Steer clear of this self proclaimed "specialist" as he drained me for thousands and months of seeing one specialist after the next what the free vet at Stanton Animal diagnosed within 30 seconds. Dr Kavanaugh immediately stated it was a slipped disk that caused my Frenchie to lose use of his back legs. When I approached Kraemer all he would say is "you can't sue me, I don't own this practice, my daughter does.". Never once did the thought occur to me, I only cared about my boy. Unfortunately, this specialist did nothing and I could not come up with the 5k to get an MRI, he got me all of my savings in his "search for a diagnosis." Stay away please, if you love your dog you will, don't learn the hard way. read more

Dr. Kramer is Amazing! He's been an angel to my little Rebel. It's difficult to find a vet that specializes in bulldogs. With him it's a passion. Love him read more

I've been waiting a couple of weeks to post this review but feel as though I have to sooner rather then later in case the same thing happens to another bully lover. First of all I have been bringing my bulky here since she was a puppy.... not sure if it's the change in staff or what but since my first visit 4 years ago this place has gone pretty much downhill and all about money. My dog has been really sick lately and I have left multiple messages at Dr. Kreamers office to set up an appt. when I finally got a hold of someone (not a call back) I let Sarah know how upset I was because my bully had gotten progressively worse by the time I had initially left a message. I was told to bring her in and that she had an ear infection and maybe an allergy. So I spent about $900 (probably would have been less if I got a call back 2 weeks prior)..... very next evening my dog became very weak and shaky. Dr. Kreamers office was now close. I took her to a 24 animal hospital in Pasadena (that doesn't specialize in bulldogs) and after they listened to her breathing, they performed an X-ray and discovered she had pneumonia...she stayed there for 3 days and is doing much better. We may have spent more money at the 24 hr hospital because of the overnight stays, but have now switched to their clinic regularly. Dr. Kreamer and his team should have caught this and listened to her chest the day before when they seen her but because they added her that day (because of my complaint of no call back) and rushed her appt. my baby could have died. Seriously, don't go to a place just because they say they specialize in that breed. Try other avenues. This new clinic actually called us to make sure she followed up a week later and still found she needed more treatment after another X-ray just to be on the safe side. Excellent staff and I can speak to a live person 24 hrs.... If you have been a longtime client of Dr. kreamer and noticed a change in staff or service, you are not alone. Find another vet for your bully! *side note: I have since emailed to let them know how sick she became and still no response. Sadly, not surprised but happy we found a new vet. Good luck bully lovers read more

This review is long overdue. Dr. Kramer helped our bully so much with his skin. Alot of the products he sells are his own but they work! He knows what triggers most bullies and has so much experience it's insane. Our crazy itchy bulldog was so peaceful after seeing Dr. Kraemer. It's been awhile since we have taken him in but our dog will only be returning to Vet4Bulldog. read more

I'm giving a two so far. About a week ago I took my English Bulldog in for a tail amputation and eye surgery. I paid about 3000. It was expensive but seemed like the doctor was good, and he talked to me by phone to explain everything. The problem is post op. I talked to a nurse, not the vet who did the operation. She did not provide clear information about care and what to do if there were problems, other than to go to my nearest animal hospital. No one followed up until three days later when an assistant called me. . I noted that things were okay but I was concerned about my dog not pooping. She said keep an eye on it and she would make sure to follow up and call me the next day. She did not. I have the feeling that this place is like the others: a factory for making money. They seem to rush everything and limit contact with the vet and assistants. It's like they are on a clock and counting time and money. I didn't get a sense of any concern about my dog after serious surgery. What does it take to make a follow up call, especially when you promise to do do? They didn't seem worried about the outcome of their care. That's a red flag. read more

I wanted to write this review with kindness and appreciation, Our tri blu rare bulldog 3 months ago started losing his hair all over and developed these round spots which would be completely void of hair, looked like a fungus of some sort..after 2 grand finally the vet started to examine and treat for food allergies, but SOCRATES had lost all of his flank and back hair and then started to develop pus bumps...now I'm getting pretty bothered, because now I losing confidence in the vet, he ran a blood test and scraping and his diagnosis was resistant staph infection, sever...after 3 months of this poor animal suffering with alien things in his ears, even the vet said it was something he hadn't seen...lol... a smelly odor and intense itchiness... I have scrolled at least a hundred article's and a few hundred pictures to help identify what was going on with him..I tried a chlorine shampoo and a chlorine bath..both were very strong and I ended up dying my clothes...I came across Across Dr kraemers site vet4 bulldogs and immediately purchased a yeast kit including a yeasty specific shampoo, dry shampoo , vitamins and yeast dog ear wash and rinse..I have been bathing him 1 x a day for now 2 full week...I AM AMAZED skin is healing, hair now is growing back and he seems to be less itchy..I will continue to buy this product and if you have a yeast dog I strongly suggest!!!! read more

See all

The only place we trust to care for our boy Charlie. Dr. Kraemer knows bully breeds inside & out. The office staff is also so caring.

Disappointed with the way Dr. Yoo handled the care with my dog. I brought my dog in to see why he was breathing and choking along with other simple things. I got in at 10:15 and drove from over an hour away. They came in and checked on Romeo I brought x rays from last month and all of his medical records. I also brought a letter from another vet going into detail about Romeo being compact, exciting very easily and clenching his mouth when they tried to look into it. Long story longer they said they would do a standard procedure called a Barium swallow. Fast forward to 6 pm (I have been waiting out here all day) where I'm told that my dog is incubated and has to be transported to a emergency vet because they are closing, it's at a horrible time because the weekend is coming up, and he can't breathe on his own!!! He took me to the place and then left me hanging. Didn't bring medical records or anything!!! If you didn't feel comfortable or know about French bulldogs why did you touch him!???? My dog is now in a hospital with a tracheotomy and aspiration pneumonia because of you ! The vet bill is outrageous 6 thousand and counting. This was not supposed to happen. You were so insensitive and worried about the weekend and not what you did to my dog. You made me pay 900 dollars for you to hurt my dog not help him! This is not okay. And I will never refer anyone to you.! I'm heartbroken!!! read more

We took our chronically ill, 3-year old French Bulldog to Vet4Bulldog and our first visit with with Dr. Yoo. After about an hour and reviewing his past medical history and previous surgeries we were advised to schedule a Soft Palate Resection surgery - the second for him as he had one done a couple years prior by another vet. We left feeling great about the decision to try this again and felt confident that the doctors at Vet4Bulldog were experts in the breed. We scheduled the operation for a couple weeks later and drove back down from LA to drop him off - we were told it was a fairly quick, outpatient procedure and that "Dr. Kraemer does them everyday." A couple hours later we received a call that our dog didn't make it. We were shocked and upset - this was by far the worst news a loving dog owner could receive when leaving your dog in the care of a professional. Luckily we had stayed near the area and we immediately drove over to the office where we were told to wait in the waiting area for the doctor for several minutes. Here's where the real lack of professionalism began...Dr. Yoo (the doctor we had seen during our first visit and had insisted this surgery would help his problems) could barely look us in the eye. When we finally got to see Dr. Kraemer he made it a point to say "the surgery was successful and the dog was breathing better already"...before he died of an 'unknown event' in recovery that is. I can imagine any dog owner would feel as confused by this response as we did. How can a doctor deem a procedure successful if the patient doesn't live? What is the point of telling us that? The only thing it sounded like to us was his way of saying that the death was not his fault. We were told that while the nurses were making their rounds and the dog was in recovery IN A CAGE (only a mere 15 mins after the surgery had ended) when they found him not breathing. Never once did any of these nurses approach us with their condolences or explanation. Also, there was no mention of whether they attempted to revive him. I am fully aware of the risks of surgery - especially for bulldog breeds and I'm leaving this comment to share the unpleasant experience, lack of accountability and professionalism in the wake of a tragedy. We are now left to pick up the pieces of our life without our baby with not so much as a card or heartfelt note for our loss. read more

Have been going to Dr. Kraemer now with our Loving Bulldog Molly for about 3 years. I'm so happy he has his own practice now. I would not take Molly to any other Veterinarian. He and his staff are Professional, caring, and I really trust them in taking care of our Family member. Bulldogs are a unique breed that require a staff that understands their special needs, and they do this extremely well. I would trust Dr. Kraemer with any type of Pet I have, or may get in the future. read more

We have 2 bulldog babies. Dr. Kraemer is the best vet in California. We moved to San Francisco 2 years ago. And we have tried vets all over. No one can compare to Dr. Kraemer and his staff. It is worth the 8 hour drive and more! Best vet Best products Best facility Best pricing read more

I've been here a handful of times and I've received poor communication and average customer service. They are extremely expensive and raise prices without notice. I came back a few more times because I thought my poor experiences were just outliers but instead it seemed to be the norm. read more

I've been taking my Bulldog here for over a year and just discovered this place is a rip off. Dr Kramer has his own line of shampoos and products for bulldogs which are available at their office and online. My last visit they recommended that I use one of his shampoos on my dog which they charged me $49 for. After going on their website I see they have the EXACT shampoo size and everything listed for sale for just $24!! I called in thinking I was just over charged but was told their office pricing is different and that they tell customers it's better to purchase online. I was NEVER told that. What a scam to charge your customers double the price after they already paid $80 just for an office visit to see you. I feel your in person customers should be treated better. They didn't offer to do anything for me just the price is what it is. I have since changed Vets and am going to a different bulldog specialist, luckily Dr. Kreamer isn't the only bulldog vet. I Will never be back at this office ever. Very greedy and untrustworthy and should be avoided as they clearly don't care about their customers just the $ going into their pockets. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS PRACTiCE. Dr Kraemer will try and get every penny out of you as possible. I am a disabled person with a french bulldog who over a week became almost fully paralyzed in his back legs. Knowing I only had a thousand to spend, kraemer wasted 650 dollars in xrays which proved nothing and sent him home with a coritsone shot. I was forced to leave the exam room after ten minutes and waited almost two hours as they were going to clean it and then Kraemer came out and talked to me with more I don't knows and that he would send me the results of the xrays. Four minutes yet astronomical bill. I begged for help as i was confused, broke, and terrfied for my dog, Kraemer chose to lie and say he was not the owner nor could hee authorize any type of finanical help just to avoid having to help the most loving and beautiful animal you have ever met. Oogie's fate is still in the balance as I am trying to find a compassionate neurologist and applying for help with disabled services but please don't let him do this to anymore people! read more

THEE BEST vet you will find for bulldog breeds. Dr. Kraemer is so kind, patient, thorough, and knowledgeable. His staff is super sweet and extra caring! I have a french bulldog puppy and I've been to other vets that weren't able to answer certain questions about the breed or pinpoint problems. Dr. Kraemer blew me away. He was able to answer my questions without me having to ask and by just LOOKING at my pup for some things. He made sure I was conformable with all treatments and medications, offering me alternatives if I wasn't sure about something. I recommend Vet4Bulldog to any pet owner looking for a vet and staff who truly care about your pup and the work they are doing. read more

I've been bringing my English bulldog Charly here since he was a puppy. Dr. K is super knowledgeable and professional. His staff is always so friendly and patient to answer any questions I may have! I wouldn't take Charly anywhere else read more

Dr. Kraemer and his staff are beyond fantastic. Our sweet Frenchie Daisy had some GI problems when she was very young. We tried everything and could not find a solution. We found Dr. Kraemer and he was able to get us on the right track within a matter of weeks. We are so thankful for his services and take our girl there for all of her health needs. read more

There is nobody better!!! I have been to Dr. Butchko in Riverside for years with my last bulldog. I always saw the OG papa Butchko. I was totally unimpressed with the rest of the place. My two bulldogs that I've had since I lost my first one have been seen by Dr. Kraemer. He did soft palate revisions on both my bullies as well as tonsils. One of mine also had her nares widened. All procedures were smooth without any complications! Always professional, reasonable prices! I wouldn't trust my bullies to anyone else! read more

Best Veterinary ever!!! My bulldog and I love coming here. The staff is amazing and Dr. Kramer is awesome. He genuinely cares about animals especially the bully breed. He takes the time to see what the root cause of any issue the dog may have instead of piling up a bunch of medication on your baby Dr.Kramer also has a skin care and supplement line for dogs that I have been using for years and has been so helpful. read more

Everyone was extremely friendly. Dr Kramer is very thorough, explains things and takes his time with you. So lucky to have found an awesome vet! I will feel good going on vacation knowing they are in good hands when we board them. Great vet, great staff, awesome products and they go above and beyond for customer service! Highly recommend! read more

Dr.Kraemer is very knowledgeable, the staff is very nice and friendly, I drive from San Fernando Valley for my bulldog to be seen, He's an amazing vet, has amazing products, Highly Recomend!!!!! Prices are very reasonable too!!!!!! read more

We took our bulldog in for an evaluation of her breathing. She also had an eye ulcer which was under treatment by our vet but not healing well. Dr Kramer did a procedure which helped clear up the ulcer almost immediately. Unfortunately, the ectopic cilia grew back and we took her to our local eye Dr. for a more permanent fix. Dr Kramer saved us time and money by identifying the problem, saved our dog pain by clearing up the ulcer. We live 3 hours north of his office or would have returned to him for a permanent fix. He is a great bulldog vet. read more

We met Dr. Kraemer when he was at his previous Santa Ana location 1 1/2 yrs ago. At that time he performed a flawless eye surgery on our English Bully, Alabama. I knew from that experience that Dr. K was the real deal; he expressed genuine concern for Alabama's health and the price was about what I expected (I'm cheap). When Alabama became ill a few weeks back we took her back to Dr. K at the new facility which is nicer and more convenient. Dr. K diagnosed the issue quickly, affordably, and with the utmost concern for Alabama and us. We will continue to let him care for our pets, we won't go anywhere else. read more

We are SO very grateful to Dr. Kraemer and his terrific staff at VET4BULLDOG in Orange. We literally were watching our 11 year old Bulldog (KID) dwindling away ! we were desperate, and we sought help with 2 prior vets, which amounted to large expense and NO closer to a diagnosis or resolution. We sought help and discovered Dr. Kraemer through some friends and So. California Bulldog rescue. they are a God Send - they did an absolutely incredible job at pin pointing the problem(s) that we thought were far beyond help (Heart issues, arthritis) but in a matter of days, our big guy is up and running and enjoying yogurt, chicken, and an occasional Ritz cracker or Mickey D fries ( NOT recommended of course) We can't thank them enough for this second chance we have with FRED ..... Our dogs remind us that life is short, we must enjoy, and have a great team behind you to carry on ...... VET4BULLDOG = 100 = LEGIT read more

Dr. Kraemer is THE BEST! I love that he takes appointments, there's no waiting around for hours (my previous vet didn't take appointments) The staff is very caring and sweet. They always follow up with a phone call to see how my 2 year old Bulldog is doing. King Bruno is part of our family and I wouldn't trust any doctor with him. (Ive had a horrible experience with Banfield) Since meeting Dr. Kraemer and his staff, he has always shown love and care for Bruno. Bruno has had allergies since he was a puppy, constant visits at the previous vet spending over $200 each time for medication. Since I started taking him to Dr. Kraemer he immediately got better. Dr. Kraemer doenst give tons of antibiotics, x-rays, blood work, etc.. He prescribed an anti-fungul for his skin and since using it his allergies have improved 100%. I'm so thankful I found Dr. Kraemer. It's a far drive, but very well worth it. There's also an enclosed play area in the back of the office for our bulldogs to play. read more

We'd been taking our bulldog, Winnie, to a local vet for a couple years but they struggled with ear and tail issues. I found Dr Kraemar through the bulldog rescue and decided to make the drive from south county. It was well worth it. The staff is very friendly and Dr Kraemar know bulldogs! read more

I took my bulldog this morning to Dr. Kraemer office. I was very impressed with him and his staff. They are caring and professional you can see that they truly care about your pets health. After so many years looking to find the perfect place to trust my baby medical care. THANK YOU Dr. Kraemer and staff read more

Dr. Kraemer is the absolute BEST! I would trust him with any animal, of course bulldogs but he has also helped my pitbull through a few skin issues she had. He is very reasonable and you can tell that he really cares and loves all animals that are in his care. He listens to what you have to say and helps guide you in the right direction. Highly recommend him! read more
