I took my maltipoo for a Vet visit and vaccinations and staff was super friendly. My dog is very shy and they made her feel very comfortable. I love that they make appointments. I was there for 10 minutes. read more

Love this place I will not take my four furry babies anywhere else but here! I trust them completely and they have Great customer service every one is very friendly and their prices are very reasonable! Totally recommend it read more

If you love your dog you should definitely take your baby to this vet! Super kind and compassionate doctor!! We absolutely love him!! read more

This pet clinic is temporarily closed due to the staff's exposure to COVID. I had an appointment scheduled for my pup, but did not receive ANY notice of this closure, or that my pup's exam had been canceled. It took me having to drive to the office to find out. Completely unprofessional and a complete waste of my time read more

Dr. Grain is awesome. Very intelligent man. He let's you make your own decisions, and isn't pushy. He tells you what he believes should be done, in order to diagnose or treat your animal, but he won't make you do something you don't want to. He doesn't want to do things just for money, and he says "I believe the owners know when it is time for an animal to go, it is not up to me". But he will do anything he can to help your animal. So down to earth, and so caring. His staff are nice, and he's a funny guy! Through our hard times, he has worked with us unconditionally and is very realistic. GO HERE :) read more

Horrible service! If I could give 0 stars I would. My boyfriend, mother in law and I went in to take our dog and everything seemed fine. When they took him into the back to check his vitals another dog came in clearly injured and bleeding. We made small talk with the owners of that dog meanwhile our dog was in the back with the receptionist. She then came out and let the other people know that we were the last patients of the day and they left. She then brings our dog out and asks us to wait for a doctor which we do with no problem. As we're waiting for them to take our dog into the back with the doctor, the receptionist comes back out telling us that they won't see us anymore and refuse service because we were "blabbing our mouths".. Are you kidding me ?! Refusing to see our dog because we simply were talking to the other people there! She then said we were rude and when I asked what we said she couldn't tell us what we said that was apparently so rude. I'm so upset that they refused to see our dog for no reason! Shame on this establishment! read more

Very rarely do I leave a review but I just had to do one today for Dr. Grain and his staff! He has saved my dogs on multiple occasions and always for the best pricing. He is amazingly kind and very sweet with the best business hours for working professionals. My pugs and I swear by him and you should too. read more

My experience here was great. I've taken my dog to several different Vets before, but they never seemed to help. I can honestly say that I've finally found THE place. The staff are super friendly and the Doc knew exactly what was going on with my dog. Will be coming back here again! read more

After several failed attempts to diagnose my itchy rashy pup at another local vet, I stopped here fully frustrated, nervous and out of money. Dr. Grain took one look at my puppers and knew what the problem was. Allergies! The other vet was pumping her full if antibiotics which only temporarily relieved her of the rash and not actually treating the root cause. Just grateful I switched to a knowledgeable Dr because I don't have money to throw out of the window. Friendly staff, A+ Dr read more

I came to Evening Pet Clinic after getting several referrals from long-time customers. They absolutely loved Dr Grain and couldn't recommend him enough for veterinarian care. I hopped on Yelp to check out the reviews and realized Dr Grain retired and some recent folks weren't too thrilled about the new Dr who took over. Nonetheless I scheduled an appointment because I valued my friends' experiences with this place. Leading up to the appointment I figured I would be briefed on what the COVID protocol was, as any other medical office usually does. I walked in 2 mins before my appointment, waited to be greeted after the receptionist got off the phone, and checked my pup in. I wasn't given much direction. The vet assistant came out asked for my pup and started to walk away before I could get a word in about my concerns with him. She then told me the Dr will be out after the check up to talk to me, which seems backwards as I would think you'd want background info on why I'm bringing my dog in. After about 3mins Dr Hardy came out and said my puppy looked fine other than an apparent issue with his eye (in which he offered no immediate treatment for the inflamed, bleeding, discharged area) I then pulled out a list of things I've noticed in the 2 weeks I've had my pup, hoping to get an expert opinion about. It felt like pulling to teeth trying to get info out of Dr Hardy. He was very short, non-chalant and almost patronizing. I had general concerns, but he acted as if I was delusional, in which I suggested to point out the hot spots on my puppy that he claimed were not there. He appeared to be annoyed by my questions, as if I wasn't PAYING FOR HIS TIME! The staff were nice enough, although not the kindest. I won't be going back. I hate that I never got a chance to meet Dr Grain! He seems like such joy! Don't waste your time or money with this new vet. read more

Rarely do I leave reviews, but we had such a horrible experience here, I had to share. I feel like I visited a completely different vet than the one everyone else here has gone to. I initially chose this vet for all the high ratings, and because my boyfriend and I wanted a second opinion about a weird rash on our kitten's paw. We made an appointment for a Saturday afternoon, well before they closed. When we got there, we didn't have to wait long before we were shown into the exam room. It turns out the wait time was by far the best part of our whole experience. The vet tech (from what I could tell, was the only one there) came in, and began the routine vitals check. However, unlike our vet that we normally go to where the techs talk to the animals, are gentle, and appear to like animals in general, this vet tech roughly grabbed our kitten by both the throat and the back of the neck whenever she needed to hold him, took him out of the room to get weighed without telling us where she was going, and took his temperature without asking if one of us could pet him to distract him or anything. Finally, seeing how upset he was getting at this rough treatment, I asked if I could hold him while she continued. Though I did, she still attempted to grab him by the neck though she could have just asked me to keep him still. I was floored. Not once did she pet him, or try to handle him in a gentle manner whatsoever, and our kitten was not acting in any way that deserved this treatment. He was actually very calm until she started manhandling him. Then, the vet came in. While he was nice to us, and slightly nicer to our kitten than the vet tech had been, he did not have the bedside manner that we have come to expect from our normal vet (Bixby Animal Clinic). He told us matter-of-factly our kitten very likely had ringworm (though later tests indicated otherwise), and took a sample of skin to test for ringworm without asking and without giving us a price quote beforehand. After this, we were rushed out of the exam room, though there was only one person in the waiting room when we left. At the reception desk, we got another unexpected surprise. A bill of almost $200! We were shocked, $200 for about 5 min?! It turns out, the ringworm test, which we did not authorize, cost almost $70. The other bulk of the cost was medication, and we were floored at the prices. At our normal vet, they are always more than willing to work with you on prices, especially if you find the same medication somewhere else for cheaper. When we expressed our concerns, we were treated with a very dismissive attitude, until finally we just asked for a copy of the prescription so we could order it ourselves. What Evening Pet Clinic wanted to charge us almost $100 in medications for, we got online for $30. I really don't know how they get patients to return with that kind of markup. After this whole experience, I really don't know who was more upset, my poor kitten or myself. I have never been to a clinic that treated my animals so unkindly, and I will never, EVER be going back here. I had to call a few times to check on the status of the ringworm test, and not once was I asked, "How is your kitten doing?" Maybe I'm just too used to the wonderful treatment of my cats at Bixby Animal Clinic? If you are looking for a good vet, I would recommend going just about anywhere else but here. read more

Dr. Grain truly cares about your pet and he was extremely nice and accommodating to a walk-in on a late Saturday morning. I was referred by the vet I usually go to in Long Beach since he didn't do x-rays. My dog had blood in his stool and it wasn't going away. I only waited about 15 minutes to be seen. Dr. Grain didn't start anything without first telling me the price. Consultation I believe is only $35 dollars. He showed me the x-rays and explained what was happening. The poop was too solid and it shouldn't. He then recommended that besides the medication he was prescribing, that I purchased pumpkin pie filling to help my dog with his bowel movements. I paid $400 for consultation, x-rays (whole body and abdomen), parasites-check and meds for 2 weeks. Much cheaper than I expected. There was a huge mural on his office with thank-you cards, letters and pictures of all the grateful dog owners and dogs that Dr. Grain treated. This guy is loved. Dr. Grain told me that if my dog didn't improve, there would be another exam needed to check for tumors or cancer and quoted me on that too; around $1500. I was in and out in less than two hours. read more

Dr. Is awesome he tells it like it is and gives you options. Never tries to pay for something your pet doesn't need. I have to drive out of my way to see him and gladly do it every time my dogs need to visit read more

I'm proud to say Dr. Grain has been my vet for 10 years. Would love heap on more superlatives--patient, knowledgeable, a great teacher--but many of the reviewers here have already done so. read more

Great vet! was highly recommended to me. needed to get rabies shot for my dog & my reg vet insisted on adding checkup to the cost. Dr. Grain only charged for the shot. hallelujah! when I later had to take my dog in again, his rates were reasonable. he's knowlegeable and personable. staff, namely Olga, are wonderful too. plenty of parking, not waiting. read more

This has been both my dogs veterinarian for over 10 years and I will NEVER be returning here again after today. I had an appointment for 3:30 and wasn't seen till 5. I was told my dog had a heart murmur and needed an x Ray on her chest. I told the receptionist to go ahead and move forward with the X-ray but she told me "it was past their business hours and they're closed". I was there ON TIME for my appointment and they had to inconvenience me to come back again for an x Ray because they pushed my dogs appointment back two hours. Completely unprofessional. I made an appointment to come back the next morning for 9am. When I arrived in the morning at 9, I was told they didn't have an appointment scheduled for my dog but they would still take her, and told me she would be done no later than 12pm. 2pm came around I heard nothing from them. I came back to pick up my dog after calling numerous times and getting no answer and the doctor wasn't even in the office. The X-Ray had already been done (so they should have called me with an update...but didn't) and they said that they "never told me my dog would be done by 12" and both receptionist began to have the worst attitude with me. Not only were they extremely rude but they were unprofessional. Ever since this clinic got its new doctor the good customer service is non existent. My family is VERY disappointed and we, as well with all of our friend and family who take their animals here, will not be returning. Save your money and your time and find a different clinic/vet!!! read more

I've been taking my dogs there for over 15 years now. When I had my pack of 3 dogs I only trusted Dr. G. When my boxer was pregnant and needed an emergency c-section and then when she was diagnosed with limphomic cancer, I trusted him! He's so good even person that bought of her puppies see Dr G now! Now I'm down to the last of my pack and he still see Dr G. Friendly, affordable, down to earth and his staff: Olga and Veronica are the best! read more

We found Dr. Grain at 7 pm on a weekday evening in the midst of an emergency. We had just moved to Long Beach when our six year-old parakeet, Psycho, broke his leg. When we arrived at the office (easy access off the 91 @ Cherry), his staff quickly checked us in and within minutes Dr. Grain was examining our little buddy. He laid out all of our options, including the rare option of surgery to clean out the wound to avoid infection and implanting a metal rod to provide the broken bone support and a better opportunity to heal. We discovered vets rarely perform surgery on birds because they may stop breathing and at that point, there is no way to resuscitate them. As a result, vets will refuse to attempt surgery at all. Not Dr. Grain. He explained the risks. We felt we knew our bird pretty well (tough as nails), so we asked the good doc to perform the surgery. Psycho was scheduled for surgery first thing the following morning. Before noon, we got the good news that Psycho had made it through the surgery and was resting comfortably. We were thrilled. Psycho lived another three years, and we credit Dr. Grain's efforts for giving us those extra years with the coolest parakeet in the world. When Psycho passed away, we turned to the Evening Pet Clinic once again. Dr. Grain's staff was extremely sympathetic and referred us to our options on what to do with his body. Within a few days, we even received a card from Dr. Grain and his Staff offering their condolences. We have been devoted clients of Dr. Grain since 2006. He has tended to the needs of our new parakeet, Rio (unfortunately, she quickly passed away from an upper respiratory infection) and our rescued stray cat, Ming (now healthy after a bout of pancreatitis). Dr. Grain has a down-to-earth personality, an easy laugh and lots of compassion. He tells you everything you need to know and he doesn't sugarcoat, he takes the time to answer questions and makes you feel like your family member is being well taken care of, and they are. Dr. Grain's fees are reasonable, his hours are great for people who work M-F 8-5 type hours. If you live in or around Long Beach, or are willing to take an extra long drive for the best care, then you'll want to head straight to Dr. Grain at the Evening Pet Clinic. read more

I have been to many vets and I am overwhelmed with joy to have found Dr. Grain. He is attentive and answers every single one of your questions. He also follows up with you and your pet to see how your pet is doing. My dogs love him and all the dogs that go see him love him. There hasn't been a moment where I've witnessed or have had a bad experience with Dr. Grain. The staff there is also very pleasant, Kiki and the other lady at the desk are very sweet and happy to help. If you're looking for a vet I highly recommended Dr. Grain. read more

Dr.Grain and his staff Olga, Kiki, and Veronica are SUPER!. Dr. Grain has the greatest personality along with an exceptional skill level and you can tell that he loves what he does. I have taken all four of my dogs here, my youngest dog came down with a case of chronic anemia. Of course, at the time we did not know what she had, but Dr. Grain was able to stabilize her, hand fed her baby food and after her diagnostic test came back he created a treatment plan that has allowed her to return to her playful and happy demeanor. I will forever be in his debt. I love all of my dogs but this was my baby and she is the love of my life. Thank You Dr. Grain read more

I recently took in an abandoned cat and brought her here to get checked out. Minnie is my first pet and my first experience with a cat. (I never thought I'd be a cat owner.) Dr. Grain and his staff were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, patient and compassionate with both Minnie and me. I think they sensed I was more nervous than the cat was. They were gentle and sweet with both of us. Prices were affordable, hours are great, and we were in and out in less than 20 minutes. When I called to make an appointment, it was no problem getting her in right away. I feel relieved knowing that I've found a good vet and plan to return for Minnie's future exams and vaccinations. read more

We made an appointment for 2pm with this hack vet. We had a pet Shi Tsu that was dying and we took him there on Saturday. The doctor commented that the dog had surgery before during the exam because he had a staple under the skin and then told us that his jaw was broken doing everything but addressing our problem. He did not address the fact that the dog could not walk or move his neck. Which was diagnosed by the real vet as a neurological issue. He did not even prescribe any medications like potassium or if drip or antibiotics to make the situation better. The dog was cushenoid according to the real doc. He blew us off and said to come back on Monday to run some tests. He did that on purpose because he knew the dog was dying. The dirt bag doctor should have been honest with us that he did not know what he was doing, so that we could go to a real doctor. We ended up doing that anyway and had to put the dog down. Do not take your dog here for anything serious or else this hack will contribute to your animals death like he did for ours. I would give zero stars for incompetence and the casual way our urgent problem was treated if I could. You get what you pay for $35 was cheap and it would have been easier to throw the money out the window. read more

My first time visiting and I can gladly say I LOVE IT!!!! Dr. Grain was amazing with my dog, he has this deep voice but when he talks to my dog was with this high pitch voice which I found adorable, and he had patience with me with all of my questions (first time dog mom). The nurses and receptionist were wonderful, they seem happy to work there which makes me happy to be there.... this will officially be my clinic/vet to go. read more

Very nice, friendly staff. The clinic was clean and the doctor was great! No complaints at all would definitely come back.

This has been my families vet for about 20 years he has taken care for tortoises, dogs and birds this vet is a boss!!!!

One of my doberman's paw had an infected cyst between his toes (fancy name - Interdigital furuncle) I knew I had to deal with this sooner rather than later but hesitated because I'm short on cash and I usually get screwed $$$$$ by VCA in Cerritos where it's difficult getting an appointment and my dogs go crazy interacting with the other pets in the waiting room - always a long wait! Anyway - Evening Pet Clinic was recommended by a coworker. Yelp reviews were good so I called them up and to my surprise - they could see me right away! I rushed over there and after only a couple minutes in the waiting room, the Dr was inspecting my pup's paw. He had it all fixed and cleaned up in a flash. I was out the door with antibiotics for about $85 including. I'm not rich so I am so pleased to have found Dr Grain did NOT try to guilt me into a bunch of unnecessary blood tests, pain killers, spa treatments, flower-on-nail etc. And my 110 lb Dobie really likes Dr Grain, which is surprising even after the uncomfortable medical treatment. Everything about the experience exceeded my expectations - easy and reasonable - as it should be. oh - and friendly receptionists too. Thank you Evening Pet Clinic! read more

I've been a faithful client at Evening Pet Clinic bring multiple generations of pets to see Dr. Grain. I have and will always trust Dr. grain to care for my families pet. Dr. Grain is very personable, kind, patient, and has always been very caring to each pet that I have brought to the clinic. My only concern with Evening Pet Clinic is the receptionist, Olga, that sits at the front desk. She has been with the clinic for a very long time and no matter how many times I come in and greet her with a smile, she is always eels to be grumpy! She is less than personable and doesn't even bother to say "hello" to you...AT ALL! Even when she collected my money she still said nothing. It's all business for this lady! Her attitude and disposition turned a great experience into an "ok" one. It's so funny because my sister had to bring her pet in one day and after she left the clinic, she called me complaining about how unfriendly she was to her too! read more

I worked here for about 2 years , Dr. Grain is super smart ! and service is great , very professional and caring , learned alot while i was there and still continue to take my pets here , prices are very affordable and pets are # 1 read more

Although the staff and "vet" seem friendly, my dog died days after a minor surgery on her ear from the Anasthesia used. I tried telling the "vet" that my dog is a BOXER, I regret taking her there as she would still be alive today. It's been a month since my dog died, after spending $855.00 to correct a relatively minor issue, let's face it an infected ear flap is not thoracic surgery, right ? I will NEVER USE or REFER THEM to anyone. If I could have figured out how to give them no stars, I would have given them that. read more

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this clinic for several reasons. Appointment is not necessary you can just walk in and the wait was only about 15 min. Prices are very affordable. When I took my Chihuahua in consultation was $33. She had something in her eye which I thought it was an eye infection. He said she had a foxtail and took it right out of her eye and prescribed eye drops. Eye drops were about $35 so in total i ended up paying $71, very affordable. He is very good at explaining what your pet has. It looks like he loves his job. I love Dr. Grain. The doctor was so kind and actually cared for my dog. read more

I've had many experiences with a number of vets and I always find that "overcharging" is their specialty. Dr. Grain not only has exceptional knowledge of all pets but he also works with integrity. His prices are reasonable and I never feel like I'm being ripped off. I take my two dogs here multiple times a year for shots and check ups. Dr. Grain always explains to me what the issue is (I have a very finicky/delicate yorkie who always gets himself sick) and what I can expect during recovery. All my friends I've recommended have become loyal customers :) read more

I have been going to DR. GRAINS for several years for all my dogs, i enjoyed him & recommended him to all my family & friends. So sad to see him retire. I made an appt for 10/8/20 with the NEW Vet DR. HARDY, drove 30 minutes, got there 15 minutes early, My dog & I sat in my car until I was called in at 10AM (I'm recovering from surgery) There was another client that went in with a cat, came out in approx. 5 minutes & I waited 35 minutes in Waiting room which I never have done with Dr. Grains, I finally asked the Receptionist did DR. HARDY forget about us? She went to check & informed me he started a surgery while I was waiting & she had informed him Prior to him starting. I was shocked!!! He DID NOT have the decency to call me to cancel, or come into the waiting room & say something. I was in Pain from surgery sititng there .My dog was there for his Allergies. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL & HEARTLESS.. I WAS a client for over 12 years. read more

If you read a review that Dr. Grain is not a good vet it is simply not true. I have been taking my German Shepard and boxer to him for years. He diagnosed my Shepard with Addison's disease 3 years ago when other vets missed it. By the time I got her to Dr. Grain she had almost died. He has taken care and managed her disease beautifully. My boxer has had numerous health issues, and Dr. Grain has taken care of them all. He is absolutely not in it for the money. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has the biggest heart for pets imaginable. His prices are very affordable. If you choose Dr. Grain for you vet, you will never even consider going to another veterinarian again. read more

Dr. G is the best! Affordable, honest, and quality care for your pet!

I came here after seeing the reviews with my 9 week old maltipoo, I've had several visits due to his shots and they're always all pleasant! The staff is very nice and friendly, and care about all the pets that come through their door. During one of my visits, someone came in who found a German Shepard walking around without a tag or leash and they gladly helped by checking to see if he had a chip a no charge to them! I'm glad I found them because Russo is the first puppy in the family under my responsibility and I trust this clinic with him! read more

Brought my guinea pig and cat here on separate occasions gave my cat medicine for his worms didn't work so I bought the 50$ medicine again and it didn't work again, then after that I brought my guinea pig he gave him medicine without even knowing what was wrong with her he just assumed because it was near closing time and the medicine didn't even work. Overpriced for an ignorant vet read more

My brother found a small puppy at the park a few weeks ago & we were unsure if the puppy was ok to keep, so we called Dr Grain to make the next available appointment. They are always booked, so it's important to make an appointment by calling ahead. I had been here previously bringing my cat (who had an upper respiratory infection) & knew Dr Grain would know best for our newest puppy. Dr Grain greeted us with kindness, & told me how old the puppy was, what breed he was, & what steps to take next. This office also has very reasonable prices (I'm a broke college student) & I love how quick they are with everything. Receptionists can come off as rude, but they are prompt & ready to give your next appointment. I will never take my pets anywhere else. read more

I have no complaints what so ever! Dr Grain is great as well as his staff. Prices are good and the care is great!!

Dr. Grain is wonderful with our doberman. Very easy to get an appointment and they treat are dog kindly. We had an issue with billing and they went above and beyond to fix the issue and make sure everything was settled. highly recommended. read more

Our beloved Pit that we had for 12 years was at the end of his time with us. Our family to say the least was devastated. Dr. Grains and his staff was beyond amazing. Kind and understanding, they gave us time to say a proper goodbye before he passed. I can not say enough how appreciative we are to him and his staff. read more
