Peninsula Animal Referral Center

"The staff here are AMAZING!! So kind and empathetic. I don’t know why the reviews aren’t better. You know the pricing is always higher because it’s an emergency vet, but to me the pricing is fair and much less than I expected. I hope you never have an emergency with your fur baby, but if you do, the staff here are very kind"

"Family took dog in on Saturday with swollen leg, trouble breathing, and no signs of scratches/bite/infection/redness on the swollen leg. Prescribed pain meds and sent them home. Took her back Thursday with abdomen swollen along with swollen leg. Abdomen was filled with pee. Why weren’t tests done on Saturday? Isn’t a swollen leg, if no other injuries are present, a sign of kidney/liver/heart failure? Ridiculous and will not be back here. As if on Saturday they were too busy to properly treat. RIP Sophie."

"If I could rate this a negative 10 I would. Take you pet here if you hate them. I have a 8 week old puppy who my daughter was lied to and told she was 8 weeks when she got her4 weeks ago. So she didn’t spend enough time with mom to nurse as long as she should have. That’s no fault of anyone involved in this. My daughter is 18 and so is the child who gave her the dog. We ended up here after our puppy woke up with her head completely swollen on thanksgiving morning. I called many clinics and hospital and they were the only answer we got. They printed a picture and told me she had puppy strangles s as of they gave her IV fluids and some food. The food I believe because I saw the can and they gave us the remainder. Now the treatment for strangles is steroids and antibiotics for lesions. Well they gave us the prescription for steroids but wouldn’t give antibiotics because the no bumps were present( we found them on her paws when we got home upon looking for them they were very evident). When I called back the exact same day to get the prescription I was told she has to come in after have left there literal hours ago for a new visit. I told them no I paid for treatment already you didn’t follow threw on fully treating as you were paid to do. Then I asked if there was something liquid I could give my puppy to help kee her nutrition up while she’s sick because of no appetite and vomiting there response was hospitalization. Also I forgot to mention they gave me a bill for treatment with two separate prices and asked which one did I want. Like what the heck!!!! I want you to treat her then tell me the price. The bill was $100 difference for “high end care” but the vet nor her assistant could explain or answer me on what high end care meant. To say the least of what could be said these people hate animals"

"Id like to Thank the whole staff for helping my mother and I through this tough time. Went here on the 6th of September cause my moms dog was acting very odd not eating and not using the bathroom. Turned out she was very ill and in a lot of pain. She was too old for surgery 14yrs old and no meds would help. Sadly we had to put her to sleep that night and were heartbroken. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the let us take all the time we needed to say our goodbyes to Angyl. Im thankful that they helped us through this hard time and ensured us that Angyl was in no more pain. We got a sweet card in the mail from them signed by all the staff which made us cry. It was very thoughtful of them. Now were waiting for a call to pick up her ashes"

"Monday, I had to make the hardest decision and put my sweet girl down. Not only did i call eight vet offices before them (due to my location) and was turned away. When i called, they told me to head that way, when i arrived they took her back immediately and treated me with respect while i was a ball of emotions, unfortunately my sweet girl was 17 years old and not in the best health. They gave me as much time as i needed to say my goodbyes. I received the sweetest card from them a few days after but hands down the best experience for such a hard time. Super caring and allowed my girl not to be in pain anymore. Thank you so much! (Pictures below-the card where they wrote very thoughtful things, the paw print of my girl, and of course a photo of my girl)"
