    Yams in the exam room
    Yarrow H.

    Yesterday we took our puppy Yams to Modern Animal for the first time since becoming members. Parking was a breeze! They have ample parking spaces for clients in their private lot. The space is modern, clean and stunning. You feel like you're in a fancy modern home not a vet clinic. Staff was so kind and welcoming. They gave Yams a welcome gift that matched his shirt (added bonus). They offered us refreshments and had a nice selection of caffeinated and un-caffeinated beverages. We got ushered to an exam room and got to hang out until the vet tech came in. The room was quiet, sparkling clean, and really cute and modern. Yams felt totally at home there. The vet tech came in and greeted Yams and made him feel special and safe. She listened to our questions and wrote them up to make sure they were all answered. Then the doctor came in. We went with Dr.Wee and we love her. She was gentle, kind, and so knowledgeable. Yams loved her and she made him feel so safe and comfortable even during the exam. This vet clinic is amazing and we are so glad we became members. We know Yams is in great hands here. To hear how Yams felt about Modern Animal, follow Yams on IG @ThatBoyYams

    It's one medical for pets! Great app makes booking appointments super easy. Staff is friendly and have a no fear policy for animals which made my cat very happy. Membership fees include a visit or more depending on the tier. Prices were just the same as any other vet so I definitely recommend modern animal for the excellent facility and modern experience (no pun intended ;) )

    The staff was friendly, appropriately staffed and handled my pet with sensitivity and competency and Samson handled the indignities with dignity. I appreciate being able to be with my pet throughout. Now waiting for lab results.

    I can't say enough great things about Dr. Karen Tacuan and the entire team at Modern Animal. The clinic is clean, modern, and thoughtfully designed to keep pets calm, and the whole experience feels efficient and not rushed. Booking appointments is incredibly easy. Dr. Tancuan truly stands out. She is patient, thorough, and genuinely compassionate. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, priorities what needs to be done versus what can wait, and makes sure you feel comfortable with every decision. Especially with cost, she was mindful, but understand the desire to provide the best care to our family member. I didn't feel pressured-just supported and informed. What impressed me most is how well she connects not just with pet parents, but with my dog. Being able to stay with my pet during the exam makes a huge difference, and she walk you through everything as it's happening. The staff as a whole is consistently friendly and professional. Every visit feels collaborative, and I leave knowing my pet received thoughtful, high-quality care. If you're looking for a vet who combines modern convenience with genuine compassion, Dr. Tancuan and Modern Animal are truly top-tier. Highly recommend. PS they don't do phone calls, but respond fast with using Modern Animal app chat.

We had no idea how many, or if he had eaten any at all. In a panic, we searched for a nearby emergency veterinary clinic and found one that took Goose in right away. They had us contact poison control right away, who helped us determine what kind of moth balls it was, and therefore worked with the vet for treatment. They kept him overnight and into the next day as a precaution. I was a complete mess, dreading the thought of losing him this way. At 12 years old, I know I will face that day eventually, but not like this--due to our own dumb oversight. I'm still sick to my stomach over this crazy situation. We were fortunate to have an exceptionally kind and knowledgeable young veterinarian, Dr. Heeg. It felt like fate brought us to her. Thank you God!!! I'm immensely grateful to the entire staff, not to mention our gratitude to Dr. Walters, who took care of him overnight. This clinic has secured my loyalty for life! Thank you so much, Dr. Heeg! . We are officially adopting you and the clinic!

It was peaceful in the end and my wife and I are relieved that Mighty is no longer in pain and gets to have a nice restful sleep. We've brought Mighty to VCA before and we highly recommend them. Out of all the ERs we've tried, VCA has has the best care for Mighty and they truly know how to handle cats. Thank you VCA staff for all that you've done for our beautiful best boy

My feline companions also expressed discontent with the previous location. In contrast, my experience at the Walnut Creek location has been vastly different. My cats have developed a positive rapport with the staff here. Even my Kimber, who generally dislikes veterinary visits, is able to tolerate the staff. This is consistent with her personality, as she is affectionate at home and enjoys interacting with everyone, but experiences anxiety when placed in a crate and taken for a car ride, both of which she dislikes. My sweet girl fell ill and was diagnosed with kidney disease. The staff was exceptional throughout the entire experience and process of the passing of my beloved Joy. They demonstrated remarkable compassion and thoroughly explained each step. I cannot imagine navigating this difficult time without the staff's support.

    Let me tell you about loyalty…read more Fourteen years. That's how long my dog Bella trusted Banfield. That's how long I trusted Banfield. And y'all fumbled her in the end. Everything was "fine" when she was young. Easy cases, routine visits, collect the check, keep it moving. But the moment Bella got old--when she actually needed real care, that's when the cracks showed. No, not cracks... the whole system collapsed. You suspected cancer of the tongue. You pushed a $300 test. I said yes because this is my dog, my family. Meanwhile, a specialist tells me that test can't even give real answers. But guess what? My money was already gone. Then you come back with, "Good news, no cancer!" Oh really? Because when I bring her back, after she sits in a crate ALL DAY, you hit me with: "Oh...the test is inconclusive." So what exactly was the good news? Because from where I'm standing, that was confusion wrapped in a bill. Fast forward. Bella is struggling. Constipated, uncomfortable, clearly declining. I call for help. And what do you recommend? Psilocybin. Yes. That psilocybin. Like I'm supposed to go pick up psychedelic mushrooms for my dying dog. I checked Target. CVS. Nothing. I call back, you double down. I go to a pharmacist, they look at me like I've lost my mind. Turns out you meant something like Metamucil. So now I'm grieving and fact-checking my vet? And let's talk about access, because every time I called, I'm sitting on hold for 20 minutes like I'm trying to win concert tickets. This is a veterinary office. Not a radio station. Now we get to the day. Bella's last day. I bring her in for a follow-up, and the front desk is asking me about dermatitis. Dermatitis? My dog is declining, and y'all are reading from the wrong script. Disorganized. Rude. Confused. No awareness of the moment. Then comes the hardest decision I've ever had to make. The vet recommends euthanasia. I say yes. And a few hours later, my 8-year-old daughter and I are saying goodbye to someone we loved for 14 years. We paid for keepsakes--her fur in vials. Something small to hold onto. They ask if we want to wait. We can't. We're shattered. We choose to have it mailed. Weeks go by. Nothing. So now, in the middle of grief, I have to chase you down. You say, "Oh, it's ready--but we can't mail it because it's breakable." So the option you gave me... was never actually an option? I go in--reluctantly--because the whole point was not having to come back. And what do I walk into? More confusion. They can't find the fur. They're looking for the card. The card isn't even in an envelope. Nothing is prepared. Nothing is handled with care. Nothing is handled with dignity. Nothing is handled like this was someone's family member. Let me tell you the difference. I canceled an appointment with Bella's ophthalmologist--a doctor who barely knew her--and told them she passed. Within a week, they sent a condolence card. They donated to University of California, Davis in her name. That's what compassion looks like. That's what professionalism looks like. Banfield? You had 14 years with Bella. And when it mattered most--you showed me exactly what that loyalty meant to you. Nothing. Banfield stinks.

I was scared to hand her over because I didn't trust that I'd actually get her ashes back (I fear some places lump all pet ashes together). I called all over the bay area and no one gave me enough confidence until I spoke to Dr. Ramos from P.E.R. She actually spent a lot of time hearing me out, then making calls to ensure all of my fears were just that- fears. I was treated with respect and kindness. When I brought my baby to the center I was given space and time with her to grieve before she was taken. This was much harder than expected so their set up and process was appreciated. The team was very communicative and helpful. When her ashes were returned to me a couple of weeks later, I was extremely touched that they felt moved by my baby's story and had kindly added little treasures that I will always cherish. I never expected to lose my beloved pet and I don't wish this on anyone, but having this team help get me through it was a gift.
