Our lovely 12 year old labrador woke one morning scared and shivering, and not eating (big red flag for a lab!). Our regular vet was unable to see him and sent us on to this emergency vet. From the moment we arrived we felt cared for and respected. They ran tests, and answered calls in the middle of the night as we waited for results. In no time our guy had his dangerously enlarged spleen removed; now he's feeling better than ever. We appreciated their high level of care for pets, and their people (so reassuring to be able to contact the vet 24/7!); now this is our new regular vet! Read Less

We had a semi-emergent need when our miniature poodle snapped his toe nail down into the quick. Not knowing how far down it was I did not want to risk any further damage by trying to take care of it myself. Dr Herrmann and staff were wonderful. We were seen right away. The injury was not as bad as I thought it might be, so that was a good thing for us. This is not the first time we've had to visit their facility; they are always professional as well as very gentle with our babies which is so important to them (as well as the owners) when they are stressed or injured.

I normally come here for scheduled visits. This last time, though, was for an actual emergency. We were seen very quickly and with great empathy. Both Dr. Herrmann and Chris the tech took lots of time to examine my Moritz as gently and thoroughly as possible--and they were so understanding of the special needs of my semi-feral boy. It turned out that he had not injured himself as badly as I feared, which was a big relief. It was almost as much of a relief that the bill was not outrageous. We were in and out in an hour, and both of us felt better in the end. Thanks! Read Less

I took Yo in cause my big dog Tana bit him (he's little). Yo is a bit of a pain, he bites and snarls at everyone. The crew and Doc at MPV were absolutely fantastic. They took him while snarling and were able to calm him down enough to shave the site and check the bite. Didn't need stitches and they assured me he would be fine. They were right! Gave me some antibiotics to give him and he healed up just fine. My 2 visits also didn't cost me a fortune like vet visits have cost at other places. I would definitely recommend MPV. Read Less

I went in here because my dog had a cough. I had suggested that he might have kennel cough because I have had dogs that have had that before. They continued to sedate him to check his throat to see if he had something stuck in his throat. After they did that, then they said he probably had kennel cough. It cost us about $600 and I am pretty sure the actual vet doesn't even like dogs. The other staff besides the vet are so friendly and nice, but I am pretty sure this place just wants to rip you off.

This is the second time this place has saved our pooches life. He under went an extremely complicated abdominal surgery. What should have been an routine surgery turned into ruptured small intestines, requiring close to 30 inches of intestines being removed. Dr Parnell has excellent bedside manners and truly cares about her patients. I can't say enough good things about her. She definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff treated my dog as if he were their own. I would highly recommend this Veterinary Clinic. Read Less

The care given to your pets is obviously outstanding. I wasn't visiting while they were ill because I literally couldn't handle my emotions. I've had them since pups and was actually quite surprised when I picked them up that they weren't as excited to see me as our usual morning routine. They kissed me and let me love them up but I realized I missed and hurt for them more than they did. It looked like they wanted to stay!! They had been their almost two weeks and were very happy and cared for. It took a couple of days for them to be the same fun loving puppies happy to be home!! I know they were very loved and cared for there. Although it was quite pricey, I love the way they had the best care. All of my anguish was just mine. Read Less

This place ONLY cares about money! We came in with our 2 year old Min Pin that ate some poison and they would not treat our baby without us paying $989.00! We asked if we could pay them half of that and they gave us back our girl and said NO. We frantically called other pet hospitals and found Pet Specialists of Monterey on Canyon Del Rey who charged us $350 for the same care. The Dr. at this place in Ryan Ranch was a blonde that was rude and smelled like cigarettes! This place and it's staff does not care about animals, they only want your money. STAY AWAY FROM THESE HEARTLESS PEOPLE!Read Less

We found this vet through a recommendation from our dog's oncologist. Libby, our 14 year old Labrador had osteosarcoma and we needed a very high quality place for her to stay while we were away on a short trip. Both our Labs have stayed here overnight and were in excellent hands. The doctors and staff are attentive and caring, our dogs are always happy here. Read Less

I can't recommend this hospital and their staff highly enough. Each time we have visited with both our dog (Butters) and cat (Vincent), they have gone above and beyond to make us all feel at home, safe, and well cared for. The staff is highly professional and they care so much about their work, and it truly shows! In an emergency, or just for a checkup, these are the people to trust with your fur-babies, hands down, no contest. Read Less

This is the second time this place has saved our pooches life. He under went an extremely complicated abdominal surgery. What should have been an routine surgery turned into ruptured small intestines, requiring close to 30 inches of intestines being removed. Dr Parnell has excellent bedside manners and truly cares about her patients. I can't say enough good things about her. She definitely exceeded our expectations. The staff treated my dog as if he were their own. I would highly recommend this Veterinary Clinic. Read Less

My baby, Oscar, was attacked by the neighborhood bully, and came home limping and crying with a bloody foot Friday night. I rushed him to Ryan Ranch. They took care of him immediately, and then sent us home with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds. A day later, Oscar is back to his usual self, begging to be let outside. If you can't get to your usual vet, this is where you must take your sick or injured pet. Read Less

The care given to your pets is obviously outstanding. I wasn't visiting while they were ill because I literally couldn't handle my emotions. I've had them since pups and was actually quite surprised when I picked them up that they weren't as excited to see me as our usual morning routine. They kissed me and let me love them up but I realized I missed and hurt for them more than they did. It looked like they wanted to stay!! They had been their almost two weeks and were very happy and cared for. It took a couple of days for them to be the same fun loving puppies happy to be home!! I know they were very loved and cared for there. Although it was quite pricey, I love the way they had the best care. All of my anguish was just mine. Read Less

This place ONLY cares about money! We came in with our 2 year old Min Pin that ate some poison and they would not treat our baby without us paying $989.00! We asked if we could pay them half of that and they gave us back our girl and said NO. We frantically called other pet hospitals and found Pet Specialists of Monterey on Canyon Del Rey who charged us $350 for the same care. The Dr. at this place in Ryan Ranch was a blonde that was rude and smelled like cigarettes! This place and it's staff does not care about animals, they only want your money. STAY AWAY FROM THESE HEARTLESS PEOPLE!Read Less

I have been taking my dogs there for years, for routine care and when they are sick. They treat my animals like their own. They have done surgery on one of my dogs and cleaned both of their teeth. They do an excellent job. I have never had a real 911 emergency but if I do they already are familiar with my babies and I know I can trust them.Read Less

Wonderful people who truly care about your furry family members and don't bankrupt you in process. I've been to every vet in the area. They are, hands down, the best.
