The Doctor and staff was very kind and compassionate when I had to make the decision to put down our 18year old cat. It was very hard but they were kind, compassionate and caring. We stayed with our kitty the whole way until the end and I appreciate that more that they know. Thank you for making this experience much more manageable and ensuring us we were doing the right thing.." It's hard choose to lets go of your baby but they made us smooth, painless and walked us throw the right stops and what to expect.

The Cat Doctor - Sweet Paisley my beautiful girl I love and miss you - Veterinarians Near Me - Thousand Oaks, California

I'm rly grateful to have Dr. Kody for my 3 cats- he is always there when we need him & so helpful. It's also nice that it's not a private equity vet where it seems all they do is try to maximize charges (& I don't think even do a very good job at treatment in my experience). Dr. Cody's office is the opposite of that- he actually cares about cats & the best care for them. He did a laser surgery on one of my cats nose that helped him breathe a lot better- I'm so glad he suggested this procedure because I didn't even know about it. & 2 of my cats just had giardia & he was so helpful in getting them treated for that. Thank you Dr. Cody & the great staff at The Cat Doctor Thousand Oaks! It's nice to go to a family run office that actually cares, is responsive & on top of things. It's actually rare these days! read more

I've been to a few vets around Ventura for the last seven years with my dogs and recently, my rescue kittens. No less than five friends I know that have cats insisted her care is unmatched and outstanding. While getting an appointment can be challenging because she is very popular and thus very booked up, it's worth the wait and her office approves ongoing prescriptions (my cats flea and tick meds) quickly and easily. Kendra is by far the best vet in this area from my experience. She's kind she listens and is incredibly personable her own personal experiences with her rescue cats, should she share, really shows the level of compassion and heart that she brings to her practice every day. Though I'm not jonesing to have a reason to take my cats to the vet, I feel honestly so lucky and grateful for Dr. Kendra as a vet! Including pictures of my kittens for tax, as they say ;) read more

My cats has been going to this place for 2 years. I definitely recommend this place. When you bring your cat to the vet, they already not happy but with the cat doctor, my cats don't have to feel the extra stress from other animals. Dr. Cody is patient and gentle with the patients. Most importantly, my cats seems to like Dr. Cody too. Front staff and nurses are attentive and kind as well. They also provide boarding for your furbabies. read more

Fourth review over the last 8 years of taking my sweet cats to Dr. Cody. Every positive review formerly written about The Cat Doctor in Thousand Oaks, still remains true. My cat is so unbelievably comfortable with Dr. Cody, and I always feel very confident about his handling of my cat; it's impressive to watch. Dr. Cody's presence is calming. He is a truly skilled cat whisperer. His staff are friendly, gentle with the fur-babies, smile a lot and convey they're glad to be helpful. My family (SALLYcakes included, of course!), truly love Dr. Cody and his staff-family. read more

If you want compassionate, reliable, affordable care for your cat, The Cat Doctor in Thousand Oaks is your place. They took such good care of my sweet, almost 20 year old cat Coco, and I, in the last year of her life. The wonderful Dr. Cody helped me manage her kidney disease and hyperthyroidism with medication and a prescription diet. It worked well for about 10 months but then her condition declined. We did an IV bag for a bit and took other measures but she stopped eating, not even her treats, lacked energy and was stumbling. So when it was time to make the hardest decision a pet's human companion has to make, they took care of us in the end too. On the day of, Drew (front desk person) was especially kind to share his decision to put his own 15 year old pet down, which was helpful because it's a huge responsibility to make this choice, albeit a humane one. They made it as pain-free as something so painful could be. I'm so grateful for this little country like office and for the kind people who work there (Thank you so much Dr. Cody, Christine, Drew, Amaya, Sarah, Theresa and others for the TLC).

Dr. Cody is the quintessential cat doc. Most vets I have been to, while very competent, are more experienced with canines. Dr. Cody is a specialist in feline medicine and understands cats. The staff is engaged, empathetic, courteous and efficient. Charlie has been diabetic for nearly a dozen years. Now he is battling inflammatory bowel disease. I feel he is in good hands with Dr. Cody. I highly recommend him to anyone who loves their cat(s). read more

I felt my cat Tommy was in good caring hands during his visits. We all are blown away with the high costs of veterinary medicine but it is like everything else .... Expensive but a necessary one. Consider the staff, equipment, rent etc! I also take comfort in that this practice is solely dedicated to felines read more

We had to euthanize our cat, unfortunately. This business was very compassionate and we felt well taken care of. Highly recommended.

This will be my last review for a long while because our beloved Soft Kitty went to be with her sister Hard Kitty last week. Soft stopped eating and was struggling so we made an emergency visit to see Doctor Cody. After our detailed feedback, his examination and her age (18 1/2) he diagnosed her with kidney failure. Dr. Cody did not recommend additional testing but we requested some bloodwork just to confirm. We appreciated Dr. Cody not pushing costly tests on an already difficult situation. The tests confirmed his diagnosis and we made plans to bring her back in a couple of days to have her put to sleep. Right when we walked in Christine ushered us into the love room (that's what I call it) which we greatly appreciate. We loved Soft up and when it was time Dr Cody came into the room. He genuinely shared his condolences and sat on the ground next to Soft and petted her. He told us that it was a selfless thing to do and it was the right thing to do. Soft went peacefully and we are grateful for all of the warmth and kindness shown by Dr. Cody, Drew and Christine and the entire staff! RIP Soft Kitty read more

We were able to get a last-minute appointment with Dr. Cody for our 18-year-old cat who was vomiting and had other worrisome symptoms. We were going out of town for two weeks the very next day so we weren't sure what the outcome was going to be. After Dr. Cody recommended a few tests it turned out that Soft Kitty had pancreatitis and needed medication and hydration. We decided to leave Soft Kitty at The Cat Doctor for two weeks so that she could get the care that she needed. We called every couple of days to get an update from Christine and Drew and they were always very helpful. Although we live in Las Vegas and Simi Valley we choose to go to Thousand Oaks to The Cat Doctor because they specialize in cats and because of the great Yelp reviews. Don't hesitate. read more

Any Locals, Pls Don't go to there. My be loved cat had enough time to get proper treatment for 2month, however for 2months, The Dr didn't give "any" proper treatment. Due to lack of any treatment my cat passed away on the day we went to there!!! We visited there 3times. I didn't know it's so emergency because the Doctor didn't say anything about it. This horrible Doctor didn't explain to me my cat was in the emergency fatal situation. Well I was afraid of death but since the Doctor didn't mention about it, I didn't think it's emergency fatal situation. Why didn't he say that? Why didn't he ask us go to knowledgeable advanced doctors / specialist ? If you don't know what's causing & don't have any ideas, You should've gave us / refer us to more knowledgeable advanced specialists. My be loved cat obviously getting worse however he didn't do anything. Why I had to suggest treatment plans and research about it. Him&receptionist they don't care about anything. One time I was calling there because it's emergency, the office lady screamed /yelled at me "Noooooooookiooooooo" on the phone. At the last visit, he said my cat looks better then same day afternoon we had to go to access ( emergency) They told me my cat had toxic reaction from Thiaminethis cat doctor prescribed. First visit they charged a few hundred $ then the treatment was just prescribed food. Second visit was about $900 we got vitamin. I was speechless his treatment plan was $6 human supplements, I paid $900 then treatment plan was $6. This second time why why why why why you prescribe $6 vitamin to the cat who looks like being fatal. This point, my cat started not being able to walk&being weak. Why ???????????????? Third visit also a few hundred $, we got thiamine. I gave my cat thiamine, my cat started hard breathing. Then we had to go to emergency. If the Doctor is not specialized anything, why didn't he ask us to go to different place. Or refer to any specialist. For 2months, I had to research and think treatment due to they didn't tell me what to do!! I'm really regret about I went to there. You can go to there just only for cutting nails. Do not expect they will give you proper treatment. They never ever called us to see how's my cat doing during 2months. Obviously my cat was super emergency fatal situation but they never called us to follow up. I think all people here probably wanted my be loved one pass away. I know so because the receptionist here was so much attitude. The Dr didn't tell us any. I had to ask him what to do but still didn't get any make sense things. They wanted my love pass away. Simply They didn't do anything for 2months. And looks like they just leave my cat and see passing away. I could not write this for long time&should have Went to other places. At access we had different treatments right away. I'm very regret I was choosing here. read more

Dr. Cody is such a nice man. He is understanding, caring and never judgmental. We had to put our kitty, Tia, down recently. He has a comfortable room set up for those purposes with gentle lighting and couches, not steel tables. We were able to sit together and hold her while she passed over, and Dr. Cody was so kind. This was by far the best experience I have ever had putting a pet down. That really meant a lot. I couldn't imagine taking my cats anywhere else. Aside from that event, I love that this vet is cats-only. They will never face a barking dog here or even dog smell. My only suggestion would be a way to enter from the back parking lot so that we don't have to carry our pets up stairs to get to the front. read more

I keep calling what's wrong with the phones what is wrong why does no one answer. Somebody please fix this urgent matter

This was my first time at The Cat Doctor. I brought my 2-year-old rescue cat, Oreo, in for a general checkup. Dr. Cody gave my little girl a clean bill of health other than some plaque and tartar on her teeth to be addressed later. I also brought in a stool sample to be checked for worms or whatever. Dr. Cody promised me a call the next day with the results. The doctor, his assistant and front staff were all very friendly and the total bill was very reasonable. I have found my new cat vet. read more

I am so grateful for Dr. Cody and his team. For the decade that I've had my cat I had taken her somewhere else, I wish I had known about The Cat Doctor sooner. If you want a team of people who will love and care about your cat like you do, then I highly recommend going here. They take their time and even provide a full summary about your visit. Any time I call they are patient and go above and beyond to help answer my questions. My cat's comfort zone is her bed so the team even lets her stay in it while they treat her thanks for taking such great care of Olive! read more

2 hours ago I called my regular Vet/ER at 11am to see if I could bring in my cat. I also called two other emergency vet hospitals and a backup vet to see if I could bring my cat in for a possible UTI. The regular Vet/ER's were unable to to see any animals as they were without an emergency vet on duty. They gave me the name of another VET ER. Called them, they had an 8 hour backup of patients and referred me to the vet I had just called. Long story short, called "The Cat Doctor" on a chance. Christine answered, heard my problem, took my number and said I'll call u right back, I'll check with the Doctor and see if he can make a spot to see the cat. They were booked a week out. Christine made it happen, we got Jon Doe in, and they treated him with great care! Turns out he has become diabetic. So grateful to Doc Cody, Christine and the entire staff! They went above and beyond! read more

Dr Cody & his staff are very kind & have great bedside manners!

My cat recently passed away, and I took his remains to be cremated (via their third-party contractor). The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, but they did their best to comfort my girlfriend and me. The total cost for the cremation with the remains returned was $185, which is a decent price read more

I want to write another super positive review for Dr. Cody and his team, the "Cat Doctor" of Thousand Oaks. This time I brought three males for neutering. Two were my indoor kittens, plus an outdoor male. The outdoor male is about eight years old, never neutered, and SOLID muscle. I am sure he had never been to a vet. He has been eating in my backyard for over a year. Dr. Cody always does a full exam pre-surgery and alerted me that the outdoor male had a hernia--which Dr. Cody repaired (after getting my approval). Taking a cat to Dr. Cody ensures that your cat will have pre- and post-pain support and will have Dr. Cody, an experienced caring professional, doing the surgery. His team were obviously able to manage a fearful, very powerful outdoor male with kindness. My kitties all came home safely and are recovering comfortably. The outdoor male is doing very well. He will hopefully settle into a life of no fighting, no more unneeded babies, and be calmer and happier. There is no post-surgery care needed as all three cats had pain patches placed at the back of their necks and have dissolvable sutures. That means all I need to do is to continue to provide love and comfort. I should add that all the support staff are always professional and very friendly. I have interacted a lot with the front staff, Christine and Drew. Both are professional, kind, thoughtful, and friendly. Finally, Dr. Cody's prices are very reasonable. read more

So we got a kitten a few months ago and decided to try The Cat Doctor over our prior vet, mainly because we didn't want to stress her out with dogs in the waiting room. Best decision ever! The doctor and staff are kind and patient. Our kitten is pretty friendly and warmed up to him immediately. So far he has done her shots and spay surgery- so three visits so far. Every time our kitty is relaxed and happy afterwards. I highly recommend! read more

One of the best vets I've been to. I love the cats only environment. It's calmer and quieter and my cats have been less stressed going to the vet. Their prices are reasonable and I love they are cat focused. This is my new vet for sure. My 19 year old cat has never felt better! I highly recommend the solensia shot for your arthritic cats. He's young again! read more

I was pleasantly surprised! Taking cats to a new vet you never know what you are going to get and how big the bill would be. The vet was knowledgeable and did not try to do any unnecessary tests. He treated my old lady carefully. I tried other vets in the area and was charged 3x's more. I can afford to bring in my other 3 cats for check ups! Yay!! So excited to have found him. And my kids LOVE the little play center. read more

Everyone at the Cat Doctor is amazing and I've never seen so much care and genuine love for every single one of their patients. Dr. Cody and his staff were beyond accommodating, understanding, and sympathetic to our situation and handled it quickly, and made special arrangements for my feline compadre. Even though it's a little bit of a drive to Thousand oaks, it's soooo worth it and I know without a doubt that my cats are in the best care possible. The Cat Doctor and staff rock! read more

My cat injured herself while jumping off the bed. I called several vets and they all declined to help me. So, my wife said: "What about the Cat Doctor?" I never heard of them. So, I called. Sara got me an appointment that day. Paloma was kind and thoughtful and Dr. Cody was knowledgeable. I was pleasantly surprised by how accommodating the entire staff was. I will be having my cat see The Cat Doctor from now on. Thank you to Dr. Cody and his staff! read more

It's unfortunate that The Cat Doctor has endorsed this demeaning vendor as I remember The Cat Doctor as competent. This is one of the snottiest stores I've ever been in. Using Instacart they dispensed a defective product. Trying to correct that was horribly inconvenient and demeaning. Fire whoever is managing. Clearly she is not competent at customer service. There are a lot of young people hoping for jobs. Why have you hired this ignorant. My order was pushing $200. WTF how arrogant does it get?​ read more

This is a wonderful place. I bought a Sphynx cat in Hawaii. I had him checked two times in Hawaii and they thought he was healthy. I brought him to the cat doctor and they found a heart problem, which this breed is kinda known for but was not detected in Hawaii. They sent me on to a specialist and I think my sweet kitty will have a little longer life because they caught it so early. Can't say enough about them. Front office is really nice too. read more

I recently adopted Cheeto and he needed a grooming! I was very nervous as I haven't ever taken him anywhere. Found this place and it had great reviews! He got his nails trimmed, teeth brushed, a bandana, and more! The staff there were very sweet and let me know when he would be done! They called when he was almost ready and they let me know how he did. VERY happy and will definitely be returning. I would trust them again with my baby boy! :) read more

I would like to update that the reply is not all accurate. I called and asked to not be called on a certain day and that's when you called. Plus the staff never gave me the answer you sent. If you don't have time to call patients then how do you have tone to reply on here. My question was simple and important. The staff needs training as both said you would call back that day. When you tell a patient that the follow through and not a week later. They asked me to schedule a phone appt 19 days after my original call. Why would anyone who has an important situation wait that long They are overbooked and under staffed per the wife and that is the excuse for not being able to call or help patients. Maybe they should not take new clients if they can't give the time needed. The review below is an eye opener about this practice and her experience made me realize the title cat Dr isn't accurate. Avoid this office unless you want excuses and the wife cleaning up their mess. I found an amazing vet that actually answered my question before my appt that Dr Cody wouldn't read more

I have been bringing my Himalayan, Portia, here for 10 years. Almost two months ago I called because I noticed blood in Portia's urine, something I had gone to The Cat Doctor prior for and Portia had surgery for at this same location. Their response was, "We can't see her until next Thursday, you might want to call another vet." Portia died later that day. This was an emergency, Portia had only gone to this vet her entire life, and they had her entire medical history. The disappointment I felt in their lack of concern or care for Portia was not only alarming but it broke my heart. I urge every cat owner to use caution when using this vet and take my personal experience into consideration before coming here as they do not seem to genuinely care for our precious little ones. read more

Absolutely the best vet we've ever been to!! After going to a generic vet in Camarillo for several years with our cat, when she passed away out of the blue from cancer we thought we needed a cat specific vet for our next feline friend. Dr. Cody, Christine and Drew, and their amazing technicians are very skilled here at The Cat Doctor!! Not only that, they are patient, kind, knowledgeable, and go above and beyond! Dr. Cody answers emails outside of appts (what??!)- which is so amazing especially when your appt is weeks away and you are nervous and wondering questions! We are so happy and grateful for this special place. Our kitten is not afraid of Dr. Cody or the staff, and we feel she is in the best hands possible here!!!! Thank you everyone, we love The Cat Doctor! read more

review: Everyone is super nice that i have worked with there. From Dr Cody, and the front office Christina and Drew. The techs are awesome too, but i dont recall their names...i barely remember my own..lol. Feel like the cats get compassionate, appropriate care. Pricing seems to be fair enough. Wish the wait time for an appt, was a lil shorter, but realize there seems to be a shortage of caregivers in the industry. read more
