DO NOT take your dog to this vet if they have parvo! They will do nothing for your baby! The whole treatment for a dog that has parvo is FLUIDS!!! But instead they just send you home with pills that you have to shove down your dogs throat. My dog only got worse after my visit here! I took her to another vet and they gave me so much more info about everything and sent me home with lots of fluids and Also told me to go back for a check up visit and for another shot so she doesn't throw up all of her fluids, WHICH this vet didn't even suggest!! I will never come here again. Not to mention the Dr here is so RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. But seriously, take your dog who has parvo somewhere else, because they don't send fluids here and that is what your dog NEEDS to survive this deadly virus.

Awful. Called one afternoon after already bringing my cat in a week earlier. He had developed a limp after being treated. They told me to bring her in the next day at 9:30. I was there and waited for 2 HOURS. I walked out after telling the clerk. She stated I had not made an appointment after I CALLED THE DAY BEFORE ABOUT MY SICK CAT. They overbook, my cat was so traumatized by the dozens of people that came and went with their yapping dogs and screaming kids. Care about your cat?? Do not take them to Mt Vernon Vet.

This is a very busy office. Don't be surprised if you have to wait a while. The staff are hard-working but sometimes there are a lot of chihuahuas and other dogs to take care of.Our experiences have been with cats (Dr. Shane Reno is good with cats). A few years ago we brought in a cat with a bad injury to its hind leg after it fled from a dog attack. The cat could barely walk and was in obvious pain. We thought her leg was broken. X-rays (overnight) showed a torn ACL in the cat's knee (Dr. Reno said it was a common sports injury in humans!). He offered the option of surgery for $600 -- but he said the injury might heal on its own, as the cat was still able to stand and walk. We couldn't afford the surgery. Years later, our cat is alive and well, although she can't run fast or jump very high, and she is obese.

I took my puppy with a heart murmur here for a referral to a cardiologist. The older doctor there listened to him then told me he'd be dead before a year old and I told him I still wanted the referral. He told me that there was no medication that would fix his heart. I told him that I was aware of that but there was a surgery that a cardiologist could perform. He told me again that there was no medication. I told him I was aiming for surgery. He told me that my puppy was a mutt and not worth the money for the surgery. Will never return to this place.

I can only say that there are awesome people all around, from front desk to the doctors, everyone was kind and positive, and they treated my dog really well.

While vacationing in Bakersfield, my poodle, Poochie, got sick. The closest vet was located at the Mt. Vernon Veterinary Hospital, so I took Poochie over and I talked to the staff about my situation. The receptionist was very empathetic, friendly, and was able to get Poochie in to see the vet. Dr. Reno was like the "poodle whisperer" and he lulled Poochie into such a calm state that he was able to get a diagnosis pretty quick. He was super friendly and highly knowledgeable about all kinds of animals (we had the most interesting conversation). We were out of there in no time and Poochie was back to her old self within a day. Big thanks to the team at Mt. Vernon Vet Hospital for taking care of my Poochie! I highly recommend their services!

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Dr Reno is great, he has such a great, compassionate demeanor with the animals. I feel like he really cares! I have been to other vets who seemed cold and have had bad experiences with them. I learned from my mistakes and now drive across town to someone I trust. We recently had to put our sweet boy to sleep after finding out he had feline leukemia. A few days after I got a sympathy card from them and the whole staff signed it! It was so sweet and such a nice touch, it made me cry...in a good way. As long as Dr Reno is there, I will continue to go to him. Thank you :)

Went here after a horrible experience with so many veterinarians in town. When they advertise as affordable or you have an appointment and wait hours to be seen, really for pet care? I knew about Dr. Reno because he lives in my neighborhood and I've always wanted to go to him it was just the drive.So I called and got a same day appointment for all the rounds of vaccinations. They said they would get my records from the previous veterinary office for me. Awesome except I get a call from that office telling me that it's going to be a $15 fee to fax my records to this office. Really? The reason I left that office was that the new owners raised the prices so high it didn't make sense to keep going to them.We get to our appointment and we were pleasantly surprised by how nice of an office and that the drive was not as bad as I was anticipating. Dr. Shane Reno is so caring, our dogs seemed so calm with his way with them and he was so gentle and compassionate truly with them. All of the staff were very nice. I just wish we would of came here years ago. If you were considering bringing your pets to Dr. Reno and this office I highly recommend you do for all the reasons I gave. Cleanliness, nice staff and an awesome Veterinarian who is affordable. Nice large parking lot. Don't let the part of town discourage you from bringing your pets here because this Veterinarian is the best!!!

My family has brought all of their dogs, cats and horses to Drs. Lynn and Shane Reno for as long as I can remember. They've been there for us through puppy vaccinations, colicky horses, dog/chocolate incidents, and even those unfortunate times when furry family members pass on. They explain everything and couldn't be more compassionate toward the pets and families they take care of. Their staff is caring and conscientious. They'll even help get nervous dogs out of the car. Needless to say, they'll be taking care of our pets for a long time to come.

DO NOT take your dog to this vet if they have parvo! They will do nothing for your baby! The whole treatment for a dog that has parvo is FLUIDS!!! But instead they just send you home with pills that you have to shove down your dogs throat. My dog only got worse after my visit here! I took her to another vet and they gave me so much more info about everything and sent me home with lots of fluids and Also told me to go back for a check up visit and for another shot so she doesn't throw up all of her fluids, WHICH this vet didn't even suggest!! I will never come here again. Not to mention the Dr here is so RUDE and UNPROFESSIONAL. But seriously, take your dog who has parvo somewhere else, because they don't send fluids here and that is what your dog NEEDS to survive this deadly virus.

Utterly useless. Their veterinarians take vacations 50% of the time. When I took my dog in they couldn't do anything because the veterinarian wasn't there until January.

Awful. Called one afternoon after already bringing my cat in a week earlier. He had developed a limp after being treated. They told me to bring her in the next day at 9:30. I was there and waited for 2 HOURS. I walked out after telling the clerk. She stated I had not made an appointment after I CALLED THE DAY BEFORE ABOUT MY SICK CAT. They overbook, my cat was so traumatized by the dozens of people that came and went with their yapping dogs and screaming kids. Care about your cat?? Do not take them to Mt Vernon Vet.

4 stars for Dr Reno and his service. However, they are never on time with keeping appointments. I've waited over 45 min multiple times to see the vet even with an appointment. Desk staff could use some customer service skills, they don't seem like pet or people people.

This is a very busy office. Don't be surprised if you have to wait a while. The staff are hard-working but sometimes there are a lot of chihuahuas and other dogs to take care of.Our experiences have been with cats (Dr. Shane Reno is good with cats). A few years ago we brought in a cat with a bad injury to its hind leg after it fled from a dog attack. The cat could barely walk and was in obvious pain. We thought her leg was broken. X-rays (overnight) showed a torn ACL in the cat's knee (Dr. Reno said it was a common sports injury in humans!). He offered the option of surgery for $600 -- but he said the injury might heal on its own, as the cat was still able to stand and walk. We couldn't afford the surgery. Years later, our cat is alive and well, although she can't run fast or jump very high, and she is obese.

I took my puppy with a heart murmur here for a referral to a cardiologist. The older doctor there listened to him then told me he'd be dead before a year old and I told him I still wanted the referral. He told me that there was no medication that would fix his heart. I told him that I was aware of that but there was a surgery that a cardiologist could perform. He told me again that there was no medication. I told him I was aiming for surgery. He told me that my puppy was a mutt and not worth the money for the surgery. Will never return to this place.

Dr Shane Reno is a excellent Dr he understands that your pets are your family and takes excellent care of them. I recently had to make the heart wrenching decision to put my dogs to sleep 2 in one year. A few days later we relieved a card with everyone in the office signed and Dr Reno. Thank you to everyone in your facility.

Northwood Veterinary Hospital were great. We had a foster dog for a few months and we took her there for a skin rash. They were nice and I would use them once we get our permanent dog. The staff is nice. The price is good. There was not a big problem getting in and we didn't have to wait a long time to see them.

My dog had leg amputation at Mt Vernon Veterinary Hospital 2 months ago. I can only say that there are awesome people all around, from front desk to the doctors, everyone was kind and positive, and they treated my dog really well. The surgery was successful, my dog is fine now and I couldn't have survived this without them. Thank you Dr. Reno and I recommended this hospital to any animal owner. This is a friendly place for animals and they are experts in the field.

While vacationing in Bakersfield, my poodle, Poochie, got sick. The closest vet was located at the Mt. Vernon Veterinary Hospital, so I took Poochie over and I talked to the staff about my situation. The receptionist was very empathetic, friendly, and was able to get Poochie in to see the vet. Dr. Reno was like the "poodle whisperer" and he lulled Poochie into such a calm state that he was able to get a diagnosis pretty quick. He was super friendly and highly knowledgeable about all kinds of animals (we had the most interesting conversation). We were out of there in no time and Poochie was back to her old self within a day. Big thanks to the team at Mt. Vernon Vet Hospital for taking care of my Poochie! I highly recommend their services!

We were visiting friends in the area when our senior shihtzu got sick. Our friends recommended this vet hospital and so glad they did. They were able to help our poor guy and made us feel like he was in very good hands. It was a stressful time and they put our fears to rest. So thankful they were there to help us when we needed it as we love our animals like our own kids.

Walked in and dutifully waited for the people in front to finish their conversation with staff member. After fifteen minutes, they left. I figured great now I can finally be acknowledged. Nope, the employee starts helping others already in the waiting room. There was no, "I'll be right with you" or "this will take a moment" nothing. Didn't even look at me. I walked out.

Came here for years, told I could bring in my litters stool sample and pay when I came back for their app to get results and treatment. Go down there to be told no. She clearly told me it was fine. I didn't bring my purse so I wasted my time and friends gas. I explained that I've been going for seven years and have an appointment for shots and results so not sure what the big deal was or why They lied. I cancelled my appointment and won't be back. Horrible customer service

I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Dr Reno is great, he has such a great, compassionate demeanor with the animals. I feel like he really cares! I have been to other vets who seemed cold and have had bad experiences with them. I learned from my mistakes and now drive across town to someone I trust. We recently had to put our sweet boy to sleep after finding out he had feline leukemia. A few days after I got a sympathy card from them and the whole staff signed it! It was so sweet and such a nice touch, it made me cry...in a good way. As long as Dr Reno is there, I will continue to go to him. Thank you :)

Went here after a horrible experience with so many veterinarians in town. When they advertise as affordable or you have an appointment and wait hours to be seen, really for pet care? I knew about Dr. Reno because he lives in my neighborhood and I've always wanted to go to him it was just the drive.So I called and got a same day appointment for all the rounds of vaccinations. They said they would get my records from the previous veterinary office for me. Awesome except I get a call from that office telling me that it's going to be a $15 fee to fax my records to this office. Really? The reason I left that office was that the new owners raised the prices so high it didn't make sense to keep going to them.We get to our appointment and we were pleasantly surprised by how nice of an office and that the drive was not as bad as I was anticipating. Dr. Shane Reno is so caring, our dogs seemed so calm with his way with them and he was so gentle and compassionate truly with them. All of the staff were very nice. I just wish we would of came here years ago. If you were considering bringing your pets to Dr. Reno and this office I highly recommend you do for all the reasons I gave. Cleanliness, nice staff and an awesome Veterinarian who is affordable. Nice large parking lot. Don't let the part of town discourage you from bringing your pets here because this Veterinarian is the best!!!

My family has brought all of their dogs, cats and horses to Drs. Lynn and Shane Reno for as long as I can remember. They've been there for us through puppy vaccinations, colicky horses, dog/chocolate incidents, and even those unfortunate times when furry family members pass on. They explain everything and couldn't be more compassionate toward the pets and families they take care of. Their staff is caring and conscientious. They'll even help get nervous dogs out of the car. Needless to say, they'll be taking care of our pets for a long time to come.
