The emergency vet that I took my cat to said that they might have to euthanize my cat so I went to Laguna, which is my regular vet to have it done and the vet asked if she could take a look at the wound and she said with hydrating and antibiotics I don't think we need to. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was very happy the people there are wonderful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . read more

After having had some bad experiences with the vet who took over when my old vet retired, I started bringing my cats to Dr Sue. She and the staff are so great. My first experience was when I had to put my 21 year old cat down. Even tho I had no history with them, they were so caring, respectful, created a room with low lights, blankets and music so helpful in saying goodbye. I knew then they were a caring vet team. When my next cat had to have several visits and then a leg amputated, Dr Sue did such good work, was so kind and caring and cost effective. I have had many many visits with my cat and over and over again Dr Sue has shown expertise, knowledge, caring and a down to earth presence that is refreshing and appreciated. I constantly recommend her and her staff. read more

Laguna Veterinary Hospital - Sammy the tri-pawed kitty - Veterinarians Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've been a client with all my animals for 30 years. With Dr. B for 21 at least. I've loved the treatment of all my animals over the years by them. I've referred many people to them. I'm extremely concerned and upset because they've just dropped off the planet. Closed for at least a month now. My numerous phone messages have gone unanswered. I haven't had a return call to let me know what's going on. I have a dog on meds to keep her alive and have had to resort to other means to obtain them. No one seems to know what happened or where they all went! Now I'm faced with finding another vet for my 2 dogs and 2 cats. Not happy. read more

Brandy, my Shepherd mix, is always very excited for her visits ,like she knows she will feel much better after the wonderful care she gets.

Laguna Veterinary Hospital is the cats meow! I got my pup at 4.5 weeks old (being told she was 12 weeks by the seller) and immediately came in to start her shots and de-worming. When I brought her in, they quickly told me she is still a baby and that we would have to wait. We did all sets of shots here and recently her spaying as well. She has temperamental behavioral issues and I can always count on them to confidently do their work. Last time she was even cuddling with one of the admin! Since I got her so young, her outside behaviors have not been up to par. I have probably called them at least 10 times with random questions and they always have an answer. I would never bring an animal anywhere else, they are so kind and truly have a passion for what they do. If you're looking for a Vet.. This is it! All extremely well priced and offer packages for puppies which also gives a discount for when your ready to have your pup fixed! read more

These professionals work so beautifully, as though choreographed specifically for each pet and their owners. We have been so fortunate to have discovered Laguna Veterinary Hospital as children, when our parents placed our pets in their care. Now, we are in our early seventies, still receiving the most extraordinary service through providing consistent invaluable care. We always feel as though our pet is given exactly what is needed for it's overall health. And as owners; given the appropriated information to make an intelligent decision, without being forced or manipulated in participating in raising healthy, joyful pets! read more

I've been taking my two fur babies here for at least 4 years now. Everything is always smooth and I just had them clean one of my dogs teeth and I was extremely happy with the service. I'll be back soon for the other dogs teeth cleaning as well. read more

My sweet kitty Kaiser has seen a range of vets over his 13 years, and this place outshines them all! I chose LVH based off of other reviews, and they sure do ring true: Dr. Sue is every bit as compassionate, caring, and conscientious as described-- having both my fur baby and I feeling immediately at ease. Her staff is efficient and equally as wonderful, all in an office that is clean and bright. LVH is not only affordable, but in my opinion the level of care received is priceless in value. Dr. Sue is a great and patient listener who talks with you, not at you like some other vets do. It's truly an honor to witness her gentle aptitude at work in what all of us pet owners know is such a meaningful field! I feel very confident in our treatment approach which includes preliminary options as well as fallback plans... Thank you LVH! read more

We have been bringing our three dogs to Laguna Vet for a few years now and we absolutely love them! We tried a number of other vets in the area and always felt like they were trying to up-sell us on things that may not be necessary and we have never felt that at all at Laguna Vet. Laguna Vet has always there for us when we need them and Sue is a very compassionate, honest, and an absolutely wonderful vet, we adore her. Their prices are also a lot less than any other vets in the area or where we moved from before living here. Extremely reasonable prices, so much so that we are often shocked at how low our bills for services are when we check out, that has never happened before at any other vet:) We highly recommend Laguna Vet! read more

Can't say enough good things about Dr. Boynton and her friendly and caring staff! Recently brought my cat in after having been told by another random vet that I might consider putting him down. Dr. Boynton thought NOT!! After giving my cat an exam, she determined that was NOT necessary and prescribed him some medication for his heart condition. The girls at the front desk are so wonderful. I completely trust in Dr. Boynton and the staff at Laguna Vet! :) read more

My family has been taking our numerous animals to laguna vet for over 30 years. However it is disappointing to say that over the last 2 years the quality of care has slowly decreased. We had two German shepherd rescues, and that comes with a fair share of issues and they were being well cared for the two years prior to the pandemic. However, the final straw has come and we will no longer be brining our animals to them. TLDR: We took our dog to Dr. Boynton and she ignored the fact that "the bump on his arm might be an osteosarcoma" (malignant bone cancer) without doing a thorough examination or investigation. A month after we took him to an emergency vet that found cancer in his lungs, liver, and bones. We had to put him down that day. If the Dr. had looked into his condition we could have saved him a month of suffering. It was hard to put our trust into someone that did not give our animal proper care and compassion. Full story: A month ago we had brought our 12 year old German shepherd in to have a bump on his front leg looked at and to see if there was a cause for his persistent whining. He was there for 15 minutes before we were called to pick him up and we were given Gabapentin for his "anxiety" and that was it. Well we took him to an emergency vet a month later on Dec. 26th and they did full body X-rays and found cancer in his liver, lungs, and bones- basically everywhere in his body. We had to put him down that day to end his suffering. If Dr. Boynton had taken the time to think and act compassionately and done a thorough exam when we took our elderly ailing dog to her we could have saved him a month of suffering. Instead she wrote him off with a "the bump on his arm might be an osteosarcoma" (malignant bone cancer) without doing a thorough examination or investigation. It's hard to say after trusting our animals with this Vet for so long, but we need to take our animals to someone who genuinely cares about their wellbeing. It really is a shame, hopefully Dr. Boynton can reduce her stress and work load so she can better care for her patients. read more

I moved here 1.5 years ago. I tried several of the big vet hospitals and found that it didn't work for me or my black lab. I came from a small town in Colorado with a one vet clinic who we trusted and adored. I found it really disorienting in the large Sebastopol practices, seeing a different doctor each visit. I couldn't remember anyones name and my dog who has never been anxious in a vets office was becoming increasingly vet phobic. Let's not even discuss the prices. Geez! I don't think I ever left an appointment for less than $200.00. The big vet clinics were lovely folks, it just wasn't what I was used to. Enter Dr. Sue who I found on Yelp! I was desperate to find a vet I could feel comfortable with. My dog had developed a lump. To be honest, I had a sense it was not just a fatty deposit and I let it go a couple of months because I was terrified to start the process of evaluating it. Denial is a very deep river. We made an appointment after I read the reviews about Dr. Sue. We walked into the office and I somehow knew we'd found our vet. My dog did too, as he walked right in, tail wagging, giving kisses and everyone was just so nice and welcoming. This was before we'd even met Dr. Sue. We went through an aspiration with Dr. Sue thinking it really was just a fatty deposit because of it's structure and placement. Unfortunately, she came back in with the slide and shared the bad news with me, in a kind and gentle way. I can only imagine what that was like for her...first time patient, "I'm sorry your dog has C." I pretty much checked out from that point on, but she took her time and explained what she believed we were dealing with. While we waited for the news I was crying. The staff was so comforting and they gave my dog a brand new-with tags still on-little stuffed lamb to play with and take home, which he did. Considering what had happened at the larger local hospitals, it seemed that he was saying, 'It's okay mom, Dr. Sue is who we are going to use now and she's got this for us!" We made a plan and I called my vet at home. I did a lot of reading too over the next couple of days. I decided that before surgery, I wanted to do x-rays to make sure it had not spread. She respected my request and was very patient with my questions and concerns. She was willing to talk to my vet back home-which we didn't do-but I appreciated her willingness. Thankfully the x-rays were clear and Blue had his surgery. He is doing really, really well and I am praying we are in good shape for awhile. Dr. Sue is open to talking about alternative treatments which was good for us too, as I've done acupuncture and chiropractic for my dogs and horses for years. Oh...and the cost of the surgery? Absolutely reasonable for a major surgery!! I was prepared for sticker shock when I asked for a quote, based on what I'd experienced at the other vet offices just to walk in for a check up! To be honest I would likely have paid anything, but they made an awful situation, something that most of us who love our pets can afford. The care and support we received far exceeded the cost of surgery. Thank you to the Dr. Sue and the staff at Laguna Veterinary Hospital. We will be forever grateful to you. We are so happy we've found our "small town vet!" Love, Sheri and Blue read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Sue. Her care care and compassion for her patients and their human companions is unparalleled. Laguna Veterinary is the furthest bet from my home in Sebastopol but when I was looking for a vet Dr. Boyton was recommended more than any other vet. She and her staff are the best. read more

I have been taking my 2 Labs here for a few years now and the staff and Dr's are always very nice and accommodating. I would recommend Laguna Vet Hospital to anyone in the local area that is searching for a good quality Vet. read more

Laguna Veterinary Hospital - :( - Veterinarians Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I started going here many, many years ago for our rabbits. As the years progressed, we transitioned all of our animals to Laguna (that includes many cats and several dogs). Every time one of the animals is ill, they are always so accommodating and try their best to save them. The vet technicians are always very friendly and helpful and all around great people. Dr. Boyton is hands down the best vet I have been to. She's proven to be knowledgeable in her field, listens to me when I have concerns or questions and it is very apparent that she cares deeply for her patients. Long story short: I trust them with my animals and will hopefully continue to go there for years to come. read more

Their negligence resulted in the loss of a dear pet. They missed an obvious infection, didn't treat it, and then were happy to charge me to anesthetize me pet. I'll never go there again, for anything. read more

Laguna Vet is truly one of the best veterinary's in Sonoma County. Dr. Sue Boynton is absolutely outstanding, I have been going there for years and don't know what I would without Sue and her staff. Sue has always done everything possible to save my animals; If their is a life to save Sue will do it. I wouldn't trust anyone else but Sue because of her big heart and the way she nurtures my furry children. Also,the staff is very friendly and always doing whatever they can to accommodate you and make you feel comfortable as well as making sure to keep your four legged family member comfortable too. I have been going their for about 30yrs and will keep going for another 30yrs. read more

We just moved here and had tried another vet we had found on yelp which didn't work out. Thankfully, we gave Laguna a try and they exceeded all of our expectations. Everyone there is absolutely amazing and the entire process was completely painless. When we called to make the appointment, the receptionist was very friendly and called back to double check we knew where they were located. Best of all, they got us in the very next morning. They called our old vet in Santa Barbara and had our bulldog's charts faxed over before the visit with the vet even began. best of all, Dr. Susan Boynton was wonderful! Very friendly and full of information. Both myself and my dog left with a smile. read more

I brought Leo here on fellow yelpers reviews. So glad I did! This is one of the only vets offices I've ever been to that didn't make me feel like all she wanted was my money. Sue Boynton had great bedside manner and personal people skills. She treated Leo as she would her own dog, which is what I want to have in my vet. We will definitely be back! I will now bring all 4 of my fur babies here. So happy to find a vet I trust! read more

Called this vet hospital to get an estimate for my foster dog to get neutered and have his teeth cleaned, but they wouldn't even give us an estimate without seeing the dog. (And the exam would cost $50, which they were quick to point out.) There are many great animal hospitals and vets out there who don't try to squeeze rescues for money, and that's where we'll be going from now on. This place is just a bit too money grubbing for my taste. read more

Amazing! Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Dr Boynton is an amazing Vet and her staff is great. Dr Boynton has great empathy which is so important. I have found my forever vet!! read more

My husband and I just received one of the most wonderful letters we've ever gotten. It was from the University of California Davis letting us know that Laguna Veterinary Hospital made a financial donation to the Companion Animal Memorial Fund in memory of Max. As painful as this is to have read and now write, if anyone is looking for a new Veterinary please don't hesitate is choosing Dr Sue Boynton at Laguna Veterinary Hospital. She's a truly wonderful and caring vet and a true treasure. This is her office and you won't have to be shuttled to another vet on duty because she's too busy. read more

They were recommended by a neighbor, who has been going there for years. I understand why, as the staff was great and Dr Sue is truly an animal lover. She was thorough and found a mass, that was apparently missed by a Vet we had seen a few weeks before. I would recommend completely! read more
