    My baby after his grooming
    Rosemary M.

    The girls there love my big baby Rotti and he loves them too. They take great care of him!

    Strider & Samwise say 5 stars for Dr. Gary!
    Wendy K.

    Our pets like their Palm Bluffs Veterinary Hospital Home! Firstly, I cannot believe the negative reviews I saw posted. Shameful. Dr. Gary Shapazian is an affable and knowledgeable Dr. He has no problems with suggesting referrals. He is a person who truly cares for your animals and wants the best outcome for their health and well being. He and his staff go out of their way to help you and answer your questions. The Vet techs are kind and gentle. My Aussie, my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and my cat all feel at ease in their presence. Animals are a good judge of character. My pets give Dr. Shapazian and all at Palm Bluffs Veterinary Hospital a 5 STAR rating.

    Dr. Gary Shahbazian is the nicest, most caring, experienced, professional vet that i have ever met. He does not rush you or your animal. He genuinely cares. I have been taking my animals to Dr. Gary, for as long as I can remember. He's not cheap but you definitely get what you pay for....Excellent service, clean office, a caring staff, and a fabulous doctor! I wouldn't go anywhere else! HE'S THE BEST!

    I can't say enough good things about River Park Pet Hospital and Dr. Nayyar…read more Our Frenchie Bentley recently went through a really scary situation, and from the very beginning Dr. Nayyar and the whole team were incredible. When things took a turn, they acted fast and even personally took Bentley to the ER without hesitation. That's something we will never forget. A special thank you to Kylie and Joseph you were so kind, patient, and supportive during such a stressful time for us. You didn't just care for Bentley, you really helped us through it too. Because of everything you and your team did Bentley is home with us now, recovering and back to being his happy, goofy self. We are so, so grateful. If you're looking for a vet that truly cares, this is the place. Thank you again for everything

    My recent experience at this clinic was genuinely one of the most disturbing and unsettling…read moreveterinary visits I've ever had. I brought my dog in for what I understood would be a straightforward appointment. She went in calm, normal, and completely herself. When the staff brought her back to me, she was in a state I have not experienced with her before - extremely distressed, trembling, vocalizing, and visibly frightened. This behavior continued long after we left. What made the situation even more upsetting was the level of confusion, inconsistency, and lack of transparency when I tried to understand what had happened during the time she was taken to the back. The explanations I received did not match one another, and the documentation I later requested did not line up with what I had been told in person. I have never left a veterinary clinic with so little clarity and so many unanswered questions. The entire interaction made me feel uneasy and unsure of what actually occurred during her visit. Based on my experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend this clinic to anyone. I would strongly discourage pet owners from leaving their animals out of sight here or even scheduling an appointment in the first place. I would not return.

Our first experience was with Greta in July of 2023. 16.5 year old Greta was giving us the heads up that she was ready to go. Dr. Gary came in and Greta went peacefully across the rainbow bridge. Greta's brother Wesley, made it to 17.5 years. Ands just has his sister. He moved on peacefully with the help of Dr. Gary. Bella. Our big girl. Still jumping in the couch and chasing the rc car all the way up to a couple weeks ago. In just three days. She stopped eating and was giving us those eyes that we have seen to often non the last year. I am sure Wesley was calling her to walk with him along the mystical canal. Bella. Also just short of 17 years. Not the most touchy feely girl. She came and laid down on the bed where Dr. Gary and I were sitting. All three are together now.

    1-29-25: My cat of 15 years passed at home…read more After about 6pm I was crying and still had her body in my arms. I called and they asked if I needed someone to come out and put her down. I said no, she already passed and I still had her body in my arms and was calling about cremation services and how much it would cost. The person on the other line went silent. I kept saying hello, hello for awhile, but realized they disconnected the call. We went to Cedar Veterinary instead and took her and paid for her cremation. Not a good way to handle a call after a person's pet has crossed the rainbow bridge.

During this visit and the phone call made to this Emergency Vet on 12/27 about the ongoing incident we had an extremely positive experience with! The staff and Veterinarian we dealt with on 12/29 were professional, kind, caring and genuine! We are from Lake Havasu so being out of town in a place we aren't familiar with while having to deal with our pups emergency issue brought upon stress and uncertainty. But because of this Emergency Vet clinic and the staff who helped us on 12/29, our nerves were put at ease and we felt a huge sense of relief! Emergency vet clinics are a busy place and people have to understand when they arrive to exercise patience as the Vet has to categorize each pet (patient) from critical to minor medical concerns. So it may take some extra time to be seen. This is common sense which I know is not as abundant in today's world lol So with that being said, I assure you Fresno Vet Specialty and Emergency Center has a professional and caring staff who are capable to attending to your animals needs! Their establishment was clean, presentable and their accommodations were pleasant! We sincerely Thank you for taking care of our Siggy and making us feel at ease!!!

Go to pay thinking at most 40 to 50 bucks for the follow up. $220 plus tax. For what????? To tell me her eye looks better? They said it's because the Dr has to travel. Huh??

Although it was hard to hear but she was honest about what needed to be done. I have been going to Abby pet hospital for 11 + years and take all my fur babies there. My only recommendation would be to give us fur parents a little more time and understanding when going over paperwork right away after making a tough decision. I know and completely understand policies and collection of funds in order to do these things/complete treatment. Just would've liked to have not seen paperwork right away as we were still trying to process the trauma/and heart break. Nevertheless this doesn't take a good review on the ethical part of this establishment. I do wish that before surgery we would've had some more information but unfortunately this did not occur until after and of course it was out of everyone's hands at this point due to the unknown underlying conditions, unfortunately. Love is a beautiful thing, an unexplainable feeling we have for our pets, but know and understand so deeply. Thank you Abby pet hospital doctors and staff for all you do, and for trying just like I did for my best friend. With love and gratitude.

    When our 14-year-old cat, Khloe, suddenly became lethargic and not herself, we were very concerned…read more Our regular veterinarian was unavailable until the next day, and given her age, we didn't feel comfortable waiting. Armstrong Animal Hospital was able to get us in within about three hours, which we truly appreciated. Because Khloe is a senior cat, the doctor recommended being thorough. They performed a full exam, bloodwork, X-rays, and a urinalysis to rule out anything serious. All of her results came back normal, which was incredibly reassuring. Dr. Sunamar Deol took the time to explain the results clearly and walk us through what they meant, rather than just listing numbers. Dr. Deol explained that they would treat the situation conservatively as an upset stomach and nausea, and prescribed exactly what Khloe needed without over-treating. We felt listened to, informed, and supported throughout the visit. Nothing felt rushed or dismissive, and the plan made sense based on her symptoms and test results. One week later, Khloe is completely back to her normal self -- eating and drinking well, sleeping with us again, and showing her full personality. We're very grateful for Dr. Deol's thoughtful care and Armstrong Animal Hospital's ability to step in quickly when we needed help. We would absolutely recommend them, especially for senior pets who need careful, attentive evaluation.
