After…read morebeing turned away for an emergency walk-in from Santa Maria Emergency (no exotic vets available) and Cat & Exotic (their doctor fully booked with surgeries etc.), I came to Bear Valley sobbing with my rabbit seemingly on his deathbed. Dr. Whitelaw was able to see my rabbit and took very good care of him. She knew what to look for, and recommended what my bun's old vet used to recommend for him. Luckily I had medications on hand from previous GI stasis incidents -- this definitely helped to save his life. RABBIT OWNERS: if your rabbit is prone to stasis, make sure you keep Reglan, Simethicone, Lactulose, Metacam all on hand. Of course, ONLY administer if you are 100% sure that your rabbit is in stasis, and take to a vet immediately!!!! Anyway, I'm so grateful to Dr. Whitelaw and everyone at Bear Valley for saving my critical condition bun. Thank you.

I took my 4 year old puppy in here because she had a bad tooth. I had already gone to another…read moreveterinarian because I could never get into this vet, but the veterinarian that I went to to get dental work on my dog was so booked up that they couldn't see her for a month but they did tell me that she had one bad tooth and at her teeth needed cleaning and so I decided to check around and call Bear Valley Animal clinic, because I didn't want her to be in pain any longer than that she had to. The other veterinarian told me that what was wrong is that she had A bad tooth. I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE VETERINARIAN AT BEAR VALLEY. ONE TOOTH WAS BAD AND THAT I WANTED THE OTHER TEETH CLEANED.. believing that she understood what I implicitly said they gave me a form that said if an extraction is necessary, do you want me to call you or just do it? Stupidly, I believed that by checking the box that she would just take out the one tooth.. to my horror when my wife went to pick her up, they told her that they had taken out 18 teeth!!! and that she only had 16 teeth left for the rest of her life. I hope that nobody ever goes through what I went through at this place. It's the worst experience that I have ever had at a veterinarian. I wouldn't trust them to do dental work on a rattlesnake. And for God sake, don't check "extract ' without notification.

We had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to our beloved dog, and they treated her with such dignity, love, and respect. Everyone was patient, caring, and took the time to explain everything to us without making us feel rushed. They comforted us throughout the entire process and made an incredibly painful experience a little easier to bear. I will always be grateful for the empathy, professionalism, and genuine care they showed my dog and our family. Thank you for helping us say goodbye with peace and compassion. I highly recommend this hospital to anyone looking for a veterinary team that truly cares.

Unbelievably great service. From our first phone call, of course on a holiday weekend, to meeting…read morethe front staff, and the talented vet techs. EVERYONE was kind, soothing and eager to help. My 11 year old Chihuahua-terrier mix dislocated her hip, she was crying in pain, we were beside ourselves, unable to help her. My husband called around who was open on a holiday weekend, and we found Atascadero Pet Hospital. They immediately invited us in to their beautiful facility and put my baby under anesthesia and put her hip back in place. We took her home in a hip sling, and she did wonderfully. We only had to give her the pain medicine that they sent us home with the first and second night. Today was our follow up and the hip sling is off and now we all have to do is pray that keeping her contained for a few more weeks with careful handling, her hip will heal and not need further surgery. I just can't express how much gratitude I have to these kind people and how wonderfully they treated us. I especially want a shout out to a young man, I think his name is Juan, young man, very handsome and just so in tuned to everything we needed to hear and how to take care of her once we got her home. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and assured us that we could call anytime of day or night if something happened that wasn't right or if my pet was in pain. I can't tell you how much this meant to us. Monkey is healing. We are so relieved to know that there are experts out there that will help us and be kind to our animals. Of course, the surgeon and the vets were amazing as well, so thank you to them and thank you for the time that they also spent with us explaining our options. And I just want to add, that those inaccurate reviews of this wonderful facility are likely hyperbole. Being a healthcare provider myself, for humans, I know, you can't make everybody happy. And you can't make miracles happen every time. There are many variables to consider when making a recommendation about options for health, and quality of life. It may not be an easy fix, and it may not be the best for the pet. And sometimes that's hard to hear. And, quite frankly, healthcare even if it's for a pet, is quite expensive. It's part of being a pet owner (or human). I was actually quite amazed that my dog had full-on anesthesia and her hip put back in place and a sling placed for such a reasonable amount. It was even less than they had quoted us and, they didn't ask to do a bunch of bloodwork and everything else ahead of time. They just took her to surgery and put her hip back in. Amazing! I stand behind what I said, these people are very mindful and compassionate in the work they do.
