinics to get her what she needed, in hopes to bypass surgery, if possible. Our primary vet, Dr. Stuart at Coast View, suggested Animal's Only along with other clinics. From the moment I called and spoke with Todd, Animal Only's co-owner and manager, I knew they were going to be a great fit for our baby girl, and would offer a plan tailored to her needs. Animal's Only's convenient location , positive, care-forward vibe from the team and Dr. Schuda's kind, supportive and knowledgeable care only solidified my confidence. Zaniyah loved her new friends, right away, too! Our baby girl was gently pre-habilitated with AO for about 2.5 months to get her ready for surgery, mainly utilizing gym sessions and water/hydrotherapy. While the nature of Zaniyah's condition in her left hind ended up requiring surgery, we were able to coordinate with her speciality surgeon in LA alongside AO to give her the best rate of success and full recovery. Dr. Schuda was diligent with keeping Zaniyah's professional team updated, ensuring comprehensive care. Once Zaniyah healed enough from her surgery, approx a month post-op, we resumed PT under AO's care which lasted about 4.5 months. We added some laser therapy to her care alongside the gym and hydro treadmill. We also opted for Adequan injections to help her joints have the proper fluid flow, encouraging healing. We were exceedingly diligent with her at-home care and exercises, adhering to detailed instruction given by Dr. Schuda and the team. From the beginning of our time doing pre-hab/pre-surgery thru her rehabilitation after surgery, Zaniyah loved her time at the clinic, and so did we. While it definitely is a journey of ups and downs - as is the case with the trajectory of this type of healing - so long as you put in the time, care and commitment to the journey, you absolutely will have the support, guidance and top-notch skills needed to get your fur baby to the most optimal outcome. It is worth it. Zaniyah graduated from Animals Only a couple months ago and is truly thriving. She has not needed another surgery despite her right hind still having MPL grade 1-2 and minor skeletal deformity (you'd never be able to tell by looking at her though). We are certain that all the time, effort and care from prehab to rehab directly attributed to our success story. We are SO grateful for Animals Only providing the very best care and love to our pack. You will be, too.

While overall, I like the technicians, front staff and vets we have seen, it took an hour and half for the appointment. We didn't see the vet until after 40 min.

Luckily, I found one that worked out well after doing our own google research but it seems like something the vet should have done.

I brought my dog in because he had a lump on his toe that I wanted to get taken off and my regular vet told me to amputate his toe since the skin is too tight around there. Instead I came here for a second opinion and Dr easily said he could do it. My dog is a 9 yr old Doberman and he's also been experiencing some prostate issues. I told Dr what's going on and that we had just had a open body surgery to remove the mass from his prostate at VSH sorrento valley that was unsuccessful. They literally cut him open and closed him back up. So when I told this Dr here at AOSSD, he took a look at it using his ultrasound machine while my dog was under surgery for his toe. He later told me that his prostate is just enlarged, not that there was a mass. What I'm trying to say is that, Dr was so kind and didn't charge me for the ultrasound! He also did a great job on my dogs toe and it healed perfectly! Honestly if this was a regular vet office I would choose to go here for all my pets.

Dr. John and his staff are VERY kind, professional, and helpful! You can tell that they truly love…read moreanimals and are so loving toward them. 1) HONEST VET: Dr. John only does what is necessary and best for the animal. He does NOT try to nickel and dime you. Instead, he gives as many discounts as he can. Dr. John is honest and super practical. He is an extremely experienced vet. 2) EDUCATIONAL: During my dog's initial exam, Dr. John took the time to explain everything. I did not feel rushed at all--it was great! He is passionate about what he does. He was very thorough. I've owned dogs for most of my life, but I learned so much about dog healthcare from him. 3) EXCELLENT DENTAL CARE: My dog underwent dental surgery here. My dog's teeth were very stained before her surgery, but Dr. John and his techs cleaned them SO well. My dog's teeth were SUPER white and clean! They looked like puppy teeth! More importantly, Dr. John takes extra steps to ensure your pet's safety during the procedure. (For example, they start a catheter.) He also monitors your pet very closely during and after the procedure. 4) ABOVE AND BEYOND: While she was under anesthesia, they surgically removed her skin tag, clipped her nails, gave her saline bolus, and gave her 24-hour antibiotics--ALL FREE OF CHARGE!!! 5) CLEAN: They have a brand-new facility that is well maintained and ultra clean, which I appreciate. 6) STAFF: Yvonne, the tech, is so sweet! When I got there, she was cuddling my dog and telling me all of the funny things that my dog was doing while I was gone. After the procedure, they noticed that my dog did not like being in the crate, so they let her run around inside, since there weren't any other dogs there. His receptionists are very friendly, helpful, and informative, as well! 7) AVAILABILITY: It is so easy to book appointments, and they have a lot of availability. Also, when I call the office with question, Dr. John himself will get on the phone to answer it. He is very hands-on. 110% recommended!!!!!

I've interacted with Dr. Morisi multiple times as he is my mother's dog's vet. He is good at…read morehandling animals. I will give him that. But he always seemed fairly condescending and full of himself to me. We were watching my sister's dog and she suddenly had a squinting eye and I was concerned so I brought her in. He was dismissive of my suggestions, cut me off while I was trying to answer one of his questions and was rude in his response in doing so. I said we weren't aware of any injury that had taken place to cause the squinting. I wondered if she was also experiencing allergies because her other eye, while not squinting and or with swollen lids, was pretty red. He dismissed that, said if allergies were part of the issue, both eyes would be squinting. Fine. Then he asked me "is the discharge watery or is it mucus-y?" I was replying, I was going to say "Yeah, it's more mucus-y" but as soon as I said "yeah, it's" he rudely cut me off and said "I just asked you if it was watery or mucusy and you said 'yeah' so which is it?" I'm like, well, if you hadn't cut me off after two words in my sentence, if you had let me say the other two words in my sentence, it would've been faster and you wouldn't look like an asshole right now. My sister came to get her dog and took her to her vet and that vet said that she believed the dog was experiencing itchy eyes from allergies and had been scratching at the one eye with her paw and damaged her cornea. She said the insides of her ears were irritated and red, too, further pointing toward allergies. She agreed with the medicated eye drops our dismissive vet prescribed but said that the dog would also need allergy medicine, it wasn't enough to treat just the eye injury, the allergic reaction in the eyes need to be treated too, to remove the source of discomfort that had caused her to feel compelled to do the behavior that ended up hurting her in the first place. Just because you're the "expert" in the room doesn't mean you're necessarily smarter or more observant than than your clients, generally speaking. You should converse with humans paying your bills and trusting you to care for their animals with respect. You were right about the injury but I was right about the allergies being involved in this issue. If we had a car, my mom and I would switch vets happily. I don't know why people who have their choice of vets would stick around to have to converse with that man. He didn't even suggest a cone which my sister's vet said is basic practice a vet should carry out when there's eye damage, to protect the eye from exposure to anything. My mom and I, seeing she was trying to scratch her eye and rub it on the carpet after getting home, decided she needed a cone and luckily had an old one from an incident with her dog a couple of years prior. That's some gross incompetence on his part. Inadequate and rude.
