Ever since my older dog was diagnosed with diabetes, it has been so stressful trying to find someone I can truly trust to care for her. I knew I needed someone reliable while traveling out of the country, and I'm so grateful I found this company. Maria was incredible--she sent multiple photos and updates every single day, which meant so much to me. She was thorough, attentive, and I could genuinely tell how much my pups adored her. It was such a relief to be able to fully relax on my trip knowing my dogs were being loved and cared for as if they were her own. Highly recommend!

One of our cats has severe separation anxiety and having Sarah there has been the only thing that's allowed us to travel!

She always sends pictures and updates and allows us to be away from home worry-free! Our whole family (especially our furbabies) loves her. Highly recommend!

We were SO excited. We won 2 free dog baths at the Lake Forest Pet Expo and as parents of a 1 year…read moreold baby it was a huge burden being lifted from our shoulders to get our dogs a bath. We scheduled the appointment for early afternoon and were quoted 2- 2.5 hours for completion. We had other appointments and that timeline was absolutely perfect. 3 hours later we hadn't heard from them with updates on the dogs; and when we arrived we found them to be "not quite ready". 1 was done and the other was just needing "one more good brushing". Our dogs were returned wet and not brushed sufficiently. We chalked all of this up to a "you get what you pay for" experience and were just going to look the other way on the how our car now reeks of wet dog, is covered in hair, and we had work to do on the dogs when we got home. But when we got home and prepared to finish the drying and brushing of our dogs we found our female dog missing her collar with her ID tag. Not normally a huge issue; but being as we are out on a day trip tomorrow and have hired a dog walker to take them out in our absence, we are exceptionally concerned with the fact that our dog no longer has an ID Tag and we can't replace it before we leave. Disappointing... Please note the staff is exceptionally kind and very obviously love pets.

f I've been coming to Alicia Pet Care Center for many years,…read morespecifically working with Dr. Matthew Wheaton. I was originally introduced to this veterinary hospital by my dog trainer, Vladae from SoCal Dog Training and I'm very glad I followed that recommendation. Over the years, Dr. Wheaton and his team have taken excellent care of my chocolate Labrador, Bruno. Now with my new puppy, Nico, also a chocolate Lab, choosing Alicia Pet Care Center again was an easy decision. Dr. Matthew is extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly, he is straightforward and trustworthy which is rare and very valuable. Their extended hours, including full-day Saturdays, make scheduling very convenient. They also offer a drop-off service, which is incredibly helpful when things get busy. Overall, a reliable, a bit pricey, but professional, and honest veterinary clinic. Thank you, Dr. Matthew and team.

It's possible their regular vets are fine (hopefully), but their backup vet should be avoided if…read moreyou need to bring your pets here urgently. She recommends unnecessary procedures while using fear tactics, which is a shame. The backup vet was very incompetent. She recommended the wrong solutions and suggested imaging that cannot detect soft tissue issues. She never asked any history questions, examined the wrong area entirely, and jumped straight to worst case scenarios without justification. She spent only 5 minutes on the consultation and pushed for X-rays when in my dog's case, those weren't even necessary. X-rays are not the right protocol for soft tissue issues. I didn't have a choice as they were the only place open that day. A few days later my dog is completely fine because it wasn't actually that hard to fix. He had full anal glands that just needed to be emptied ... and this vet was pushing for X-rays and bloodwork instead One thing worth mentioning, she was very quick to suggest cancer or tumors without proper justification. What she may not know is that intact male dogs actually have hormonal protection that significantly reduces the risk of certain cancers in that area. A more knowledgeable vet would have considered this before jumping to worst case scenarios. This is basic intact male biology that should be understood before making such alarming suggestions to worried pet owners. That's why I usually just bring my dogs to my regular holistic vets in Irvine and Laguna Beach. To be fair, the regular staff are lovely. The vet tech was excellent, agreed with my decisions, and actually helped. So I do believe their regular vets and staff are much better. This one star is specifically for the backup vet. Please be very careful if they assign you to her.
