VCA California Oaks Animal Hospital

"Very good vet. Got a same day appointment very helpful. Took care of my fur baby"

"I had a pretty bad experience here. I’m a first time cat owner and I was expecting a bit more guidance. I paid for a $100 exam, which consisted of a Vet (I believe, she barely introduced herself or said much) who took two mins weighing my kitten and listening to his heartbeat. Said he was fine and walked out. Not satisfied with the service, I took him to another vet in Lake Elsinore, who did a thorough exam and actually took the time to answer my questions and gave me guidance. Even though this lesson cost me $100, I at least know not to come back here."

"I was trepid about the clinic at first because it was free to go to the first visit with a voucher from the shelter. They were really great and showed care and compassion for my pup. Cost was reasonable compared to other vets, and I feel safe bringing my animals here. 9nly reason for 4 stars and not 5 is they push certain flea meds and other drugs without sharing alternatives or potential side effects. My dog ended up having adverse reactions to the flea and tick meds, which I mentioned but they did t note it on his record. I recommend doing research on anything before agreeing to any drugs or topicals, especially if you value holistic care. Big pharma has its hand in vet medicine, which is normal for any medical practice. Although I appreciate the way the staff shows care and concern for the animals wellbeing. I also have saved a lot using the VCA monthly plan and best of all is that my dogs loves going here! It's like a treat for him and all the attention he gets. He leaves happy as a lark."

"I had to bring in my 16 year old cat, Sassy, after getting sick suddenly. The doctor carefully worded what was happening to her while minding my feelings because it wasn’t good news. I ended up having to make the decision to help her reach peace. The doctors and staff knew I was very heart broken and emotional and helped me through the whole process and giving me space to spend some last moments with my baby. After everything was over the doctor even walked me to the front door making sure I was okay. After a couple of emotional weeks, the whole staff wrote and sent me a card on how Sassy will be missed! I think this is the most caring vet I have ever been to! Thank you all so much for everything you helped me through!"

"10/10 recommend!! I’ve never had such a thorough, thoughtful experience at the vet. They were 100% focused on us, repeated and reviewed information as needed, and did as much as they could for our visit with us and our dogs in the same room. When they did have to take our pets out of the room to give them shots, they sent a photo and each one seemed like they were perfectly happy. I can’t say enough about the experience, from getting a coupon online to the after visit follow up. Thank you!!!"
