Being new to Morgan Hill we had only been seen one time previously for checkups for out two dogs. Very pleased with our experience when it was more urgent than a checkup. It's such a relief to have a veterinarian you can rely on!

I've been mulling over the death of my beautiful black lab for 6 years now. I had brought him into…read morethis vet clinic for a back X-ray because he seemed to be limping and in pain. The doctor who did the X-ray (I don't recall her name, sadly), showed me that my lab, who was 9, had a spleen tumor. She said he maybe had 6 months to live. I was devastated. I asked if there was any way he could have surgery. She said no and recommended some Chinese herbs to help prevent bleeding (in case the tumor burst, as if that could save him somehow). I was so stupid to trust what she said. I still cry over my big lab's death. I didn't think to go get a second opinion, and I should have, considering some other instances at this vet clinic where I believe my pets were wrongly treated (and no one would ever admit their fault). One time a tech gave my same lab an allergy shot in his neck that basically paralyzed him for a couple of days. He fell off his bed and I had to take him to an emergency clinic, where they tended to him. I found out, over the ensuing months and years after his death, that it is possible to have surgery. Golden Gate Lab Rescue (we foster for them) told us many of their old labs had successful surgeries to either remove the tumor or the entire speen! I was stunned to learn about this, and have since heard of many success stories. I am certain that if I had gone to another vet, a competent one, I could have had surgery done instead of watching my poor boy go through seizures, pain, and finally paralysis and death months after that diagnosis. I noticed too that the vet never brought in any other vet at this clinic to consult and discuss. She just said, sorry, your dog is going to die and there's nothing you can do. I am still grieving my lab, who was the love of my heart. He should still be alive today. Now, with the old lab I rescued, I do ultrasound screenings annually (Golden Gate Lab Rescue does this) to detect early any sign of a speen tumor, which is common in some large breeds. I don't know if this vet practice is any better, but 1) no one ever apologized to me and 2) they told me that since I had voiced concern over that neck shot, they refused to have me as a client any longer. I actually got a "dear John" letter from them, instead of their apologizing to me for the incompetent treatment that caused my dog pain.

Dr. Harika has been an amazing vet to Dooso. I have also met with the other veterinarian on staff,…read moreand he has always been incredibly kind and helpful as well. Dr. Harika treated Dooso from the time he was about three months old. I eventually stopped coming only because I moved to Santa Clara. Around that time, Dooso developed SEVERE allergies that seemed almost like an autoimmune disorder. Another vet recommended that I take him to a dermatologist, so for the past six years, that is exactly what I did. And when I say dermatologist prices, I mean dermatologist prices. One exam was around $350 before medications or testing. We paid for allergy panels, immunotherapy drops, antibiotics, steroids, Cytopoint, Apoquel, Atopica, which is VERY expensive and constant skin testing. I was spending close to $1,000 a month, and Dooso would still have major breakouts every few months that required another round of appointments, steroids, and antibiotics. After years of this, I was exhausted and could no longer justify the cost when he still was not getting lasting relief. I decided to make the drive back to Morgan Hill to see Dr. Harika because he has always been honest and upfront with me. I was completely honest and told him, "I'm exhausted. I'm paying around $1,000 a month, and this is CRAZY." Dr. Harika and the other vet gave me their honest recommendations. They removed all the unnecessary medications and started Dooso on two basic medications. And what do you know? Dooso is now itch-free, his hair has grown back, and he only needs to visit about every six months for bloodwork and checkups. After six years of paying specialist prices, two basic medications finally gave him relief. We recently had another big scare when Dooso developed a large lump on his face. Of course, I immediately assumed the worst. Dr. Harika started him on antibiotics, followed up with several rechecks, and thankfully Dooso is now healthy and has even gained five pounds A huge shoutout to the vet tech who always gives Dooso treats because he absolutely loves her. Also, shoutout to the girls at the front desk who are always patient with me while I bring in my three-year-old and my very loud 18-month-old. I truly appreciate everyone at Morgan Hill Animal Hospital. I will gladly drive 30 minutes to bring Dooso somewhere that genuinely cares about finding comfort and solutions for pets instead of just trying to charge people for unnecessary treatments.

We are beyond grateful to Dr. Harika, Jaime, and the entire team at Morgan Hill Animal Hospital for…read morehelping save our kitten, Lilly. What was supposed to be a routine spay surgery at another clinic turned into an incredibly frightening and traumatic situation for our family. Lilly ended up needing emergency corrective surgery to fix serious complications, and we truly believe she may not have survived if it were not for Dr. Harika and the Morgan Hill Animal Hospital team. From the moment we arrived, they treated the situation with urgency, compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. They took the time to explain everything clearly, reassured us during an extremely emotional time, and most importantly gave Lilly the medical attention she desperately needed. We were especially grateful that they involved their feline specialist in Lilly's case to help put together the best medical team and surgical plan for her. Knowing multiple experienced veterinarians were working together to save our tiny kitten gave us so much comfort during such a terrifying time. Watching your tiny kitten go through something so serious is heartbreaking, but this team made us feel supported every step of the way. They didn't just care for Lilly during surgery--they continued to care for her long after. They followed up with us multiple times to make sure she was recovering well, answered every question I had over the phone, and welcomed us back anytime I had concerns or wanted her checked. They never made me feel like I was bothering them. It truly felt like we were family, not just another client. Thanks to their incredible skill and compassionate care, Lilly is now healing beautifully, recovering well, and back to being the playful little kitten she was before. Thank you for treating Lilly like your own and for being there for our family during one of the scariest experiences we've ever gone through as pet owners. We will never forget what you did for her and will always be grateful for giving our sweet Lilly a second chance.

They have made the process easy so far, which is helpful. This can be a complicated process. I see them to be more affordable and available than other clinics in the area. This is not a diss toward any other clinic. Financially, good veterinary care at an affordable price is always welcomed! My needs are specific does this visit and these guys are there! I have posted some of the awards I saw on their walls in the feline area and am impressed with how clean and comforting it is to come in. This was my first visit here with one of my fur babies and I'm happy! Thank you so much for a stellar visit! The veterinarian and assistant are very knowledgeable of this process. Thankfully. It's very important when you are sending a pet overseas to any country to get educated on that countries protocol and what and who you need to partner with (at least a year before) so you can set up a timeline for your pet to be ready to go. So far so good. This is a partnership with the providers that is important to follow clearly and directl

Our Staffy tends to get a bit anxious during vet visits, but everyone in the office is gentle, reassuring, and clearly experienced in handling nervous pets. It makes a big difference knowing our dog is in such capable and compassionate hands. I would definitely recommend Live Oak to anyone looking for high-quality veterinary care. They're the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Princevale Animal Hospital…read more They have been so kind and helpful through some difficult times. I love how they take time to explain everything.. they do not pressure you or make you feel guilty (which I have had from other places) or bad about any decision you make in pet care. They are constantly reassuring and offering multiple options of care individualized to each pet. Everyone is always understanding and helpful ... from the front desk to the Vet. I'm supper over the top not wanting my fur babies out of my sight when they are having things done and they are always accommodating when possible to help not only my nervousness but also nervousness of the pet. The outpouring of kindness and compassion when my elderly cat declined quickly was just more than I could ask for. They way they explained in detail what was wrong providing copies of test results and X-rays without my having to beg. I'm so glad I found this place in an act of desperation... now I bring all my fur babies here! I also love they have an app to help you manage prescriptions, appointments, etc. so convenient. If you are trying to find a great vet for the beloved pet in your life ... I cannot recommend this place enough!

All of the staff I've encountered show a genuine high level of compassion which is key when your pet's health is compromised. Huge thanks to Dr. Fisher who is literally a lifesaver.

I have two giant British Shorthair cats and 1 tiny feral kitty, Friday. I've received excellent care for all 3 and I've been using Princevalle for about 6 years so I can recommend them based on MANY favorable outcomes. Give them a call if your beloved pet is in need of a competent and reasonably priced Vet.

Most importantly, I absolutely love my adopted pup! She has already brought so much joy into my life. Thank you to everyone at Santa Clara Animal Shelter for helping us find each other. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to adopt a pet.

A few things to note: - The dogs do play rough / have really bathroom manners after adoption, thus you have to do a bit of training to coax it out.

Australian Shepards / Border Collies (we are getting an embark test but she looks like both), are suppose to be neutered 2 years in because they'll develop weak joints, but she was neutered at what they say is 4months, we believe she is a lot older than 4months when we got her tho.

The doctors and staff have always been honest, compassionate, and professional. What I appreciate most is that they never try to upsell unnecessary treatments or services like some other veterinary clinics. They take the time to explain everything and genuinely care about the health and well-being of our pets. Another big plus is the convenience--it's only about a mile from our house. Whether you live in Gilroy, Morgan Hill, or the surrounding area, I highly recommend this veterinary hospital. If you're looking for a trustworthy, honest veterinarian who truly puts your pet first, this is the place to go. Our family has trusted them for more than a decade, and we wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.

Once you make that decision, you want someone who not only loves their own pets, but will give your pet the respect and love they deserve to go on their journey. Dr. Smith and her husband are amazing. I highly recommend them to help you in this situation that no one wants to deal with. She was so kind and loving to my dog and tried to even console me (a 57 year old grown man)... which I am sure wasn't easy!! Our pets are a huge part of our lives. They give us so much unconditional love, that even on the darkest days (like today) they teach us about the importance of time and appreciation.
