Fantastic experience with the doctor and staff. Very kind and thorough. Even though we only live in Malibu 5 months a year, the staff is great with communicating with our other vets in other locations. read more

update! He is trying to pretend like he did nothing wrong over the phone and then now he He now has fake Instagram accounts sending me harassing messages ( all have the same name and profile picture) that are claiming to be his patients! Like are you crazy? I'll be documenting all of this don't worry... here's just one of the messages I received! It's probably him lmao DR LUPO KILLED MY DOG! DO NOT GO HERE FOR ANY REASON!!! The only reason he doesn't have a bunch of one star reviews is because they either get them taken down or only will refund the patient if they take down their Yelp review so they usually remove it to get the money back, I don't care about the money... I would recommend finding a different location to take your animal read more

Dr. Lupo was amazing. My Cane Corso was injured in a sudden dog incident, and we were terrified the wound could be life-threatening. He got us in immediately, handled everything with urgency and confidence, and took great care of Jax. You could tell he truly cared, and that meant everything in such a scary moment. So grateful we found him. read more

Let me just preface that Dr. Lupo is absolutely amazing in all regards. My now 16 year old Chlo developed a collapsed trachea, heart murmur and partial blindness near 3 years ago - unbeknownst to me at the time. Due to her conditions she became very tired and appeared to be suffering and almost made an irrational decision to place her to sleep. I was recommended to take her to MVC and so I took her in for a professional opinion and Dr Lupo SAVED her life! Thanks to him, we gained 3 more years since finding out her medical conditions and our 16 year old chihuahua is still here with us to this day with proper medication to combat and/or make her feel at ease! She's now back to her happy, energetic self again. The staff are absolutely a joy to work with, they are truly professional in their craft and it's all due in part to Dr. Lupo's leadership. They all truly care for any animal that walks through their door. Chloe and I really appreciate your honest and attentive care. We are forever grateful for your team! Thank you MVC for all that you do! read more

The best veterinarian anywhere! Dr. Lupo has our trust- he doesn't do anything unnecessary, and understands how important our pets are.

i came in yesterday and Dr Lupo wasn't there but another veterinarian was. He was fantastic, he was so great and helpful!! I'm so thankful this vet clinic is here on the west side for us locals. i have taken all my cats to this vet for many years. i pop in unannounced at times and they answer all my questions and take my cats right away for shots or anything else. i highly recommend them! oh and the front desk is always so nice. read more

Yes, family run. Dr Lupo never runs up the bill with unnecessary tests and charges. He's a lot of experience and expertise. I drive the extra miles to them because I know my girl will get great care. read more

I wanted to write this review for Dr Lupo the owner of Malibu Vet clinic. I have know Dr Lupo ever since the original owner, Kate sold it to him. Dr. Lupo has been our family vet for five dogs and one cat. Recently our dog Hoss Bear , a Rare breed Caucasian Shepard was having major issues around mobility and walking and I thought I'd have to say goodbye to him after 12 1/2 years of friendship and love. Dr Lupo prescribed Librela and it's been a game changer for Hoss. It's been 30 days and Hoss is able to walk around and do his business. Thanks for Dr. Lupo prescribing this miracle drug. we're hoping to get more time with our beloved hoss bear. As an older dog at 12 1/2 hoss bear has a large cyst on the right side of his neck and I know every day is precious. I wanted to write this review because I know for 15+ years. Dr. Lupo has been there for my family. Our dogs were always treated like family. Dr Lupo has always been professional and very thoughtful and that's why he's the only vet that we use. Dr. Lupo over the years also could charge way more money and I honestly believe that he's in it for the passionate of the animals and helping. Besides being a very compassionate veterinarian, he is somebody that truly cares about animals. Thanks, Dr Lupo, and his STAFF ( 5 star also ) for always being there for our family.

Malibu Vet Clinic has been my #1 location for veterinarian services rendered by Dr. Lupo to my doggies Sky and Popcorn. Dr. Lupo has been very compassionate and understanding to the needs of my doggies with recent surgeries, which included fatty mass removal and body cysts and skin pimples. Dr. Lupo is very patient, kind, and understanding to the worries of doggie parents' concerns. I highly recommend Dr. Lupo and his wonderful staff. A beautiful location with the ocean just around the corner with beautiful views of the ocean. Dr. Lupo is all the worth in gold in my travels an hour away from his clinic. read more

Dr. Lupo killed my dog!! I came in with my 11 year old Belgian Shephard on May 20th bec of a possible fungal infection. He did X-rays and came back in and said he isn't concerned with the reason i came in for but said his ACLs are almost torn (yet noted in the summary of our visit "minimal finding") and said he is sending the X-rays to a radiologist to examine which will come back next day or two - because he is unable to give definitive answers based on his ability to read X-rays! I also requested a blood test (completed and sent out to a lab that took 3 days to return). Instead of waiting for blood results and xray analysis to come back, Dr Lupo proceeded to say Huck needed the Librela shot for his ambiguous "pain". He told me "Librela is completely safe. There are absolutely no side effects". Huck didn't need this but I was a fool and agreed to do it bec i trusted Dr Lupo - the biggest regret of my life! May 21st / 24hrs after the shot, my dog got pneumonia, incontinence, anorexia, pancreatitis, neurological issues, severe muscle atrophy on all limbs, $13k later completely paralyzed, unable to eat on his own, lost 20 lbs and then died in my arms June 14th!! It was the hardest, most horrible experience of my life. No dog deserves it! *3 days after the injection on May 23rd I finally got a copy of my office visit. I find out Lupo noted on May 20th (without telling me!!) , prior to the Librela shot, that Huck had an enlarged Spleen. He also noted his chest xray had some opacity AND that Huck may have had spondylosis based on thoracic xray. ALL of which any other veterinarian would indicate he is a high risk for a drug (Librela) which suppresses the body's Nerve Growth Factors (essential for the body to function and survive!). Librela is for dogs diagnosed with Osteoarthritis and no underlying health conditions! I spent 3 weeks in this nightmare! Everyday something happened and everyday Huck got skinnier and skinnier, losing all nerve function and mobility in his body until he couldn't go on any longer. This drug lasts 60-90 days and he couldn't make it past 24 days! My happy sweet Huck died in my arms suffering from a drug he never should have been given! **Update: when i asked for a refund Dr. Lupo said he'd only do it if i signed a waiver saying i won't sue him for malpractice AND take this review down. Dr.LUPO IS A CRIMINAL! read more

Dr. Lupo and his team have always done a great job with our dog. He extracted teeth when necessary, identified issues and ailments, and made recommendations for our senior dog. I appreciate that they've always accommodated urgent issues when they arise. The staff there has always been friendly and we also enjoyed the grooming too. read more

Best ever, veterinary care. Efficient and friendly staff precede skilled vet tech care, all of whom support Dr.Lupo with patience and expertise. Dr. Lupo's personal, friendly and caring communication represent his understanding and skill with his patients. Our animals have enjoyed his care since his day one in 2009. Through fires and floods, power outages and highway closures, Dr. Lupo's entire staff (and family) always give consistent support and care to the fur babies they treat. Blessings and gratitude to you, Dr. Lupo and the Malibu Vet Clinic. read more

This is a review on Malibu Vet Clinic's recent interaction with me when window shopping for a new vet. I was visiting the area and decided to walk in and ask a few questions. The young lady at the front desk went above and beyond when answering my questions. I found the vaccination fess to be competitively reasonable. The office is located in a professional building with plenty of parking. Very laid back nestled corner on PCH. I am so happy to have a veterinary practice who fair on pricing and a slew of happy fur parents. As soon as my new fur baby is ready, we found a new local vet! Their reputation in the community is such that I will make it a point to schedule my next visit with Dr. Lupo has been highly recommended to me by SEVERAL friends who have been with him for years and trust him with their pets. read more

Terrible groomers! Why didn't I read the reviews .... Stay away. They did a job on my dog that was sloppy and unprofessional. The vet may be fine: never used. But why does Dr Lupo whom people love allow these clowns to operate under his roof???? It's an implicit endorsement! read more

We are so impressed!! We arrived at 9am when they opened and had No Appointment! I was Refered by my friend Sharon who assured me that Dr Lupo was worth the drive from the valley to Malibu. She was so right! We were signed in right away and although the doc was not in yet we were told we could wait or come back in an hour. We chose to take our dog Cali to Zuma for a walk along the beach and come back. Once we got back to the clinic Doctor Lupo was in and saw us within 20 minutes. The staff made sure we were comfortable while we waited and once the doctor came in he was so gentle with Cali. She was more than happy to go with him. Overall Cali was well taken care of, we were prescribed antibiotics and looks like our girl will be back to normal in a week. So happy. We will be bringing both of our dogs here from now on! Plus the bill very reasonable. 10 Stars! read more

My dog was attacked on the beach and although he was not bleeding externally, he was yelping in pain so I wanted to take him to the vet to see what was going on internally. We live an hour away (in the valley), but as we were driving home, we passed Malibu Vet Clinic and impulsively I decided to pull over and see if they could check him out. I'm so glad I did! Dr. Lupo was able to see him immediately and get him x-rayed (turns out he had a fractured rib but not so bad it was puncturing any organs). He was very calm and sympathetic, and the actual clinic looks more like a spa than a medical facility -- both of which helped my own anxiety around medical issues a ton. The front office staff was super nice and friendly, and prices are also VERY reasonable. If we lived closer this would be our new regular vet for sure. read more

Got my kitten neutered here a week ago. The staff is so friendly, and my baby has recovered so quickly!! 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Lupo and the vet staff are wonderful. The prices are more than fair and it's always easy to get an appointment.

Is there a person alive who doesn't love Dr. Lupo? He took such wonderful care of our dog, who lived to be 20+. Now, he takes care of my 10 year old cat. My family appreciates and trusts everything him and his staff does. I cannot recommend this business enough. read more

I brought my 11 week old puppy here for shots and to be groomed. I spoke to someone on the phone who said that they could give him the shots a week early and they would be able to do the grooming as well. He's a sheepadoodle and I just wanted the hair around his eyes trimmed and the bottom of his paws, as the hair is totally covering the pads of his paws. The person on the phone even checked with the groomers and other staff to make sure this was something they could do. When I picked my pup up, they told me they didn't not cut any hair and could not do his shots early. But they gave him a bath and blow dried his hair. I didn't bring my dog for a bath, I brought him specifically to trim to areas that are in desperate need. If they could not do the shots and the actual groom they should have told me on the phone and at the least when I dropped him off. The worst part is that he is now bruised as well. Since picking him up from his appointment he's been yelping very loudly when picked up. After examining him I found the spot and it's just above his front left left leg, when touched he yelps incredibly loudly. My boyfriend took his dog to Malibu Coast Animal Hosipital for years and says it's amazing. I will be going here and finding another groomer after this awful experience. read more

VETERINARY SERVICES: 5 stars We've seen Dr. Lupo twice now - once, for a bout of pancreatitis and then for a last-minute concern. Dr. Lupo is straight to the point and knowledgeable. And, when my dog came down with a concerning symptom 15 minutes before they closed on a Friday night, Dr. Lupo saw her right away so that we could at least get labs started over the weekend. It turned out to be an expensive false alarm but I appreciated the flexibility nonetheless! GROOMING: 2 stars, if that. I just brought my dog home from a bath and cut and her trimming is REALLY uneven. Granted, it was a bigger job to trim down my 35 lb. Aussie than most cuts they get during the day. Jose was obviously rushed because it took 4 hours to get my dog back instead of the estimated 3. I wouldn't mind the extra time if I hadn't had to spend a half hour fixing the job once we got home. I had to even out half of her belly, both ears, trim her feet, fix her tail, plus make a few trims along her body. I understand missing a spot or two but this was a mess - especially for $75. This business is close to my house so I really wish the grooming services were as good as the vet! I highly recommend Dr. Lupo. But only use the grooming if you need a quick bath or small haircut. For bigger grooming jobs (like a full-body trim) give them a heads up that extra time is needed. read more

This is my second review... Malibu vet, DR LUPO and staff keeps exceeding my expectations and standards. I have 3 dogs 3 cats and a bird by the way so I know my vets...

Thank you to Dr. Lupo and the kind staff of Malibu Vet Clinic. They saved the life of my tiny Yorkie when she needed medical attention. Probably one of the best vets I have been to in Cali, and that's coming from a Montana farm girl. Super reasonable and fair. Takes time to care for each patient and communicate. There was a line out the door during our visit, some local ladies told us it is the best vet in the area... makes sense! Thank you Malibu Vet Clinic! read more

The very, very best vet from the point of first contact with the receptionist, Emily, to Liz to DR LUPO!!! We came to the West Coast with our pug just days ago and had a true medical emergency with a fully collapsed trachea and consequential suffocation. Dr. Lupo received us with open arms and heart and successfully brought our beloved pug back from the edge of peril to calm. The office got us in immediately at the end of a long day. Dr Lupo is engaged, attentive, KNOWLEDGEABLE and caring. Office is clean charming and welcoming. The charges were very reasonable. Very best vet ever!!! read more

Too busy- Very rude staff and Dr. will not call you back. My 10-year-old dog, love of my life, was drinking an excessive amount of water, no other signs of distress - I left 3 messages for him never called me back- I figured a blood test would determine if it's diabetes....So I made an appt and my dog was extremely weak by then- as soon as we got there, the doctor told me that he died. He said I can see him if I want and then he disappeared. Devastated and broken, all I could do is kiss my dog, pay the bill and crawl back to my car- several days later I left him a message to call me so I can find out anything I should have done or anything I need to know about how he died. Never called me back. Called again; The rude staff told me well he has a "list" and that he tries to call people back. 3 weeks later I called back to see if my dogs ashes are ready to be picked up. no response- I finally sent someone to show up at their office and pick up the ashes. To this day, I never got a call back. Other than being told that my dog "bled to death", never got an explanation..... read more

We were traveling with our dog when she came down with a urinary tract (UT) infection. Dr. Lupo took as as a walk in without an emergency charge and treated our dog on a Saturday. The symptoms of the infection had become so severe that it would have been impossible to have her in a motel, much less the plane coming home. We are so grateful for his help at this strategic time and will forever be fans of Dr. Lupo and the Malibu Vet Clinic. -Dulce Drysdale and Tony Rolfes and Kula Davis, Ca. read more
