We were looking for a vet because we had just adopted a dog. It is our first dog ever and he was…read moredoing things I had never seen a dog do before and was really worried that he may have something stuck in his respiratory system. We easily made an appointment and my husband brought him in. The facility itself is clean, with plenty of seating to wait for your appointment. The people working here are friendly and really kind. Turns out there was nothing wrong with him, it was just something chihuahuas do when excited or nervous. After realizing that, he was given a check over and turns out he's a very healthy good boy. We had to come in again for a different issue a few months later and while the people working here were still friendly and nice, I felt that our concerns weren't really taken seriously. I will come back in again because of the first experience but I might change vets if our concerns are basically ignored again.

I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I need to share my experience…read more I brought my puppy in because she was shaking her ears a lot and it seemed like something was irritating them. I also mentioned her coughing/gagging symptoms during the visit. The doctor we saw was Dr. Ledezma. We came in thinking it would be a simple ear cleaning, but she ended up being prescribed medication and additional ear treatment. After they put it on her at the clinic, her ears actually got worse and it looked like some irritation may have affected the skin on her ears, so I didn't even use it and had to take her to another vet for a different opinion and to have everything re-checked and cleaned again. For her other symptoms, I was told it was likely related to her recent spay surgery. Later on, another clinic immediately identified it as kennel cough just by examining her throat. I also want to mention she is a shelter puppy, which I did tell them. Knowing that, I would've expected kennel cough to at least be considered as a possibility, since it is very common in shelter dogs, but that wasn't brought up during the visit. During the exam, I also didn't feel very confident in the explanation given, and the overall visit felt unclear. Overall, I ended up spending close to $200 and still had to seek additional care elsewhere shortly after. I did reach out directly before leaving a review to try and resolve things first. They did offer a refund for the medication, which I appreciate, but that was the only adjustment offered. I was still asked to call in to complete the refund due to my overnight work schedule, and they only offered to refund the medication, not the ear-related charges (swab, cleaning, and exam), which made up most of the visit cost. For context, the breakdown was roughly: exam fee ($70), ear swab ($40+), ear cleaning ($40+), and medication ($40+). I've brought my other dog to this clinic before and had good experiences, which is why I initially chose to bring my puppy here. The vet assistants here was are always so nice I can say that. Having a new shelter puppy is already stressful, and this experience added unnecessary stress and additional vet visits that likely could have been avoided. I wish I had paid closer attention to the more mixed reviews beforehand. I'm sharing this just so other pet owners can make a more informed decision. I will not reach out again as this whole situation was just a lot and I gave them an opportunity to resolve this with a few emails back and forth.

It has taken me a long time to post this review (I actually wrote it over a year and a half ago),…read morebecause I still struggle with the emotional loss and the guilt of knowing I took our dogs to Cadence Animal Hospital and blindly trusted them with our pets. Almost two years later, I'm finally ready to share this. I want to start by saying that for the entire time my husband and I have had our two dogs (about 10 years since my husband's dog came home as a rescue and over 8 years since my dog came home as a tiny puppy) they had always been super healthy and showed absolutely no signs of illness, strange behaviors, severe disability or anything like that until March 27, 2024. March 27, 2024 was the day we picked our dogs up from a one-night boarding stay at Cadence Animal Hospital. We dropped them off on March 26 for vaccines, baths, and boarding with zero concerns. They had stayed there many times before without issue, so I didn't think anything of it. We picked them up the next day with two completely different dogs with alarmingly different states of mind and health. Our bigger, older dog came back with a severe limp and struggled a great deal more physically. Our smaller, younger dog (who was normally active, assertive, energetic, and fearless) came back acting like he was perpetually anxious and on edge. Both dogs had trouble eating immediately after that stay. At the time, we chalked it up to them recovering from their vaccines, and assumed our older dog was just getting older and maybe couldn't handle boarding as well anymore. But between March and May, both dogs continued to struggle. Though there was some small improvement, they were never the same as before that March 26-27 stay. Before that visit, both of them would excitedly gobble up their food in under a minute every single time. Our older dog's condition got so bad that my husband had to start carrying him outside to use the bathroom because he could no longer walk on his own. He began crying at random points during the day and throughout the night and was shaking constantly. When it reached that point, I scheduled an appointment at Cadence to figure out how to help him. It was heartbreaking to watch his health decline so rapidly. We still told ourselves it was just age, and that the boarding stay had simply been too much for him. I wish I had questioned our younger dog's changes more seriously at that time though. He had been a completely healthy, strong, energetic dog before any of this. Looking back, the odds of him changing that drastically overnight are really suspect. Because our older dog's condition had declined so severely, Cadence suggested euthanasia to end his suffering. At that point, it felt like the only option. We were devastated, but at over 100 years old in human years, we knew he had lived a long, good life. After our older dog passed, our younger dog continued showing strange behaviors and health concerns (not eating well, being anxious and panicky, etc.). There were days he seemed a little more like himself, but then he'd regress. I chalked most of it up to grief from losing his big brother Dominic. We had also just had a newborn, so we assumed all the changes in the household were hard on him too. Then we scheduled his bath at Cadence Animal Hospital on August 7, and I will always regret scheduling that final appointment he had with them. His health severely and drastically declined within less than 24 hours of that bath visit. The next day, August 8, he started acting extremely scared (hunching over, panting, clearly in distress). We were too scared to take him back to Cadence and were preparing to take him to a different vet. But when my husband went to check on him while I was with the baby, he found him lying dead on the floor. I am writing this in absolute disbelief and shock. Less than 24 hours before writing this, my 8-year-old dog passed away suddenly, after a sharp decline immediately following that single overnight stay at Cadence, a period of slight improvement at home, and then one final, severe decline after a single bath appointment at Cadence. Just a few months prior, our older dog had become severely disabled after that same overnight stay at Cadence and had to be put to sleep because his suffering was unbearable. This entire nightmare started roughly four months ago after a single boarding stay at Cadence Animal Hospital that ruined both of our dogs' lives. I'll never know exactly what happened to our dogs on March 26-27 at Cadence. Was it physical abuse? Severe neglect? A mistake with the vaccines? I'll sadly never know for sure. What I do know is that I will never easily trust a vet again, especially not Cadence Animal Hospital.

The website had wonderful suggestions on how to set your pet up in a relaxing area, how to handle the other pets maybe wanting to say goodbye, and what to expect throughout the process. I especially appreciated Dr. Olsen walking us through each step again when she was onsite. Sometimes it is difficult to remember what we read as we are actually in the process and focusing on our last minutes with our beloved. Dr. Olsen was near but not hovering so we didn't feel rushed at all; we controlled the pace at all times. She made in-the-minute suggestions that I'm so glad she asked since I know I would have regretted not doing so. For instance, she and I lovingly put my sweet dog into a basket after she left us and Dr. Olsen asked if I would like to carry her out. I balked at first but I'm so glad I did. It helped in my process of letting my darling go. Dr. Olsen had made the back of her SUV a loving tribute as I slid the basket into the back of the vehicle with a blanket for the basket to lay on and a beautiful sentiment nearby on an easel. I'm grateful to Dr. Olsen for making this difficult time as peaceful and calm as it could be. I'm so glad we chose Peace for Paws.

The recent one happened on 5/18/26. I took my 15yr. old Doxie in on 5/12 for a health panel and some bloodwork. Dr. Jessica Gunn was her Dr. and All her bloodwork was fine w/slight elevation on her renal values which I already knew. I have been putting her on renal support food & watching her diet. Also mentioned to Dr. Gunn that her breathing was faster or she seemed anxious. Dr. Gunn just said maybe she is just an anxious dog or excited at times so I didn't think nothing of it. The next few days my Doxie's breathing was more sporadic but she wasn't panting at all just her belly rising up and down faster. I decided to take her in on 5/17. Dr. Gunn suggested an X-ray, to put her in an oxygen chamber & to schedule an echo sonogram and leave her overnight. I paid a lil over $1100 for the overnight stay, X-ray and the procedures that she's done. She said she thinks it's CHF & enlarged heart. Xray results came back and the radiologist said she did NOT have an enlarged heart but Dr.Gunn insisted she did. I asked her if it was safe to take her in to the echocardio clinic instead because it was $400 less. She said yes it was safe to take her, so when they handed her to me after an overnight stay she looked lethargic, couldn't bring her head up, she was panting like crazy, her tongue was out and she on herself in the waiting room. She looked half dead! I yelled for help and said she looks worse than when I brought her in! They put her back in the oxygen chamber, Dr. Gunn passively said "Oh she just had a Syncope episode, she's in the O2 chamber now and she was just excited to see you. "She'd have to be monitored overnight again & asked to see if we can bring the echotech there then she can give her the correct meds once that happens. It was another $1030 so I reluctantly agreed but I wanted her to get the best care and get to the bottom of this! I asked to see my dog & Dr. Gunn seemed reluctant to bring me to the back & explained to me that they're doing surgeries where the O2 chamber is & I said i didn't care I just wanted to see her. She took me in the back where she was at, surgeries were being performed (it almost seemed like there was NO sterile field anywhere surgeries were performed & was just out in the open where staff was walking about). Got to the oxygen chamber and my dog was shaking & I asked if she's been fed or giving her fluids. She said not really eating or drinking. Not even an IV for hydration? I said what?!? So in my head she's probably also dehydrated & weak cos of No nutrition & No water. She responded that she didn't want to give her an IV and forget because she didn't want to over fluid her body due to her kidneys. So she's not getting any fluids or nutrients in her body! No wonder she's weak! Her condition was passed off as a "Syncope episode " instead of owning up to neglect and being so busy! It just seemed like she was covering her ass because she's been totally neglected with no nutrients or hydration! I then went home and waited 6hrs Dr.Gunn called me back and said the results said that she had a murmur, probable pulmonary hypertension with possible thromboembolic disease. No CHF which she thought it was. I asked if I should take her home and monitor her myself and she said No it's better that she stays there and staff watching her. I felt cornered and just trusted her. Reluctantly I said ok. Dr. Gunn called me at 7:11am the next morning and said she died about 1030pm last night. I said "What?!? Why didn't you call me if she was in distress or felt like she was not gonna make it?!?" I literally was 3-5 mins away! I was in shock because she seemed unworried the day before. I also asked if they tried CPR at that time? She calmly said "No that wasn't really an option considering her condition. " What? So she was left there to die ? And you call me 9 hours later to tell me she's dead! What protocol is that?!? I'm paying $1000 a night w/no attempts to save her? She said I did everything I could (to make me feel better) . Of course I did! I spent over $2000 in hopes that she had the best care under her. The question is Did she do everything she could?!? The answer is NO! My regret is Not taking her home knowing that everything she did wasn't working! Mochiko is her name and she died in a cold kennel with strangers around her instead of me trying to bring her home to give her the care she wasn't getting there and if All fails then at least she'd die in my arms in comfort and I'd be the last thing she'd see. I Regret not taking her home alive especially knowing that they weren't giving her the right care! I'm so sad that the care and approach Mochiko had was just passive and not approached seriously with common sense! I'll never take any pet there again! What a nightmare my dog went through and now what I'm going through!

Our little Eddie gave us quite the scare last night. Thank goodness we found a 24 hour vet spot in…read moreVeterinary Emergency Group. We rushed him in when he ate some of his bone and looked like he wasn't properly breathing. He got extremely lethargic, started shaking and worried us enough to scoop him up and put him in the car at 10pm to bring him here. As soon as we walked in the staff welcomed us at the door and buzzed us in. They took his vitals right away and looked at his gums which were still pink so that was all good signs they said. His temperature was good, too. We then were asked to wait on the couch with him till the doctor could come talk with us. As we were sitting there, another poor doggie was rushed in with an emergency more important for sure so the vet was focused on him. Which was totally fine! As we were sitting there, Eddie stopped shaking and seemed like he was getting better, thank god. The vet did eventually come over to us and she was so nice. Dr. Kat. She explained that she felt like he seemed pretty normal and that sometimes that can happen and we did the right thing bringing him in and if it happens again we can bring him in again. She told us there was no charge for the visit, which was SO kind. We definitely were expecting to pay something for them checking him, but she said we were good to go. It was so kind of her. Definitely a five star experience. Every single staff member was so nice and just seeing them interact with the other doggie patients, you can tell everyone here really cares and loves what they do, helping animals. Hopefully we don't have to come back haha, but if we do need to go to an emergency vet, this one will definitely be it.

I brought my dog here for the first time last year due to excessive sneezing - we saw Dr. Inna and…read moreshe was very nice. She ran a couple of blood tests, chest and snout xray and told me the results all led to my dog (12 year old Pomeranian) having CLL (guaranteed). There was no other tests run, no blood clot test, no fungal test... nothing. Just chalked up to cancer. My gut instinct and extensive research, since I've grown up with dogs my entire 31 years of life, told me that there was some type of chronic infection. Lo and behold, the aggressive sneezing started to turn into severe bloody noses that wouldn't stop for at least an hour. We ended up having to bring my dog back for a nose bleed that just wouldn't stop and we saw another vet (Dr. Larsen). When Dr. Larsen came into our room, she had a very low tone like she was about to tell me my dog was going to die without even looking at him. When she entered the room, she said " Dr. inna and I have discussed your dogs conditions and we believe that there's nothing we can do about this. That we are 100% sure he has a nasal tumor and with every sneeze, it's going to rupture the tumor and continue to bleed." When I asked if there was any medication or remedies that I could give my dog in order to help him with the bleeding, she looked me in the face and said "You could put him down" - because in her mind, he was going to live the rest of his life, uncomfortable and bleeding. I requested she give me antibiotics and send me on my way. Long story short, I received the antibiotics and I got a second opinion. My dog hasn't had a nose bleed in over a month thanks to my new vet. Dr. Larsen should be ashamed of herself.
