I'm very happy with the care my 4 lb Chihuahua received here. First visit with the doctor was very comforting because I was planning having her spayed and dental extractions. The procedure was 8/7/26 and she is doing great. Ashley was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I was very nervous because my dog is so tiny. read more

Avoid this place. It used to be called Affordable Animal Hospital and the office visits were $39. They don't let you know that they change their name and it's no longer affordable. Had I known this I would have not driven 10 miles out of my way to go back there thinking that they were affordable. The office visit alone was $75. I'm curious as to why they put you in an exam room and the tale your pet to another to administer injections. Seems really shady. This IS NOT THE AFFORDABLE ANIMAL CARE of Long Beach anymore! Still walked out with a $500. Bill. For a steroid shot and antibiotic, With NO diagnosis. My 9 year old cat has been losing his hair on his chest, bladder are and inner thighs, due to over grooming. The guy offered nothing topical just expensive tests. Handed me an estimate over $1500. Then tried selling me on tarter treatment to the tune of $1300. I mean, really? My cat HAS NO TARTER due to brushing his teeth and giving him greenies for tarter. Also, the guy, while we were there, kept referring to my cat as a she, her. I corrected him in the office, twice, and had to do so Three times when he called me. It's not a slip of the tongue if it happens numerous times. Guy was trying to sell me on the fact that my cat might have crystals in his urinary tract but yet he kept calling him at her and hers don't get crystals in their urinary tract. Avoid this place with some money grab and incompetent. read more

Overall great vet, good service and im very happy with how they have helped me with my dog.

I'm honestly very surprised at all of the 1 star, negative reviews of this wonderful vet office. It saddens me. Maybe things have changed because for us this place has been God sent. We have been taking our 2 year old Dachshund, Bowie, here since he was 9 months old. Bowie is mine and my partners first dog together, first puppy we have raised together, & he is quite literally our child. He gets so excited to see the girls in the front every time we go, they treat him like he's royalty and I love it haha. Dr. Jose Choy is very upfront and honest about what needs to be done and how much the cost will be. He also offers to send prescriptions to Chewy to lower some of the costs. Sure, English isn't his first language (I saw that mentioned in a lot of the other reviews for some odd reason) but any time I don't understand something I just ask and he is more than happy to reiterate! In Bowie's first year of life he had a few medical issues, puppy mange, ear infections, etc. Our first encounter with Spring Animal Hospital was because his neuter went terribly wrong at another LB Pet Clinic (NOT spring animal hospital) & he had gotten an infection in his incision site. Dr Choy recommended surgery to remove the infection as it had caused a tiny cyst to form. The surgery went so well, they kept us informed every hour, Bowie healed beautifully and there really isn't even a scar on his belly from it! Since then, Bowie has thrived in their care. He goes monthly for his nail trims, anal gland expression, and allergy shot. I know if I ever have any questions they are there to help and answer. They are fairly priced as well & don't have any hidden fees. They create care plans and follow them to the T. They walk you through each medication, side effects to watch out for, etc. They also accept Care Credit & United Pet Care discounts. They are very clean. They also offer little perks like if your pet is chosen for "Pet of the Month" then you get a free nail trim! One time they expressed his anal glands after I had changed my mind and decided I didn't want them done, and they didn't charge me for the service. I could go on and on forever about this vet office. They truly care and have made owning our first dog a breeze and make us feel safe! Bowie loves you guys! read more

Spring Animal Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Long Beach, California

STAY AWAY FROM THIS HORROR HOUSE: I've had to say goodbye to three of my beloved dogs over the years, and while euthanasia is never easy, it has always been a peaceful, respectful process--until I came to Spring Animal Hospital for my 20-year-old dog, Bean. My prior experiences with euthanasia at other clinics allowed me to be fully present from start to finish. The veterinarians and techs inserted the IVs in the room, then gave me time to hold and talk to my pets as they gradually became sedated. It was a slow, compassionate process, giving my dogs time to relax, stay alert, and say goodbye in their own way. Only when I was ready did the final dose bring them peacefully across the Rainbow Bridge. Spring Animal Hospital, however, turned Bean's last moments into a traumatic nightmare. After paying for the service, I was shocked when they told me they would take Bean away from me to insert the IV. This is not how euthanasia should go. The process should prioritize the emotional well-being of the pet and owner, and I've always been present before during the IV insertion to comfort my pet. Eventually, they agreed to insert the IV in the room but refused to let me hold Bean during the process, even though I know his pain points and how to calm him. When the vet tech arrived, she was visibly nervous, avoided eye contact, and seemed completely unprepared. I was alarmed when I heard from the supervisor that the tech wasn't comfortable working in front of people. In this line of work, especially with something as sensitive as euthanasia, a technician should be calm, confident, and professional at all times. Bean is vocal by nature, but as the fumbling with the IV continued--missing his veins repeatedly, dropping the IV, and struggling with the tourniquet--his screams of pain were unbearable. My poor dog was terrified, and I felt powerles as I was not allowed to hold him. It took about three attempts in each leg to get the IV in, during which time Bean was in clear distress. Then, without even a chance for me to say goodbye properly or give input, the tech hastily injected the sedative in one full push. Bean's body went limp almost immediately. His head dropped, his eye closed, and I was left holding my unresponsive baby far too soon. There was no gradual sedation, no time to connect with him during those final moments like I had done with my previous dogs. I held him, praying that he could still hear me, as I whispered my final goodbyes. I am physically sickened by what happened. I will never be able to erase this horrific experience from my mind, and it will haunt me forever. The screams, the terror in his eyes, the way he was handled--none of this should have happened. When I raised concerns with the vet (Dr. Jose Choy) about the first sedation being too fast, he dismissively argued with me and said, "Sedate is sedate--that's what it means, what did you want - him to be alive" and in the middle of the argument, administered the final dose. He then demanded I move my hand so the he could take Beans heartbeat, and said Bean was gone, rushed out, and slammed the door loudly behind him. This entire experience was traumatic, cold, and absolutely unacceptable. Euthanasia is meant to be compassionate, and the staff's lack of care and professionalism was horrifying. The only person who showed any empathy was the supervisor, Tammy, who broke down in tears and hugged me, apologizing profusely. If you are considering this clinic for your pet's final moments, please reconsider. I will be filing a formal complaint with the California Veterinary Medical Board, as the level of incompetence and lack of compassion I experienced here should never happen to another pet or their owner. This board oversees the licensing of veterinarians and technicians, ensuring that they uphold the standards of the profession. I will also be posting this on every Facebook page, IG, Nextdoor, and other places to ensure the word of this horror house gets out. read more

I've brought my cat to Spring St. Animal Hospital twice. The vet is kind, helpful, and knowledgeable and I could tell he loves animals. My cat Java really liked him. However, the office staff is horrifying. Today, i called to make an appointment because my cat has an "owie" on his nose that's not getting better. It's red and a bitnslimey, and I think it's not getting better because he sits on my back patio and flies sit on his sore nose when I'm not there. However, the girl on the phone said it was staph and that they don't take cats with staff. And then she put me on lengthy holds several times. When they picked up they said " this is the cat with staph?" I said " I don't know. You haven't seen her." They kept putting me on hold and saying they didn't take sick animals. I said "your a pet hospital." They also kept saying they could refer me to a place that would take Java. But they kept talking and making excuses and never gave me a referral. I finally started swearing at them every time they put me on hold. How dare the office staff make d8agnoses over the phone, and then neglect to g8ve me a number whomwpuld help my cat since they refused. Plus putting me on hold 5x for 10 and 15 minutes, just to say the same damn thing and not g8ve me a referral. Apparently, Sprng Animal Hospital office staff thinks they can diagnose and refuse service based on their phone diagnoses-- because they say " don't treat sick animals." Yeah, I swore like a sailor the third time i heard that after being put on extended holds 4x. And my cat doesn't have a fever, has energy, appetite, etc. He just has an owie on his nose that they want to diagnose as staph without seeing it. I could take my cat to Staples and get better treatment...from office staff. Totally hurtful and frustrating. Totally unprofessional...from the extended repeated hold times, to the recpetionist's phone.diagnosis (passed forward to other office staff) to the refusals to take an appointment or make a referral...to the endless wierd excuses without respect or concern for the pet's well being. At one pint, before I started swearing, I asked if they had any ethics...and they said they didn't need to. I asked to speak to the vet himself, since he was sworn to ethics when he graduated from vet schoool, and they said he wasn't there. And I have Pet Assure and Care Credit. But unlike the office staff at Spring Animal Hospital, I can't diagnose my cat because I'm just a college professor. And I guess we live in an era where a Pet Hospital doesn't treat sick pets??? She said it--not me. Oh: *%&#@!$ We won't be back and I will pass along MY diagnosis of the Spring St. Animal Hospital: an unprofessional and horrifying experience with the office staff. My cat and my money (and my friends and coworkers) will be staying very very far away. read more

Terrible!!!! I thought they loved and cared for my dog who has been a patient here for years. But failed to help me get her medication that is necessary for her survival in her heart failure, and didn't tell me that the medication is a necessity for her to live, and i had to find out the hard way when she almost died and wouldn't even take her in when she needed it the most. Moving vets was the best decision i've made. Only good part is that prices are extremely reasonable, but i guess it makes sense for the poor job they do on my dog. Staff in the reception area are also a little mean sometimes, but they probably just had bad days when I've went but the technicians are super nice, i wish it didn't have to come to this because they took care of her until The medication incident. Also, the doctor got mad that i went during his lunch???? My dog was in pain? And you complain about your lunch in front of me?! read more

I would not recommend this place for anything other than vaccines. I paid for the doctor consultation during a vaccination appointment because of an unusual behavior my dog was exhibiting. I explained what's going on and Dr. Choy brushed off my concerns and said all puppies do that. I've been around dogs my whole life and I knew something wasn't right. Didn't even spend 10 mins with us before we were rushed out. I went to a different vet and he diagnosed my puppy with polycystic kidney disease. She died within months. All the signs were there and Dr. Choy made me feel like an idiot for mentioning her symptoms. Save your time and money - find another veterinarian to care for your beloved animal. read more

Warning: A lot of pets die here due to misdiagnoses as seen on reviews. They misdiagnosed my cat on the first visit saying she was extremely dehydrated among other issues but found out from ER she was not. On my 1 week follow up visit from an ER visit for my cat, the discharge paperwork advised to refill and continue antibiotics for 6 weeks if we saw improvement (which we did). Not sure if he just didn't read the ER paperwork, but the vet at Spring said antibiotics was only an additional precaution that she didn't need and planned to send her home without refilling (I asked for more because I read the paperwork). Ceasing treatment for an internal ear infection could have meant the difference of her life (she was falling over and off balance as a result) - especially for a 15 year old cat. Definitely recommend paying a bit more to get quality care somewhere else. Also, the staff is super rude and the office is dirty. I stood over a pee filled towel on the ground while I checked in. Accidents happen, but it chilled there the entire time I waited for a room while the staff were surfing their student portal online. I'm down with boot strap spots with good care, but this place hella ghetto. read more

This place is horrible, it deserves to be CLOSED. They are unfriendly and unwelcoming. It was my first time visit, I brought my little Yorksherri Terrier for a dental evaluation. Milton is a 14.2 lbs & 14+ years old doggy. Dr presented us with an antibiotic and pain treatment, without explanation of treatment and medication. Milton got very hill, the mix of antibiotics and pain medication potential side effects. The treatment overwhelmed him. I will warning any pet owner, to think twice before you visiting this place. If you really love your Dog or Cat, please keep your pet away from this place! read more

We have taken our dogs to this vet location before when it was called Affordable Care Hospital and service was good. Then covid happened and they weren't doing in person visits so we didn't see how poorly the Vet treats people. We took our dogs today today and the vet is rude when questions are being asked. We won't be taking our dogs anymore. Also the wait was horrible, we didn't get called until 2 hours after our appointment. read more

I've been taking my dog there for the past four months, and my dog still has worms.

They're understaffed and have bad conversation skills with patients. read more

This place is the absolute worst! I'm taking the time for this long review in hopes that other people save themselves the trouble of trying this place out. Take your pets elsewhere! Let's list the multitude of issues I experienced: 1. My initial visit, I made an appointment a month ahead of time and took time off of work. I arrive and when they said the doctor left for the day. Why didn't they call me? They said the receptionist did not take down my phone number, when I deliberately remember giving my phone number when I made the appointment. 2. My partner brings our dogs a week later. I couldn't come because I already used my PTO the week prior. Everything goes fine. They received all our documents from our previous vet including immunization history. We get a quote for deep teeth cleaning. They let us know to make an appointment when ready. Cool. 3. Made an appointment a month ahead again because I had to coordinate to get time off of work. I come for the deep teeth cleaning and immunization updates and they tell me I can't get seen for the cleaning because the receptionist did not schedule us correctly. Furthermore they said they don't have my records from previous immunizations so they may not be able to give the vaccines. If this is so, then why did I get a postcard in the mail telling me it's time to schedule their vaccine updates?! I express my dissatisfaction and one of the receptionists talks to me like I'm inconveniencing her. Lucky for her, there's another receptionist that had a better sense of customer service apologized for the disorganization and the inconvenience they caused. I pull up my pets' records on my phone and email them to the clinic. My dogs get their vaccines. 4. Before I leave I try scheduling the deep teeth cleaning appointment. They shuffle through their computer system and their paper charts and tell me I haven't been given a quote so I will need to schedule a physical to get a quote then I can schedule the deep cleaning. I show them the document they gave us with the quote we received when we took the dogs the previous time for their physicals. So now they tell me that quote expired one week after it was given and that I would have to go through the entire process again. I asked them if that was the case, how was I given the appointment on this day in the first place? They go back and speak to the vet and say they could waive the repeat physical and schedule directly for the teeth cleaning, but next time I have to know better and schedule the cleaning within one week of the physical. How about next time make that clear since this is YOUR policy? I don't work here. I schedule another month in advanced because it's not easy for me to get approved for PTO. 5. Today I took my dog that needed the teeth cleaning. I followed their directions and made sure to stop all food and drinks after 9pm the night before. I also make sure my dog empties his bowel and bladder prior to taking him in. Things go fine until it's time for me to pick him up. I'm in the lobby waiting for them to bring my dog out and I hear whimpering on the other side of the door. I'm getting a bad feeling. That's when the tech comes out with a snooty attitude and tells me verbatim "Your dog has been throwing up because YOU did not listen and gave him food after his cutoff time." Excuse me? I respond that that was a false claim because I followed EXACTLY their instructions. What she does not realize is that I'm a registered nurse that used to work night shift on a medical surgical unit and had to tell humans they couldn't have even a sip of water or one cracker despite how hungry or thirsty they were because we are prepping them for surgery the next day. Rather than this unprofessional approach, this tech should have come out and asked me what time I cut off his intake last night, so that we can come to the conclusion that my poor guy just did not tolerate anesthesia well. She insisted that he was sick because his owners couldn't follow directions. I wanted to school her that nausea and vomiting are a common side effect of anesthesia, but I could tell that there would be no getting through to her. All in all, this clinic is ridiculously unprofessional. They are disorganized and the culture is to place blame on their customers rather than take accountability for their mistakes, or to simply accept the nature of the treatments given. The only reasons we kept coming back were because it is the closest location that takes our pet insurance, and that we were really trying to give them a chance. We wanted to say we initially experienced them while they were not on top of their game...but the consensus is that this is their actual standard of practice. I am so sad we put our babies under their care. Luckily neither of my dogs were harmed. There are plenty other veterinarians and we're willing to drive further out to avoid this place. I suggest you do the same. read more

This place was good once when it was affordable pets.. but now they're just greedy. The staff is friendly.. the vet on the other hand I can't say. Waited over an hour for my fur baby to be seen. They said they wanted to do all these labs for a crazy price which I couldn't afford on the spot. I declined and asked what it would be that they're searching for or think it might be. They said the vet don't want to blindly diagnose . So I was charged $50 for waiting and not told anything at all. They don't care about your fur baby just your money. Would definitely not Reccommend AT ALL! read more

The price i paid was not what I was quoted over the phone. There was no mention of $80 worth of "required" tests/vaccines that my cat would need to get fixed. When I questioned it I was told "they're required" then why wasn't there a mention of them WhenI asked over the phone? I was told "oh well we don't know at that time if they'll be needed" BUT YOU JUST TOLD ME THEYRE REQUIRED The dr. Couldn't give two seconds of his time - bedside manner was Poor & half the staff was just as cold. Only worried about up charging for any and everything & getting the next customer/pet in the exam room. I paid because I had no other option at the time but I will NOT return for monthly flea pills/exams or to get him fixed at your facility. One time customers keeps your attrition HIGH. I'll find a pet hospital who cares about the animal not about playing on the heart strings of the owner who just wants the best for their fur baby. 10/10 WILL NOT recommend read more

Do you want your pet in pain? Does your pet wanna die? Then take them right on over to Spring Animal Hospital where they will treat you like scum on the bottom of their shoes and then turn around and charge you for it! They take good care of their ego & will 100% make sure you as a pet parent question why you even went. My fur baby had a tumor and when I took him here, they said it would only benefit them to take it out. As in the $2500 bill they wanted to charge me. The male vet sounded more mad that I interrupted his lunch, because waiting 30 mins after a scheduled appointment was my fault. Not his, oh no... not his at all. Wasn't the rude ass receptionist that triple booked that time either. Just an overall experience I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy. read more

They should've kept him and treated him, instead, they took our money and sent my sick baby back home to die!!! Don't go to this place!!! RIP my Snoopy.. 04-15-2019 My husband did not tell me that my boy needed extra tests done and that he needed to see a specialist, you people sent my husband with my sick baby home and told him to come back in 10 days!!! And please, do not say that you have been trying to get a hold of me because that is NOT True!

This makes me so sad I took my cat here and they told me my cat had tumors. I was devastated because shes only two. So I ordered blood work, xrays and urine and a for a needle to go inside of the bumps. 1st thing they didnt do is do the needle to extract what was inside of the bumps. 2nd thing is that they didnt look at the bumps, because if they did then they would have known that it wasnt tumors, the bumps where there because of a dog bite!! 3 what they did do, which was too much was sedate her. I feel like they dont care over there they only want your money! read more

Always a pleasure to come to Affordable Care Animal Hospital with a happy staff and great doctor. A little one had a spill off of our taller bed and tore her ACL. At the time we do not what was wrong with her. We researched all the doggie hospitals in the Los Angeles and OC area and had no luck with finding a doctor with experience or affordable options. We took our chance here at Affordable Care Animal Hospital and with free examination we find out the sad news of her torn ACL. Cookie's an older doggie and we were very scared of the operation and called several times with our concerns and questions to get a clear picture of the procedure. We came in on Saturday to get her checked out and by Wednesday we were scheduled to have her survey. The staff and doctor reassured us that all will go well and tested her blood to see that she was healthy enough to go forward with the procedure. The doctor that they had come in to do the procedure had many years of experience. Cookie made it out of surgery and the nurses gave us a call right after and had to stay over night to be observed. Our healthy girl is happy and Mobile a few months after and have not gone to any other vet. Highly suggested and overall great place!!! read more

We took our 3 y/o cat, Thomas, to Affordable Animal Hospital on 11/19 because he was not eating normally. The vet noticed his weight loss and completed labs. He called the next day and said everything was normal with Thomas' blood. He attributed the weight loss to behavior and prescribed some high calorie prescription food. We tried the prescription food for a week without luck. Then Thomas started hiding in the closet and under the couch. We quickly made a follow up appointment for 11/28. We arrived early to our appointment but never made it passed the waiting area. The tech came out and said that the doctor did not need to see Thomas-stating that Thomas' labs were normal. We Had An Appointment-but he would not see us! The tech was nice. She spent time with us, giving us syringes so that we could force feed our cat 2 x a day. They did not take us to a room to talk privately. They did not even get Thomas out of the carrier to observe him, take weight, or take his temperature. They were not worried. They said that we could get Thomas a behaviorist. That's it! A few days later we went to a different vet because we knew something was wrong with our cat. They immediately saw Thomas and sent him to the hospital. He was in the hospital for three days but it was too late. Thomas died of a respiratory illness on 12/8. We have no words. Our hearts are broken. Please be cautious when going to Affordable Animal Hospital. Who knows if our cat might still be here if we went to a different vet in the beginning and treated him earlier. read more

I arrived on time for my appointment and waited 15 minutes in the parking lot with my dog who is having anxiety because of a move, going crazy in the back. They came out, I filled out the paperwork, waited some more. Called them from the parking lot to let them know my paperwork was done. Dog still not happy. 5 minutes later, the worker came out, and said, "ok, so, you are bringing her here for anxiety?" I responded yes, the barking dog in the back, reaffirmed. She said while kind of walking away, and understated, "we do a blood test for all animals coming in for anxiety." I asked, how much is that? "Depends on the dog." Hmm, ok, so bloodwork is mandatory and varies in price from dog to dog? Ok, I wish I was told this yesterday when I booked the appointment during my WORK DAY! The guy told me yesterday, $21 for the visit! So I said, "so $1 or $1000? What's the window of expected doggie bloodwork cost?" She said, "starts at one hundred . ." I said thank you for wasting my precious time to bait and switch me! Not to mention I have a dog with anxiety and a baby who just stated crawling, not a good mix. Everyday counts and now I'm stuck til Monday. If the guy had just told me they were going to do bloodwork on my dog for a hefty ransom when I booked the visit, I could've gone down the list of other options. Now, there is a nasty review and potential issue at home prolonged. read more

Right before Thanksgiving, Max started acting strange. He seemed sick and wasn't his normal self. Tried to play with tug -o-war, but it ended early when he cried in pain. Soon discovered that Max had a cracked molar tooth. Regular vet office was closed and most other local vet offices were full. Eventually got to see a vet, but Max's aggressive behavior got us kicked out after two visits. Luckily, we found Spring Animal Hospital. The staff was able to successfully restrain Max for his blood tests and examination. The hospital follows strict COVID-19 protocols. Limited contact with the doctor, but we were able to get all our questions answered through phone calls and vet techs. Really appreciate the office calling to follow up on Max's recovery. Everyone was very kind and understanding. It was a very stressful situation, but Spring Animal Hospital was able to help us when no one else could. Update: Max doesn't seem to be in any pain. Pain killers are also helping his arthritis, he's been very energetic and excited for his (short) walks. We're very lucky to have found Dr. Jose Choy and his amazing staff. Thank you. read more

Spring Animal Hospital - Nala - Veterinarians Near Me - Long Beach, California

We love the staff here, everyone's always super friendly and welcoming. They also send out emails with discounts off products and they have reasonable prices. And what's best my dog always leaves happy. There is one doctor I like more than the other because he's more engaging, but au forget his name :/ overall, great! Would def. Recommend. read more

I took my kitty in this past week. The Dr. did an assessment which I asked for clarification on. He hurriedly said a few words, left the exam room run a quick test, and never returned. Then a woman came in with a quote sheet, trying to get me to sign off on payment for interventions I still wasn't sure what they were for. After about 10 minutes of her going back and forth between the Dr. and I, my cat was given a shot and prescribed antibiotics. I realized after making the payment that the oral antibiotics had been prescribed on my cat's previous visit and hadn't been helpful. When I explained this to the woman, she nodded and then essentially said goodbye. I felt like I wasn't heard, was taken for a financial ride, still have questions, one of which I was told to "Google", and felt like my pet was just a number. Saddened, underwhelmed, and wish I would've spent my money elsewhere. :( read more

First of all, the staff here is incredibly rude. I just got off the phone with them after trying to get through 3 times for my dogs epilepsy medication, which I had called yesterday to order. They didn't know entirely when it'd be ready? mind you, for EPILEPSY medication. I recently switched to a different hospital with nearly the same prices and 1000x better than this place. My 14 year old chihuahua is suffering from several tumors and when I called here, they told me they will probably remove it the same day. Umm excuse me?? You've never seen my dog before or treated her, and you want to operate on her SAME day? It didn't feel right so I decided to look to a vet in Bixby knolls area. They ordered x-rays, blood work, and biopsy of the tumors beforehand to know what they're working with. Their prices are VERY reasonable and fair. Maybe 10-15% more than this place. They could have potentially operated on my very elderly dog who may not be able to handle such an operation. When I brought my Labrador here for his epilepsy I paid over a thousand dollars for his entire treatment and his medication is almost $100 a month. They show very little affection and care to your pets here, just pay a little extra and please take your pets elsewhere. read more
