Hesperia Animal Hospital located on 9540 "I" Ave. is truly a one stop animal care center for small animals. Besides providing veterinary services, the hospital has a pet shop, grooming facility, pet boarding, and condos for dogs and cats.
Hesperia animal hospital moved to this new location in January 1995. The two story building is an architectural delight, beautiful and spacious. The waiting area is open extremely, extremely roomy, which helps avoid unfriendly confrontation between some pets. There are at least two friendly receptionists at the counter to help clients. While waiting, pet owners can view educational video programs, browse through cat and dog magazines, weigh their dogs on a conveniently located and easy to read scale, or visit the pet shop. Skylights, high ceilings, and plants add to the scenic atmosphere of the waiting lobby.
Dr. Shafeeq Ahmed, the owner, originally from India, came to the United States to study veterinary medicine. He has been practicing in Hesperia for the last 14 years. Dr. Ahmed and his efficient staff provide top quality veterinary services for dogs and cats.
Hesperia Animal Hospital is a self-sufficient animal care center, which offers complete dentistry and dental X-rays, a full lab, treatment areas, latest X-ray equipment, and a large surgery room, which is fitted with the latest and most advanced surgical equipment. The hospital is in the process of obtaining CT Scan. The exhaust system in the work areas keeps the air clean, safe, and odor free. A centrally placed glass walled intensive care sector allows the doctor and staff to keep an eye on severely ill or recuperating pets.
There are 4 spacious, clean and odor free exam rooms. Recuperating pets are boarded in rooms, dog runs, or cat kennels. The boarding areas have been designed to maintain a high level of hygiene. Pets suffering from communicable diseases like PARVO are housed in the contagious ward.
The pet shop is located next to the waiting lobby. Pet lovers can purchase almost anything that a pet may need. Books on various cat and dog breeds, instructions on dog training, leashes, shampoos, toothpaste and brush, grooming aids, and of course top quality food supplies designed to fit the special dietary requirements of your cat or dog are all sold in the pet shop.
The boarding and grooming facilities are lodged on the second floor. There are 40 dog runs, varying in size to provide a comfortable home for a Chihuahua or a big St. Bernard. The cat condos are completely separate from the dog runs. The deluxe cat condos can house more than one cat and has a window which offers a view of the outside world. The boarding section has high ceilings, skylights, and plants, which help avoid the cramped atmosphere of most animal boarding places. All dogs are taken out for a walk at least twice a day. There is also a treadmill (specially equipped with safety features) for indoor exercises. Pet owners can view the boarding area through a glass wall.
At lease two attendants are constantly watching, cleaning, feeding, and exercising the boarding pets. Access to the second floor boarding facility is provided with two staircases and an elevator.
The hospital provides quality grooming services. We have experienced and qualified groomers in the hospital. While you are here, you can meet the groomer and setup an appointment.
All rooms including boarding areas are fitted with video monitors for surveillance, thus helping the staff to keep a constant watch on all pets. The parking lot is also monitored for the safety of clients.

I have been taking my pets to Hesperia Animal Hospital since 1991. It used to be a good place when Dr Ahmed was the primary doctor, but it is HORRIBLE now! After spending over $1,600., Dr Balesteros still didn’ t know anything other than my cat had some sort of an infection & anemia. Even so, he gave me antibiotic bills that he warned me could permanently damage my cats throat if they weren’t “washed down” completely. He said to wait back out front for my cat to be brought out to me. I waited for at least half an hour while he saw several people who walked in to ask questions before finishing my paperwork and bringing my cat out. I finally left at 6pm. Also, the doctor sniffles constantly like he has a cold and doesn’t wear a mask. Ugh! The front desk staff are all very pleasant and professional. They kept checking to see about bringing my cat to me. It’s a shame they have to work with such disorganization.

We Love Dr Ahmed!
Dr A walked us through multiple issues with our furry kids (pets).
The most server being the euthanasia of our beloved sweet Abbie Rose.
He was there for her 1st vaccines, and her ovariohysterectomy.
Dr Ahmed, and his staff were very professional yet loving and compassionate.
Our last hour with Abbie Rose, Dr brought in a lite candle, dimmed the lights and allowed us to stay as long as we needed to say our last words and hugs with her. He then held her with us till she took her last breath.
Dr Ahmed was genuinely sympathetic, and understood our feeling
on that day.
Lord Jesus, Bless this doctor with all he does with our beloved pets.
Thank you Dr Ahmed and your staff.

I like the fact that all the staff is very friendly and helpful but what I like the most is Dr Ahmed. He is a very caring and professional Vet. He is very conscientious of what his patients are going through with their pets and will not take advantage with outrageous fees. I highly recommend Hesperia Animal Hospital to anyone that is looking for a caring and professional doctor along with reasonable fees.

How can you not let a family be in the room while their animal is put down unless they pay you $75??!!!?? How heartless and cold to make someone say goodbye to their loved animal in your crowded waiting room, instead of the privacy of their own room!! Ive never heard someone be treated so horribly!!! Must be because you only use one shot and not 2. 1 to first put the dog in a deep sleep, then the euthanasia shot. You probably just use the one, which causes the dog to freak out and fight it. Either way, whatever your reasoning, its cruel and cold and i, nor any of my friends or family will ever use your office!!! I rescued that dog ylu did this to!.

I took my dog and my mom took her cat in to get spayed and neutered. They have the lowest prices and soonest available appointments for months. I didn't have a problem at all, they did a really good job on neutering my small dog. But my mother's experience wasn't as great as mine, they were rude to her and charged her more cause her cat was in "silent heat". She called a few months prior and they recommended she wait until her cat was 5 months old before bringing her into get spayed. It was only suppose to cost 35$ and 10$ for pain medication if you chose to buy the medicine. It came out to 75$ for her cat! Extra charge for her being in "silent heat"! Shea only 5 months old and was not acting like she was in heat but that's why they call it "silent" sounds like a way to over charge to me.

I'm very irritated with this Hospital. I spent about 2 days looking for the perfect hospital to get my dogs spayed and I finally came across this one. I was very thorough to ask what exactly is included in pricing for the surgery and triple checked to make sure a pain injection was included. Spoke to various people and they all said the pain injection is included. Go to get my dogs checked and amazingly the pain injection is an extra item to purchase. On top of that, the receptionists you deal with are clueless and don't seem to care about the animals. Completely amazed this place is best of the desert. Will not be bringing my dogs back that's for sure.

Last week, I took my cat to Desert Care Animal Hospital where I have been taking my pets for years. His eye was swollen and infected. The Dr suggested neutering him and while he was out he would check his eye. He found a foxtail in it. They sent him home with an ointment and a pain medication. His eye got worse and when I called them, they told me they couldn't see him until Thursday. My poor cat would've probably died before that. So I took him to Hesperia Animal Hospital and Dr Ahmed was very forthright with me. He told me my cat's eye was gone. He said he could refer me to someone who specializes in eyes, but it couldn't be saved. He told me he could do the surgery, but that it is very technical. I chose to have Dr Ahmed do it. He gave me a break on the cost and even skipped his lunch to save my cat. I have nothing but good things to say about Hesperia Animal Hospital. Everyone was extremely helpful.

Dr. Ahmed, the owner of the Hesperia Animal Hospital is truly the most wonderful and compassionate veterinarian I have ever taken my pets to. His dedication and concern for the animals he treats is nothing less than astounding. His knowledge of animals and the attention that they receive while in his care far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Ahmed without causing unnecessary panic carefully explained in detail what was wrong with my dogs and what course of treatment he would be taking. After my dogs left the hospital, he called me personally to check on them Dr. Ahmed and his highly trained staff have saved and prolonged the lives of two of my cherished and deeply loved pets. This animal hospital is a state of the art facility; it is remarkably clean, spacious and very welcoming. In my opinion The Hesperia Animal Hospital should be called a Miracle Center for the precious animals we call family.

I got my cats blood test done and I was told I would have the results the next morning. I call in the morning and they said they would call me back in an hour. 3 hours go by and I haven't heard from them so I called again and they told me the Dr was in surgery and that the results were there but the Dr had to tell me so then I called back a few hours later and they tell me he's out at lunch. Call back an hour later and they tell me that the results aren't finished yet. Extremely poor service and they do not seem to care or follow up with their word. I'm never going back.

I have been taking my pets to Hesperia Animal Hospital since 1991. It used to be a good place when Dr Ahmed was the primary doctor, but it is HORRIBLE now! After spending over $1,600., Dr Balesteros still didn’ t know anything other than my cat had some sort of an infection & anemia. Even so, he gave me antibiotic bills that he warned me could permanently damage my cats throat if they weren’t “washed down” completely. He said to wait back out front for my cat to be brought out to me. I waited for at least half an hour while he saw several people who walked in to ask questions before finishing my paperwork and bringing my cat out. I finally left at 6pm. Also, the doctor sniffles constantly like he has a cold and doesn’t wear a mask. Ugh! The front desk staff are all very pleasant and professional. They kept checking to see about bringing my cat to me. It’s a shame they have to work with such disorganization.

Hands down the most caring, attentive, and passionate veterinarian I've ever been to. I had the best post operation experience for my dog and I know she's better for it. Thank you.

We Love Dr Ahmed!
Dr A walked us through multiple issues with our furry kids (pets).
The most server being the euthanasia of our beloved sweet Abbie Rose.
He was there for her 1st vaccines, and her ovariohysterectomy.
Dr Ahmed, and his staff were very professional yet loving and compassionate.
Our last hour with Abbie Rose, Dr brought in a lite candle, dimmed the lights and allowed us to stay as long as we needed to say our last words and hugs with her. He then held her with us till she took her last breath.
Dr Ahmed was genuinely sympathetic, and understood our feeling
on that day.
Lord Jesus, Bless this doctor with all he does with our beloved pets.
Thank you Dr Ahmed and your staff.

I like the fact that all the staff is very friendly and helpful but what I like the most is Dr Ahmed. He is a very caring and professional Vet. He is very conscientious of what his patients are going through with their pets and will not take advantage with outrageous fees. I highly recommend Hesperia Animal Hospital to anyone that is looking for a caring and professional doctor along with reasonable fees.

Been with Dr. Ahmed & his staff for over 9 yrs. We've had 4dogs & 2cats all treated great by everyone. Dr. Ahmed always calls our pets "baby", & you can see his love for all pets.

How can you not let a family be in the room while their animal is put down unless they pay you $75??!!!?? How heartless and cold to make someone say goodbye to their loved animal in your crowded waiting room, instead of the privacy of their own room!! Ive never heard someone be treated so horribly!!! Must be because you only use one shot and not 2. 1 to first put the dog in a deep sleep, then the euthanasia shot. You probably just use the one, which causes the dog to freak out and fight it. Either way, whatever your reasoning, its cruel and cold and i, nor any of my friends or family will ever use your office!!! I rescued that dog ylu did this to!.

I've been taking my Rocky since he started he's vaccines at 8 weeks did the puppy package, was a good deal, then he was sterilized here and has been coming every year for his six years he is now. I have had no major issues with Rocky, so I can't comment for other care. But from looking at parking lot majority of the time is full, staff is very nice, place is clean.

My daughter calls this veterinarian because her dog was having bad seizures , they told her to come in, when she arrived the receptionist informed them that the doctor left for the day because it was slow. Imagine knowing that a girl is bringing in her doggie for serious issues, and they leave knowing she is on her way, so I took them to Ark animal hospital on Bear valley rd. Xlnt service

I took my dog and my mom took her cat in to get spayed and neutered. They have the lowest prices and soonest available appointments for months. I didn't have a problem at all, they did a really good job on neutering my small dog. But my mother's experience wasn't as great as mine, they were rude to her and charged her more cause her cat was in "silent heat". She called a few months prior and they recommended she wait until her cat was 5 months old before bringing her into get spayed. It was only suppose to cost 35$ and 10$ for pain medication if you chose to buy the medicine. It came out to 75$ for her cat! Extra charge for her being in "silent heat"! Shea only 5 months old and was not acting like she was in heat but that's why they call it "silent" sounds like a way to over charge to me.

I love Dr. Ahmed. There was a young couple in here earlier this week and couldnt afford to save their dog from parvo and was going to have it PTS. So Dr. Ahmed saved the dog and just had them come in to get him while I was there.They had no idea How awesome is that? I have been with him for 20 years now. Lori Boltinghouse/4 The Love of Rescue

I cannot express my gratitude for the quality of care my dog received by this facility and all its staff. I've never had such an experience at a Veterinarians. Dr. Ahmed truly cares about all God's creatures and their humans as well. No hidden prices, as a matter of FACT, it was the least expensive visit I have ever had with the maximum amount of service. I'm going to tell all my friends- Hesperia Animal Hospital the best place to take your cat or dog in the Victor Valley area. Thank you again!

Got our usual excellent service from Dr. Ahmed and his staff. We will be going on vacation and will board our cat, Jack at their facilities and must have all his shots prior to the boarding. We often leave Jack there, not once has he ever complained. Grateful for years of service.

I'm very irritated with this Hospital. I spent about 2 days looking for the perfect hospital to get my dogs spayed and I finally came across this one. I was very thorough to ask what exactly is included in pricing for the surgery and triple checked to make sure a pain injection was included. Spoke to various people and they all said the pain injection is included. Go to get my dogs checked and amazingly the pain injection is an extra item to purchase. On top of that, the receptionists you deal with are clueless and don't seem to care about the animals. Completely amazed this place is best of the desert. Will not be bringing my dogs back that's for sure.

Last week, I took my cat to Desert Care Animal Hospital where I have been taking my pets for years. His eye was swollen and infected. The Dr suggested neutering him and while he was out he would check his eye. He found a foxtail in it. They sent him home with an ointment and a pain medication. His eye got worse and when I called them, they told me they couldn't see him until Thursday. My poor cat would've probably died before that. So I took him to Hesperia Animal Hospital and Dr Ahmed was very forthright with me. He told me my cat's eye was gone. He said he could refer me to someone who specializes in eyes, but it couldn't be saved. He told me he could do the surgery, but that it is very technical. I chose to have Dr Ahmed do it. He gave me a break on the cost and even skipped his lunch to save my cat. I have nothing but good things to say about Hesperia Animal Hospital. Everyone was extremely helpful.

Dr. Ahmed, the owner of the Hesperia Animal Hospital is truly the most wonderful and compassionate veterinarian I have ever taken my pets to. His dedication and concern for the animals he treats is nothing less than astounding. His knowledge of animals and the attention that they receive while in his care far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Ahmed without causing unnecessary panic carefully explained in detail what was wrong with my dogs and what course of treatment he would be taking. After my dogs left the hospital, he called me personally to check on them Dr. Ahmed and his highly trained staff have saved and prolonged the lives of two of my cherished and deeply loved pets. This animal hospital is a state of the art facility; it is remarkably clean, spacious and very welcoming. In my opinion The Hesperia Animal Hospital should be called a Miracle Center for the precious animals we call family.

I got my cats blood test done and I was told I would have the results the next morning. I call in the morning and they said they would call me back in an hour. 3 hours go by and I haven't heard from them so I called again and they told me the Dr was in surgery and that the results were there but the Dr had to tell me so then I called back a few hours later and they tell me he's out at lunch. Call back an hour later and they tell me that the results aren't finished yet. Extremely poor service and they do not seem to care or follow up with their word. I'm never going back.
