We love all the staff at Fortuna and Ferndale Vet. They are amazing, loving and super sweet. I have 3 kitties and 1 pup so we visit them frequently. We have never had a bad experience with them and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good vet. Plus, they can get you in if you have an emergency, they really care. Well worth any extra cost they may be. Also, Janna the vet tech is one of the BEST and puts on a great canine class as well. I would recommend her to anyone. If you love your pet, take your baby to Fortuna or Ferndale vet! read more

Took my cat here for an emergency appointment, they did an ultrasound, said his bladder was "enlarged" sent him home with nothing...costs $375. Today he is peeing only blood! If my cat dies its due to the INCOMPETENCE OF YOUR ESTABLISHMENT!!! read more

I got my kitten spayed here. $100 for microchip + spay is amazing. Easy drop off and pick up situation. Sunny brea vet quoted us $600 for this same procedure, we said hell no read more

They sent a dog with a gum absess and high liver enzymes home with carprofen (for pain and is hard on liver) and NO ANTIBIOTIC. Drove 40 min to another vet for a second opinion and they immediately prescribed antibiotic which took the gum swelling way down and dog then hadn't need for pain med with swelling reduced, especially a pain med that could potentially damage their liver. The second veterinarian did surgery for half of the estimate of Fortuna/Ferndale vets. They totally misdiagnosed in notes a lump that was known to be a mass cell tumor they noted as " fatty lump, no signs of mass cell tumor" which was absurd because dog had been diagnosed at a prior veterinarian and i knew a lot about mass cell tumors having dealt with them for 7 years; MCT grow and shrink and get red and can even degranulate non of which fatty lumps do. Nor do fatty lumps respond to the topicals and over the counter medications that MCT do. MAJOR ERROR in notes and likely in knowledge/attitude of veterinarian. They also misprescribed wrong dosage of medication. Said clearly in notes changing dosage then did not do so nor did they catch there error. They acknowledge no errors, take zero responsibility and treat clients who have concerns or questions as if how dare we need clarification. Poor note keeping in records and poor communication in general. They make simple processes and questions complicated. They know they are the only option within 30 min so they do as they please no matter the affects on pets and their people. Stay away if you can. read more

They are always very responsive to text messages for my cat's medication refills. Very pleasant on the phone and in person as well.

We have been taking our pugs to Dr. Kris Flores for years, and he takes absolutely wonderful care of them. He has treated Lulu, Tilly, Coco, Mayzee, Gracie and Milo. He is the most caring and gentle Vet we've ever had and we feel very fortunate to have him taking care of our four legged babies. We can't say enough about Kris, he's the best! read more

I love this vet's office! I switched to this office after I got my last cat who was medically complex. Fortuna Vet always got us in the same day I called for urgent appointments & treated us so well. They were exceptionally compassionate & kind when it was time to put my baby to sleep. I'm moving to Arcata soon & I'm really sad that I'll have to find a new vet because my current cat can't handle the stress of that long of a car ride. I would highly recommend both Fortuna Vet & their other office in Ferndale! read more

If anyone ever needs the best vet services in Humboldt County, Fortuna Vet must be your choice, and here's why; Best in professional veterinary care, Best in compassionate care, Best in follow up care, Best in price, in fact, by my experience, cheaper for basic services and prescriptions than any other Vet in Northern California. These folks always got me and my girl into Appointments fast! They never pushed procedures or medications on us. They had amazing compassion and patience when dealing with our unique end of life care. They saved my girl, DeeGee, from pain with a dignified passing. They took great care with returning her ashes in a beautiful cherrywood box, and an engraved garden stone. They have always worked with my budget thru out DeeGee's life. I am eternally grateful to Fortuna Vet for helping get thru this difficult time. Troy Hunter, Whitethorn, CA read more

My dog was dying and I knew it was time. I called at 8:30 am to make a euthanasia appt and they said that my dog was not on my account. I explained that this dog had been adopted four years ago and unfortunately mentioned from whom the dog was adopted. This became an issue. The dog apparently was not mine since he was on his deceased former owner's account. The office manager needed to become involved. After needless aggravation, they booked an appointment for later that day. In the meantime, my little guy died at home. In tears, I called the vet and gave them my credit card # to get a private cremation as well as the name of my friend who would be bringing him. She took him to the vet and they had no record of my previous call and hassled her unnecessarily. She told them to call me and left. This whole day has been a nightmare and unfortunately it's not the first time I've gotten this kind of treatment From this veterinary practice. The owners have bought out all of the other vets in the Eel River Valley. They're the only game in town so they don't care. They're nasty, rude, and incompetent. read more

We have used this clinic for over 30 years. When Gary Hunter DVM. owned it we always received 1st class care for our beloved. When he sold it and moved to flyfishermans heaven we were worried about who would take it over. Worry no more. Dr Flores and his wife have made this into a wonderful facility incorporating the Ferndale clinic with it. They are not only top notch vets but so loving and caring. You can just feel the love here. Reasonable prices and doesn't try to sell you something you don't need. In that same tradition as Dr. Hunter. We are so happy you chose Fortuna. read more

I brought my cat in earlier this month, and I was impressed by the attention to detail in regards to covid safety. Although I wasn't able to be in the office with my cat, I really appreciated the over the phone communication I had with the vet and I felt very confident my cat was in good hands. Being a college student, money is tight and thankfully I did not feel like the vet was trying to sell anything to me like other experiences i have had at vets. Thank you Fortuna Veterinary for the wonderful service and taking great care of my cat read more

I have had nothing but frustration, aggravation, and heart ache from these people. Incompetent staff not capable of making apts. After 2 weeks wait to show up for apt. to be told I don't have one. Takes 3 days to get Rx filled FOR INSULIN! Generally, first impression was favorable but once in system was a "lost client" or ghost of one at best. After trying for a few months had to change vets just to be able to be confident my senior cat, who is also diabetic, would be able to access services vital to her life! WOULD NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR BELOVED PET!!!!! DO NOT USE THIS VET!!! TERRIBLE. read more

I live in Arcata and choose to drive to Fortuna because these guys are that good. Great care, friendly staff and fair prices.

Had a great experience. Took care of my kitty and made sure she was sent home with the right stuff. Also, came here during the Covid lock down so the process was curbside pick up. read more

The extremely professional caregivers at Fortuna and Ferndale Veterinary Clinic have provided wonderful care and compassion towards our pets and the people who bring them in . read more

Love this office, the drs are always very nice and knowledgeable. The office staff are very friendly too. They are usually to get your pet in pretty quickly too. read more

I love Ferndale and Fortuna Veterinary Clinics. I have 3 dogs and 4 cats so believe me when I say I have a lot of contact with this veterinary practice. Dr Flores is so kind and always willing to do all he can to get my animals well and thriving. I remember one appointment I brought in all 3 dogs for annual exams. Dr Flores actually had fun with all three dogs crawling all over him. Dr. Renner has taken care of all my animals at least once and is so helpful and willing to go the extra mile. Dr Schroer has operated on 3 of my pets. She is a great surgeon and I trust her with the hard surgeries. The staff is amazing always helpful and obviously caring. I highly recommend bringing your pets to them. read more

I could not be happier with my experience here! They are so kind to me and my pets. They always do follow up calls making sure everything is good the next day. They're often busy, but I leave a voicemail and they get back to me very quickly. read more

After my first experience in July of last year, I'm happy to say that my recent experience was a vast improvement. A couple weeks ago, my fiance's dog got out of the yard and ran out in front of a car. The young lady who knocked frantically on my door said she hit him pretty hard; he wasn't bleeding, and he walked for a little bit, but then he laid down and refused to move. I was concerned he might have internal injuries, and didn't want to take the 30 minutes to drive to Eureka, so I took a chance and called Fortuna Vet. I told them we weren't current clients, and they let me know there would be an emergency fee ($150 just to see the vet), but that we could bring him in. When we got there, two ladies came out with a stretcher to carry him in (he's not a small dog!). They saw him immediately, and the vet came to talk to me shortly after. He ended up staying overnight for observation, and during that time the vet was in regular contact with us to keep us updated. She was obviously very interested in making certain he was well, and well cared for. She also helped us make decisions that would give him the care he needed, but hopefully avoid surgery. My one complaint would be that they used (as the vet stated) their 'old' ultrasound equipment, because the better one was at the Ferndale facility. She mentioned that they could bring it in, but I don't think they ever did. Instead, they took a number of x-rays and did regular blood tests to check for internal bleeding and to determine where the bleeding might be coming from. Would it have made a difference? I don't know, but I would LIKE to know... In the end, the dog is ok, and I do feel they gave good service. It was expensive (just over $1300), but I'm not sure it would have been any less expensive elsewhere. read more

Very sweet! Beautiful entry way, so let your dog pee before you come over lol Love that they're open to having drop-ins for treats to help my dog get rid of her fear of the vet. Her fear came from the doctor that got shut down in Myrtletown btw, not them! Looking forward to more visits. Very pleasant first experience! read more

In the era of COVID-19 and necessary safeguards, Fortuna Veterinary Clinic is the epitome of professionalism. I knew that I would not be able to exit my vehicle upon my most recent visit, so I called their office line phone number to let them know I was in the parking lot. A vet tech came out to my car, and took my dog inside with a sterile leash she brought from inside the facility, instead of using mine, to minimize contact. My dog was then checked in for her annual exam. A tech called me shortly after to see if I had any questions or concerns. Shortly after the exam, the veterinarian called me to give me a brief synopsis of my dog's overall health, and even offered advice on how to keep my dog at her current weight. She also informed me of a vaccination my dog never received a booster for, and asked if she could administer it during the visit. Shortly after, another technician called to take my credit card number over the phone to pay for the exam and vaccine. Their practices for minimal contact and exposure were flawlessly executed and it was nice to be able to experience a "drive through" type of experience. It was a way to follow through with a normal activity in a way that didn't expose me to others. I should also mention that I scheduled the initial appointment by using their Pet Desk app, which was another way in which they have made my experiences both convenient and simple. I am very appreciative of my veterinarian and the thoughtful care my dog receives from all staff. read more

Great service from the vet techs. Very professional & friendly. I have been a customer of their Ferndale location for several years & was happy to see they had one just across the way from my house. My animals always leave happy & so do I. Unfortunately, they don't accept Amex. read more

My dog would have died if left to the ineptitude of Dr. Flores, he sent him home with no antibiotics and misdiagnosed a major prostate infection, we decided since our dog appeared to be dying to take him to pet care in Santa Rosa. After 7k worth of surgery and antibiotics and a week in icu he barely survived but did thanks to Dr. Kruegers excellent handling of the situation. In my experience, come here for shots, avoid the place if your dog seems sick. read more

All of the doctors and staff at Fortuna Veterinary Clinic are top-notch, caring professionals. I appreciate the precautions they are taking during this time of COVID 19--I feel entirely safe with the safety procedures they have put in place. Thank you Fortuna Vet! read more

Thank you for helping our Dudley, aka pup-cake, cross over this AM. No longer confused, or in pain.... Now He can chase his favorite soccer ball again!!! Always in our Hearts. Thanks to your clinic and staff for all the kindnesses to him and our family! Rich and Bev Gibson read more

Fortuna Veterinary Clinic - Mom and Dudley... - Veterinarians Near Me - Fortuna, California

I give this service 2 stars instead of none because I actually like Dr Renner. However The front desk is terrible,and the old lady running the show has been rude to me for the last time. I've taken all my small pets to Both offices for 11 years now. This women has been short and unkind with her words and attitude ,too many times for me to even begin to go in details about.I'm not sure why,but I get a feeling from the desk girls,that because I'm not a local,nor do I look like one,I'm not welcomed. I'm just sad it took me this long to break up with this office and find a great Place that appreciates my business ..And PS some ones making fake accounts to boost their ratings.. Look closely folks :) read more

I recently moved to the more southern part of Humboldt & needed to find a new vet. I was told about here through word of mouth & was not disappointed when I went. The front desk made the move easy by calling my previous vet & having the records faxed over. They treated my pets with compassion & care & they were knowledgable about my concerns. They even caught that I had requested a test that was previously done & since it was unnecessary they didn't charge me even though they had already done it. I saw both Dr. Renner & Dr. Flores & I would recommend either. They make something that could be a stressful experience very easy & they really care about the animals. Happy to find a new vet we are so comfortable at. read more

Love, love, love!!! So grateful to be taking my two Chihuahua mixes to Fortuna Vet. My dogs like it there. I can count on expert veterinary care, plus advice that I can carry out at home. I always see results. Prescriptions are correct. They can do the impossible nail trim on one of my dogs. Without drugs!! Plus, they use Care Credit which helps me with extended time, without interest, to take care of the bill. read more

While the service was good, we were constantly being updated and the staff was very attentive, I believe that if the vet would have treated my cat with more urgency and administered fluids, maybe my 3 year old cat would have lived. Even after seeing that his blood proteins were low due to blood loss, he still took a wait and see approach and was ready to send him home. If you have a real emergency, take your pet to Sunny Brae Animal Hospital. read more

I have been taking all my animals from my Pet Shoppe in Fortuna to this veterinary clinic for years. They have been consistently courteous, compassionate and professional. We are very fortunate to have their services available in this area. I recently took my dog in, who had hurt her hip and was in pain. They called me beck the same day I made an appointment to inform me of a cancellation, allowing me to get her in sooner. Dr Renner is a kind, understanding doctor, that addressed all my concerns and treated Sadie with utmost TLC. I highly recommend and trust this facility. The staff is knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They will do anything they can to accommodate their clients. I couldn't ask for more. They will treat any pet from lizards, birds and small animals. I have been to their offices in Eureka, Ferndale and Fortuna and received the same great treatment. Trust them! read more

Love this vet everyone is so nice And caring here ! They get me in asap whenever I need ! If you're looking for a vet to go to come here !

Very professional and knowledgable staff. Took my puppy for an exam and shots. The vet spend a great amount of time answering questions and providing suggestions about raising a puppy. The technician was very friendly as was/is the front office staff. So far I am very satisfied with the services of this practice. I can honestly say I recommend Fortuna Veterinary. read more

I have taken my dogs and cats to Ferndale and Fortuna Veterinary for the last three years. I was scared at first, due to bad experiences at other vet clinics, but we had moved to Fortuna and making the commute back to our old vet was just not feasible, especially in emergency situations. When I moved to Humboldt a decade ago, every one said Sunny Brae was the only place to go (and they still do). I agree that it was very good, but my personal experience with Ferndale and Fortuna Vet has been far superior to the care we received at Sunny Brae. Dr. Flores and Dr. Johns have been not only knowledgeable, but also kind and thoughtful. They have seen us through some very stressful, and unusual, emergencies and urgent situations. They take time with the animals and never seem to be rushed. I cannot recommend these two vets enough. As well, their office staff and vet techs are always friendly and helpful. Special shout out to the Ferndale vet techs who have worked through the howling of our hound. Chetco sends his love. read more

After giving great care to my previous dog, when I got a new puppy I brought her to this vet for her checkup and vaccinations. When it was time to bring her in to be fixed I called ahead to get an estimate for a female dog spay. Their estimate was over $400.I felt that his was high so I called around to other vets and decided to have her fixed at a comparable vet in the area for a reasonable $180. (the spay was impeccable) Shortly after Fortuna veterinary found out I changed my care to another vet I received a billing letter from the HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHERRIFFS OFFICE regarding licensing. It had the exact date of her rabies shot given by Fortuna Veterinary. Not that I am against licensing my dog, it is the law, but I felt it was to much of a coincidence that my 6 month old puppy was reported to the county. ( I have never had any incidences with her). I just wanted people to Be aware of this, as I assume you are searching for fairly priced care for your animal and don't expect to be reported to the county. read more

Fortuna Veterinary Clinic may have good veterinarians but I wouldn't know because I haven't gotten beyond the front desk. I stopped in yesterday and was given a form to take home to fill out. When I returned today, one receptionist just picked up the telephone, and was talking to a client. I knew it was a client because she was asking questions such as "has the dog vomited, diarrhea, etc. The other receptionist was talking to a girl at the counter (client side) They were discussing lunch and hair. I guess the girl either got hair extensions or color. Whatever it was it was more important to the receptionist than asking if she could help me. I stood there about four to five minutes without acknowledging that I was even there. So I told them I'd be back when they weren't so busy. That didn't concern the receptionist at all. Needless to say I won't be using this clinic unless it is an emergency and my new vet is not available. read more
