This system caters to dynamic homes with active pets while supporting adaptable schedules throughout California. The initial phase of appointments involves examining daily practices including exercise routines, dietary habits, outdoor activities, and any recent modifications. Medical examinations involve detailed inspections of eyes ears mouth abdomen skin and both gait and mobility functions.

Took my two dogs in for dentals and immunizations. One did fine. The other died 2 days later. Dr. Cooke, upon examination, said she had a heart murmur. He said he wasn’t sure if it was due to her being nervous, her breed, age, ect. I left a message on Sunday after she died to ask him to call me on Monday which Dr. Cooke did and spent time with me trying to figure out what happened. He was very kind and tried to put me at ease as I was blaming myself for her death.
The problem begins on Tuesday. I, being a RN, had other medical questions I wanted to ask him. Such as, was there any blood work done, ekg prior to surgery or if he thought she might have aspirated. I called and spoke to Whitney, who has at times had an attitude, and told her my concerns as I am devastated at the loss of my little dog and the fact that she appeared fine prior to having her dental and vaccines. Whitney said she would have him call me after his surgeries. I never heard from Dr. Cooke and went to his office at 245pm. Whitney barely looked up and when she finally did I asked if Dr. Cooke was done with surgery. She said yes but he was seeing patients. This woman showed no compassion whatsoever. She said he would call me at around 4. Well it’s now around 7pm and I never heard from anyone. I left a message stating my feelings and disappointment on the office answering machine. This experience was tragic for me and I continue to mourn the loss of my precious little girl. I would never show this lack of compassion to one of my patients or their families.

My cat wasn't feeling too well and I hear from quite a few people that Cooke was the best Vet for cats. Very friendly office staff, Dr. know his stuff, not to mention he had great recommendation for food based on my cat's medical history and health. Plus I was greeted by a cat sitting on the desk as I walked in. If you're not a fan of cats, this may not be the best place for you.

Dr Cooke has been nothing but helpful and great with my dog. Love that they have a bunch of cats in the waiting room, I assumed they were rescue cats..which is great! They are affordable, friendly and fast. I was referred by a friend whose family has been taking their pets there for years. Thanks Dr Cooke!

I've been taking my dogs to this vet for as long as I can remember. Each time I have to take my dogs I know they'll be well taken care of by a very loving and knowledgeable staff. All of the staff members treat you and your pet(s) as if you both were family and they've known you forever. I've never felt uncomfortable in the office.
Dr Cooke is very thorough and a definite animal lover. If you have any questions or concerns he'll take the time and answer and explain until you are comfortable. I will without a doubt continue to take my dogs to this vet.

I picked this place because it was extremely affordable & the bonus was that the staff & vet was enormously caring & comforting. I had the unfortunate life event of needing to put down my pit bull due to her having cancer. The vet explained what was wrong with my dog which was comforting to better understand what she was going through & helped my heart to know that I was doing what was best for my dog even though it was painful for me. They gave me the time I needed to say my goodbyes & cry over the loss of my friend. The whole procedure was painless for her & dignified. I was allowed to take my dog home with me & she is now barried in my back yard with a grave stone & everything. I would recomend Cooke's Veterinary Hospital to anyone!
