We had to take one of our beloved dogs here when we learned it was the end. The staff was very patient and understanding. They went over everything with us, no pressure for anything, and were patient with all my questions. In addition, after a couple weeks we received a sympathy card which was just a special unexpected touch! It really meant a lot and they all signed it with a short message. Thank you so much for caring! read more

Communication and favn blood draw was done and wasn't enough blood serum. I had to bring her back and had to pay for them to draw that serum and then it demolished while being spun down. They had to take her back a third time all expecting me to wait for them to respin the new vile down. Very frustrating and this process began 3 months prior while starting the favn process for entry to hawaii. read more

I wanted to wait a couple of months before I wrote this review. I wanted to see if my Standard Poodle, Momo, would be good after her surgery. Momo wasn't eating for a few days and constantly had diarrhea. I just knew it wasn't right. I had a feeling may have been bowel obstruction. Momo eats everything and chews everything! Typically, she'll pass whatever she ate, socks, rubber balls, and random toys through her poop, but this time she didn't like she did 10 or 15 times before. I took Momo to my vet in Temecula. She said I had to do an x-ray first. That was 400$! The vet came back and confirmed Momo indeed has bowel obstruction. I asked the costs of this surgery and she said it would be over 5500$. I told her I can't afford that. I told my vet I'll have to put Momo down. All my vet said was "im sorry". I asked her is there any way she can work on the price for me so we don't have to put her down. She said to me, "Unfortunately, that's the price". I was sooooo disgusted bc honestly, vets don't give a care about the animals. They couldn't even lower the price by 400$ or 500$ just so the animal can live. I've probably spent about 20k on my dogs before ive learned about and purchased insurance. I've gotten to realize these vets really dont care about your dog. I've had my fair share of over-priced surgeries with unnecessary things like charging for clipping nails and extra care or food that I could have bought myself for way cheaper. I just got Momo for free as a rescue and had her for 4 months only. She's a beautiful pure bred Poodle and she was FREE!! Plus, I couldn't stand seeing her at the farm not being taken care of and having the worst matte and foxtails in her hair that I've ever seen. It didn't occur to me to get insurance for her. This vet finally came back and suggested she can call around and ask if some other places or hospital can do the surgery now and for cheaper. SoCal Pet Hospital in Murrieta was willing to do the surgery ASAP and for only 4200$. I was OK with that! This further confirmed my vet is awful! Bottom line, if it was 5500$ or 4000$ I would have paid it bc its MY dog and I'll do anything for my dog. God knows I've spent way more than that on other things and my kids. Life is just one big expense! I really just wanted to see and know if MY vet was willing to help me with the costs so Momo can live, but as expected, my vet did NOT. I took Momo to SoCal Pet Hospital and I just had to fill out some forms and they took her in. They didn't have to do an X-Ray bc I already did one with My EX Vet. Momo's surgeon was Dr. Quing. He first met with me explaining everything with the process of the surgery and then the costs. He told me step by step of what he needed to do and how the surgery works. He then reassured me, the costs is 4200$ nothing more and maybe a little less. They took Momo in and I was able to go home. They called me later to tell me that her surgery was done at 9pm and it took about 45m. Not very long at all. Momo had to stay over night and that would mean more costs, but since Dr. Quing said no more than 4200, he just let Momo stay over night with no charge. That was very nice of him. Momo was greatly cared for and they fed her and gave her - her first doses of medicines and antibiotics. The next day they called me to pick her up. Momo looked soooo much happier and rambunctious like her old self. They gave me a bag of food, meds, and care instructions. The Doctor asked if I wanted to see what the obstruction was. They said it was some kind of blue ball. It was really unfortunate that when Momo ate this toy, she jumped and played in a way where she tangled her bowels, so she was not able to pass out the ball. Funny now, but not then, those rubber balls I bought for 5$ at Walmart for Tomi and Nori ended up costing me 4600$ which makes Momo not free after all. Lmao! In 2 weeks I came back to see Dr Quing for the post check up. He said Momo looked fantastic! Momo even gained 7lbs! Its been 3 or 4 months now and Momo is still doing great! I ended up changing all of my dogs vet to this place! Tomi and Nori got a check up here and I updated my pet insurance to include Momo! I was really happy with the service and how this vet was willing to work with me on costs. I love my pets as I love my family, in fact they ARE my family so whether it was 10k or 1k, I would have paid any amount. I just don't like feeling I've been taken advantage of. I felt SoCal Pet Hospital was honest, helpful, and really cared about my pets. Momo has ins now but let's not hope any of my babies get hurt! read more

GO TO ANOTHER VET!! I've been bringing my two pets to this vet since they moved to Murrieta in 2022 and have never had an issue--until today. This was my first interaction with Dr. Dave Quing, and unfortunately, it was extremely disappointing. He came off as arrogant and dismissive from the moment he entered the room. I brought in my 12-year-old English Bulldog for her annual check-up and to get a refill on her eye oil. The front office informed me that an office visit ($50) was required for the refill. Fair enough, I scheduled the appointment and paid for the visit. During the exam, Dr. Quing insisted on running bloodwork. I explained that my dog is not experiencing any health issues, so I didn't see the need. His only justification was, "It's protocol." Since when is bloodwork required to refill eye drops? I declined the $265 bloodwork because I didn't want to stress my senior dog with unnecessary tests, especially when she's healthy and doing incredibly well for her age. Then, without further discussion, he walked out, and his vet tech returned with a letter stating that my dog "needed medical treatment" and that if her condition declined, they would consider calling animal services. All because I wouldn't agree to optional bloodwork? That felt like a threat and completely unprofessional. This experience felt more like a money grab than a medical visit. My dog has outlived her breed's average lifespan by four years--she's happy, thriving, and well cared for. I'm shocked and disappointed by the lack of compassion and integrity shown by this vet. If you want a veterinarian who listens and treats both you and your pet with respect, look elsewhere. read more

We drove from Orange County after hearing such great reviews about Dr. Quing. First off, the staff is beyond welcoming. They clearly saw my husband and I were distressed about our 15 year old pup (who had been going downhill for about a week - heart murmur, fluid in stomach, and just everything else that could go wrong) and they showed us so much empathy and compassion about our situation. Dr.Quing is so knowledgeable and I genuinely appreciate how he laid out everything in layman's terms for us to easily understand. He not only gave us several options to consider but walked us through each of them and the potential outcome for them. He was not pushy, our initial invoice didn't have anything that wasn't "necessary" (trust me, my husband and I have had our share of declining random add ons at other clinics), and we felt we could be honest with him about how much we were able to spend on our visit. I really appreciated this. If you live in the area and need a vet, you are in luck! For anyone who doesn't mind driving a distance and just wants the best for their pets , I promise SoCal Pet Hospital is worth the drive. read more

They aren't as competent as they seem! Let's start from the beginning. Our beloved Remy had been vomiting uncontrollably starting February 23nd. By the following morning we knew something was seriously wrong. So we rushed him to VCA where they preformed multiple X-rays to determine that Remy in fact did have a foreign object blockage. Once we received word that Remy was going to need an emergency extraction surgery we immediately started calling around to see who had availability. First red flag is when we called SoCal to ask if they had availability as we needed an emergency extraction surgery. They said the doctor was unfortunately unavailable at the moment so they wouldn't be able to give us an answer as to whether they were able to take him in or not. Since this was an emergency we politely stated we'd take Remy elsewhere as this is a situation that needs immediate attention. As soon as we mentioned "elsewhere" they suddenly were able to take him in. So we rushed our beloved Remy down to SoCal to get the emergency surgery done. We called later that evening to check up on Remy as they had not reached out to us yet. They had informed us the surgery was a success and they would be needing to keep Remy for the following 2 days for after patient care. After the 2 days was up we were able to go pick Remy up. They informed us Remy wouldn't poop for a few days but their main concern was the vomiting. Remy was home for two days before we had noticed something was off. March 2nd we reached back out to SoCal to inform them Remy had been vomiting, he looked off, and started acting strange. They asked us to bring Remy in. When we got there they performed an ultra sound to double check nothing was of issue with Remy. They CONFIDENTLY told us Remy looked fine and healthy and we would be alright to take him back home. They explained to us we need to keep force feeding him his medication and now food since he had been vomiting and not eating much. Within 24 hrs of Remy being back home his lungs, abdomen, and rest of his body filled with blood and other fluids. At 2:00am March 3rd Remy was rushed to VCA where we ultimately were forced to euthanize our beloved Remy. Because of this whole ordeal, their false confidence, and the thousands of dollars we spent just to ultimately have to euthanize our baby. I cannot out of good faith recommend this veterinarian clinic. read more

This place isn't too bad. I got in right away and was quoted 570 for a spay but it ended up costing me closer to $700. They got my little girl in and out within hours and there weren't any issues. They cut her open pretty big, I thought the incision would be a little smaller but who knows. read more

I used to like this place very much because they were affordable, the staff were amazing, and they seemed to genuinely care about my dog. After my last visit, I have decided to take my dog elsewhere. The staff customer service has gone down extremely, I'm not sure if it's because they have a newer staff or they just don't care anymore. Please note that your customers can hear what you say through the door no matter how low you think you can whisper, and speaking negatively on them with other staff members is incredibly unprofessional. Also, maybe try not to close the door on the customers face when they are walking behind you. The past few visits I have been in they have tried to charge me crazy amounts for simple things. They would try to add bloodwork, steroid shots, anesthesia, and other unnecessary things that my dog didn't need for a simple check up like an ear infection and a rash. If they actually cared about my dogs health instead of trying to do a money grab they would've known it wasn't an ear infection but his ears were extremely dry. A blood test, steroid shot, and anesthesia isn't something necessary for that. I have found a new vet that was able to assist me in what my dog needed without having to do all the unnecessary tests. I really used to like this place but it has gone downhill within the past year and I will no longer refer people to this location anymore. The staff needs an upgrade, maybe with people who aren't looking for a money grab and with better attitudes. read more

Socal Pet Hospital saved my cat's life by taking him to urgent care fast, taking him into immediate surgery, and being so kind, helpful, and informative throughout the whole process. I cannot thank them enough for everything they've done for me and Macaroni through this very stressful time. I see many reviews about pricing and overcharging, I was shown in writing everything that would have been expected for his emergency overnight procedure and the estimate of that, which was around 5,000. I a college student was shocked but SoCal pet hospital waived many fees to help me out and gave me an itemized bill afterwards. After I immediately got pet insurance, I recommend many of you to invest in that as pricing for your pet will be expensive ANYWHERE! It is a luxury to own a pet and if I am paying money for a procedure I'm glad to know my pet will be safe and cared for throughout it. read more

They're wonderful! They've helped us get our prescription for our doggie with heart issues. And helped with his incessant biting and sores.

Total lack of empathy. Rather than let my daughter hold her dog one last time, they put her to sleep, and then brought her out. Because they were in it for the buck. We lost another pet recently, at a different pet hospital, and they were so kind and so wonderful and walked us through everything and I would absolutely recommend them, but I'm not gonna put their name on your post. Terrible terrible place. I'd never go back. read more

I was able to be seen the same day for my cats swollen face. It turns out my cat was bitten by a snake(rattlesnake). The quote came to 2500-3000k for treatment. I went forward as without treatment my cat would have died. They said they would call me throughout the day for updates and to let me know if my cat would need to stay the night. By 6pm I finally called them, they said I could pick up by 9pm. The amount came to less than the quoted price, so I was happy about that. The staff was very help full while I was there.the doctors explained to me what was needed. I would recommend coming here. And you get $5 off if you use the yelp check in. read more

This clinic belongs in Beverly Hills where clients can afford it! We have had our cat sedated and groomed here in the past for a cost of over $485.00. We were very dissatisfied with their service as they sent our cat home still out of it from the sedation and his cat box was full of urine. We paid for a catheter which was probably never used! Nevertheless we called again for an estimate for sedation and shave and we were quoted over $535.00 plus! We had our cat done elsewhere in Hemet for 375.00$ and they did a great job! read more

Actually , I recommend this place. I went for my first time last night due to my kitten being sick. I was in and out very fast and sent home with medication for my little guy. King was super knowledgeable, assured me of my pets condition. They treated him as well and he's doing amazing this morning, didn't wake up with crusty eyes, his nose isn't runny as much any more just overall doing better. I high recommend them , as other vets are expensive, sure they're kinda a lot but not where you're going to break the back like VCA or another Vet place. read more

Read the 1 star reviews, this vet is money hungry and that is it. He disguises his evil character by calling your pets "this baby" ok thanks. He tried charging me $3000 for x-rays for my pet who threw up. Just like the other 1 star reviews, this place creates traumatizing experiences and preys on people who are in vulnerable positions. My husband and I are both in healthcare jobs, firefighter and speech therapist. We would never prey on families who are in vulnerable positions, that's not why we do what we do. I think this vet specifically chose this career to make money and that is it. Do not be deceived with his pictures holding animals, likely charged that family $5000 to take that picture for yelp. Take your babies elsewhere, Murrieta pets deserve better. SHAME ON THIS PLACE. read more

So I am writing this review for a second time as my first one was deleted because allegedly it wasn't descriptive enough. Clearly just the owner wanting to take magnetite reviews down so I imagine I am not the first. I took my dog into the vet as me and my wife were concerned as he had skin irritation spot and had thrown up his dinner. This vet said he knew exactly what the skin irritation was and he'd patch it up, whatever that means. 1. Vet was wrong about the cause of the skin irritation. He 100% said he knew what it was and was going to give incessant medication and treatment. 2. Because my dog had normal throw up once that evening he wanted to order X-rays and scans. I know my dog, and he was acting normal so I knew it was unnecessary and I knew my dog hadn't gotten into anything. The cost of all of this was approaching 3 thousand dollars!!!! So I said no thank you. At this point the front desk was extremely rude and I'm sure it's their protocol but the front desk and not the vet made me sign an AMA, saying it's not their fault if my dog dies. Way to guilt people. I took my dog to his usual vet the next day and paid you guessed it $0. He was totally fine and just had a hotspot from licking. Throw up u related. This place is a scam and the vet has no integrity, please don't ever take your animals here, you're better off going anywhere else. And I'm sure the vet will try to take this review down again because it's the truth and he hates the truth. read more

My poodle boys have been going to Dr. Dave Quinn since we moved to the Temecula Valley area a year ago. This past week we went to get our pups allergy shots..the shots were given expediently and all questions were answered. I'm glad this office performs follow up calls. What gives this practice 5+ reviews is my boy Bow had a complicated neuter issue. Dr. Quing let us know in advance and the issue was corrected during surgery. Prompt appointments when needed, friendly staff, explanation of issues and recommendations, detailed reports and follow up. I've been with this practice for over a year now and my experience has been very good and most of all my boys are healthier now. Thank you Dr. Quing and staff. read more

Only in an extreme emergency would I go here. Unless you are financially good. They were nice and got her in quickly. But the first girl came in told us a deposit would be necessary and payment upon picking her up. After not qualifying for their credit options, all of a sudden they wanted payment in full upfront. Found out what caused her to be sick in the first place and had to take her home and hoped for the best. She's getting better, but the change in caring was sickening. Basically wanted over a thousand dollars for blood work and IV fluids. I realize it's a business, but I was disgusted by their actions. read more
