All Creatures Pet Care Center

I was told that my dog "may have Valley fever", but I've NEVER seen Valley fever make a dog's leg swell to the size of a soft ball and bust open! Service SUCKED and they wanted MORE money to see him for the same thing! DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS PLACE! Read Less

I've had routine vet care here for my cats... nail trims, vaccines and microchips. They are always very quick about getting us in and out. When one cat had a virus it was quickly diagnosed and treated. Read Less

The Doctor who owns the practice is amazing with all his patients! He took such good care of both my dogs. My yellow lab had surgery twice and my black lab also, Which went very well. The vet is very caring and has amazing bed side manner. Dogs are family members and you want them in good hands, and with this vet they are! You can't find very many caring doctors these days. I refer everyone I know to All Creatures. We make the drive from Tulare, but completely worth it. Another reason why All Creatures is our vet of choice, they have very reasonable prices for all animals needs. I referred my mom over and she is so happy! She said her old vet was trying to charge more than triple the amount for the same procedure. Thanks so much All Creatures for taking care of our fur babies! Read Less

This is a review for the boarding services.My dogs are happy and clean, which deserves a 4-5 star rating, BUT....I've been here twice.  Both times the receptionist (2 different ones) says nada to me and hands me "quotes" for my 2 dogs.  BOTH times they included fees for vaccinations and my dogs don't need vaccines!  I initially provided the vaccination records and I shouldn't have to keep having a conversation about it.  When I mention the quote is wrong, I get an attitude and it takes quite awhile for the adjustment to made.  I feel like this is a PUSH to make more money off of people who aren't paying attention.  The second, and final visit, my 2 small dogs were quoted at $20 and $21 a night.  I didn't pay attention to those rates until I did the manual calculation after I got home.  The website CLEARLY shows rates of $17 to $20 a night, with the higher rate for large dogs, so is no one maintaining the website?  Also, something very strange to me is that they switch out the dogs collars and leashes for a generic one of their own.  Ok.  Makes sense, kind of.  What I don't like is when I pick them up, the dogs are handed off to me with the generic leashes and I have to get my collars back on the dogs and no one gives any type of assistance.  I have 2 dogs and one is very anxious.  This whole process is frustrating and not very "customer friendly". I won't be back. Read Less

My family and I have used All Creatures Pet Care for years. We've all moved away, tried closer Veterinarians and none compare to All Creatures, so we make the drive to Porterville in order to have our Pets seen and treated at All Creatures. They're the best!!! Read Less

It's a really clean and organized, plus they seem to really care. I especially liked the Dr. he reminded me of my Grandfather who also was a Vet. What really mattered most was my sick cat wasn't traumatized, didn't mind the Dr. probing around her tummy!! Read Less

Outstanding Veterinary care! We had moved and not found a new Vet yet for our dogs when one suffered an emergency dental issue. Staff was very professional, friendly and caring. Dr. Imbach was great! Super clean and modern facility. Took care of my little buddy and sent us home. Cost wise our visit was way less than I had thought it would be from previous experiences, especially with all vaccines brought up to date as well. We now have a new Vet and quite comfortable with them! I'm glad we found all Creatures Pet Care! Read Less

Longtime patients (our animals actual/the husband and I emotional!), and I can't imagine going any place else. Drs. Imbach, and Gaffrey are just the best there is. The vet techs are so caring and knowledgeable. We also just love the office staff girls. They are so helpful, and lovely. All Creatures have been with us through some rough times with our pets. Their compassion, has been a comfort when we've needed it the most. Read Less

Yesterday, I took Bronco is this place and explained the situation. I am willing to pay for the vet bill and mediation for him even though this dog doesn't belong to me. This veterinary understood that my passion for this dog's needs is that he needs medical attention. I am willing to take the responsibility to get Bronco whatever he needs to get him well. Plus whatever up to date vaccinations and rabies that Bronco needs. I was told that this dog has all his vaccinations and up to date rabies. However, there is no records on file according to All Creatures. I said ok, let's get this dog up to date vaccinations and rabies that I can file it through Porterville animal controls for me to get licensed for Bronco. Thank you Veterinary Geffory for your help for getting Bronco medication for him. The rest is my responsibility to get him back to ideal weight and on the road to recovery. Plus this veterinary knows that I take care of Scout and Rottie. They also know about an emergency situation on kitten right hind leg was broken and I took care of it. Paid for it and she's doing fine. Still being the ninja attack kitten when you walk by her. That's her way to play with you or the dogs.Read Less

We had to take out pitbull in to be seen and they where only vet that would take her last min. They where all wonderful and very kind even my dog like the staff. We will be staying with that vet for sure. Read Less

We have been coming here since we moved out here in 1997 the ppl are great, friendly, our past vet was wonderful and our new vet is also wonderful. They take good care of all our fur babies in the past and still do. We'll never change. Their family to us. Read Less

My fiance and I recently had a wonderful experience! We took in our rescued kitten to be examined and Dr Gaffery was so very kind and patient with all of our questions and concerns. He took as much time as he possibly could to make sure we left with no worries about our new little guy. The receptionists were so friendly and made sure we got everything we needed. Thank you so much, All Creatures! Read Less

Dr. Gaffrey & the staff at All Creatures were caring, quick & professional in treating my Lumiere for a severe feline asthma attack. He's home & doing well. They took the time to make sure I knew what to do going forward. All my animals will be heading here for their medical needs from now on. Read Less

Dr. Imbach is an excellent vet. I trust him with all my beloved Furbabies. He is caring and calls clients back personally. The girls upfront are not the friendliest and if your animal has an emergency, don't call them! I had a Great Dane in bloat, I was told for a $50 fee I could come and wait, they might be able to work her in! My baby died by the time I found a vet that would see her. And I have been a client for 10 years! Read Less

We took our Bubba in about two weeks ago to see Dr Gaffrey. Unfortunately the prognosis was not good. Dr Gaffrey was very helpful in helping us understand the illness that Bubba had, which was FIP. Today we brought Bubba in to be euthanized. Dr Gaffrey and his staff, showed so much compassion and understanding, they walked us through the process, we were able to stay with him until he went to sleep. It was comforting to us knowing he didn't suffer. Thank you all for your professionalism, and compassion. We will continue to bring our little Jesse to you. Read Less

My husband and I have loved many "clients" of All Creatures Pet care".  We've boarded our baby's there, just a couple times , they've had numerous immunizations there, couple surgeries , of course spay/neuter, etc.. This has been over a period of 20 years, as well as many, many babies (ok pets ). Honestly I can't think of any time I felt disrespected by any of the staff or Drs. I've been pleased with the treatment of my pets. That's all that's important , I'd recommend them . Read Less

Although I've not been fortunate enough to take my pets to ACPCC in over 20 years, I must say that ACPCC set the bar very high and I've not been able to find another vet that comes close to the care that ACPCC staff provides. You are greatly missed. Read Less

Have taken all my animals to Dr. Imbach over the past nearly 30 years. He is very thorough and informative about all my pets' needs and conditions. Extremely accommodating with your pet's best interest always at the forefront of every visit. The majority of the staff there are friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They not only care about providing the best care and service for your pets, but they care very much about the pet's owners too. Read Less

One of the coldest veterinarian offices I have ever unfortunately had to take one of my dogs to. The office staff has to be one of the rudest all powerful groups that decides if a animal lives or dies. Example - I personally called after a weekend informing the staff that my sisters dog had been ill over the weekend and had been vomiting and not able to keep any fluids or solids down. Mind you that we had just had the dog in a matter of 4 days before to have his initial series of vaccination along with his parvovirus shot. I informed the front office of the animals condition and if they had any openings to have the animal seen. I was quickly shot down as if it wasn't serious and these things happen. I informed them that I was genuinely concerned about the animal having lost a previous puppy to parvovirus and recognizing the symptoms. I was casually dismissed and informed if I wanted to make a appointment they maybe could see the dog the following Monday but reassured that there wasn't anything to worry about. I pushed the issue and eventually did get informed I could bring the dog down as a walk in. The vet examines the dog and informs us that it must have been something that he ate. We take the dog home and continue to watch the animal slip farther to end up passed away the next morning. Well unfortunately because this is a small town there really isn't too many options to choose from for vets. So today I call and inform the front office when they first open that my 7 year old Lab has been regurgitating for the past 14 hours over night. They quickly inform me that all appointments for Saturday are filled, so I ask about any walk in appointments. I'm told I could but I'm gonna be charged a walk in fee of $60, a emergency fee of $100, on top of the normal exam fee and any additional fees for exams and medication. I informed the quick toned lady that we have had probably 14 dogs over the past 20 years with them and asked if there was anything that they could do to be able to see my dog today. I was informed over time isn't cheap and the doctor has to call it a day eventually, they have stuff they have to do to. So there may or may not be the fees discussed and possibly more if I do choose to bring my dog in...if the vet chooses to see him. I look at my dog as a member of the family, but I am not open to extortion because of that. If this office had any sense of compassion then maybe they could make a exception for the fees on top of fees before you even start to pay the normal fees. Shame on you All Creatures for taking advantage of people when members of their family are at their weakest. Read Less

my dog is like 2 months its a toy chiwahha and it dont want to eat nothing and also its not very play ful and its throwing up alot and having diaria help me and telll me what to give it and what does it have Read Less

My dog incurred some kind of muscle injury while we were hiking. I called to set up an appointment and was turned away for being 5 minutes late. Really? This is the second time I've been turned away. The first is when my son's dog hurt itself and there were no appointment times open. Go to Visalia. They care. Read Less

I will never bring my dog back here for vet services or boarding! I picked my dog up from their boarding house and she had gotten a staph infection due to the unsanitary conditions. They wouldn't let me see where they kept her. Big red flag!! Never take your pets here! I'm surprised they haven't been shut down already Read Less

Prices are decent. They tried charging extra for a spay saying she was in heat at the time...when she hadn't been for over a month. They waived that though after talking to them about it. Facility looks nice but their service at intake wasn't very friendly. I liked that the instructions were clear on post care. Read Less

We love All Creatures! The staff is super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We always know that our pets will be well taken care of when we need to leave them there. The doctors are great and will answer any questions you have. Even my dog loves it there, she gets excited to when we get close, and can't wait to get inside to see the girls there. We wouldn't go anywhere else!!! Read Less

Such great service by a very caring staff. I took my big dog in after she was attacked by another dog. The doctor repaired a very nasty gash above the dogs left eye, and it looks like it was repaired by a plastic surgeon! I have to look to see evidence of a scar. I also wanted the thank the wonderful staff for taking care of ME as well as my 19-year-old cat when it came time to put her down. Great all around vet! Read Less

This place is great! They have an up to date practice that offers a multitude of services. I have been taking my animals there for over ten years and would never go anywhere else. I know when I leave my animals for any reason that they are in good, caring, kind hands. I only wish that all veterinary hospitals could uphold the high standards that All Creatures Pet Care Center implements on a daily basis as basic care. They're five gold stars in my eyes. Read Less

My 6 month old dog was ran over and was limping and wimpering so i took him in.I barley spoke to the doctor for 2 minutes at the most! I got no questions or concerns in,The assistants were rude and pushy.The one who took my took my dog back when i dropped him off threw his collar at me and dragged him by one of they're rope collars. He was crying and i told her "he was ran over, he cant walk" and she replied "well he's going to have to".at which point, they entered the next room and i could still hear him cry.i had already paid. and i knew my dog needed to be seen asap or else i would've gotten back my check and took my dog elsewhere.I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE GOING HERE UNLESS THEY WANT THEY'RE PET TO BE SCARED OF PEOPLE!worst vet clinic i have ever been to.. hands down Read Less
