Arcata Animal Hospital

"Leaving a comment due to the exceptional service we received. All the way from the person who answered our phone call to the caring tech Dori and the wonderful Veterinarian Bartlett. They made our experience a positive & successful one."

"Kind, compassionate, reasonably-priced care. I have two reactive dogs, and Dr. Dossett sees them both. I called around to all of the vets in Arcata before I moved to the area. My Doberman is people reactive and will bite, plus he has complicated health issues which sometimes require frequent visits. AAH exam fee is $80, but a recheck is much cheaper which definitely eased my mind since there have been times we have had 3 appointments a month. AAH is a fear-free facility, and I appreciate the care that they show with their fearful and reactive clients. I want to specifically mention their team of vet techs who have been incredible. Sarah has sedated my Doberman twice. Even though he is muzzled, I recognize that sedating an animal who is actively trying to bite you is a stressful experience. She has been calm and always treated my pet with so much love and respect. Get established with this practice right away and they will always get you in when your pet needs to be seen. The combination of their hours, emergency vet fees, and scheduling ability made this an easy choice for me and my special needs dog. Some of the reviews mention not having accurate cost break down. I haven’t found that to be true at all. Vet care is unfortunately incredibly expensive, but I don’t think that is an issue with this practice in particular."

"They provide excellent care for our furry pets. The staff is amiable and takes the time to thoroughly explain any concerns. Like most veterinary clinics, the cost of care is quite high, so I usually shop around for the flea medication they recommend."

"Compassionate, friendly staff at desk... Professional, knowledgeable staff in the exam room.... Prices at best , are basic as anywhere else..$$ Veterinarian prices are expensive unless you can afford pet insurance.. The clinic is clean , not over crowed , plenty of parking space.. Although my pet is a new patient..so far I truly appreciate and trust this pet clinic.."

"They have been caring for my cats for 15 years. Always caring and yet professional. Recently one of my cats became very ill and it turned out to be cancer. They did their best to help him for another few weeks. The time came for the last decision. The depth of the sadness they imparted was very comforting and made the crossing as easy as possible."
