    My dog had an emergency this morning at 5:30 AM. I drove around to 3, 24 hour emergency hospitals, one is now only open from 11 AM until 7 PM, the other one had a 4-5 hour wait and the third had a six hour wait. I found this hospital by accident, but when I did arrive they made room to see my sick dog and took him right in. The vet tech Hector was very attentive and kind. He helped me feel at ease letting him take my boy back with him. Dr. Sauer called me with a prognosis and he spent time explaining everything to me until I understood. I was able to pick my boy up a few hours later, having been diagnosed treated and with medication. I feel Ozzie got excellent and caring attention and I am extremely grateful that I found them.

    Many thanks to the VCA team. Today my Lucky had an emergency. Assistant Joanna was sympathetic and understanding to us and arranged an urgent appointment. Dr. Supreet Dhillon gave my Lucky high quality care. Thank you all for your courtesy, high-quality care, and recommendations. Now Lucky is sleeping safely and recovering.

    Meds. I was guven liquid med initially. I told the vet i needed capsules because he was induce vomit whenever i gave him liquid med

    Ask the Community - VCA McClave Animal Hospital

    Does the hospital do quality of life checks and if so, do they do the process of putting the dog sleeping? What is the cost?

    Hi Peyton, thank you for your inquiry. For questions on our hospitals specific services, please give us a call at (818) 578-4040.

    Does your hospital do cremations for pets? If so how much? :(

    They will send your pet to a crematorium and then ( I believe) you can pick them up at the vets office.

At no point did we feel like we were an inconvenience, even though the staff stayed nearly three hours after closing to care for her. The entire team did an amazing job explaining the surgery, recovery process, and home care instructions. They answered all of our questions thoroughly, and I never felt rushed. Their compassion, professionalism, and dedication gave us so much comfort during a very stressful situation. Thank you for going above and beyond to save my dog's life. We are incredibly grateful and highly recommend this veterinary to anyone looking for exceptional care.

    I would not recommend this place!…read more Before driving over, I called and specifically asked what the exam fee would be. I told them I was only about 15 minutes away and was coming straight in. I arrived exactly when I said I would, and the price had suddenly changed. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch. If your pricing changes at a certain time, tell the customer when they're on the phone and saying they are on the way, not after they've already arrived. When I questioned it, the manager was unprofessional and unwilling to honor the price their own staff had quoted me just minutes earlier over the phone. There was no accountability and no attempt to make the situation right. I can easily afford the difference, but that's not the point. I don't appreciate being misled. I told them I was deeply disappointed with how they handled the situation and that I would be leaving an honest review. They didn't seem to care at all. I genuinely feel bad for the owner if this is the level of customer service being provided. The worst part was that my dog was sitting there in pain while we argued over something that should have been simple.I left and went to another veterinary clinic down the street, where my dog was seen within minutes and received excellent care. If a business won't stand behind the price they quote over the phone, it's hard to trust them with anything more important. I imagine their final bill would have been ridiculous. Thankfully, I didn't stay long enough to find out. I won't be returning, and I hope this review saves someone else from wasting their time.

I really appreciate Dr Cohen taking her time to discuss with us everything and both sides asked and answered questions. She was very kind and as our first vet to come across, she didn't make us feel worried and eased our stresses. The standard of care here was very amazing and I have no worries coming back here in the future for invaluable pet care.

My puppy didn't need to have another booster for a year. Spent money on unnecessary procedure and I felt so guilty for putting my puppy through a shot he didn't need. On top of that, they asked me to come back in a month later for ANOTHER BOOSTER SHOT!! They are very eager to schedule your next appointments but wasn't competent to take proper care of my puppy.

The last thing you want when your fur baby is suffering is to reach voicemail after voicemail. Hearing a compassionate human voice on the other end of the phone brought me so much comfort. She came to my home first thing the next morning. I was worried about my younger Golden Retriever jumping on her or interfering with her care, but she was absolutely wonderful with both of my dogs. She encouraged him to stay in the room with us once he was comfortable with her, and I truly believe that helped him understand what was happening. She was incredibly professional, but I'll never forget one small moment. Out of the corner of my eye, while I was saying my final words and paying my last tributes to my girl, I saw her quietly wiping tears from her eyes. As a healthcare provider myself, I know how often we're expected to wear a mask and stay composed. Seeing that genuine emotion didn't make her seem less professional, it reassured me that she truly cared. In those final moments, your mind races. You question whether you're making the right decision. Seeing her emotion gave me peace because I knew she wasn't simply going through the motions. I knew that if she believed my girl wasn't ready, she would have told me. Most of us are fortunate enough to experience this kind of heartbreak only a few times in our lives. She carries families through it over and over again. That takes an incredible amount of compassion. Thank you for your kindness, your empathy, and for helping my sweet Lilo leave this world peacefully and with dignity. Please take care of yourself, too. The first photo is the day Oliver met Lilo as a puppy, their first photo together. The second was taken just before the veterinarian arrived to help Lilo pass. I didn't realize until later that I had unknowingly captured both the beginning and the end of their story together I will miss my Lilo for eternity.

This is not my first review of our beloved Dr G, and I just recommended her to 6 more people again just these past 2 weeks. I always say to people I give her card to: "you will discover she is an Earth Angel - if she moved to a different town, I'd take my pup there... When you find a great vet, they are Gold! She's not only compassionate, present and knowledgeable, but also she does not oversell." Besides all the regular check ups, Dr G. has performed 2 substantial surgeries on my pup in the last 8 years, and has been extremely kind, providing valuable reassuring step-by-step updates throughout, especially aware that I had lost my beloved first dog, (with a different vet), when he did not make it through the anesthesia... In the 8 years Dr G. has been our one and only vet; everyone I have sent to Dr G. has fallen in love with her, and has thanked me for the referral. I trusted Dr G and her small compassionate team with the euthanasia of my precious second dog, Handsome. She is truly an Angel on Earth. At her Chatsworth location, I love that she's created a lovingly cozy "home environment" for the euthanasia experience. That it so needed during that deeply emotional time, and more veterinary offices ought to follow her example. I found her many years ago when I was dissatisfied with a busy veterinary front desk in Sherman Oaks, after they had made errors in my first dog's chart. Unfortunately he passed, and I learned that finding the RIGHT professional truly makes ALL the difference. So yes, I drive from Sherman Oaks. Gratefully so :) I am thankful that my cherished pups are her patients. Her ethics, her care, her kindness, her knowledge, her integrity - she's our number 1!!!

She treated both Marley and me with incredible kindness, patience, and empathy during one of the hardest days of my life. She made an unimaginably painful experience as peaceful and comforting as it could possibly be, and for that I will be forever grateful. If you are looking for a veterinarian who is not only exceptionally skilled but also deeply compassionate, I cannot recommend Dr. Fab highly enough.

I have been bringing my dog to this clinic since he was about 2 months old, and unfortunately, the quality of service has declined significantly over the years. On July 9, I brought my dog in for allergy treatment. I spent over $365 on the visit, including allergy injections, yet his condition showed little to no improvement. At checkout, I was told to bring him back for a follow-up within 14 days. My invoice clearly showed the follow-up exam fee as $0. However, when I called to schedule the follow-up, I was told I would have to pay $65. When I questioned why the invoice listed the fee as $0, no one could provide a reasonable explanation. It felt like the clinic was making up policies as they went along. Another frustrating issue was the inconsistency in how appointments are handled. During my last visit, I was suddenly told that my dog would be taken to the back and examined there instead of in the exam room with me present. I explained that this had never been their normal process during the many years I've been coming here. I even showed photos from previous visits where the veterinarian examined my dog in the exam room. I had to argue my case because they initially wanted to charge me for a doctor examination while only having a technician take my dog to the back, allegedly because they were running behind schedule. The lack of consistency, poor communication, and unexpected charges have completely eroded my trust in this clinic. As pet owners, we rely on honesty, transparency, and compassionate care. Unfortunately, I no longer feel confident that this clinic provides those things. After many years as a customer, I will be taking my dog elsewhere. I hope the clinic takes these concerns seriously because pets deserve better, and so do the families who trust them with their care.
