Dr Jameson and her entire staff are fantastic!!! There are just not enough stars to give. This summer I rescued two pups (one 2 years old and the other is 3 months) and brought them both in for another visit today. One needed a nail trim and the other's first wellness exam and one more puppy shot. My 3 month old puppy is very high strung and energetic. He escaped the room a few times and when I went to grab him he was already in Dr Jameson arms in the hallway as we were waiting to see her. It was absolutely adorable. The entire staff loved on my babies, gave them each calming puppy plates filled with treats, and made us feel right at home. Dr Jameson is very thorough and took into consideration my concerns with certain treatments. She takes a lot of time in the room to answer any and all of questions. I never feel rushed or forced to do anything unnecessary and I appreciated all her professional insights for my babies. She really does care deeply for these animals and from what I can see is incredibly humble as a person, which are exactly the qualities I look for in a veterinarian. I can't recommend them enough. This is a very hard business field to be in, and they all handle everything like the champions they are. Thank you all so very much! We will see you again soon. Love, Briana, Hannah, and Landon :) read more

Hannah is treated very well. The staff is friendly and attentive. Care is compassionate and appropriate. She always receives excellent care.

I have been coming here for about three years now. My poodle Lulu, is about five years old and I wouldn't trust just anybody because she's my fur baby. We have always got great care and good information on each and every visit. Everyone is so nice and you go into a living room setting with your pet and they sit on the floor to examine your pet! The last time I was there a few months ago I was telling the young lady when she had a check up that she had problems with her anal glands they need to be expressed every six weeks or she cannot go to the bathroom. She told me about a product to put into her food and a completely cured the problem! It's called glandex . I am completely thrilled because now it isn't a problem every six weeks. I highly recommend them. read more

We are extremely happy that Paws and Claws Per care was recommended to us so Roxy can receive the attention she deserves. We are delighted that we saw Dr Jameson. She is fantastic! And so was the staff. Thank you! read more

I just can't express how comfortable the vibe is at this establishment. From the staff in the front, to the technicians and on to Shakira Jameson. My dog Rocky is always good with new humans & dogs but there is something extra that this place brings out. No tension in the waiting room and I understand that there are bills to be paid but everyone here really tries to make it an enjoyable experience. I really do appreciate it. If you need a place to care for your pet, this is it. read more

They specialize in nervous pets, so everything they do is to put the pat and the owner at ease. Very gentle and kind.

We have two indoor cats which we brought in for a wellness check in 2022 after we moved to the desert. We were told at that time they also received vaccinations. Fast forward to today when I tried to book another wellness visit. I was told by the receptionist (to my surprise) they were never vaccinated at that visit. She also mentioned that in order to have them vaccinated at their next visit (to be scheduled in March), they would need their old records. I explained that those were old records and wouldn't be applicable. What's more! They didn't even have a historic record of the cats being spayed and neutered -- which should've been covered at their 2022 wellness exam. I am not comfortable going to this vet as their records seem out of sync with what we were told at our last visit in 2022. With your fur babies you want to have trust in the medical professionals who care for them and if they don't know what's going on then that's a big red flag. read more

Dr. Alexis Rambaud and the whole team is fantastic. You can tell they love their jobs and every furry client that comes through the doors. They truly in my opinion are the best. If I could give more than five stars-I would. read more

Horrible experience when I took my sweet fur baby in to be euthanized. New vet that's helping Jameson is terrible and has no Empathy. Did go to Jameson with my concerns but nothing was done and no apology was given..... PLEASE Beware of her. Very painful and disappointing. Have gone there for years and won't ever go again. Very expensive better offices are available. read more

Friendly staff! My dog stayed for one day and was groomed all at a very good price. Definitely recommend this place if your in the area read more

Held on voice mail for 15 minutes only to be told no new patients. Not a great first impression. No thanks!

I love this Paws and Claws. My cat is very picky. I call him the grumpy old man, because that's what he is at home. Of course, he's this loving, purring and licking your hand at the vets. They are so great with him. He seems to be mellow at Paws and Claws. Maybe they will adopt him, only kidding. I live my gray Persian cat, Blue. Paws and Claws is the place for dogs and cats of any size. read more

Everyone at Paws and Claws have been so wonderful to us. We've had to say goodbye to two of our elderly fur babies, Batman in 2022 and Ollie a few weeks ago , and Dr Rambaud and her colleagues have been so amazing and made what is horrible time in our lives so much easier. This morning we received a lovely hand written condolence card signed by all the employees, which is so nice of them and completely unexpected. Thank you to everyone at Paws and Claws, you're all amazing and we will certainly be clients for life. read more

I found them by chance, desperately trying to find a place that can see my cat urgently. His eyes were painfully swollen and he was not getting better. After pleading with so many places, everyone shut me down with no appointments being available for over 2-5 weeks. I reached out to friends, and one immediately told me of this place and how they would "recommend it to everyone if they could!" I told them what was going on, and they told me they could squeeze me in a couple of days. First off, "WOW." I arrived and they took Juju inside, after about 10 or so minutes the doctor called me with a follow up about his check up and diagnosis. They were all SO NICE and Informative on everything. It was my cats first time being out and alone with anyone in 8 years, and he came out in a great mood! They told me he didn't freak out on them at all. It's been 3 days now and his eyes are looking normal again and he's such a happy cat again. They listened to me, treated Juju perfectly, and gave us amazing service for a reasonable price. They even called to follow up a day or so later. I am so grateful to have found this place and I would recommend them to everyone! read more

We have been bringing our dogs here for years, even before they moved to the new location. This place truly cares about the animals. I have nothing but great things to say about the way they take care and treat my pups. Very professional. No complaints in that department. Honest truth , this business absolutely sucks at the telephone. They never ever answer the " press 1 for emergency line " I always have to call multiple times and press multiple buttons to maybe get a hold of someone. And once you do they have appoints 3 months out and it's like you actually have to fight to get your animal in. read more

Very nice staff. I went for the acupuncture but now have one of my dogs being seen there. It's cheaper than Palm Desert Veterinary.

Well, we brought Thelma and Louise in for their check up today and all went well teeth look good heart sounds good. Lungs sounds good. They got a Manny and a petty updated their vaccines. Dr. Jamison gave them a full positive bill of goods. We love Paws And Claws everybody here is so helpful friendly Passionate and compassionate thanks Dr. Jamison and your team for taking such great care of our girls read more

We had been going to another vet for the past 3-4 years, they were great till a recent situation where they gave an insanely high estimate for a semi-necessary surgery. So we were told to check out Paws and Claws for a 2nd opinion by a friend. First off, it was great to come to Paws and Claws, and actually be taken in at the scheduled appointment time. The appt was at 9am, we got there at 850am to do the initial paperwork, and a vet assistant took us back to an exam room before 9am. Our original vet is only doing drop offs, and we've waited 30-50min every time. It was also great to actually see the doctor with our dog. Paws and claws has someone in house who has a ton of experience with cystotomy surgeries, which is what our dog needed, which made their estimate already far lower than our previous vet. To be direct, the surgery came out to $1450(a bit lower because we already had a ton of pain meds as the other vet over prescribes), while our original vet had quoted $3200 up to $3800, their price in part being higher because they do not have someone in-house and would need to pay a premium for a traveling surgeon. I also believe that x-rays/radiographs are far more reasonably priced at Paws and Claws. Everyone has been really helpful and kind and very good with communication here. Our original vet I still think is good, its a hard service to provide, but we are definitely bringing our dogs to Paws and Claws moving forward for wellness checks and all non-emergency needs as their service has been exceptionally great, and their prices are great because they have a lot of skilled in-house staff. read more

I was referred to Paws and Claws by a coworker and friend . Rocio who is awesome set up my initial first appointment for my dog's laser therapy. Dr Rambaud came in and sat down on the ground with my dog and myself. She went over my dog's history and was really cool to chat with about my Dog. All the techs were super nice. The energy in the clinic was awesome. My dog felt relaxed during his first visit. Many thanks read more

My pet and I have been going to P&C over a year. We've had relatively good experiences with scheduled preventive care and planned neutering surgery. Even for appointments planned well in advance, there have frequently been reasons requiring us to come in additional times and unscheduled. Why not schedule them the way you execute? Clear message was our time wasn't a consideration, nor was the office efficiently managing. I pushed back when multiple visits seems to be a theme. Why it matters: When we've had urgent needs, they have never been there. They seem to have no room in the schedule for urgent patient needs. A couple referrals, offer to add to cancellation list. Recently I called a few times explaining with greater detail how urgent our need was. I got another woman who said a tech agreed my pet needed immediate care and gave me a referral to a new urgent care I wasn't aware of. It is random degree of care and stressful when we need help. Some feedback - please don't say "see if I can fit Fido in" as if it's getting a haircut or massage. Give some information that can help or just say sorry, no and hang up. Getting a reminder from your app within an hour of this experience is what made our decision clear. read more

Moved here from L.A. and I took my shitzu to Dr Jameson.. she was great and my dog was comfortable w her. BUT when I called again to get an appt. I was told they were booked but for an additional $95.00 they'll squeeze me in... I spoke with the supervisor, she claimed Dr. Jameson implemented this policy. I explained to her that is horrible customer service, and they didn't care, so I found another great vet in palm springs. read more

Please forgive me I am a little shook about today . My dog ate Rat poison, from Neighbours house . I walked in P&C freaking out and they took her in after I begged, II got super anxious about all the questions and forms ... asked them to save her first and I would give them my car if I had too . Doctor Jameson was finally called and saw her right awayshe induced her to vomit to get rid of the poison she had just swallowed . I am still watching her for convulsions but so far she seems ok . They did everything they could , I never had a good treatment here in the desert , VCA and other places are just about the money and I uruslly drive to other cities but due to the emergency I couldn't drive far . This Dr. Jameson really seemed to care and she was so caring and professional I can't thank her enough . I was waiting for the bill to be super high due to my emergency , but it wasn't . They were fair and caring . I would recommend this place to everyone that owns a dog or cat in the desert , I truly thought my dog was going to die today thanks Paws & Claws . read more

First time here with my two 7-year-old kitty brothers and was so impressed! The examining rooms were like somebody's living room with a couch and some enticing climbing and hiding structures. My guys took advantage of the latter, one of them opting for under the couch! Dr. Juanita (I hope I have that right)!) was so sweet and gentle with my boys, and her technician was equally sensitive and warm. As new desert residents, I feel great about our decision to trust our babies with Paws and Claws! Big thumbs up! read more

Since moving to Cat City Cove in 2018 we found Dr. Rembaud and Dr. Jameson at "Paws and Claws." They are the "get down on the floor" kinda vets. No scary steel exam tables. We have taken out 14 year old Shih-Tzu and 7 year old pit bull here and have been extremely happy with both the vets and the front desk ladies. Both vets are personable and thorough. Keep up the good work! P.S. It can get really busy at this vet so please don't blame them if they refer you to another vet. read more

why this dvm has high ratings is just plain weird. they make a big deal about their special kind treatment of pets but that is baloney. they have a no-exam table exam room. big deal. pet gets comfortable but then is swooped up and brought to large, noisy exam room with several staff. and pet gets nervous all over again. they obviously forced my pet into her carrier, brought her out to me covered in loose feces. a beautiful sweet little cat. traumatized. when i changed dvm, they were too lacking intelligence or initiative to forward complete (!) records sent dr roberts only one page. outdated page. making it look as if pet was nearly two YEARS overdue on vaccine. jamison originally wrote Rx for TWICE the dosage of Gabapentin- she wrote 100 mg. it is 50 mg and thankfully i noticed the mistake immediately. jamison spends a lot of time and energy on promotion but she should pay attention to details and hiring/training professional staff. read more

Great place, nice doctors, highly recommend! I can not say enough nice things about this facility. They had to move to a much larger building after the business just kept growing and growing. When you take care of your customers, they take care of your business. read more

I just moved to the area and I was happy with my dogs first regular checkup a month ago with PAC. This morning was not the case. When I called them to ask for an appt and the receptionist asked for what I informed my dog was having shallow fast, difficultly breathing, even with that it was first appt 4/22 and referred me to a VCA. Our previous vet even in covid mode if there was a emergency saw the emergency and all of us pet parents understood we may have to wait longer. This vet didn't seem to care even in an emergency. I called another vet office who took the time to referral me to to a vet that took my dog since she was having difficulty breathing and she was diagnosed with congenital heart failure. NO thanks to Paws and Claws my dog will be able to get treated. I would've given a minus 5 stars but it's bot an option. I'm sure vets like MDs took oaths to save their patients lives I think the vets and owner needs to refresh on this and rethink how they manage emergencies. Currently they do NOT care for any emergencies of their patients. read more

Today, about nine months after my last visit, I was once again forced to deal with losing one of my beloved pets. My 19 year old Italian Greyhound suffered a stroke overnight, and I had to make the very difficult decision to let her go. The staff at Paws & Claws was just as exceptional this time as they were in July. They went over and above to be so kind and considerate, and they made the most difficult thing in the world a little more easy to bear. Dr. Jeffery was so nice and reassuring. I simply can't say enough positive things about this hospital and all of the staff involved. Thank you for being so compassionate during some of the hardest times that we pet owners face. read more

We visited for the first time this week. Both my husband & I were very impressed with the approach of care towards our dog. The staff were very engaging with both us & our dog!

We are thankful to have found Veterinary Care at Paws & Claws for our dog that will see him through his older phase. Thank you ! read more

Hands down the best vet we've ever visited. I love my cat's primary vet in Denver, yet we were traveling and needed help. The staff is wonderful, yet it's the layout of the place that's best! Pets can see each other (if they want), some well known ones walked around freely. It was so calming for the cat and us. My cat got checked out and we were on our way. read more

Terrible place. Im on a short visit and have an emergency situation needing pet medication and checkup and this is the nearby pet care. The receptionist stated i need to make an appointment for February. I mentioned the situation and how we are only in town for a few days and need to see the vet. I asked the receptionist to take my name, number and ask the doctor if he would make an exception. The receptionist refused to do so. Geez!! She would not rely the information and didn't care of the emergency. What a terrible place! Don't go here. read more

You guys should update your website. They do not take new patients. I realize these are strange times but I'd love for my new puppy to be able to go to a normal vet office. Not one in a pet store and unfortunately a lot of clinics are forcing new pet owners to do just that. Really unfortunate, like figure it out. Second note I think she said Lisa but she was talking so fast who could tell. Answers the phone and rudely rushed in the convo. If you're going to turn away services how about suggestions on who is taking new clients. Work together as a community is my piece of business advice. read more

We have been taking our 11-year old ShihTzu Gordie to Paws&Claws for one year. On his first visit Dr.Juarez knew almost immediately that he had a Cushings Disease, the necessary tests confirmed the devastating disease. Due to the many conditions that come along with the disit was necessary for Gordie to visit either Dr.Juarez or Dr.Jamison on a regular basis. He was never scared or skittish to go to Paws&Claws, the techs, front desk ladies and doctors are so compassionate and kind. Gordie passed from this horrible disease and the good people at Paws and Claws made the final arrangements much easier because of their caring ways. I'm so grateful for this office and pray they stay in business for many years to come and never sell off to VCA. read more
