Normally, she'll sniff her bowl and walk away before deciding to eat later -- but "A Pup Above" completely changed that! The moment I start preparing her "Beef Stew," she waits by my side, tail wagging, and dives right in the second I set the bowl down. It's the first time we've seen her genuinely excited for mealtime. Her coat looks beautiful, her energy is amazing, and we love knowing she's getting real, healthy ingredients. We always shop for Koda's food at our local pet store, Murphy's Paw in Pleasanton, California, where Cora is always there to offer guidance and support. She truly knows her stuff and takes the time to help us find the right products for Koda's needs -- we couldn't ask for a better experience!

They always run on time and are very transparent with their services, prices, and what to expect at your appointment. We recently had a hiccup with their online pharmacy and Jess went above and beyond to help rectify it. Seriously, I was shocked by the level of customer service which you just do not see nowadays! They are the best service around with the sweetest staff and owners. Please consider them and support their important business in our area!

This review is specifically for Dr. Gill. The reason that the review doesn't include the office and…read moreits staff is because I haven't physically been to the office since the mid-90s when my childhood hamster, Friskie passed (rest in peace buddy). My elderly cat, Hannah, was a patient of Aborn for the last couple of years after switching from a different veterinarian's office. With that being said, sometime around July or August, she was slowly eating less and less. My father brought her in for an examination as well as some tests. It was determined that her bilirubin count was elevated and she would be treated for something involving her bile duct, I believe. After roughly a week or so of treatment at home, she wasn't getting better. On September 11th, my family and I took her to an emergency veterinary facility and it was determined that she was very, very sick. The veterinarian didn't believe the medicinal treatments were working and she had become jaundice amongst other things. My family and I then made one of the hardest decisions of our lives and my beautiful best-friend Hannah passed. Amongst all of the sadness, grief, mourning and a multitude of other emotions, came a plethora of questions. It was then that I tried almost every avenue to reach the emergency veterinarian that was there the night Hannah passed. It has now been 107 days and that poor excuse of a human still hasn't had the decency to get back to my family and I. To backtrack a bit, after not being able to get a hold of her after what I believe was a week or so, I reached out to Aborn to speak to Dr. Gill as I felt that he could help answer some of my questions...especially since Hannah was a patient of his. Within a day or two of contacting Aborn, Dr. Gill called me in the afternoon on his drive home from work. After explaining to him who I am as well as what happened since he saw Hannah last, I asked him a ton of questions. He did his best, if not completely answered all of the questions. He did so gently and professionally. In addition, he was also personable; even talking about experiences with his own personal pets. If I remember correctly, he and I were on the phone for over half an hour. Although none of this could bring back my best friend, I immensely appreciate the time that he took to help answer questions, with also helps the grieving process. Dr Gill, thank you for being a professional as well as a good human being. These four stars are for you. Rest in eternal peace Hannah.

I was happy that Aborn Pet Hospital was able to accommodate us as a walk-in at 10:20 a.m., and I…read moreappreciated them fitting us into their schedule. Unfortunately, my first impression quickly changed. As soon as we walked in, my wife asked if she could use the restroom. She was immediately told there were no public restrooms available. I understand businesses have policies, but we weren't members of the public--we were paying customers who had just been accepted for an appointment. It was disappointing that they couldn't extend such a simple courtesy, especially when people are often stressed and spending a significant amount of money on their pets' care. That interaction left such a poor first impression that we decided not to stay for the appointment. Fortunately, we had already scheduled an appointment elsewhere as a backup. Aborn Pet Hospital just happened to be the first clinic that could see us, but after this experience, we left immediately and kept our appointment with the other veterinarian instead. One thing that also stood out to me while reading reviews: why are so many of the prominently displayed positive reviews from years past, while many of the more recent negative reviews seem much harder to find? I don't know how Yelp determines which reviews are shown first, but it made me wonder whether newer experiences are being given the same visibility as older ones. Customer service starts the moment a client walks through the door. In our case, the lack of a simple courtesy was enough for us to take our business elsewhere.
