If I could give 0 stars I would. If you truly love and care for your animal do not trust this place. We took our playful kitten in at 11:30am 5/19/21 for some stomach concerns and allergies. They kept her until 5pm the same day when my partner picked up our Coco she was lethargic and and barely able to walk. I spoke with Sylvia who I'm assuming the the office manager there and stated they only did an ear cleaning, oral dewormer and a couple other things. But she swears up and down the did not sedate my cat. This place is a joke and I would never recommend this place to anyone. When I mentioned all the other terrible reviews on here and how what other people are saying is true she got defensive and said that those are just angry people who wrote these reviews. And I told her rightfully so our animals are our babies and when we trust a vet with them we expect them to be treated humanly. read more

Stanton Pet Hospital - She was not able to open her right eye - Veterinarians Near Me - Stanton, California

this was my first visit at the hospital and due to covid i guess the nurse receptionists come out and ask you questions about your animal. this women Stephanie, was very rude from the start. She asked me questions about my kitten and wasn't understanding me and started to give me attitude. i'm not sure about the actual nurses reviews but as a receptionist if you're gonna give immature and unprofessional attitude to patients who are waiting, suggest on getting another job. remi read more

So I came here previously for my cat and I had no issues with their service. The only issue I had which I see others had was the free visit is not for a problem or illness. It's just for a free standard/well visit. It's deceptive so need to brag about the complimentary exam. But after hearing about how they treated my sister and seeing their extremely unprofessional replies to reviews, I will not come back. A business that is customer oriented does not squabble with customers on a public forum with details about their pet. I understand time delays and covid can lengthen time estimates, but these pets are people's loved ones. If you said you'd have it done by X time and it's hours past that, you need to call. Politely. Not be rude and harass young women. I will be spreading the word that is a vet that definitely needs to be avoided.. read more

Like to thank the Dr. & all the staff who took care of Midnight . Midnights chest was swollen due to the fight he got into . They did abscess surgery and he had extended stay so he could heal . This is my second cat I have taken to Stanton Pet Hospital and the price was fair and my cats are doing great Thanks you all for doing what u do ! Sincerely Bryan , Midnight & Lucifer read more

The single star is for the young woman receptionist. She was kind and apologetic for all of the mess Dr. Kavanagh put me through. This veterinarian will constantly harass you to try to spend more money. I went in for a $50 vaccine and wound up paying $130 total. Prior to bringing my cat here, she had no infections of any sort. I only needed a rabies vaccine and they pushed it off one week, and expressed my cat's anal glands. After the expression, my cat's anus was bright red, swollen, and clearly infected. When I returned the following week to simply get the vaccine, they wanted to charge me more to treat the infection they had given her. I am extremely angry about the pain they have caused my cat. They prey on their customer's love for their pets and try to get you to pay anything. They either purposely (charged me $ to) hurt my cat to make more $ selling me the cure or accidentally hurt her and were then trying to sell me the cure. They ended up giving me the ointment for free but not before I sternly told the receptionist about my disappointment. I had 3 pets enrolled here and after this experience, none of them will be returning. As a pet parent, you want to leave your pets in trustworthy and good hands. This is DEFINITELY NOT THE PLACE. Don't even get me started on the lack of respect for your time & the fact they don't care about appointments. 1 star for the kind receptionist, 0 stars for the vet. Save your money. read more

We have taken many rescue cats to Stanton Pet Hospital for exams, as well as spays and neuters. They have always done a great job! The staff is kind and compassionate and Dr Kavanaugh does so much for community cats, we greatly appreciate it! read more

They did take a kitten that had maggots eating his tail off. I couldn't help him. I was homeless at the time. A nice lady was waiting in her truck and when she heard that the vet wouldn't help the kitty she offered to help. I'm standing balling my eyes out and the nurse very harsh says we can't help you! I am like I only have 20.00 dollar's can I do a payment plan? She just kept saying "no". Till this very nice lady took over and her cat was getting seen. She said she would take care of the kitty and make sure she got seen. So I will be forever grateful for this lady angel for helping the kitty in his time of need. read more

Too expensive, my husband took his dog there late last year for a rabies shot. That charge was reasonable, dog needed 2 half doses because he previously had a bad reaction to the rabies vaccine. They handed my husband a statement of possible charges for over $800.00. They said his dog needed these services. He said no thanks, we won't be taking our dogs there again. read more

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE! My sister took her cat in to get neutered this morning and a few hours later she received a called that her cat passed away during surgery due to a cardiac arrest , they gave her no explanation of what could of happened. Only mentioned that they performed CPR and couldn't not revive him, and the amount of money she owed was $867.00 for the neutering procedure that they didn't even finish and the CPR the performed. We are devastated and my sister regrets taking him into this awful place. My sister ended up paying $239.00 for the neutering procedure and they told her she would get bill the rest of the amount. Again do not take your pets here. read more

We brought our cat in to get fixed. They charged more than advertised over the phone and kept the cat overnight because they started four hours after from when we dropped off the cat. But the worst part was a few days later we noticed that the cat's incision was leaking a strange orange puss and smelled like old rotten cheese. We brought the cat into our regular vet (Friendly Animal Hospital) in Huntington Beach...which we should have done in the first place but we were trying to save $50. Stupid me. They immediately diagnosed the surgery site as being badly infected, which by the smell anybody could figure out. Our cat would have died for sure. After antibiotics and a whole lot of intervention our cat is doing well. We will NEVER go back to the "Stanton Pet Extermination & Cemetery". read more

I wouldn't recommend this location. I took my dog in for a neuter and when we came in for checkups, they were very passive and blamed us for the complications when we limited his activity, gave him his medication, and followed instructions. When my dog continued to bleed, we would come in for our checkup appointments and have to wait 2 hours just for the doctor to prescribe medication. The neuter and medication costed us nearly $600 just for the neuter surgery to cause more harm than done. We were quoted for a $1000+ surgery when it was their fault for botching the procedure. A red flag should have been all of the 1 star reviews highlighting the complications with surgeries. We only went here because we knew a friend came here for their dog's neuter and we had the benefit of the doubt that this place would be the best option. read more

They will put you on a schedule and not know what they're doing they do not talk to one another rude inconsiderate disrespectful when you tell them what they're doing wrong have lack of consideration and in my opinion will kill your animal that's how they treat you. even after knowing financial obligation and responsibility they still try to take down your information so they can rip you off Sylvia rude receptionist rude doctor doesn't care now once did anybody else come out to speak with me about the matter and he's our ferals were speaking about not even my personal car. read more

RUDE AND SCAMMERS! DO NOT GO HERE, THEY WILL TAKE YOUR DOG AWAY FOR HOURS AND DEMAND YOU PAY THEM WHAT THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED YOUR PET AND YOU PAY FOR MEDS BEFORE THEY BRING YOUR PET OUT TO YOU. I went there for vaccine and deworming, left paying 300 for meds I coulda got at walmart for 1/3 of price, and they didnt even vaccinate my puppy! They're not in it for the health of your pet, they're like mechanics: go in for a flat tire, they try and get you to pay for a new transmission and will say anything to convince you... read more

I trapped a stray cat I'd been feeding for four months and brought him to Stanton Pet Hospital to be neutered, vaccinated and get a convenia shot for an apparent upper respiratory infection. My appointment was set up through Orange County Community Cats, which works with feral cats and offered me advice on trapping and post-surgery care. Check-in took about 30 minutes (because of COVID, everyone waits in their car for paperwork). I picked up the cat near closing time and he has recovered just fine (as of this writing, it's been two weeks since the surgery). I had also requested a flea treatment at the appointment, but staffers said they saw no fleas and therefore didn't do that. As I was waiting in my car, I noticed the business next door is called Bottoms Up Bikini Bar. That's Stanton for you. I should add that OC Community Cats uses Stanton Pet Hospital regularly to treat the feral cats it traps, so the group clearly trusts the quality of service provided (and the prices were reasonable). read more

Stanton Pet Hospital - After the surgery. - Veterinarians Near Me - Stanton, California

I went into this hospital in hopes of just getting affordable vaccines. I couldn't be more in shock over the care this hospital gives to animals in need. We were not in a position to help our pets as much as we would have liked, but the Doctor here made sure she used her superpowers and went above and beyond helping us. Words can't even begin to express out gratitude read more

On Wednesday morning, March 4th, my dog Lola was scheduled to get spay surgery. That afternoon, I called and asked the receptionist Michelle what time I should pick up my dog. She stated we should have been notified that Lola would be staying overnight as standard procedure and I immediately felt uneasy about this. I asked if there would be someone there with the dogs and she reassured me that there would be a vet staying overnight with the dogs who had surgery. I still felt uneasy but as long as someone was there with her, I was fine knowing we would pick her up the following day. The following day, my fiance picked Lola up around 5 pm. They couldn't find our paperwork and took over 45 minutes to simply release Lola to him. There was no communication on what to look out for, proper aftercare procedures, or any update on how she progressed overnight. He was just told to bring her back in 14 days. Within 15 minutes of getting released and coming home, she couldn't stop crying with every movement that she made. That was when I noticed her sutures didn't look right. It looks as if she had holes and gaps from the hokey suturing technique. I tried calling Staton Pet Hospital several times but no one answered even though they claim to have a vet on-site overnight. Thankfully, I reached out to another clinic that was open and sent them photos of her sutures for the doctor to look at for a second opinion. As soon as the new vet saw the photos, they called me to bring her in immediately. The new vet told us if we had left it untreated and didn't bring her in, Lola would have gotten an infection and that she was surprised the original vet didn't send us home with any antibiotics or medication for Lola. The vet also mentioned she could see what the original vet tried to do with closing up the incision but they did it horribly wrong. We were sent home with topical medication and antibiotics for Lola to prevent the risk of infection. The next day on Friday, I went back to Stanton Pet Hospital to talk to them and show them how Lola left their clinic. Per my conversation with Michelle, I voiced my concerns for Lola. I mentioned that her incision was not straight and badly sewn shut, how she was in extreme pain, and how she was not able to walk. Michelle's response was that her wound may have gotten worse at home but I reassured her that it was impossible since the 15-minute window from the clinic to home with her cone on and being carried back to the house could not cause this degree of damage. Michelle then mentioned she could have an allergic reaction but it's highly unlikely since it's blatantly obvious that her cut and stitching are extremely awful. The second vet was able to quickly recognize their lack of skill with just the photos and did not mention seeing any signs of an allergic reaction. Michelle then mentioned that they couldn't do anything unless they saw Lola themselves, despite our numerous efforts to reach them that night. Honestly, they should have checked her prior to her leaving their sight. What professional business who tailors to the well being of animals doesn't perform a thorough follow up after such an invasive surgery? We decided to no longer bring Lola to their vet since we don't feel she is safe or cared properly in their hands. We sent them an email Friday night mentioning that we will never come back to them or trust them with any of our dogs. For all the trouble they caused, we asked them to refund us for the bill we had to take on. Their response stated: "With concern for Lola, and going thru the paperwork you gave us, If this is truly an infection, she should be put on oral antibiotics. The Ointment that the Emergency Clinic gave you has a steroid in it which should not be used if there is an infection present and can inhibit healing of the incision. Sincerely, Pam" No remorse, no apology, no ownership. Even if they wouldn't refund us for our troubles, they didn't even bother to apologize. Also, I truly don't believe they have a night attendant. Being new to the area, we are extremely disappointed in the unnecessary hassle and heartache this has caused and the ongoing pain Lola is in due to their lack of professionalism and accountability. As pet owners, we see our pups as an extension of ourselves. When they hurt, we hurt. And this hurt was definitely avoidable. Please learn from our mistake and never bring your pet here! They are not sympathetic, highly defensive and argumentative with ill regards to their customers and four-legged patients. Update on Lola: it's been days after, and she's had a few nights where she would continue to cry and not rest. Since the new vet didn't reopen the sutures, there's no way for us to tell the extent of damage done on Lola. read more

Stanton Pet Hospital - To his is my Nadine .. Thank you - Veterinarians Near Me - Stanton, California

I found this place with the help of a rescue friend. I'm fostering 4 kittens... and needed initial shots - and spay/ neuter. They were very busy( Surgery's are Monday and Friday).Treatment was excellent, documentation very good, including MicroChipping. Follow up care and appts. Explained. Very good and reasonable pricing. Mind you, they are busy at check in and pick up! Expect it to be 30-60 minutes. Sylvia excellent over the phone. I don't know where the 3-5 negative reviews come from... but just look at the ' newbie status' and few reviews. Tells you everything. Thanks to OC Community Cats for this referral! read more

On May 6th my beloved dog was hit by a car. In a panic I called Stanton Pet Hospital. After I told whoever answered the phone of my situation, she didn't ask what type injury it was, what type of dog or offer me any solutions. The first thing she says is "Our starting rate is $800....do you have that?" WTH! I would never recommend this place cause their only concern is not the well being of animals, just if I can pay!!! Went to a Garden Grove pet hospital and was helped right away and not once did they ask me "if" I could pay! read more

My Boston Terrier needed a prescription for Apoquel for her allergies so I decided to take her to Stanton pet hospital bc it's closer to home than her regular vet. BIG MISTAKE!!! #1 I NEVER even got to meet the vet! #2 I had to leave her there for 2 hours then got a phone call that they want almost $500 for all this unnecessary treatment. #3 The prescription was placed through their online pharmacy for 3 times the price I could have got it through 1-800-petmeds online pharmacy. #4 They would not approve the prescription ordered with 1-809-pet meds. My advice, stay away and do not take your pets to this vet. All they see are $$$$$$$ signs! What a ripoff!!!! read more

My mom took my cat to this hospital because my cat had been throwing up. The people who work there are rude, especially the doctor. They were giving my mom a hard time about my cat not being hers and that they needed to speak to me, even though the cats paperwork is under my mom's name. They ordered tests that weren't needed or weren't sure of which tests my cat needed, to find out what her problem was, and they were disrespectful. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I was referred to Stanton Pet Hospital for second opinion for my dog .We met with Dr. Kavanagh for 2 hrs. I can honestly say that I've never had a Dr.explain my dog's health concerns with such detailed answers. She gave us full explanation on our dog anatomy & their fictions.! Dr. Kavanagh knew her diagnosis by examining &!looking at her fur. You don't find many Doctors that take the time & show compassion. Dr. Kavanagh & staff were all true professionals& welcoming. Also their office coordinator, Sylvia was excellent and made us feel at ease. I highly recommend "Stanton pet Hospital" to all pet owners. You will not be disappointed.They will not make you like feel just another number. You pets will be in excellent care with staff that care. They deserve a 10 for their professionalism & compassion for our pets. For now on "Stanton Hospital"is ours and Bellas favorite place for our pet medical needs. Thank you for everything !! read more

Becareful! They will ask you to leave the pet for 3-4 hours to check up, then come out with big bill. That is how they trick people. When my kitty got infection after spay surgery, they sent me a letter that they will not do any service with me anymore so that they will not be responsible for anything. That is a smart way to hide your mess Stanton Pet Hospital! I did not know anything about this hospital until I need to bring some stray cats to spay/neuter. First impression when I call to confirm the date of surgery, the lady over there scold at me. She said she is too upset because she had to spend all day to confirm the schedule so that I should note down by myself, no need to ask her. At that time I felt something is not right about this pet hospital. They are easy to get mad without any reason. In the surgery, they said one of my stray cat is injured and they want to put it to sleep. I told them I will take her back to take care of that but they did not agree. Then they put it to sleep as we have no choice. The bad thing did not stop there. After the surgery, we decided to adopt one stray kitten(her mom is the injured cat who was put to sleep). This kitten peed in blood after the spay. I called and ask them. They said they dont know. I need to bring the kitty back to check and pay for the fee. I dont trust them anymore, so I broght my kitty to other vet to cure. The other vet said my kitty got infection after the spay. Stanton hospital should give her the antibiotic but they did not. A week later, stanton pet hospital sent me a letter said that they will not cure any pet for me anymore. I guess they are afraid of the resposible with my kitty. Dear owner! I know that you are really care the yelp rebview lol. Please take your time to take care the animal instead. I am pretty sure the vet who did surgery for my kitty on Oct 15,2021 is not a good skilled doctor. She/he should be careful because this might not happen once for me. If this happened too many cases, you will be in trouble soon. Good luck! read more

My husband took to get our cat neutered today and I am NOT happy with the service at all. I have an extensive list of things that made me upset about this place. For starters, THEY ALMOST SENT MY CAT HOME WITH SOMEONE ELSE. HOW?!? That was honestly the last straw for me. They do not provide medication for after care because they think it's "unnecessary". I would love to see any of the workers there undergo a minor surgery without any form of pain killers to take at home. Then they kept texting with all those random appointments they scheduled for my cat WITHOUT either of our consents. (Mind you, my cat was still in their "care"). What drove me up the wall was that they HANDED my husband the cone for him to put it on him when he brought him home. HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT IF HE WAS HOPPED OFF THE DRUGS GOING CRAZY? We decided to bring him here since my sister in law brought her cat to be neutered as well. Safe to say, they will never see my precious boy ever again. read more

Takes too long when you have an appointment you show up and still have to wait outside for an hour then they tell you to leave the pet. Then they call back tell you she is ready then make you get in the end of the line again another 40 minutes to pick the dog up it was supposed to be a second check up to make sure everything was all right after the main appointment. read more

Unorganized, unprofessional and rude. I spent over a thousand dollars for no relief from the original issue I took my animal in for. Ridiculously expensive for low level service. DO NOT go here. Now I have to start over at a real vet. read more

Take your money elsewhere! Due to covid I was having a rough time financially so I brought one of my 2 cats here for a spay as they advertise low cost. That's definitely not the case. They up charge you on a million things that they claim are necessary but really aren't. I was quoted at $120 for the spay and by the time they were finished my total was nearly $250, almost much as I paid for a higher quality vet to spay my other cat a year prior. On top of that, by the time 2 weeks had passed my cat's incision was not healing up properly and seemed to still be open, even with the proper aftercare of keeping an e-collar on her and keeping a close eye out. I tried calling multiple times on different days to speak with one of their vets and they would not pick up the phone. Super unsettling when you're worried about your pet and the vet you brought them to doesn't care to help with your concerns. Not to mention their system for dropping off your pet is a train-wreck. I showed up at 8 am on the dot and they had me take a random number out of a container, and that was the order they they were taking people in. I got 11, so I had to wait there for close to 2 hours while all the other people who showed up late got to hand their pet over the second they arrived because they got the numbers before 11. They were short staffed that day so I was trying to just be patient, but nonetheless, it made 0 sense. I had my other cat spayed at Family Animal Hospital in Costa Mesa. They did a fantastic job, her incision healed up perfectly within a couple weeks, and they send you home with an e-collar as well as pain medication. All of the receptionists were kind and informative as well. You get all of this there for the same price of about $250 that Stanton pet hospital charges to send your pet home with 0 aftercare (no plastic e-collar or pain meds), poorly sewn incisions, crappy customer service, and questionable knowledge of how to care for your pet after their appointment. Look into Family Animal Hospital or literally anywhere else before taking your pet here! read more

I want to give this place a zero stars, I had an appointment for my two cats at 3:30 and I asked for fleas and tapeworms treatment, well, they charged me for an extra check up that I did not ask for and they let me wait for two hours and a half. Really bad service and the vet was really racist and rude. I don't recommend this place for anyone so be careful because they do anything to charge you extra money, the people that give 5 stars are probably friends or relatives. read more

Unprofessional staff at front desk. I took my dog in and she has anxiety in new environments so I gave her a prescribed pill before arrival. My dog was whining and yapping when we first arrived and the staff seemed to be annoyed that my dog was making noise, I understand it's not ideal but isn't this a vet? They proceeded to ask me to checkin while standing outside because my dog was annoying then so I did so and then they told me to come back in 3 hours. She was supposed to get a wellness check along with a bath. They called me at 2 pm telling me my dog was ready for pickup but they were unable to perform anything on her because she was "too rambunctious" I said I would come right now to pick her up but they said they were closed??? So I waited an extra 20 mins or so before leaving to go get her. When I arrived they took an excessive amount of time to notice I was there at the front desk. They then proceeded to charge me for the wellness check that she didn't get. The vet came from the back and told them they aren't suppose to charge me bc it was not performed so that issue was solved If you value your time and your pet don't go to this vet. read more

I found this place online while looking for somewhere to neuter my puppy. They seemed very nice over the phone and I was quoted a price of 129.99 which would include the surgery, Anesthesia, pain meds, and e collar. I scheduled the appointment and upon arrival there was over an hour wait just to drop the dog off. I called once to check on him and they were very rude over the phone and when I arrived to pick him up I had tons of questions like any concerned pet parent. They completely brushed my questions off. I was told he would be sent home with pain meds that morning and all of sudden they said no pain meds were needed. I asked if there was any OTC pain relief I could give to him and she very rudely said "Just leave it alone" I let her know I had stairs and asked if I should carry him and she said no he's fine. I got more compassion/care from a PetSmart employee than I did from the vet tech here.... WILL NEVER BRING ANY PETS HERE AGAIN! read more

Our cat had a life threatening constipation problem, that is why we took our cat to Stanton Pet Hospital. After the check-up we were given a laundry list of treatments half of which were grooming items, the bill came to $1,300. In this time of financial hardship during Covid we simply did not have the funds to do this. I talked with the billing person and we were able to bring it down to $550. However on the way to pay for this I got a call from the billing person saying the doctor did not feel comfortable unless we went with the entire package, all or nothing. So we went and pick him up. With Google searches, and a lot of tender loving care I am happy to say he is on his way to a complete recovery, NO thanks to Stanton Pet Hospital. read more
