    A trip to dog friendly Carmel, CA
    Jana S.

    We have been with this hospital for 17 years. We always receive the best care and treatment possible for our dogs. All staff is excellent. Dr. Kestler is particularly kind, knowledgable, and highly skilled.

    Our experiences with this clinic have been anything but positive. In short, they are rude and disrespectful. How unfortunate.

I especially appreciate that I never feel rushed and that they make sure you understand all of the treatment options at your disposal and they offer practical advice. Good and compassionate veterinary care is hard to find and so important when you are faced with routine or unplanned care. I have utilized their emergency services, specialty care, and routine wellness. When I had to make the difficult decision to say goodbye to one of my girls, I did so after feeling confident that we had done everything possible to give her the best quality of life. While the hardest decision I've had to make in a while, their care team patiently and compassionately guided me through it. I cannot say enough good things about this practice and the professionals who work here. Highly recommend and will not take my fur babies anywhere else. Thank

That said, my experience with this facility has lead me to believe that their primary motivation is financial. Every working person's motivation is financial, that's not news. What's different with this facility is their blatant, financially-predatory, means of running their practice. Pacific staff are trained to consciously and purposely use the emotional distraught of pet patients' parents to fleece them financially. I believe that even tho the medical staff know that a case is terminal, they give false hope to the parents in order to authorize expensive treatments. And they go through the motions, knowing full well it is futile. They will skirt the line of full blown lies with 'yes there is a chance they'll fully recover'...but when confronted, they can say "well 5 %, isn't zero so technically, we didn't lie to you. I have had dogs all my life, been to many vets, said goodbye to many fur babies in my 50 plus years. In all my many other experiences at pet hospitals, I've never experienced such blatant greed. It was an emergency, my primary vet chose this place because of the hour and staff availability at that time. I would NOT RECOMMEND this place. They have the bedside manner of rabid jackals-especially the administrative staff. Maybe don't harass a grieving parent over the phone at 2 am demanding payment literally moments after they had to say goodbye to their fur baby. You have multiple credit cards on file, one from me one from my spouse, you have our child's corpse, and yet you're treating us like we're shoplifters who were caught. This is a systemic problem with Pacific and not the sole act of one staff member. This is beyond having terrible bedside manner, it points to question the scruples of Pacific Vet as an establishment supposedly dedicated to the health and well being of animals. Hope nothing happens to your pet that you'd require emergency care. But if you, go to VCA Encina, instead. You won't be made to feel as if you were a criminal and they won't financially r8pe you when you are most vulnerable

I feel entirely comfortable with every vet and technician I meet--it's always clear they have thoroughly reviewed Coltrane's records before even walking into the examination room. During our appointment yesterday, vet tech Ana not only took incredible care of my pup, but she also patiently answered a handful of random questions I'd been saving up for our annual visit in August. Everyone on the staff is incredibly well-trained and knowledgeable. From a user standpoint, the technology is a game-changer. Being able to seamlessly schedule appointments through the app or get quick advice via virtual care--often saving us an unnecessary in-person trip--is a massive benefit. Vet care is a frequent topic of conversation among pet parents, and I always find myself recommending Modern Animal. While veterinary costs are high everywhere these days, the value here is unmatched compared to my previous vet. Having access to multiple locations across the Bay Area (especially crucial if an urgent issue pops up) combined with 24/7 virtual care makes it worth every penny. With their recent merger with Chewy--a company renowned for stellar customer service--I have high hopes that this exceptional level of care and community focus will continue. Highly recommend!

I called to make an appointment and just the difference in the way the call was answered and how I was treated on the phone...well it was just so pleasant and courteous. I made an appointment. Showed up and had the good fortune to meet Dr Lee. Wow what a difference from the last vet. She was professional and caring. She swabbed my cats ears and looked at it under a microscope to see if their was any bacteria, etc. she prescribed some medicine, talked me through the options and how to administer it. I asked her about the tooth that 'needed to be pulled'. She examined it and her conclusion - don't pull it. She touched it and the cat didn't flinch - so it wasn't painful. I am just so pleased with this veterinary practice.

Dr. Kidd and his team went above and beyond to give her that chance--and because of them, she now walks, runs, jumps, and climbs with so much energy, confidence, and joy. They've handled everything with incredible kindness, care, and dedication. We are forever grateful. There is no one we trust more with our fur babies.
