We were very pleased with our visit with Dr. Evans. She was very friendly, thorough and made sure to answer all our questions. The whole staff was friendly and made sure to display all our options for our dog's needs. The main issue we had with our previous vet was how much time we had to spend in the waiting room to be seen but this has never been a problem at the VCA as they are very prompt and seem really organized.

Today was the first day that I have taken my pets to VCA and I could not be happier. I went in with both my senior dogs (10 and 12 years old) and had them get the first free physical exam. My first impression of the place itself is that it was clean and friendly, not crowded and short wait time (I had made an appointment for early in the morning). They were extremely kind and thorough about asking for my dogs’ medical history and immediately called their previous vet to get more information right on the spot! If that doesn’t show quality, I’m not sure what does. As we walked into the room, they attended us almost immediately (no more than a couple minutes of waiting). They asked us a lot of questions about what we had observed in our pets and their general health at home. They asked us about temperament and their home routine and what our current concerns were. Having my eldest dog diagnosed with a progressive heart murmur a couple of years ago was tough and we knew he wouldn’t have long. We told them we were considering putting him to sleep because of how many health concerns and the dramatic weight loss he’s had these past couple of months. They were extremely sympathetic and let us know what all of our options were in terms of improving his quality of life, prolonging his life, what their euthanasia process was like without sounding like it was all business. That was the most reassuring part and made us feel more comfortable in our options and making a decision. The doctor did a very thorough physical exam of both dogs and addressed our concerns and was patient with all of our questions. Amazing. She also took her time and made sure we were all taken care of before leaving the room. She did not seem like she was in a rush to attend another patient, which maybe made the appointment pass quicker. She was very relaxed and handled everything like a professional. Financially, it is about average if not slightly more, but they do consider you and try to help you out the best that they can. They also don’t pressure you (at least make you feel pressured) to buy anything you think you don’t need. They literally give you what they recommend but ultimately leave the choice up to you. I have never been treated with so much respect, kindness, and sympathy at any vet as I have here. They truly are the best of their kind. Super professional and make you and your pets feel at home. Can’t wait to go back. VCA is now our permanent vet because of the high quality care they provide. Read Less

We have been coming to this office since moving to the city, approx. 6 mos. We typically get appointments within a week and have even had success scheduling same-day appointments. She’s been in for urgent care, routine care and even nail trims. The staff is knowledgable and friendly, treatment plans are thoroughly explained, billing is clear and seamless (making it easy to submit to insurance). Space is clean, well-stocked and welcoming. Highly recommend! Read Less

Doctors are great and very caring. I get a postcard in the mail when my dogs are due for a visit/vaccinations however, I find these are frequently wrong or off so I end up calling in. I also think they tend to overly charge, especially for dental work. They push the Care Club which is expensive but it is worth it if your dog needs the dental work, x-rays or semi-regular visits. I typically end up having to pay for more than I expected when we go in but overall the doctors and techs are nice and very good. Read Less

I have been taking my senior dog here for a few years. The space is very clean, and the entire veterinary staff is very caring. They take the time to answer all my questions, and are flexible with same day appointments. I have put my full trust in them to take the very best care of my dog. The hours are great, including being open on the weekends. Convenient parking, with a friendly staff and caring nature make VCA Animal Hospital stand out. Read Less

The facilities, staff, and doctors are absolutely amazing. We take our cats and dog here for everything. We especially love Vet Tech Linda and Dr. Farrar, but everyone is incredible. We have a special needs dog who is always treated with care and tenderness. Easily the best animal hospital we've used in LA.Read Less

The facility and staff are top-notch. Sadie got great care and attention from our terrific tech Linda and from Dr. Farrar. A great experience for my cat and for me. We will definitely be coming back here! Read Less

We have been bringing our dog and cats to VCA Venice for years and are very happy with their services. Their vets and techs are really very caring and helpful and follow up when needed. The facility is also clean and well kept. We always come back here. Read Less

Avoid this place at all costs. After coming back from a skin tag removal w this vet, our cat started acting entirely different. He no longer sleeps with us, flinches when people approach (he used to greet everyone, very social). All signs point to something that he experienced at VCA. It has been 4 months since the incident, and we just miss our little guy so much. They have some outrageous pricing and continually try to up sell you on products you don't need. Please do not risk your wallet or best furry friend's personality by coming here..the money will come and go, but there's no way to get our old cat back, even though he's still alive and healthy, and it's heartbreaking.

Has caring doctors and medical technicians, can usually see patients on a day's notice, pretty thorough and reasonable cost. They do not work with online pharmacies since recently changing policies, however, and make patients come to the office to pick up paper scrips, which can add days when you need meds for your pets and don't want to pay high clinic rates. I prefer doctors who will fax prescriptions directly to web providers, saving a week of mail delays.Read Less
