This was my first visit. My 10 year old cat had a tooth that needed to be extracted. I appreciate the staffs knowledge, patience. I will definitely be bringing her back as I know the staff and veterinarian are kind and thoughtful. Thank you for fitting us in your schedule at a moments notice and smooth extraction. read more

WE needed some medicine for our cat while on vacation. We dropped in without an appointment and found there had been a dog fight (not at the vet's, but elsewhere) and that many victims were in the waiting room. The staff kept everyone calm, handled traumatized doggies with care and even got us seen much sooner than we expected, especially given the circumstance. Good people, working carefully. read more

I wish I had read the reviews before I went. Place is stinky and filthy. There is a sign to be nice to the staff but they are down right awful. We are supposed to take the mean behavior from them? No thanks I'll take my money elsewhere. read more

I took my cat here. They did a nice job on his operation. They had a mix up and sent me home with the wrong carrier. That was weird. But the staff was nice and friendly. Overall good experience read more

This office is complete chaos. They are completely overbooked, taking on way too many animals. They rarely answer the phone, and never return calls. The waiting rooms are absolutely filthy. They are constantly going in and out of doors to the back and slamming them. just not a good experience. It used to be such a great place years ago. read more

They always over booked appointments here. My dog appointment is at 9am and its 9:25am now and we are still waiting. The exam room is so dirty, need a good cleaning. The staff are nice though read more

Huge shout out to SBVC Dr. Arthur Sanders, nurses, and staff for fitting in my kitty in distress and seeing him through the crisis. You guys are rockstars! I'm so happy he is back home with me and on the mend. I can't thank you enough for looking after him. We also bring our other critters for the regular things that our pet family needs, and while this practice is incredibly busy, that doesn't take away from caring nature of everyone there. Whether you're there to see the Dr. Sanders, Dr. Ruth, or one of the technicians, your pet is in good hands. Thank you, SBVC! read more

Wonderful team of compassionate professionals I so appreciate this team who saw our beloved older cat on a walk in appointment and who kindly shared his terminal illness. They supported us through the decision to ease his pain and allow him to pass peacefully. A truly wonderful and amazing veterinary team we are so blessed to have here in Hollister We are grieving the loss of our sweet boy but appreciate the opportunity to make the right decision in a supportive environment read more

I absolutely love this place! Their doctors are top notch and their staff is amazing! I highly recommend this veterinary center for all of your beloved furbabies. I take all 4 of my golden retriever girls here and I have even had friends bring their dogs here for second opinions on issues. I trust them and their knowledge completely. They are quick to answer emails and text messages and I really appreciate their attentiveness to questions and concerns. The PetDesk app that they offer is super! I highly recommend getting this to stay on top of your pets needs. You can also schedule appointments through there! These vets care deeply about the animals that they treat and I have had first hand experience with their relationship with their animals. They treat them like family and that means the world to me! I wouldn't accept anything less. This office does so much work for our community and works tirelessly with rescue groups to save animals in need. I am in awe of how much they are willing to give to save just one little soul. We do have a limited number of vets in our town and this city is growing quite quickly so please be patient and treat them with kindness if it takes a little longer for your visits. Trust me though, they are worth the wait! Thank you San Benito Veterinary Center for all that you do! read more

Great work taking my pet in walkIn emergency. Another time not available for reasons. I wish we can use this opportunity to take our pets to local hospital instead of driving an hour away. read more

I have been happy with Dr.Sanders. He has operated on my Boston three times and his staff is very nice. If you can't get an appointment, they have an early AM drop-off option where one of the vets will see your pet in between regularly-scheduled appointments. read more

Never can get appt with this vet. Does not matter if you are a patient. And your animal is in distress. Very bad and upsetting. They are given great reviews by the rescues and they probably are good at caring for animals BUT YOU CANNOT GET PAST THE RECEPTIONIST TO GET APPT. ALWAYS SAME ANSWER. WE ARE FULLY BOOKED read more

After reading the reviews in here, I was very concerned that we wouldn't be able to get help for our little 10 pound Tibetan spaniel Sadie who tore her nail,last night-but I called in at eight in the morning just now and they said we could bring her in today so I'm just saying because a lot of people are talking about how they won't help you. Another point is we just moved into town and aren't even set up in their system with our 3 dogs yet. So just want to say a big thank you to Samantha, who goes by Sam for giving us such prompt attention and getting us an urgent care appointment for our little girl dog. So will report back in here once they see her take care of her issue. Sam also told us how to best get the old vet info on all 3 dogs to them so we can set up vaccines and wellness checks read more

We went on a short vacation and left our dogs with family. They sent us an update, indicating that one them may have an infection in their eye. Upon first glance, I can tell that it was likely a foxtail stuck inside. We were told it was swollen for about a day, therefore it was inherent that she was seen right away. I told my mom to take her to the nearest vet, as we were well aware of the likelihood that she could lose her eye. The vet took her in right away and made sure to keep us apprised of the outcome. They assured me that she was in great hands and I felt comfortable knowing that they understood the severity. Within a couple hours the foxtail was out and her eye was looking so much better. We owe a great deal of gratitude to the San Benito Veterinary Center. We know where we'll be taking our dogs from now on! read more

Thank you for always showing so much compassion for our fur babies! Professional and caring staff.

Great Staff very compassionate about the four leggeds...Not enough staff because i wait in the room for an hour before finally leaving, happens every time. She needs her cyto for these allergies.. read more

This place seemed promising , the staff can be friendly at times and other times not so much. It's busy I get it. They must see allot of pets, especially since family pet care closed . When I went in for my pets appointment they informed me after waiting for 25 minutes that they didn't have enough rooms available for my dog to be seen .. two people checked in after me and they were able to see them in a closed room with no problem. I assumed they scheduled accordingly apparently not because even with having appointment that clearly makes no difference They were nice enough to offer to give him his vaccine in the lobby with myself holding him or without. So thanks they did approach him and unfortunately my dog was already anxious at this point .. In the end they had to take him to the back somewhere .. he got his vaccine and is in pain squealing to the touch and refuses to walk without squealing . I called back just to know if everything went okay I don't do reviews I appreciate anyone who is willing to work with pets it's not easy I just really wish my experience was different read more

This was an emergency situation and not my usual veterinarian. I called mid-day during their lunch & surgery hours. They were closed but we're about to open within the 1/2 hr. They asked if could bring my dog in right away. The Vet tech saw my little guy and then soon after the vet came in for a thorough exam. She was very young and to be honest I was taken aback at just how young she looked! . Since they had no MRI they called local veterinarians to see if I could be penciled in. They spent a solid hour or more searching for a reputable place to take my dog! Meanwhile their waiting room had filled with standing appointments. I was so very grateful for them that day. Vet was excellent and vet tech was also excellent. You get the sense right away that they both care deeply about your pet. I will be bringing all my pets to this location. read more

Our dogs have seen multiple doctors here and they are all wonderful. The staff are all so nice and helpful. I feel like our dogs are getting the best care possible. Highly recommend them if you are looking for a vet in the area. It's also really nice you can text the office with questions read more

They put our cat on a prescription diet & have made it ridiculously complicated and wholly INCONVENIENT for me to purchase said food. They care more about making money off the food than they care about the well being of our animals. They should not care WHO I buy the food from. Isn't the important part that my cat actually eats it?? Their website says they are open until 6, yet they were already closed when my husband arrived well before 6. They would not approve an order from Chewy. They gave me some other website, which I'm sure they get kick backs from. I placed an order on that website 4 days ago and have only received a confirmation. It has not shipped or even been approved at this writing.This Vet is literally holding my cat's food prescription hostage. I am extremely disappointed as I actually really liked Dr Sanders and the care he provided. I do not have the patience or time for the other games going on here. What a shame. I will be taking my cat elsewhere since they only seem interested in making money off me for food my cat needs to be healthy. Disgraceful. I want to add that they do not even have the dry food in stock that we need. Their website has yet to ship it, so they have basically refused to let us get our cat the food he needs. I'm livid. read more

I would give zero stars if I could. We just brought my puppy in for an emergency he got into chocolate. They refused to help me without an appointment. They told me to call poison control. They don't care about your animals. DO NOT GO HERE read more

Horrible since the ownership changed. Took my husky to get vaccines, nails trimmed and sore paw looked at. Told they couldn't trim her nails because she's not a fan of having her paws touched (she's not). Told the doctor could not examine her paw for the same reason. Assistant said our dog "has boundaries". We've had her at multiple groomers and clinics and they've had no issue with her - and didn't have to restrain her or anything read more

We recently moved to the area and needed a vet for one of our fur baby's emergency situation. San Benito Vet saw us right away and helped us find an emergency vet to take care of Junie over the weekend. We also bring our foster pets here for exams and vaccinations. They are loving and thoughtful and reasonably priced. read more

I have had multiple poor interactions with this vet clinic. I inherited a cat when a family friend passed away who was on prescription food. I called the vet to see if I could find out why the cat was on this prescription food and get a prescription to order it in a larger bag than they sell in the store. They were going to charge me a fee for the prescription and said I needed to schedule an appointment to find out any information about the cat. I had the son of the family friend who passed away fax them a death certificate and he provided written acknowledgment that the cat was left to me and they still would not provide me a prescription or any information and said the son had not called. The son sent us proof of his conversation and mailing of the death certificate. I scheduled an appointment to euthanize my elderly dog who had been suffering from severe skin issues(rotting flesh), food allergies, vitamin deficiencies, was refusing medications, had a loss of appetite, and would not play frisbee, his favorite game. I arrived for my appointment and had to stand in a parking spot for 52 minutes before being seen by anyone while other people were seen to get prescriptions filled. After being seen by the veterinarian I was told I could not euthanize my dog until I trialed a 2-month course of an expensive medication. Knowing my dog would not take pills with other foods or treats and was not eating, I chose not to proceed with the medication. They told me I must surrender my dog or pay for the prescription because they would not euthanize him in his condition or allow me to take him home without the medication. read more

Went here in an emergency on a Sunday. They took really good care of our pup & sadly we ended up having to put to sleep a few days later. The vet stayed 2 hrs after closing to allow my son to say goodbye to his dog at home before the procedure. Above & beyond for our family that weren't even prior customers read more

Wow..... It was going well with them for a while. In the past few days, it has been unsuccessful. I am thinking either they are short-staffed or overwhelmed with too many clients. Reason? When we called, it went to voice mail, and their answering machine was FULL. I tried texting, but they didn't get back to you right away. I'm trying really hard to give them the benefit of the doubt in this situation because I understand many pets out there need attention. In our situation, our pet is sick and in need of attention; otherwise, we will have no choice and go somewhere else. Solution? We need more reliable vets around the town to relieve their stress. read more

I just wanted to share my experience with San Benito Veterinary Center. We recently found a big bump on our fur babies behind so I took him to his vet in Watsonville, it was determined that it needed to be removed, as you can see I posted the estimate for the removal. A friend urged me to take him to San Benito Vet Center to get a second opinion. Turned out to be over $700 less and on top of that they were far more informative and helpful. So happy that I found a local trustworthy vet! I highly recommend! Tell them Zeus' family sent you read more

They sent me home without explaining the blood work. The medication they gave me for my dog was full of hair and when I called to get it replaced (on the same day) I was told once it leaves the vet office they don't cover it. They're prefilled syringes!!!!! I left 20 minutes ago and the first one I opened is full of hair and my dog doesn't even shed. Worst place ever. Save your money and go someone where else. The lady who answered the phone told me to calm down and said I was rude. Sorry for being upset when you told me I couldn't get replacement medication. This read more

My elderly cat developed complications suddenly and San Benito Veterinary Center got me an appointment for the next day. The entire staff was nice and professional. The vet tech and the Doctor were the sweetest. Thank you to you both for helping my cat pass easily. read more

Our regular vet was closed but we needed help. I called another clinic and got an apt. but that was later cancelled due to vet being sick. San Benito Vet (Lindsey Sanders) had a late evening apt. we got there and The time was taken and info given. I so appreciate the appointment and finding out what was wrong with our girl Hope....stones again! There are a couple of signs in the office about customers being belligerent and foul language toward the staff. They had excellent manners and smiles and they are the folks who got us in. I went here a few times in Covid too but when ever I did, the staff was on point! Thank you so much Dr. Lindsey for helping Hope feel better! Denise read more

I would recommend going to a different vet that doesn't leave you on read when you ask a question. I don't understand 55 dollars you have to give to book an appointment. Never been to a vet that does that. If you like to wait on for an appointment your at the right spot came last year for my pup and waited in the parking lot for 25 minutes just for them to walk to my car and take him for shots. read more

This vet is constantly struggling to answer the phone. They couldn't even take my pet in for an emergency due to them being short staffed. Family pet vet closed down so they are now gonna be even more unavailable. But you would think that with taking in all these pets they would hire more help. I also noticed everytime I do go in for an appointment they take forever to check in my pet, the place is dirty, and the waiting room is so small. It's not ideal. This place is not available for your pets appointments or not. read more

I appreciated this clinic seeing my injured dog within an hour of calling them. They promptly returned my call even though I had never been to the clinic before. They were very busy, but took very good care of my dog in a timely manner and the staff were all so caring and nice. Dr Sanders did a great job stitching him up. Awesome service! read more

My step mom took our kitten here because he was sick and they quoted her $5k to help him without any guarantee. When she said that she was going to explore other options Dr Sanders and his wife proceeded to call animal control and wouldn't release the kitten to us until after being interrogated by animal control. This was used as a scare tactic to try to get her to pay for the services. This is absolutely uncalled for and wouldn't want anyone else to go through this experience. Never go here!!! read more

Just got home from bringing my Pit mix here for an ear infection. I had been having problems getting into our normal vet and had a neighbor Kristel suggest this place. I am 100% happy. They were able to get me in quickly. There was little to no wait to check in, everyone was very nice and I felt super comfortable with them taking Roxy. Dr. Lindsey Sanders was so sweet and did awesome at making Roxy feel comfortable. They were upfront about any test and the cost of them before doing them and i feel all was very reasonably priced. I will definitely be bringing Roxy, my other dog and cat here going forward and would definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for a good doc for their fur babies read more

This Vet really bites! I just moved to the area, and on the flight and so on, my cat broke a nail. I call this Vets office and found out they don't answer their phone instead they text you immediately. I thought ok, I explained and asked when their next available appointment would be. They promptly offered me an appointment same day. Then they realize we weren't already clients. Then ask me ten questions about my cat, again I answered immediately, responding to every question. After 6 texts and making two phone calls, I arrived with my cat in her carrier. After sitting in the waiting room for 20 minute, I was told they couldn't clip her nail today, because she needed a check up before they would trim her nail. They had three women working the front desk.... But they sent a young teenager girl out with that message. Unreal! I asked why in the world before traumadizing my cat, didn't anyone just pick up the phone and call me? I asked her was the Dr aware of this? I told them I wouldn't be able to come back with her for two weeks. She said she would check with the office manager. They (the manager) send this girl back out to say well if she really in pain they could do it today for an extra $175 fee, and see her on an emergency basis. What emergency? She was there at her appointed time. At that I was floored, literally! At that con job, I left.... I will not return, I wouldn't let them trim her nail if they paid me $175. Beware! just don't go there. read more
