Alta Rancho Pet And Bird Hospital
Rancho Cucamonga, California
General Info
Veterinary services at Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital in Rancho Cucamonga operate according to principles of spatial memory and energy balance. Every segment of the visit from arrival to discharge strengthens sensory clarity for pets throughout California. The setup of appointment rooms follows an identical daily sequence where furniture lighting and entry points remain unchanged to eliminate needless decision-making. Personnel execute minimal vocal modulation combined with restricted movement patterns while incorporating transitional pauses to facilitate pet acclimatization. The management of odors receives attention as well, with scents being neutralized between visits to prevent sensory accumulation. Pet owners receive an invitation to position themselves either nearby or far away depending on their pet's orientation behavior. Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital delivers diagnostic services alongside infection control measures while assessing joint health and offering nutritional modifications together with behavioral consultations and recovery monitoring. Each service emerges within a flow sequence instead of appearing as a checklist item. When the animal turns away or lowers their ears staff members work to re-establish familiar cues by performing repetitive low-impact actions such as stroking the air or providing a tactile anchor like a towel or sleeve. Post-care protocols include rhythm-based reintegration. Post-procedure education instructs families on maintaining morning routines while managing home stimuli reduction and employing soft ambient sounds for sleep cycle regulation. Instructions transcend mere prescriptions by incorporating environmental adjustments that enable pets to resume their daily activities without disorientation. Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital provides veterinary services throughout Rancho Cucamonga and nearby California areas using techniques that emulate natural animal regulation through gentle rhythms, predictable spaces, and low-noise decision-making.

When I first moved to California I was worried about finding a vet that would love my dogs as much as I do. I tried one in Fontana and they were awful. When I finally found Alta Rancho Pet & Bird Hospital I knew we were set. Dr. Henderson is wonderful with our boys and the entire staff knows them by name and lights up when they come in. I've boarded them there several times and feel comfortable knowing they are safe. Both of my dogs have bad allergies and Dr. Henderson was patient and thorough in finding the best course of treatment for each of them and also helped us to help our newest little one lose a lot of weight when he was having some arthritis issues. We love this place and will always entrust them with our kids.

I have been coming here for years, always a good visit. Brought my dog for her appointment at 5:20pm and I there was traffic and I got there at 5:31pm and because it was one min over when emergency times starts and this new girl said " did you bring your dog?" And I just thought to my self well yea why would I come without her. Then she tells me to sign in and said" unfortunately its after 5:30pm so we will have to charge you emergency fee."
That would have been nice to know, I wouldnt have wasted my gas driving more than 20 mins away in traffic to have to just drive back.
I am not liking this place anymore with the new people who work there.

tl;dr best vet! I dropped into Alta Rancho while on vacation from NYC. I brought two dogs with me, a fresh pup and older guy. The vet assistants were knowledgeable, helpful, and quick to assist us. When we saw Dr. Shufer, I was given a wealth of knowledge about my new dog and tips for training him, feeding him, etc., all based on his breed and tailored to the pup's personality. Dr. Shufer had also recommended a stool sample for the new pup -- even though he seemed fined to me -- and within 24 hours of dropping the sample, Dr. Shufer notified me that the pup had giardia. I was able to get him meds and fixed up quickly. Very happy with this visit. I'll be scheduling my annual check-ups with Alta Rancho Pet & Bird whenever I'm in town!

We took our injured rabbit who had been attacked by a dog. The second we got there we waited. No one in the office seemed to be bothered by what essentially was an emergency. Once we got help they placed us in an office where they had soda cups piled on the corner of the desk. When we spoke to the doctor she had her leg causally resting on the patient table like some casual skater kid. The only actual compassionate person was the male nurse who was very gentle with our dying rabbit. To put all the icing on this cake the tools used in our rabbit were not sterilized and after use the doctor wiped it with a napkin then placed it back into it's place. UNSANITARY INCOMPATIONATE UNRELIABLE I wish I would have known all of this before coming here. My animal died in a bad place

My dog Benny, a boxer, blew out his knee at the dog park and could barely walk. We were concerned we were going to have to put him down but Dr. Shufer assured us that through surgery and rehab he could make a full recover. We were skeptical as his injury was severe but decided to move forward. We love our dog and would do anything for him. I am happy report that Dr. Shufer could not have done a better job! Benny runs, jumps and plays as if nothing ever happened. He is a talented surgeon and a caring and compassionate doctor. I highly recommend Alta Rancho Pet Hospital for any and all of your pet's needs.

Brought our Bird in in very bad shape, was given a price but not told anything in depth. We were rushed in and rushed out in hopes that our little love was being cared for. We left him there for a few hours but told when we picked him the vet was cold and matter of fact that he had 50% chance to live. He should have talked to us then that it was going to be a miserable death for our little one. He died a horrible death gasping for air. We had agreed to let them send out a culture but didn't hear from them for a follow up or for results. I called twice and finally got a call back a week after he died with the results. This place is there for making money not relationships with owner and pets. The receptionist is really nice but after that it's down hill. You don't have to take my advice, see for yourself but remember it's up to you how your pet gets treated.

I have been coming here with my now 7 year old dog since I first brought him home from the ASPCA at 8 weeks old and immediately realized something was very wrong. It turned out that he had Parvovirus. They saved his life and have been continuing to provide quality care ever since. The vaccine clinics are very convenient for annual shots. Making an appointment is quick and easy and I have always felt that the level of care is excellent.

I can not say enough about Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital! They were quick to give me an appt. the same day and took such good care of my Enzo, mini goldendoodle. Dr Shuffer and the staff (and all the Doctors) are all amazing - very friendly, kind, and helpful. They made me feel at ease, the doctor took his time asking a ton of questions and then explained everything in detail and made sure that all of my dog's needs were met. Dr Shuffer is also my Birds Vet, he is awesome with Stella as well.

We have frequented this veterinarian clinic for many years now with numerous pets. Doctors and staff are patient and caring people. They take the time to explain things thoroughly and always have the pet's welfare as their first interest.

The vets here are kind and efficient, and the nurses and staff are extremely nice and welcoming. They have very clean facilities and always take very good care of our dog, even when we take her in for routine checkups and teeth cleanings. I would highly recommend this hospital!

Took in my african grey parrot for his first check up and the staff made sure to keep him calm. The staff here are really friendly and are looking out for the safety of the pets that come in. I was very pleased in taking my bird and will continue to do so.

My dog Benny, a boxer, blew out his knee at the dog park and could barely walk. We were concerned we were going to have to put him down but Dr. Shufer assured us that through surgery and rehab he could make a full recover. We were skeptical as his injury was severe but decided to move forward. We love our dog and would do anything for him. I am happy report that Dr. Shufer could not have done a better job! Benny runs, jumps and plays as if nothing ever happened. He is a talented surgeon and a caring and compassionate doctor. I highly recommend Alta Rancho Pet Hospital for any and all of your pet's needs.

Brought our Bird in in very bad shape, was given a price but not told anything in depth. We were rushed in and rushed out in hopes that our little love was being cared for. We left him there for a few hours but told when we picked him the vet was cold and matter of fact that he had 50% chance to live. He should have talked to us then that it was going to be a miserable death for our little one. He died a horrible death gasping for air. We had agreed to let them send out a culture but didn't hear from them for a follow up or for results. I called twice and finally got a call back a week after he died with the results. This place is there for making money not relationships with owner and pets. The receptionist is really nice but after that it's down hill. You don't have to take my advice, see for yourself but remember it's up to you how your pet gets treated.

I have been coming here with my now 7 year old dog since I first brought him home from the ASPCA at 8 weeks old and immediately realized something was very wrong. It turned out that he had Parvovirus. They saved his life and have been continuing to provide quality care ever since. The vaccine clinics are very convenient for annual shots. Making an appointment is quick and easy and I have always felt that the level of care is excellent.

I can not say enough about Alta Rancho Pet and Bird Hospital! They were quick to give me an appt. the same day and took such good care of my Enzo, mini goldendoodle. Dr Shuffer and the staff (and all the Doctors) are all amazing - very friendly, kind, and helpful. They made me feel at ease, the doctor took his time asking a ton of questions and then explained everything in detail and made sure that all of my dog's needs were met. Dr Shuffer is also my Birds Vet, he is awesome with Stella as well.

The staff are really friendly and helpful. You can tell that they care about the pets and their owners! Dr.Reid Shufer, D.V.M. called me with the results of my dog's Penn Hip. He was very patient in explaining to me the test and my dog's results. I will continue to take my pets to him even though we live over an hour away.

We have frequented this veterinarian clinic for many years now with numerous pets. Doctors and staff are patient and caring people. They take the time to explain things thoroughly and always have the pet's welfare as their first interest. We would never go anywhere else unless the doctors here recommended a specialist for one of our pets. Highly recommend.
