    Mr. Winston a true BOSSton terrier! lol
    Del E.

    Had what I thought was an emergency so I drove to Selma from Fresno because I had going here for years. I met a young woman named Bebe and she along with the other young ladies who work the front explained to me that they were all booked up. They gave me a place I could go to in Fresno and wrote it down for me. Well Bebe seeing my concern about our dog Winston, took back the note and got me in! The reason why I thought it was an emergency is when you dog is hurt and shivering what else should a dog lover think? So the vet examined him and gave a prescription and said, if Winston is not better by Friday or Monday at the latest give them a call after 9:00 am. I can begin to tell you what a relief it was for them to show me and Winston so much kindness and that is just one of the reasons for writing this review! Be sure to tell them, Del and Winston highly recommend them! Del Ellis

    I been taking all my dogs here since 2021 my last visit was last week my 14 year old dog Chevy was bitten and like always even with out an appointment they seen him right away, unfortunately my poor baby was to old for the trauma and didn't make it 4 days after his wishes passed... thank you to his vet she always took care of us and all the staff their is very friendly and caring ..

    My 13 year old beagles quality of life declined very quickly. I couldn't get her in to see a vet anywhere for approximately 2 weeks. I drove to South V and gave them her symptoms. They told me they were completely booked but could squeeze her in between appointments. They immediately took her back and did X-rays. The doctor then explained she had congestive heart failure. I made the decision to euthanize my sweet girl. I can't imagine having to see her suffer for another 2 weeks if I would have waited for an appointment.

    RIP, my friend

    See all

    I had to put my dog to sleep and the staff was very kind. They gave me the time and privacy needed to say goodbye.

    Do they neuter French bulldogs?

    Yes, very busy practice.

    Does anyone know how much deworming and flea treatment for a cat would cost here?

    Can't give you an exact answer, but I'm sure it would be less expensive at South County Veterinary Hospital than most places. The building is old, there is always a wait, but Dr. Hatayama has been our vet for many years and he has always taken… Read more

    I had a wonderful experience at Selma Pet Clinic! The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and…read morecaring from the moment we walked in. The clinic was very clean, and we were seen quickly without feeling rushed. The exam was only $45, and even after my dog received all of his vaccinations, my total came to under $200, which was very affordable. The veterinarian took the time to answer my questions and made sure my dog was comfortable throughout the visit.

    If I could give this place 0 stars, I absolutely would. I brought my cat in because he suddenly…read morecouldn't move or walk and was clearly very sick. The vet barely examined him -- only checked his heartbeat -- and immediately told me my cat was going to die. Instead of actually trying to help or run proper tests, the only thing they pushed was euthanasia and asked if I was financially stable enough to "invest" in my pet. It honestly felt like they were more interested in taking my money than actually helping my animal. Thankfully I trusted my gut and went to another vet for a second opinion. The second clinic actually took the time to evaluate him, gave him the right shots and antibiotics, and my cat recovered -- he is now healthy again. Based on my experience, this place felt careless, dismissive, and more focused on money than saving animals. I strongly recommend going somewhere else and always getting a second opinion before making life-or-death decisions about your pet.

    I want to start by acknowledging that euthanizing a pet is already one of the hardest decisions a…read morefamily can make. We were in an incredibly painful situation, our dog had bitten our daughter in the face twice and needed to be euthanized for her safety. We had adopted him from a shelter, and finding a compassionate, affordable option was not easy. Shelters were at capacity, the SPCA quoted over $500, and other vets were similarly overpriced. We called Northpoint, received a price over the phone, and made the 45-minute drive from out of town, already emotionally drained. What we experienced once we arrived made a devastating day so much worse. First, upon arrival we were informed, for the first time, that we needed to bring paperwork from the shelter where we adopted our dog. No one mentioned this when we called. Staff attempted to contact the shelter themselves, said they couldn't reach them, and then told us they might not be able to help us at all. My husband had to get back in the car, drive to the shelter to retrieve immunization records, and return, adding significant time and stress to an already traumatic experience. Second, when we were finally seen, they quoted us a higher price than what we were given over the phone. They also attempted to add an urgent care fee, claiming we had been given an urgent appointment, which was not true. My husband had to push back just to get them to reconsider. When he mentioned the original price we were quoted by phone, staff told him there was nothing they could do. We were grieving. We were exhausted. We had already driven nearly an hour and a half round trip for paperwork. And Northpoint chose that moment to add surprise fees and dismiss our concerns entirely. It felt like they knew we had no other options and used that against us. I wouldn't wish this experience on any family already going through the pain of losing a pet. If you're in a similar situation, I'd encourage you to get everything, pricing and requirements, in writing before you make the trip.

My goals were to refine her obedience, stop leash pulling, and build confidence. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Positives * My dog did gain a little more patience and became more confident around dogs at a distance. * These improvements are appreciated, but they do not justify the cost of a full board and train program. Concerns * Breed Bias: Aiyana often commented negatively about Dobermans, saying things like "This is why I wouldn't own a Doberman." For someone advertising all-breed training, this was unprofessional and discouraging. * Ear Care: Since my puppy is still posting her ears, I asked to take her home on weekends to do it myself. Aiyana declined until week 3, when I found her ear had been wrapped so tightly it cut into the skin. On another occasion, her ear was bleeding and the glue was completely dried out. When I gave feedback, instead of handling it professionally, she became defensive and refused to continue ear posting on any other dog as if she is doing a favor. * Training Regression: Instead of improving, my dog regressed. She used to know the difference between sit and down, but came back ignoring sit and defaulting to down. Leash pulling was not addressed -- I was simply told to "use a prong collar," even though she had walked nicely without one before. * Reliance on Ecollar: I have no issue with ecollars when used properly, but this training relied almost entirely on constant pressure. Without the collar, my dog would not listen at all to her. That is not effective or sustainable training. * Shocking Statement: At one point, Aiyana even told me, "I cannot do anything if a dog acts a certain way with someone else." Hearing that from someone calling herself a professional trainer was unacceptable. * Professionalism: She frequently reminded me that she had given me a discount, as if that excused the lack of progress. Sessions were delayed and if I arrived a little late due to her schedule changes she would blame me (we also have work and things to take care of and the road time, i am 40min away from her, i also never had the problem to go back to her anytime that worked), and I never received a proper recap or hand-off at the end as after i communicated about her ears she said she is uncomfortable working with us now . Final Thoughts While there were minor improvements in patience and confidence, the main goals of obedience and leash training were not achieved. My dog returned with ear injuries, regression in commands, and unreliable training that relied entirely on tools instead of teaching. I gave her time till even after the board and train being finished to wait for our recap session because maybe just maybe something would change . Which wasn't given because i gave my concern on my dog being hurt and her material not being taken care of . I wasn't blaming her -- just asking for more attentiveness. This program did not meet the level of professionalism, communication, or results I expected from a board and train. For anyone considering training services, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a trainer who provides consistent progress, safe handling, and clear communication.
