Dr Moffatt was extremely kind and caring. She went above and beyond to make sure we could make the right choices for our lab.

Thank you to the manager at VCA for reaching out, and my update to a 1 star is solely based on costs now. I had to ask VCA to physically mail me a prescription for my pup so that I can turn around and mail it to chewy (they will not email drug prescriptions (only prescription food) or communicate with Chewy). So, if you are considering this vet, I strongly recommend purchasing your meds elsewhere: VCA charged $42.00 (2.80 a pill) for 15 MetroNIDAZOLE pills 250mg. Chewy charges $20.40 for 60 pills (34c a pill). Fenbendazole (Panacur) 4mg 3 pills. Chewy charges $20.99 (6.99 a pill), VCA $44.40 (14.80 a pill). Proplan Fortiflora - VCA 1.48 a packet, Chewy 1.04 a packet. shameful...smh. Not only do they create a barrier to shopping elsewhere but the difference in prices is almost unbelievable. But there you have it, my invoice and hop on Chewy and you can look it up yourself. Same exact meds. This is a company out to make money, I will never come to them again. And it's too bad because the vets and most of the employees are great. Final note... I asked AI about the going rates for exams and blood work in the Phoenix area. Both AI bots I asked said VCA clinics run 18-20% higher than independent vet clinics. read more

I was referred here because my kitty cat was losing weight. We saw a veterinary internal medicine specialist, who recommended a further work up. A few days later, my kitty cat started looking really sick and I ended up bringing her into the emergency room here. She was admitted overnight for some IV fluids. She was seen by a team of doctors in the morning and they did more testing at that time. I appreciated that they were very good about communicating with me to keep me updated along the way. She was ultimately diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, and they recommended probiotics and a change of diet for her. Now that she's back home, she has really turned a corner and it is looking much better and happier. I am so thankful that my kitty cat was taken such good care of when I brought her here. I'm also thankful that they were available late at night when I was really scared about what to do. read more

VCA Mesa Animal Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I had an excellent experience at VCA Mesa with Dr. Kimberly Moore and her staff. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly welcoming and kind. I never once felt rushed, and I truly appreciated that they did not try to upsell or push unnecessary services, which made the visit feel honest and stress-free. Amber Shea was wonderful and so friendly, and Dr. Moore's assistant who took Ruger's vitals on 1/31/26 was also absolutely amazing,gentle, patient, and clearly cared about my dog's comfort. Dr. Moore took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure all my questions were answered. It's not easy to find a veterinary team that makes you feel heard and respected, but this entire staff did just that. I'm very grateful for the care Ruger received and highly recommend VCA Mesa and Dr. Moore to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate vet. read more

VCA Mesa Animal Hospital - Ruger - Veterinarians Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Came here initially to use the free wellness exam after adopting our new kitty from the Humane Society. Can't say enough nice things about the staff! Everyone was incredibly friendly, kind, caring, and gentle with our new baby. Options were explained to us without any pressure to do anything we were not comfortable with. Lots of vets seem to just sell excessive testing and medications and this was not the case. Everyone was gentle and kind, and we never felt rushed with the doctor spending more than adequate time with us. The facility was clean and well maintained and easy to get to. Will continue to go to this location, even though it is further out of my way due to the care we received and the fair pricing for services. Thank you!! read more

Dr. Kelly Moffat is the most caring veterinarian I have ever taken my pets to. Roo and Sugar love their time with her. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable and has helped my pets through many medical challenges. We highly recommend Dr. Moffat and we are lucky to have found her. read more

Everyone working here is so kind and soft spoken and really helped me and my dog feel comfortable and relieved under stressful circumstances. They gave me a comprehensive breakdown of what was going on and didn't make me feel judged or try to push anything on us. Truly grateful for their help. My boy is feeling better already :) read more

They are easy to work with and have some of the lowest prices in the valley. Estimates came in close to final price.

My 13 year old Boston Terrier recently started dragging his back leg. We took him to a neurologist in Phx where he had an MRI and was diagnosed with basically a ruptured spinal cord. Although the Drs at the original Hospital were correct with their diagnosis, their care for our Dog was substandard. We in turn, took our Boston Terrier for a second opinion at VCA in Mesa. Tucker was seen by Dr Tessa Meland who was phenomenal. She was caring, direct and very informative with what was happening and what to expect. She made us feel comfortable and informed on his diagnosis with no questions unanswerable. My only regret was not going to see her sooner. I highly recommend Dr Meland over any other neurologists if your pup ever needs one. read more

Dr. Beveridge is by far the best veterinarian I have ever met. She's so attentive yet relaxed and gives such great advice for my cat. He is healing nicely after a week of treatment for ringworm. I initially only took my cat, but now I am taking my sister's cat and my parents dog here because she's so great. She recommends great treatment plans but is never pushy and makes you feel in charge of your pet's care. I would highly recommend her for all pets. I also like that I can sit in during the appointment with my pet. A lot of other places I've been to only have a drop off service but as a pet parent, I feel that it's necessary to sit into your pet's appointments. It has helped me build trust in the care my pet is receiving - I am 100% certain my little Booboo getting the best care. Although the services are a bit pricier than other places, I think it's so worth it. read more

Turned away after bringing my dog for an emergency allergic reaction after being told to go here. No help.

I have been bringing my cat, Brutus here for almost two years, and would recommend any of the staff, especially Dr Danner to anyone looking for a good place to take their animals. My cat was diagnosed with Megacolon in August of 2022, and they take such wonderful care of him every time we bring him in. With the help of Dr Danner's advice, I was able to get Brutus from about 33 pounds, down to 22 pounds. I can't say enough good things about this facility and the way they take care of their patients/clients! read more

First encounter we brought our wiggly eight month old puppy in to treat a probable infected bite above his eye. Vet prescribed an oral antibiotic and an expensive gel to apply directly into his eye. I may have actually achieved getting a little gel into the eye of our strong pup on one occasion, but follow-up appointment checked out fine. Second, third, and fourth thru sixth encounters did not go as well. It would seem after returning home from our winter visit that this facility is lacking basic testing equipment for something as simple and common as intestinal parasites. I would follow prescription and dietary instructions to the tee, drive the distance and drop off fecal specimens at just short of a hundred dollars each to be advised results could take as long as two weeks, and they came back negative on more than one occasion. We waited and watched and I picked up messy stools all hours of the day and night for three or four weeks until we were advised it may be prudent to do a more extensive and expensive test for which results we again waited a week to find he was positive for giardia, a common intestinal parasite. Things somewhat improved with treatment and we headed home to our VCA vet here. One visit. One test (a hundred dollars less than the expensive test we waited six days for results). And we knew that very visit he was loaded with giardia. To say I am frustrated, angered, and feeling financially exploited is an understatement. And there's our young pup unnecessarily spending months of his growing year suffering with common intestinal parasites because of this facility's lack of proper basic testing equipment. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. We had to bring our little dog in for an emergency surgery after our regular Veterinarian attempted to remove bladder stones and botched the surgery leaving one in her urethra completely blocking it so it was critical we do a second surgery immediately to fix it. Vca was able to see us immediately and performed a second surgery that evening successfully. Due to the first surgery causing damage our dog had to stay in the hospital for 5 nights to heal but she pulled through amazingly. Everyone at this hospital was amazing from the nice girls at the front desk to the nurses who gave our dog extra attention and were so accommodating in letting us visit her daily & all the Dr's who called us with daily updates and especially to the Dr that performed her surgery and even called us on his day off to check on her the evening she got discharged. They all went above and beyond!! Thank you so much!! read more

Our dog has been coming here for over a year now and we are so glad we came. Dr. Moffat has really helped us get our dog's anxiety/aggression under control. The staff here is nice and helpful. Would recommend for anyone with pets that have behavioral issues. read more

I have never been so disgusted by a veterinary hospital. I've had several bad experiences there. They ripped me off and misdiagnosed. The manager wouldn't call me back after very many calls to her. Very disheartening. I would highly recommend anywhere else but here. In response to your response, you absolutely should have my information as I have spent multiple thousands of dollars there and many years. I talked to your manager there who was supposed to call me back about my issues with the way you handled my pet, and then later the way you handled my other pet which was inexcusable. I finally realized it's time for a new place. She put me on ignore and would not respond. She had agreed that she would give me some of my several thousand from the last visit back due to mishandling my pet, but then would not return my calls. I gave up. So why would i message you again, when I got put on ignore in private. It's not about the money, it's about using animals for money that gets to me. read more

Good except that the late policy is enforced with a cold hard stare, an unfriendly voice, and lack of sympathy for the $50 they charge for being a few seconds over the ten minute limit. I wasn't greeted properly when I arrived and the receptionist confirmed who I was and then told me I was one minute over the 10 minute limit. When I told her that I didn't know about the policy There was no heart in the way I was told that I should know this policy as if to imply I was wrong and they were right and that's the way it is, buster. The vet was fine, but the way the late policy is enforced seemed rude in a passive way. And despite me being 10 minutes late, the whole appointment was very drawn out to over two hours. They were not busy. I had to wait 40 minutes for them to "mix the medicine for me." read more

If you're thinking of coming here for behavior with Dr Moffat, I can tell you from experience you will pay $500, she won't watch the videos or read the paperwork you submitted, will stereotype you and your dog and write down different information from what you said, then won't return your calls and her staff will say she's very busy with speaking engagements. If you're not a fan of that, work with your vet and a trainer, because this flake seems to be the only veterinary behaviorist in town and I'd go with nothing rather than a disappointing, unprofessional experience. read more

Long night here but Dr. Brian and Samantha could not have been any more compassionate, helpful professional. No one goes to an emergency vet unless their beloved fur baby is in distress but they were great with my bull terrier Rosco. It's like going to an ER so pack snacks, water, entertainment for the car and just be patient while they do their thing! My dog is on the road to recovery this morning thanks to them. Can't put a price tag on that! read more

I decided to not poison my dog with all of these made up vaccines. I got the rabies taken care of. But by using my brain and declining something that wasnt necessary or required, the doctor walks out the room in an attitude and almost let the door close on my puppys head. read more

We took our Shorkie in for IMHA and received amazing care from all the staff/Dr's. Unfortunately our baby passed but the staff did everything they could and went above and beyond to communicate and show the upmost empathy. Special thank you to Dr Gunther for holding our Charlotte and loving her when she passed as we couldn't make it back. read more

They misdiagnosed my cat's urinalysis saying she was fine and her issue was behavioral. Turns out they said they didn't read the full report and she actually has an infection. Fine, mistake. They didn't get me this information for days and when I returned the call they didn't have any solid course of action until they were almost closed on a Friday, so I couldn't make it there in time. They weren't accomodating on staying open a little later or opening a little earlier when it was their mistake. Actually, Only reason they even made a treatmenr plan is because I called and requested the treatment plan asap as my cat is clearly uncomfortable. My cat was without her medication and uncomfortable for the entire weekend when she could have been taken care of and out of pain almost a week sooner. Still have yet to hear back from the vet with any sort of apology or followup regarding her screw up. Got my antibiotic and probably will not return. Don't recommend this place at all. If I screwed up a patient's test results I'd be stuck with a malpractice suit and they're lucky I just leave it at not returning. People make mistakes but the handling of the screw up was atrocious. read more

VCA Mesa Animal Hospital's skilled Doctors and Technicians are truly invaluable when it has come to the well-being and consideration of my husband and I's two dogs, Pig and Puppy. We had been regulars to VCA since our initial move to Mesa Arizona, over a decade ago, and I cannot reiterate enough how much the team at this location sought to bring the best care to our two dogs. I always felt they loved them as if they were their own pet. Recently, one of our beloved babies, Pig, crossed the rainbow bridge and the support, generosity, and kindness that was given to us during that extremely sensitive and tough time is something I will forever be grateful for... Like most owners, I view my animals as a part of my family, and this sentiment was without a doubt shared with the amazing team members at VCA Mesa Animal Hospital. Dr. Moffat, Dr. Beveridge, Dr. Danner, Dr. Wiblin, and Dr. Gerrish provided tentative concern and care in a manner I have yet to experience at another hospital. The Administrators, specifically Dayja Myers, as well as the veterinarian support crew will forever hold our respect and appreciation. Truly an amazing group of people all around. My husband and I have since relocated down to Tucson, and having to leave behind such an outstanding group of individuals was not easy. I would undoubtedly recommend this hospital to any pet owner seeking experienced and humble staff members to provide the best care for your fur baby. I could truly go on and on, and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Best vet hospital in Mesa by a landslide. Thank you all for everything you have done for our family. I cannot express my gratitude enough. read more

I bring my baby shitzu the services and personal attention was great also use a 25% cupon so I safe money and they offer me a 1 year option do get all my dog vaccines and treatments.

I called twice, the receptionist was so rude and disrespectful she didn't seem to have any sense of empathy either. I can't believe you can work in a field where you're supposed to keep animals alive and help people emotionally and you somehow find a way to be rude. Don't work a job like that if you are miserable. read more

Very disappointed at their lack of concern fir my dog's end of life care. Couldn't get an appointment and no one called me back when I left a message my dog had passed. read more

I cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention we have received from VCA. After being hit by a car in Pinetop, AZ, my eight pound Havapoo puppy suffered a shattered pelvis and severe lacerations. The vet in the mountains did what she could, but, the dog obviously needed specialized care. Upon arrival and consultation at VCA, she was admitted and placed in their ICU. She required multiple surgeries to reduce the fractures and repair the other damage. Even after my puppy was able to chew her way out of the e-collar and pull out the sutures in her foreleg, the staff was utterly sympathetic and kind to me, never shaming me for allowing such a thing to happen. During her ICU stay, the doctors communicated with me regularly and staff was available 24/7 to answer all my questions and respond to my concerns. Huge thanks and praise for Drs. Elizabeth Stewart, Jessica Heuss, and Bianca Alva and the staff with which they have surrounded themselves. read more

This review is specifically for Dr. Richard S. Funk. He is terrible! We had a ferret who was very sick, and we had heard he was an expert with ferrets (he'd come highly required). I got an appointment with him and hurried there. Once there I was just like another number, and he treated me worse than the patients. He barely would touch my animal, and I didn't understand what he was telling me. My wife called while I was with him and she had questions. He refused to answer them. I would never ever take any animal back to this vet hospital again. EVER. read more

I've seen every vet here and highly recommend each one! Dr. Funk, in addition to treating dogs and cats, is an expert with exotics (He used to own an exotics only practice years back). Dr. Danner and Dr. Moffat are wonderful and are always great with my dogs. The staff are friendly and I never have to wait long when I come for my appointments. You can tell everyone here cares about each client and pet that walks in the door. Dr. Funk even called me to check up on my dog when he found out he got taken into the VCA Emergency Clinic one morning when he was ill, which I appreciate very much. This is a great place to take your pet! read more

Absolute Rockstars, the entire team is caring, knowledgeable and compassionate. Won't take my animals anywhere else.

Unethical business practices, bait and switch fees. They forward "estimates" of the fees, and promise to advise the customer if the charges are to exceed those prior to performing services. I had an estimate for $65 that turned out to be $600 of unwanted, unnecessary medications. When questioned about this, they claimed that the Covid situation prevented them from advising me a priori ?? So I paid the $600, and then they attempted the same scam again a couple months later. Worst vet experience of my life. A money mill, the doctors and staff care little to. nothing for the health of the pets. Will be following up with their licensing agency. Update to my review: made an appointment with a reputable vet, they said they had heard about problems with VCA Mesa ... which is supported by he dozens of horror stories posted about them on Yelp. Avoid VCA Mesa, Dr. Beverage, and Dr. Moffett like the plague. read more

Dr. Beveridge and Tom did such a fantastic job with my dog during my first visit. They were very thorough, efficient and caring. They were very patient with my dog that has an autoimmune disease. I was so happy after our visit and feel so comfortable bringing my dog back to see them. They also provided all the necessary Rabies paperwork, which made it easy for me to update my pet's records with the county. I definitely recommend Dr. Beveridge and Tom. Keepers! read more

This is the very best Vet care I have ever experienced.. a pleasure to have such caring people there.. they are so respectful and so helpful in every way.. they are Animal Lovers! So are WE! Total respect and consideration is the perfect match for our loving animals care. Thank you so much for all you do! read more

5/20/21 7pm to 11pm Dr. L and Michelle were so comforting. I am a young dog mom that has never had a dog emergency until today so I was very scared and upset. I felt like they truly cared about the care of my dog, Ducky. Their uplifted spirits kept a positive outlook and calmed my nerves. They were extremely knowledgeable, and gave me 100% of the information on what Ducky needed care for and how they would do it. Ducky is a pittie, and they didn't judge like most people do. They loved him like their own. I am so grateful for the care provided today and feel comfortable going back for anything my dog needs. Thank you times a million. And thanks for not judging Ducky by his breed. Just because a dog is a Pitbull, doesn't mean they're the stereotype. He's a big baby and these workers comforted him so well. Covid makes these situations harder, but they made it work smoothly with such perfessionalism. read more

Here is an update.. my hubby took our sick cat to VCA on a Sunday.. they were closed. Yes he too the cat to another vet and they were too busy. So my hubby brought Rocky the cat back home. On Monday afternoon 430ish Ricky was worse so again hubby took him to VCA, they could not see him and advised to go to the emergency hospital.. SO he did. This is my chief concern as Rocky passed away 12 hours after vet visit and no substantial care was given. Only offered at such an exorbitant fee that we had to bring him home. In my previous review a comnent was sent to me to correspond with the manager, which I have done. No resolution other than, I posted to their page in error. My issues are that, yes, my cat was sick and dying and we don't know why... the vet costs are so outrageous that no one offered any advice or assistance other than pay up front to get bloodwork started. This was so heartbreaking because we had no ALTERNATIVES. From NOW on, I will research my vet care like I do people care.. and still my opnion holds, This organization cares more deeply for $$$$ than our pets. Nothing will bring our pet back, but maybe I can help the next pet owner.. read more

The inconsistency of the information they provide to their customers is unacceptable. This is the health and well being of someone's pet. I was made to wait for weeks just to find out they still won't help me. I called weeks ago to check and see if I could use my friends CareCredit card to get her cat checked out because she's out of town for a long period of time. The woman I originally spoke to said I could use it, as long as I had an appointment to the actual vet, if I were to walk in for the emergency hospital, she said they would be unable to accept it without my friend being present with her ID. So I made an appointment and waited two weeks to get the cat checked out. I call the morning of my appointment, just to double check they will accept the care credit. The woman told me she won't accept it and explained something completely different than the first person I spoke to weeks ago. This is important information that people should know about, the least they can do is properly communicate their rules and regulations. Or at least have them on the website so people can reference THE RIGHT INFORMATION. Now the cats had a mysterious illness for two weeks and I don't know where to go to get help. read more

I brought my 2 cats, Martin and Willy to this Vet for their first visit after our relocating to Arizona from CA. What an amazing experience. Due to Covid restrictions they had a drive up and drop off process. Honestly, I was surprised at how well the process worked. Being that it was our first visit to a new Vet I was the typical mom wanting to be there in person. Here's what I was most impressed with....the long and thorough conversation I had with the DR after was great. Highly recommend this VCA Animal hospital. Great staff and service wrapped up in care. read more

Brought my dog in for ultrasound needed due to high liver enzymes. They never showed us the images however we were basically given the idea he had tumors around his liver and it was cancer. The tech never called us to go over the results. I had to call 3 times. When I finally spoke to someone she recommended more expensive testing like a CT scan. which was like $1000. I feel I just wasted $500 on an ultrasound to get zero information and unnecessary stress. My dog had a tick infection not cancer like they lead me to believe.. read more

This review is for Dr. Kelly Moffat, a veterinarian and animal behavior specialist who works at the Mesa VCA Animal Hospital. Dr. Moffat is one of only a handful of certified animal behaviorists in the country and is absolutely amazing. Over the summer, I adopted a one year old chihuahua mix from HALO who had been badly abused. Needless to say, it was love at first sight with Rugby, the best, most loving dog out there. But, due to his sad start in life, Rugby suffered from severe separation anxiety. If I left him for, literally, 5 minutes, he would bark and howl and scratch at door and floors until his paws bled. I tried everything - books, training, home remedies - and consulted with my usual vet at the Banfield off of Mayo. Afraid for his health, I was not sure what to do. My regular vet recommended Dr. Moffat. I did her online survey and got an appointment right away. While the initial consult was pricey, Dr. Moffat was very thorough and gave us all sorts of techniques to try and went over good and bad products. We decided on a medication and training regimen. I stuck to the regimen and consulted with Dr. Moffat via phone and email. Let me tell you...the woman is a miracle worker. After about a month, my dog is now normal and can be left alone as needed. I still follow up with Dr. Moffat as needed. She literally saved my puppy, whom I love dearly. Really, Dr. Moffat is amazing. She is compassionate and realistic. I never felt like I was being judged and she really listened. She was supportive throughout the process. If I could give her a 10 star review I would. As is, I will be eternally grateful to her for helping my Rugby. read more
