Los Gatos Dog And Cat Hospital

Great service front and back offices. Great with our dogs who can be pretty skittish. All three are rescue... And we needed rescuing, so we make sure to show them by getting them the best possible care. That's here, Los Gatos Dog & Cat Hospital. Read Less

Thank you all for being so sweet and immediately responsive to my sick little Hootie! I know this isn't quite a normal review since I am a veterinarian, but you have no idea how much it means to turn to others with my own animals when there's too much emotion to handle it well myself. You guys are a diamond in the rough!!! Read Less

We're somewhat new to Los Gatos Dog & Cat Hospital and have always had a great experience with the team caring for our two boxers. A few days ago we called the hospital on a Saturday morning with an urgent need to bring our older female boxer in to be seen. The hospital was clear that they had no appointments available and would do the best they could to help our sick little girl. We brought her into the office and our dog, Ellie was in bad shape. They quickly took her into the back, gave her an IV, oxygen and put warm blankets on her to bring her back to as stable a condition as possible. The staff checked on our family often to see how we were doing as this was a tough time for us. Dr. Linda Pirie was exceptional. In a compassionate, yet forthright way, she explained to us what they had found. The hospital took X-rays and confirmed our fears,  that our Ellie girl would not make it through the day.  They called us into the back and had us stay with her as long as we needed to, to give her kisses and say our good-byes. They treated our family with such kindness and respect and truly made us feel as if we were the only ones there. The next morning, Sunday, we had flowers on our doorstep with a card that read: In loving memory of Ellie. Thinking of you. The Doctors and Staff at the Los Gatos Dog & Cat Hospital. As with many, our animals are a part of our family as well. Thank you to the kind doctors and staff for making this difficult day a little easier for our family to bear. Read Less

Do you wonder why almost every one of the 5 star reviews here  is from 2015 and earlier?  LGDC has gone to the dogs (no pun intended).  We had used them as our vets for a long time time but did notice the quality was falling while the price was rising. NEVER AGAIN. We are now at Adobe in Los Gatos where there vets are very thorough and doctors are very sharp, focused and friendly (they even get on the floor with dogs and cats to play with them so anxiety is reduced).Why am I now at Adobe?  Here is why:I came in to LGDC in with a rescued dog Jan 2016 since his vaccine records showed that his rabies vaccine was EXPIRED.  In fact that was the sole reason we went to LGDC.  guess what?  Ditzy vet completely forgot to give it to him.  We had unknowingly gone all of 2016 without his rabies shot!   Our dog had bitten my husband and neighbor (small on hand but did puncture skin) thereafter as well.We could have been sued by our neighbor!!!!I was under the assumption the vet gave the shot (logical assumption given this was reason THE we were there).  We were charged $130 for a physical exam and shot (even though vet only touched his butt to give him what apparently ended up being a different shot).  Vet kept saying "oh he needs time to trust me so I won't touch him this time."  Really?  Do you think he'll not trust you when we we see you again in a year?  Lol, So how did she do a physical exam?  She didn't.They put us at a huge liability risk.  Thank God we finally caught it when we took our dog to Petco for a dog wash and they called LGDC and were told his rabies expired January 2016 - right when I took him to LGDC to supposedly get rabies shot.We never even got a sorry from them after we called and were furious about it.  Nor did they offer to credit us for the rabies shot or physical exam that wasn't done.  BE VERY CAREFUL.  Their vets have gone downhill.  We even saw the best regarded when there and he was poor.It makes me wonder about my best friend's now deceased dog whether he could've been earlier diagnosed with cancer;  they just kept telling her older dogs get coughs.  Taking an X-ray to confirm it takes 10 mins.  They only decided to do one on the 4th visit in 5 months.  Cancer.  Now stage 4. If they had given him an X-ray the first time instead of dismissing it as a cough, it wouldn't be Stage 4 and there could be a treatment plan.  Instead, it was Stage 4 and he was put down 1 month later.  I feel guilty I was the one that recommended LGDC.Please be careful.

I am visiting the area with my dogs, one of whom has a chronic condition that we are managing with weekly acupuncture and various rehab modalities. His rehab vets back home recommended going on to the Canine Rehabilitation Institute website to find a practitioner nearby to continue his care while we are visiting my mom for the holidays.  I was surprised that there were so few CVA's (Certified Veterinary Acupuncturist) in the area; luckily, the one I found practices here, just a 15-20 minute drive from my mom's house.  With the mainly positive Yelp reviews for the veterinarians here I decided to go ahead and give them a try.  I contacted them to try to set up a couple of visits over the 10 days we will be here, but was told that they do acupuncture on Wednesdays. Okay, Wednesday it is!We were able to schedule a visit with Dr. Siahpolo. We arrived early (because I wasn't sure how bad traffic might be) and were told that the doctor was running a little late, but it turned out not to be so bad.  We were led to another building in the back, which had a pretty spacious floor area, a nice bed for the patient to lay on (though my dog preferred to lie on the carpet), and a sort of floor-pillow/futon thing that I suppose I could have sat upon if I wasn't comfortable on the floor.  I was glad to hear that Dr. Siahpolo had reviewed the history that our regular Ft. Collins clinic had sent, and she asked further questions to clarify his history.  She had frozen baby food at the ready to keep my dog occupied and settled while he was getting his needles. She explained that she practices traditional Chinese acupuncture rather than the medical acupuncture we are more familiar with, so it may seem a bit different than what we are used to, but honestly I guess I am not observant enough to discern the difference. As we were leaving she advised that my dog would likely be tired for the rest of the day, but that he should be feeling pretty good the next day.  He did indeed fall right asleep in the car, and seems to be feeling great today.All in all, this was a really good experience for us, starting with the cute little "welcome" sign for new patients to the attentive care that my dog received. The only bummer for us was the limited availability of acupuncture visits -- I would have preferred to be able to get a couple of visits in -- one early in the week after getting in to town to help with travel-induced kinks, and another toward the end of the week to see us through the trip back home -- especially given that we had to do a new patient exam with its requisite fees. Hopefully, though, we should be set for future visits, and perhaps the acupuncture/rehab part of the business will continue to grow and open up further availability for the next time we are here.

Been taking my dog here for 8 years. They give tender loving care to your 4 legged family member. Their knowledgeable and amazing. My favorite vet tech is Sandi. She teaches a dog training class that I highly recommend.Read Less

LGD&C has cared for all our furbabies for over twenty five years. The entire staff is caring and compassionate. We started with Dr. Kyle when it was just him and I think one other Vet and we have stayed ever since. I highly recommend LGD&C for anyone looking for quality, compassionate, and sensible care for their four legged kids. Read Less

This review is for Dr. Marilyn Pachorek. I've been bringing my English Bulldog for care on and off to her for the past 8 years. We moved out of state for a few years and when we moved back to CA, we were no longer near Los Gatos so I found a vet clinic closer to our home. When I had to bring in my dog to the other clinic for a busted ear drum, he was also diagnosed with osteosarcoma (cancer of the bone) at the same time. This diagnosis shocked us as my dog showed no other distress other than his ear.. This diagnosis caused my family much anguish and we were told he may have 6 months since this cancer is so aggressive. Well, 3 months go by and my dog is absolutely fine and shows no symptoms of pain so we ask for another X-ray and a second opinion and it comes back that it's probably arthritis. At that point I decide to go back to see Marilyn and I'm so glad I did. She took one look at my dog and knew he didn't have osteosarcoma. She treated his ear infection (chronic) and put him on a low dose of daily meds to keep his allergies at bay. Marilyn is a wonderful, practical vet who is there to help you and your pet and never prescribes unnecessary medication. You can completely trust her judgement and I am so thankful we are back at this practice and back under Marilyn's care. She truly is the best vet and is such a warm, friendly person- more like a friend! Read Less

These folks make a real effort to take care of pets, AND their owners! Many thanks for your help with all four of our dogs, Autumn (King Charles Cavalier), Lady Bean ( Bean Sprout, Argentine Dogo), Tejon ( Chocolate Lab), and Zeke (Toy Maltese);) Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and cats here for years, my mom recommended the place to me as she'd been coming here for years before me. The front desk staff, nurses, and vets are always friendly and love all the animals. In the waiting room the receptionists often come around to pet my dog and give her cookies. My dog is a little shy/reserved around strangers and everyone there is so great with her. The nurses and vets are so sweet with my cats, giving them kisses and laughing at them being playful or silly in the exam room. I've never had any problems getting appointments. My pets have been spayed/neutered here, except for the cats I adopted from the Humane Society that were already fixed. Thankfully I haven't had too many emergencies, but they've always gotten me in when there's been emergencies or when I've had concerns. I've also taken my dogs here for puppy training which is adorable and really fun. I just love how much they care about animals and how friendly and knowledgeable everyone is. I definitely recommend taking your pets here for outstanding service. Read Less

We moved to the South a Bay Area and our groomer highly recommended this clinic. We have now taken our Corgi here as well as 1 of our 3 cats. Unfortunately, we just put our oldest cat down and this team made the process a little less terrible. We had our sweet girl cremated and they even included a little plaque. We feel so blessed to have found such animal lovers to help us with ours. Read Less

I had a review on LGD&CH but it seems to have disappeared. I have had cats and dogs my entire life. I have been seeing the vets at this wonderful place for at least 15 years. Before that I felt my pets were just not important. It was always about money and I had been to quite a few other vets. This place is the best. I love how they treat my animals. I have been to Dr Sheehy a lot lately, but every vet here is excellent. I never have problems getting an appointment. The receptionists are so polite and friendly. Most of all this clinic has the expertise to help out in any situation. They are so honest and so reasonable with their charges. They are so kind and understanding when our pets are at the end of their life. These vets and technicians do love animals and that is their number one priority. The last vet we saw was so under staffed. That is not the case here. All of my pets were spayed and neutered here. I will not go to any other vet. I want to thank Dr Sheehy for caring for our cats . He worked with us and Tommy is 181/2 years old. It was his care that made a difference. All of the vets are kind and very excellent. Every experience has been perfect. How lucky we are to have these vets to take care of our beloved pets.Thanks to all of you. Read Less

Multiple horrendous experiences with the care received by both dogs and cats there. Ran into one of their moron vet techs the other day, whom I had previously met another place, not realIzing he worked there- I said I hope you don't work ..there -I have nothing good to say about them ..didn't even bother to ask about situation to try to straight out- simply walked away . I think they are used to people being upset with their experience there. Over the years I have heard dozens of people only say they had horrible experiences there. ..nothing good - Adobe pet hospital isn't perfect - however- 180 degrees better than Los Gatos Dog and Cat Hospital. Thumbs down Read Less

What a wonderful team! A feral cat on our property had been bitten and had a large abscess. The office gave us a humane trap and we caught him at 6:30pm. They had us come right in and we were out by closing time. They understood the anxiety of keeping him trapped overnight would have caused and treated him with care and even came in on the lowest end of the price range they quoted. Very satisfied and thank you! Read Less

After having a horrible experience at Saratoga Vet hospital. We had our first visit here after our neighbor recommended this place. Since the time we stepped in - the place was clean, my dogs name was on a beautiful welcome board, the nurses and assistants were super friendly and helpful. Our puppy is usually nervous around new environments but here she was very easy to manage. We loved Jen and Dr Frandle gave us great information and we also found out that my dog was good on all the necessary shots and didn't need additional shots for another year. I absolutely love this place and will highly recommend it to everyone. Please give this place a try and you will see that the Vets here are not trying to make money off of your dog. They genuinely care about every living being. They also have a training and Day care facility and I want to give a shout out to Sandi, Andrea, Catherine and Sitara. Lovely lovely people. They all went above and beyond to help my dog. Thank you wonderful ladies for all your wonderful work. You are phenomenal at how you are maintaining the facility and helping our pet parents like me. Big virtual hugs to each and every one of you !!! Keep up the great work !!! Read Less

The doctors here are amazing. They are all super compassionate and really cared about our pups even though we were brand new patients. They gave us super detailed information and instructions to monitor our dachshund to ensure she was getting better. A+ Read Less

Had an heart-aching  experience with the daycare at Los Gatos Dog & Cat hospital.Brought my dog in for one hour evaluation for the first time dogs. Got a call 20 mins later saying it's not going to work out because he was too overwhelmed that he jumped over the low doors. That is an unfair statement because:1. It was his first time there and they called him too overwhelmed after 20 mins during the busiest drop-off time in the morning. 2. They called him "too athletic" that he was able to jump the doors, when I asked them if they thought about correcting him they said no. 3. They didn't let us tour the facility upon request so that we could see if we like it there and also walk around with our dog to get him at ease. 4. They said my dog is the only dog out of 100 dogs there that has ever jumped over the low doors, and then later said they know the low door setup is a problem because other dogs and owners have problems with it too.5. They said my dog can get out the main door and escape if other people come in and leave the door open - shouldn't they ensure there is staff watching the main door as well as additional staff(s) watching over the dogs in back?6. They said the particular group of dogs there overwhelmed my dog so my dog is not a good fit - "particular" meaning the group that is there on Friday morning for that specific 20 mins? My dog has been happily socializing at another daycare for the last 1-2 years.What pains me is they have no control and no good read on the dogs. They don't believe the dog is a good fit after seeing him overwhelmed for 20 mins during the time dogs and people are constantly coming in and out. They don't have the skills to correct dogs. They don't have the right ratio of staff to ensure dogs in the back and the people coming in the main door will all be monitored. They don't have the courtesy to provide a tour of facility for the owners so we can determine if it's a good daycare setup. Read Less

Today was our first appointment here...I was a lil worried that it was going to be extremly expensive...after all it is in Los Gatos...much to my surprise it was very reasonable but best if all the staff were soooo friendly! the vet asst and the vet were sweet as pie!!!! Our doggie absolutely loved them and gave them bunches of kisses! I would definitely recommend this hospital to anyone. I score them an A+++++++ Read Less

We've been going to LG D&C for years now. In August of 2015 they found a melanoma tumor in our dog MJ's toe. They were booked solid for surgeries a week out, but moved the earth to get MJ in to have her toe amputated just 24 hours after we got the results. I cannot put into words how grateful I am to everyone at LG D&C, they exemplified a level of care and dedication to MJ that goes far beyond the 5 stars and tearful thanks I have to give. Thank you so very much, I will never forget what you did for us. Read Less

My family have been seeing the Dr's at the Los Gatos Dog and Cat Hospital for over 15 years! We wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you for the great care and healthy support of our 4 legged family members! <3 Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about the wonderful people here. Been taking our swissys to them for about 5 years. We had to put our oldest down last week and it was a semi-emergency as he was losing strength by the day. They came. It was so difficult but when they came, I felt their compassion for my old boy. I always wanted him to pass in our yard, with his family, toys and friends but was a little skeptical about others being there even though I knew a vet had to be there. When they left with him, I was so deeply saddened but knew in my heart he was taken care of. Thank you.Thank you so much for letting our Sam pass in peace and the flowers were beautiful Read Less

Such a wonderful clinic with amazing staff and vets. Our dog LOVES coming to the vet which is such a great thing to see. They always get us in quickly and are very thoughtful to his needs. They remember his quirks and always call him by name, which is comforting to know that they remember him because they see so many animals.They have a great puppy day care in the back and amazing training for your pups as well. Our lil guy has had a lot of medical issues in the beginning of his life and they have always gone above and beyond to get him feeling his best. We feel so lucky to have such an amazing vet.

I am a retired vet tech and Vet hospital manager. Los Gatos is So very high priced. While hospitlized for 2 days They overdosed my 2 year old dog with an ""off label"" pain killing medication. We then went to another hospital where she died a few days later of pneumonia+collapsed lung. Read Less

I just had my cat treated on an emergency basis at this vet and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the entire experience. Not only did they take my pet on a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment request but they talked me through every possible issue, cost and potential procedure with total concern and care. And when I was too sick (myself) to come pick him up at the end of the day the vet offered and delivered my pet home to me as a courtesy. You rarely find customer service like this these days. I would recommend this office to anyone with pets in the area. In fact, I feel like I need to do them a favor in return for their kindness.Read Less
