VCA Airport Irvine Animal Hospital 1206 Bristol Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626

"We had adopted a 2-month old puppy 3 days ago from an unethical, grossly negligent shelter who spayed her way too young, didn't advise us of the diarrhea or health issues she faced, and failed to discover her heart murmur. We noticed her intense heart rate after little effort from playing and consistent, shallow, fast breathing in her sleep. We were told she was healthy by the shelter (and that she just had normal debris in her ears), so we had taken her to the VCA for the metallic-smelling, unabating diarrhea concerns. Two veterinarians told us her heart murmur was at a grade 4 or 5 after listening with a stethoscope and told us she had months to maybe a year to live. They were rightfully appalled by how young she was spayed, so they checked her for hip dysplasia as well. We were heartbroken at our options, which were to get a referral for a cardiologist for a specific prognosis and likely necessary surgery for more than $10k or to return her to the shelter. They were patient and understanding in allowing us the space to process our feelings and make our decision. Knowing how much we loved this puppy and were wronged by the shelter, the VCA was absolutely accommodating. They waived our fees without us asking, and that kind act of compassion during our difficult time of healing from our loss made this process just a little less devastating. When our hearts have healed enough to love another animal, we will take any pet concerns to this VCA."

"Super friendly, great with the animals. Lots of awesome suggestions for pet care. Nice discussion on benefits of pet insurance and the VCA Care Club. Prices were very affordable."

"Our animals are our top priority and Airport Irvine Animal Hospital has been absolutely wonderful through thick and thin. All the vets are top notch as well as the techs and office staff. We have been using them for 20+ years and highly recommend them to all my friends! Four years ago, I posted these comments about Airport Irvine Animal Hospital and still feel 100% that this is my best and only choice for my animals. Have great confidence in the vets and their staff. Thank you."

"Kristen B, is the best. Takes care of all my kitties needs. Super friendly staff. More importantly ask for Kristen. This place is not noisy like those cheap places that get your ears ringing and your cats infested with fleas. Well worth the visit. No time wasted. Thanks Kristen and staff for making my life and my kitties life's easier and more peaceful."

"My dogs have been patients at Airport Irvine Animal Hospital for about 10 years. I've had four dogs that have been patients here. They were always taken care of with the utmost love, patience, and meticulous care. I have had experience with at least 3 to 4 of their doctors and I've liked all of them very much. I know my animals are being well taken care of and they're always available whether it's for a well check or an emergency. I'm very grateful for Dr. Radovich and his team of great doctors and staff.
