My little chihuahua mix got stung by a bee on her back paw by her pad and when i got there, they said they only had 1 doctor on staff and she was in surgury so i had to wait for almost 2 hours. Then they charged me $93.00($63 for the office visit and about $15 for an antihistamine injection). I will never go back to them. I am going to find a vet thats closer and kinder. Read Less

Thinking this might be a vet clinic that truly cares about cats was what brought me to VCA A Breed Apart in Pasadena. This place is awful. They care more about running a lot of tests and running up the tab than actually taking care of the pet. For us, there was no follow up, no plan, no answers. The issues that brought me to this place were never addressed. I was fooled, and parted with a hefty sum before I realized the purpose of this place. Read Less

A Breed Apart Animal Hospital was amazing and took care of every aspect of our dog while he boarded here. The front desk and boarding staffs were extremely nice and welcoming when we decided to board our poodle here for a few weeks. The staff members walked him a few times every day and was very accommodating when we had to postpone our pickup date. My mom felt like she was treated nicely by all staff members even though her English isn't that good. Erik, the pet pal, took him on several walks a day, and really built up his confidence while we were away. I would definitely recommend this place! Read Less

After reading all the negative reviews, I couldn't let this go... My friend and I have been going to this VCA for 14 years. They have been extremely professional and compassionate thoughout, especially during the decline of our dog Tigger with degenerative myelopathy. Dr. Allsup came to our home when we finally had to put him to sleep. And -- this is not your average vet! -- our first doctor Dr. Sostrand drove all the way out from Santa Barbara (where she works at another VCA now) to be with Tigger on his last day. And recently Dr. Allsup brought our other dog Molly home for us after a procedure. The staff all know us and Molly on sight and are very friendly and professional. Our only complaint is that we often have to call in multiple times to remind the staff to fill prescriptions. And yes, they do often find unexpected things, but read the test results yourself -- they aren't making this stuff up! They just report the facts and make recommendations. You are very welcome to "take them under advisement" and decline the various recommended expensive medications and treatments. They've never pressured us into doing anything we didn't feel comfortable doing. If they are frequently finding more things than other vets... then just maybe it's because they are more thorough than other vets!! Read Less

I had the scare of my life at 530am. My bunny Kirby is my everything and my regular vet opens at 9am. So I needed to see a rabbit specialist... The only one that was open was at 730am at VCA A Breed Apart. Dr. Allsup is a rabbit specialist and was so great with my little boy who had stasis - gas. They wanted to do xrays and quoted me which was a lot cheaper than my regular doctor - Dr. Kanfer at Exotic Animal Care. So I agreed. Honestly the care was great! I spoke to Dr. Allsup and described everything with me and even gave me copies of everything. I like that. She even said she'd forward the stuff to Dr. Kanfer for follow up. Now I'm considering switching doctors because the price is great, the service is great, and it's close to me and my work! Dr. K is great but the price is just tough. Parking: they have their own lot The whole emergency visit, meds, iv fluids, two types of xrays, and meds came out to $257... Which for an exotic animal.... It'd be a lot more. Read Less
